RFD Franklin Event Center Reviews
Went there tonight and will be back. Very friendly and courteous.
Outstanding experience. The story of this wonderful restaurant is awesome, and the owner/host is just as charming as her establishment. The Seafood Pasta was perfect. It's not often you have these flavors and fresh ingredients.
Do yourself a favor and stop in for lunch or dinner! You will not be disappointed.

RFD Franklin is an intriguing restaurant located in a charming old post office building, offering a unique dining experience. The setting is praised for its historic character and Hoosier charm, though the restaurant's execution is more uneven.
The menu features a mix of dishes, from the surprisingly spicy "diablo chicken pasta" to the sweeter-than-expected deviled eggs. While the steak and pork chop dishes seem to be well-received, other items like the Caesar salad and pasta fall short, lacking key ingredients or flavors. The service is described as generally acceptable, though with a slightly off-putting demeanor at times.
Overall, RFD Franklin provides an interesting atmosphere, but the food quality and consistency appear to be hit-or-miss. Customers suggest sticking to the steak or pork chop if visiting, as these seem to be the restaurant's stronger offerings. Despite some shortcomings, RFD Franklin remains an intriguing dining option for those seeking a taste of history and a unique dining experience. The venue is also popular for events, with staff going above and beyond to ensure success. The space is beautiful and filled with history, offering plenty of room for mingling, eating, and making memories. The location is convenient in the heart of Franklin, though parking can be limited, requiring some walking. If planning a reunion, wedding, or special gathering, RFD Franklin is recommended for its charming setting and dedicated staff that make celebrations memorable.
