Franklins

Popped in for a couple beers and a few appetizers to celebrate digging ourselves out of the 2026 winter tundra that buried us this past week. Was definitely looking forward to trying their new beer flavor Franconian. Franklins can brew some good beer!!! Not even a question. The apps are amazing. I ordered the crab dip with a side of fries, way better than the chips. My wife grabbed the lamb sliders with a side of fries. The appetizers are flavored well and seasoned properly, it’s when you move towards the mains when the seasoning leaves the room. I ordered the brunch yakamein sight unseen and all I could ask myself is why. Nothing about this says yakamein unfortunately. I wish I ordered a pizza instead. If this is your first visit here please make sure you ask for the condiments on the tab

This is a good, solid local eatery. They have a variety of American fare dishes, I’ve probably experienced half the menu over the years, with a 90% satisfaction rate. 🍽️ Always happy with the salmon, and an extra side of corn pudding. The burgers are usually pretty decent, fish & chips, pulled pork, flat iron steak, mussels, and the pizza is fine. I’ve had the fried chicken when it was good and also when it was just okay. There’s a brewery. The attached General Store & Toy Store is always fun. The bar, restroom and about half the indoor seating is up a couple flights of stairs which can make it challenging for guests with mobility issues or babies, just fyi. There is a restroom downstairs in the general store, if it’s open during your visit. 🚙 There is attached parking, and additional pa

I've ordered to-go from here 3x before. I finally got the chance to sit in and the service and food was good. I love that everyone in the art district raves about this place. It's like a staple. The burgers are good and the crab pretzel has an oniony taste but surprisingly, I liked it.

Casual neighborhood restaurant attached to a super cool general store with an assortment of nice gifts, tchotchkes, toys, and wine. The restaurant/brewery was large with two levels. We were seated on the upper level and there was a single bartender that had a full bar and all of the tables in the upstairs dining room. We waited for an extended period of time for the bartender to come over to take our order. We noticed that the other guests in the upstairs dining area also had to wait for service as the bartender was busy with the guests at the bar. There definitely needed to be one more server or bartender up there! Luckily the food was fantastic.

Had the fish and chips, I was a little disappointed it wasn’t as crispy as I thought it would end up being. Asked the waitress for more tarter and never got it, they don’t have condiments on the table. Beer was wonderful though.
