    Grilled Bagel with Cream Cheese and kielbasa
    Bridget L.

    I'm sticking with 4. It's small and homey place. The waitress are always moving, taking orders, delivering food, but always making sure all customers are happy and not in need. The burgers are large, they actually fit the bun, I prefer naked fries, but these were tossed I. A but I'd flour, to give them crunch I'd guess, they were pretty good. The place is clean, the service is quick and the food is good, finding parking can be a problem though.

    Found ourselves in Franklin in need of dinner and a beer and the shed checked the boxes. It's…read morelocated in a plaza with other restaurants and a supermarket so it was easy to find and there was plenty of parking. We walked in and were immediately greeted by a couple of chipper teenage hostesses and we were even able to pick our table. Our server seemed a little off at first but he warmed up after a little banter; perhaps he was just feeling us out. Beer menu was great but did not necessarily contain anything rare. I had a foam ipa and a stout from dorchester brewing to follow. I had the smash burger. It seemed like a true smash as it was crispy on the outside and had the right amount of grease. The house made chips were a nice addition as I'm not a huge French fry fan. My wife had the fig and prosciutto flatbread and she liked it. The fig paste was tasty, arugula was fresh and there was even some cheese pull. Overall, it was a nice visit and I wouldn't hesitate to go back based on how this visit went.

    Really disappointing experience at The Shed in Franklin…read more This place used to be pretty good, which makes the decline even more noticeable. We went on a Saturday night and the restaurant was surprisingly empty, yet the service still moved at an absolute snail's pace. With so few customers, there really was no reason for everything to take as long as it did. Unfortunately, the food did not make up for the wait. The potstickers were particularly bad, and I felt ill the following day after eating them. The rest of the meal including the BBQ quesadilla and fries was mediocre at best and nowhere near the quality I remember from previous visits. The prices make the experience even harder to justify. If you are charging these prices, the food and service need to deliver, and neither did. I'm not sure what happened to The Shed, because I remember this being a solid local restaurant. Based on this visit, it has gone significantly downhill. Slow service, mediocre food, disappointing quality, and simply not worth the price. Really unfortunate because we used to enjoy coming here.
