Love this place! Really delicious fresh food and great beer options on tap. The service is awesome too

Super loud, rude staff, don't have much specialty liquor, the grossest fried pickles I've ever had in my life and I love pickles

Teddy Gallaghers Irish Pub in downtown Franklin is a wonderful spot to gather with friends or family. The soup and fries with gravy are phenomenal. Enjoy a cold beer while watching the game. Parking is public, so be patient as you find a spot. read more

See all

Went today for lunch. What an absolute disappointment. The service was absolutely terrible and rude for that matter Walked in and no greeting while we stood at the entry. Sat ourselves. The food service took over 30 minutes for a few Ruben sandwiches and a chicken sandwich Sorry to say. One and done for this place ! read more

Went last night (7/7) - music bingo was a nice surprise. Our waitress and another waitress working were so kind and hard working. Food and drinks were really good especially for the price. Manager is a yikes and it's obvious her staff doesn't like working for her. Attempted to use this 25% off promo on entertainment app and manager said "don't honor that, I have never seen that before" and walked away.... The two waitresses said "I mean it literally says our name on it, we can't not take it." And gave me the discount. Good customer service and ballsy (in a good way) to stick up for the customer even though if they said no on the 25% off I wouldn't put up a fight about it (not a Karen.) Attached is the promo in case you wanted to see what the manager dIDn'T wANt tO HoNOr. read more

Teddy Gallagher's Irish Pub - the menu - Irish Pub Near Me - Franklin, Massachusetts

We've been here many times for dinner, but never considered lunch. Just as yummy at lunch time. I feel like Teddys needs more credit for having real - homemade burgers. So few places do that any more. Delicious comfort food. Great service too. Love having this staple in our community! I would share a photo but we were so hungry we forgot ;) read more

Kudos to Teddy's management. When learning our party was plant-based, they happily made us flatbreads (sans the cheese) with our choice of toppings. Draft beers were tasty and service was quick and polite. That's customer service! read more

Nice vibe. We just moved here and invited some of our family to brunch/lunch. I had the Cuban, Melinda a d her sister had Sheperds Pie

Been going here since early 2023 and have been loving it! The staff is incredibly friendly and kind, and the food is great for a pub! On top of their regular drinks menu, they tend to also do seasonal drink menus, which are super fun! We tend to usually go here on Thursday nights as they do music bingo, which is incredibly fun! Everyone gets into it and there's a prize for the winners at the end of each round! The ambiance during music bingo nights are lively and enthusiastic. Highly highly recommend. read more

This is a fun Irish pub in downtown Franklin. Food is delicious. Waitstaff is friendly and efficient. We enjoyed playing the music bingo and the live entertainment following. read more

This was our 1st visit and we were very pleased with the food and service. We had burgers and fish & chips and everything was very good. We'll definitely be back. read more

Dropped in on a Friday and was pleasantly surprised by music bingo. The vibe was fun and laid back. The food was good, our waitress was super nice. The only negative I have is the manager/owner (whoever she was) was pretty snarky and passive aggressive- total bad attitude with unnecessary comments that made the experience overall uncomfortable...(for example, I wanted chicken tenders but this was only on the kids menu. The waitress was so sweet, put the order in for me anyway and it was delivered by this manager who put it on the table and said "oh I don't see any kids here, you're lucky... I wouldn't have done that," then proceeds to walk away before I could say anything back). Not great customer service on her part which reflects poorly on this restaurant in my opinion. read more

Great location, good food. Three stars because the music was just too loud. Kinda ruined our dinner as we could barely hear each other. Will prolly do take out if we decide to eat there again. read more

Wouldn't know how the food was. Tried to order pickup over the phone in the afternoon. Person asked us to hold on for two minutes. Sure. This became 15, we weren't in a hurry. Hung up and drove over. Walk in, maybe four people done with their meals at tables, we waited at the wait to be seated sign. And waited and waited. bartender in plain view with 3 couples at the bar. Went over to the bar to see if we could order to go. Bartender never even acknowledged us, just went about her business for a solid 15 minutes. I get if you are short staffed, just say so. Nothing. So we left, she never turned around. Don't worry, we found food. I'm sure you aren't and I can guarantee we aren't the first or the last. read more

