Bars near Franklin Grove

“Went for the first time for lunch. Bartender/waitress was right on top of getting us menus, drinks, order, food and our bill. We had gotten a cheeseburger and the Franklin chicken tenders. Everything was really good. Will definitely go back.“

“Mark and his team are excellent. These guys really know what they are doing. The shop is large, nice and clean. They work on just about everything, bmw, Audi, Porsche also your everyday ford Chevy Chrysler. Everyone in the shop are very nice and approachable, definitely people that you can grab a beer with. If you usually go to the dealership, you have found your alternative! I give this facility 5 stars. Highly recommended to friends and family no matter what car you have or what problem is going on. Mark and his team can certainly take care of it, it seems like these guys have been there forever, so that's gotta count for something, right? But don't get me wrong, the place looks brand new. Definitely looks like they went through some major renovations. A+ shop!“

“We dropped in for dinner on a lark - we were looking for someplace new. This place is a few blocks off of Rt 38 in Downtown Ashton. It's a bar-restaurant, and that is how it basically works in many small towns. The walls are adorned with a ton of historic photos and articles - if you haven't been here, try to sit at a table near the wall, so you can soak up some of this ambiance. We were promptly greeted (seat yourself) and provided with menus. They had a rib eye special and a New York Strip special, in addition to some reasonably priced dinners. My wife had their fried shrimp dinner with a baked potato, while I had their New York Strip special ($10) with a baked potato. If you order dinner, you get their salad bar, which is small. With that said, it's full of fresh stuff, and the pasta salad was really, really tasty. I almost went back for seconds. Dinner arrived - the shrimp got my wife's seal of approval, and the baked potatoes were properly baked and done, which I appreciated. You can get butter and or sour cream - I had both. The steak was done as ordered - medium rare. It was a typical New York Strip - a decent cut. It tasted okay, and needed some salt. The bar is a full bar - I had a Samuel Adams Summer Shandy, which went down well. This is a nice, quiet place. It was starting to get busy around 6:30 when we were leaving on a Saturday night.“

“We stopped in for Tenderloin Tuesday after hearing about this place in one of the pork tenderloin groups. I have to say it was delicious! I got a half sandwich, while the men with me got the full. It was crispy, crunchy and extremely flavorful. I like mine with lettuce and mayo, which they happily made that way. It was empty when we got there at 11:15 but by noon, the whole place was packed. Would definitely recommend stopping in if you're ever in the area!“
