You do have to make sure you get a reservation, which can be tricky but if you do it's worth it. There is a time limit on the reservation, but there's plenty of time for you to enjoy a couple drinks and take in the atmosphere. It's a really small spot, but the vibes are strong. They give you popcorn to munch on while you sip your drinks and the noise of the upstairs is completely drowned out. I highly recommend checking this place out.

The bar has a historic nostalgic feel to it and no one under 21 is allowed in. I really enjoyed the staff. They were friendly, welcoming and helpful. You will find a small dining area with a bar with seating inside. The dining area booths are reserved for parties of two or more. So, I ended up sitting at the bar. They do have a digital juke box that had music playing throughout the bar. There are also televisions above the bar to watch. The bar has a limited menu, that includes tenderloin, salad, grilled cheese, chicken tenders, and poppers. But all you need to know is that they are known for their burgers. So, I ordered a burger with fries. It was prepared fresh and took about 15 minutes to have ready. The fries were good and the burger was juicy, tasty and delicious. It definitely lived up to the hype. Being that it is a bar, they have the full spectrum of adults drinks and also have a wide assortment beer and signature cocktails. This place is definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.

A little pricey, kept me from drinking too many--which was a good thing. Ordered the smoked old fashioned. Always a great presentation although the smoke caught my throat off guard, and nearly hacked up a lung. Service was great! Never had to want for anything, someone always visited the table. We ordered the jalapeno mac and cheese bites--those were my favorite! And since I'm a truffle fan--I ordered the ham and truffle sliders. But this was the only thing I didn't enjoy. A toasted ham sandwich with garlic aoli, and a very sweet jam. The flavors did not go together at all! But despite that, we had a wonderful time with our friends and I would definitely recommend going!

They had the door open, which was letting in the fresh almost-spring air.) Drinks are pretty much all they have at Snug, to be honest. Don't visit thinking you're going to find a meal, because they don't have a lot of food beyond locally made hand pies and empanadas, a grazing board, and something called Snug Nuts. (Which brings to mind certain ... images.) I didn't get any food, just a Road & Coke, which is a whiskey with a Coke and lime, similar to a Cuba libre, although a Cuba uses rum. It was delicious, but a little light on the booze. It was only $5 and change, though, so it's kind of like what do you expect, really. It was a nice drink to sip slowly while I sat in the small, cozy bar. Speaking of bar aesthetics: Snug lives up to its name. It's tiny and dark but inviting. It feels like stepping into a hug. A hug that can also provide you with copious amounts of Irish whiskey, which sounds like the best kind of hug, to me.

The space is cozy with large windows and garage doors- similar vibe to its former days as West Fork Whiskey. Why only three stars? The woman taking orders was painfully unfriendly. Even in my attempts to ask questions and engage, it felt like I was bothering her to place an order. It's a shame because the drip coffee was delightful and I appreciated their high top bar with outlets. I'm a big believer that coffee shops are 50% about coffee and 50% about the experience/feeling of community. I'll visit again and hope for a more warm experience next time.

Since, it had recently changed its menu, we thought it a good time to try out the new menu. We each started with an Aperol spritz, together with freshly baked focaccia with a lovely EVOO. We then shared as a primi the strawberry and burrata salad with arugula, pistachios and a balsamic vinagrette. Unlike some other places, the burrata really was burrata and delicious. It was perfectly accompanied by the strawberries and the balsamic. For our mains, one of our group ordered the seared branzino. Its skin was crispy and the fish inside perfectly cooked, not dried out as sometimes happens in other restaurants. Fortunately, I was given a taste and it was outstanding. For the other mains, we ordered the duck breast. We were given a choice of temperatures for the duck. The chef suggested medium. We wisely took the chef's suggestion and the duck breasts came out perfectly cooked and delectable. It was accompanied by roasted Brussels sprouts, blackberries, a corn veloute and a red wine demi. I would order this dish again in a New York minute. Throughout, we were ably aided by our server, Chelsea. She was terrific and if things got a little backed up, the floor manager stepped in and kept it moving. Finally, we had a decaf affogato for dessert. The gelato was tasty and even the decaf espresso was delightful. In short, we were presented with excellent food expertly served. Will we come back? You bet.

Ann's has been in my radar for years. The little cafe off the Square is always packed with locals…read more Ann's claims to be the oldest restaurant in Franklin, opening in 1952. The cafe is now owned by Diane, Ann's daughter. The tables are packed tightly together, but we were happy to get the last seats in the house. Nostalgic photos of Franklin cover the walls. The place is loud but with a great positive energy. People are small-town friendly and talk between tables as they enjoy their biscuits and gravy. We cajoled with two regulars who told funny stories. Our server, Gill, was quick to the table and friendly. He checked on us several times to see if we needed anything. The menu is a mix of traditional breakfast options, sandwiches, salads and wraps. Prices are reasonable. Food came out quickly. My husband ordered their hand breaded tenderloin with fries. The tenderloin was massive with a great browned breading, served on a Kaiser roll. The pork was tender and juicy. It was a perfect tenderloin, worthy of the Indiana Tenderloin Trail. The hand-cut fries are lightly breaded, crispy and hot. There was an up-charge for the fries, but they were so good and worth it. It was rainy outside, so I had a bowl of the daily soup - broccoli cheddar. The soup was hot, thick, creamy with lots of broccoli and cheese and stuck to my ribs. My soup was served with packs of saltines. Free street parking is available if you're lucky to grab a spot. Well worth the drive to Franklin. Ps. They are closed Saturday and Sunday!