First visit and if it's as good the next time, I'll upgrade to five stars. I was in the mood for a cold IPA, good burger, and fries. Sounds simple enough but so many places fail. It was a Thursday, early evening and the place was relatively empty, which was not a bad sign, but could result in poor service and food that was not fresh. Quite the contrary, our server was excellent and so was my meal. She checked back after I took a bite of the burger and checked to see if I wanted another IPA. Perfect, but again, a lost art with many servers today. She asked how I wanted the burger done and I asked for medium rare - rather difficult with a burger, but the kitchen pulled it off. The bun was fresh, as were the toppings and the fries....so often fries disappoint me because they are under-cooked, over-cooked, or if they are perfect, there's not enough to last through the burger......not this time. I really liked the fries. By the time we left, the place was filling up, and now I know why. read more

What a great lunch at the bar! The Strawberry Lemonade cocktail was delicious, and their clam chowder is out of this world. We ordered the Reuben (delicious) and the Fish Tacos (also delicious). Would highly recommend and visit again! read more

Irish Pub it's not!!! Only Irish beer is Guinness! It's very load and noisy! Apps were good fried green beans! And corn beef egg rolls were tasty but more roll than corn beef! Turkey club sandwich is always our go to at any pub style Resturant this turkey club had pretty much raw bacon! See photo included read more

Poop Service was only okay I was dying of hunger as well as Nikki and than we had to loose table, due to kareokie and also a big disturbance and ruining the peace of customers because of what happened. But the food was pretty good. read more

This is my second rewrite of my Teddy Gallagher's review. Unless I have a sudden craving for a Guiness I don't think I'll be back. We went on a Sunday evening and there were about 15 people in the place, almost all of them at the bar. The waitress did seat us promptly, and the drinks came along fairly quickly. I ordered a salad (as an appetizer) the the pulled shortrib sandwich, and my wife ordered a shepards pie. The salad came without any significant delay, though oddly, the ceasar salad came with the dressing on the side even though I did not order it that way. Last time I came it was premixed instead of do it yourself. Then after a wait of probably over 30 minutes our main courses arrived. Given that only two people came it while after we ordered, you'd think the kitchen might be a little snappier. During the ordering process, I thought I had been clear that I wanted french fries. To my surprise, the sandwich arrived with green beans. Now the waitress did volunteer to take it back, but I decided I was not up for another long delay. The beans were grilled and would not have been bad if they had had a LOT less salt on them - maybe they thought they were actually french fries and wanted to salt the hell out of them. My wife reported that the shephards pie was just OK. The mashed potatoes layer on top looked a bit thick to my taste. We opted not for dessert and the waitress did deliver the check fairly promptly, then we had another very long wait to actually pay the bill. I think I could easily eaten across the street at Acapulcos twice in the time it took here tonight. Seriously, they really need to take a shot at improving the service here. read more

First time take out and everything was excellent. The rub on the wings is so good and the dipping sauce is yummy. We loved it.

This was our second attempt. We're a married couple in our mid 30's. I'm going to keep this short. If you're looking for great food, go here. If you're looking for atmosphere, alcohol variety, or service, pass. You can literally throw a rock at Dean College from the front door and yet they don't have Sunday brunch and booze, football appy hour, or an inviting atmosphere for fun. It's always dead. It's a shame because it's in a great location. read more

Where to start? We won't be back. The lack of patrons in the dining room should have been a clue. But this was our attempt to be adventurous. If l could give this place half a star, I would. Our experience. We walked in and Sat at the bar. Some overserved, drunk asshat would not take a hint and leave us alone. I wanted to get a table just to escape his drunken friendly ramblings. (My God, protect your patrons. Oh yeah. And over serving is ILLEGAL. I don't think this place will be in business much longer.). On the plus side. The Brussels sprouts app was effing amazing. Holy cow, delicious. Also on the plus side, great craft beer. (Wormtown Be Hoppy.) And generous pours on the wine. Now, for the bad. This drunk "guest" honestly tried to mooch food off our plate. He thought l was buying him a drink instead of my husband. I was relieved when his buddy showed up however, this did not stop him from trying to talk to us. (I was on a date.) On the negative side (because, a bar cannot be held responsible for the stupidity of the guest... well, except for over serving. I ordered phish (That's how it is spelled on the menu) tacos. I was trying to be healthy by having them grilled, not fried. They baked them for me. Unfortunately, they also came out literally COLD. As in brrrrrr. Did l order a sushi taco? Bangers and mash were....literally breakfast links. Ok, the mash potatoes and onion gravy were delicious. This means they have the ability to cook, they just chose not to do so. Let that sink in, bangers = breakfast links. How dare they? Hubby wanted and egg on top and to call it Hangover Breakfast. Bottom line. Stop in for a drink. Avoid the food. Or order a double side of mash and gravy or the Brussels sprouts app. Or better yet, stay home and order pizza. It is what I wish we did. read more

BLOOD EVERYWHERE: Honestly I don't know where I can start. A kid cut his hand open while intoxicated obviously. I didn't care about that part but then the blood was spraying around the bar and the bar stools and I asked the bar tenders to clean it up and they ended up giving him towels that he cleaned his blood up with and then continued wiping his blood all over the bar. I asked the bartenders what was going on and then she mocked me by saying I was a "pussy". The man who was bleeding did not get kicked out and continued to sit by the bar. I ended up getting blood all over my vest and my hand. I tried telling the staff how unsanitary it was and they could care less and continued to serve the man who was bleeding over everybody. For an establishment that sells high quality "Irish cuisine" I would never eat it if I were you. If they don't care about blood being all over their bar.... imagine the care they put into their food. DISGUSTING. I couldn't emphasize it more. The service backed a man up who slapped the empty glasses out of the live entertainment's hand after a great performance. I can't say I've ever had such a rude waitress. Usually if you get somebody else's blood on you the staff will do anything they can to help out and she sat there and called me a "pussy" Never go to this place its absolutely horrible. It seems like im going on a rant but trust me it's totally valid. These people don't care about their customers or the health and safety regulations they violate on a daily basis read more

Food, drinks and service is amazing here, 3 stars only because there hours are never consistent. When you drive 30 mins to come here it's truly disheartening to show up and they aren't opening when they claim they are. read more

I'm a pretty tough critic but this place knocked my socks off. Let's get down to the nitty gritty. I arrived around 8 pm and nearly every table was filled. Every person had a smile on their face and the uplifting, euphoric atmosphere was almost tangible. So atmosphere = amaze-balls. Speaking of balls, let's talk about a hidden gem of a menu item. The Teddy Bleu Balls are to die for. Order these and savor every bite because before you know it, they'll be gone and out of your life. But you'll need something to wash down the sweet tasty nectar that is the Blue Ball appetizer. Teddy's lemonade is as refreshing as it is delightful. As soon as the liquid touched my lips I was transported into another dimension filled with long lost friends and family. Very rare is it to find a drink that can defy space and time while being something as simple as a lemonade. Undoubtedly, after trying the aforementioned items, you'll want to explore the menu. This is dangerous. My friend explored the menu...hasn't left the restaurant since. He just keeps ordering and ordering. Billy, if you are reading this. Go home, man. Your family misses you. Your wife misses you. But let's talk about the Rueben Sandwich. So good. Fantastic even. Hand shaved meat that must be massaged prior to being put on the bread. Absolutely Legendary. I'm going back in a few weeks. I'll see if they can make my toes curl like they did the first time. read more

Clean and friendly environment! Great music playing in the background and Great conversations with Diana the bartender.

I came here with a colleague. These Irish Pubs seem to have the best Rueben Sandwiches - so I gave it a try for lunch. It's a cool little spot. Their prices were decent, they were quick and friendly. Their Rueben Sandwich was a little neat for me. I like it messy, but was quickly served another cup of 1,000 island dressing to accommodate my messiness. I appreciate this simple places that serve good quality food, with friendly service with a fair price. read more

I have been there a few times and enjoyed the food, cleanliness, and atmosphere. We decided to have our company Christmas Party there and it was awesome! The owners worked with us on the menu and timing of the event. It was perfect. Not too loud and the service for the food and drink was very professional! The food was delicious! If you can believe it SANTA arrived and then we had Irish step dancers. The Gallagher family work really hard to please their customers and we appreciated their efforts . A complete success ! read more

Great bourbon glazed steak tips. OUTSTANDING mashed potatoes! Cute place, small, friendly atmosphere, met the owner who was warm and welcoming, pleasant staff. Just improve the service and you will have a gold mine here. We sat at the bar (the owner knows they need more hooks for ladies' handbags :)), approximately 6:30p on a Friday night. The bar was not full nor the restaurant, however we were glad to see a steady flow of patrons coming and going throughout the evening. The bartenders did not readily come over for our drink order despite it not being busy. When they did, they were pleasant, but you needed to ask for: a drink, menus, water, another drink, the check. They never checked-in on our meal which is unfortunate since it was wonderful (especially the mashed potatoes!). Rather, they just stayed at one end of the bar, no eye contact. I understand they the establishment is relatively new and respecting that this is a new venture for the owners, kudos! I couldn't do it. Just speak with your staff about a few improvements on the service and I expect that you will be around for a long time. Live music came on at 9p which sounded good and not acoustically overpowering for the environment. Wish we could have stayed. All in all, a good place, you should try and looking forward to going back. read more

What a great find! I've been jogging past here for over a year and finally got to stop in. Monstrous turkey club, super fresh rueben, huge mound of fries. The corned beef seemed really fresh, not that sliced deli meat most places slap between the bread. Can't wait to go back and try the traditional shepherd's pie because they use lamb (hamburg is the american style and that is just not right). We'll be back soon! read more

I've never had a worst bartender in my life, the blonde 40 year old something woman was extremely rude and the owner was standing right there and didn't do anything about it. The food was subpar at best. Also, my boyfriend got a beer and he said it tasted flat and skunked so their beer tap lines must have been moldy. Definitely don't recommend going here. I would probably say it was one of the worst experiences I've had at a restaurant. read more

I was excited when I saw an Irish Pub going into downtown Franklin. Excellent location but the positives mostly ended there. Went on a Saturday night at about 8:50. It was busy but there was a table available upon our arrival. We were immediately told the kitchen was only serving apps. You're a new restaurant trying to make your mark in your first month and you're basically telling people we don't care if you get what you want when you come here. This was less than awesome especially considering the appetizer menu isn't exactly extensive or descriptive for that matter, what's a Dave's Blue Ball or a Pork Bomb? I'm happy you're so amused with your naming prowess but a description would be nice. Went with the Irish Nachos and Maple Glazed Pork Bombs and a couple beers. Beer list was uninspiring. Went with the Revolution Anti-Hero IPA. There are few things more disappointing than mediocre beer in a hot glass when you're really looking forward to a cold pint. That was the case here. Beer # 2 was frosty so maybe this was an oversight. Food was a mixed bag. The Pork Bombs were delicious but how do you screw up deep fried pork ribs doused in maple syrup? The Irish Nachos were the big loser. Luke warm frozen waffle fries drowned in equally tempered clumpy cheese sauce, minimal bacon and a couple inch long bits of scallion. Exactly who is working in your kitchen that doesn't understand how to chop scallions? Probably won't be returning unless I see the beer list, service, and food seriously improve. read more

I'm like a low key regular here. I always recommend this place to my friends, classmates and family that stop in town and are looking for a bar to grab a few drinks. Friendly staff, reasonably priced drinks, themed nights. I've meet the owners and they are extremely nice people. Give it a try you won't be disappointed. The foods good as well! read more

I like this place and hope it survives it's location. Traditional Irish fare is good, but I wish they would expand the menu to give you more options. Can be a bit loud with the high ceilings. read more

We walked in to only patrons at the bar on a Friday night. Always makes me wonder when a restaurant is not busy on a weekend night. I thought it smelled funny in there. But we sat down because we were hungry. We took a high top in the bar. The bar patrons were very rowdy and the music got turned up way too loud. I really started to worry. But we were hungry and our waiter was nice. We ordered two beers, meatloaf and a reuben sandwich. My Blue Moon was served with a microscopic orange wedge. Made us roll our eyes. Could they spare it. More bad feelings. But then the food came. The food was fantastic. We were relieved. Corned beef was so tender and juicy. The fries were big and crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. My boyfriend said the best he had ever had. My reuben was one of the best I ever had. Too bad about the atmosphere. read more

food is pretty good, with good Irish fair. I've always found the service good. I agree with the comment of good music playing.

Terrible experience unless you are drunk along with the Bartenders. Clearly on a Saturday night this is where both the male and Female bartenders' friends go to hang out with them. We were greeted quickly buy Jenny/Jenna/Jenn (said her name so fast and not looking at us)we thought that was a good start, but that was the only good thing.The guy was too busy talking with his fiends and the girl bartender was to busy looking at her phone or leaving the bar. It must be known this duo is known for over serving because the quests were visibly intoxicated. Very disappointing to watch the kitchen staff come out and sit at the bar and partake in this behavior. If this is happening in the open I can only wonder what they do in the back. read more

Found this gem on yelp!! We stoped in to watch the patriots game and have a snack !! Pleasant bartender Abby gave us great suggestions on appetizers to order and we loved everything!! Corn beef egg rolls amazing!! Loaded waffle fries and buffalo chicken dip so good !! Pumpkin beer with a sugar rim delicious!! Abby told us about a farmers market up the road that had apples cider donuts so we took a ride there and loved the farm it was beautiful and the donuts were amazing!! Going back to visit again real soon read more
