50 Best American Restaurants near Franklin

“Jimbo's dinner is well worth your visit. If you value high quality food and food prep processing (their home fries are to die for!) you will not be disappointed. The Hungry Lumberjack breakfast is my favorite. If you pay close attention to the food you will be enjoying you'll understand my review. Don't miss out on an opportunity to be blissfully surprised :)“

“Found by accident, amazing food - best I’ve had so far on our trip to New England, heartily recommend“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Dining Experience From the very first moment we stepped into 3, we knew the night was going to be special. We were immediately welcomed by the manager, Elyse, whose professionalism, warmth, and genuine hospitality set the tone for the entire evening. The atmosphere was inviting, comfortable, and perfectly balanced between upscale and relaxed—and the staff mirrored that energy from start to finish. Our service was truly outstanding: friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and always pleasant. Every question we had was answered with confidence, and the recommendations were spot-on. You could tell the staff genuinely cared about creating an exceptional experience. The evening began with perfectly crafted and beautifully presented martinis, followed by warm, flavorful focaccia bread that immediately set the stage for what was to come. The calamari appetizer was incredibly fresh, tender, and packed with flavor, and the charcuterie board was both visually stunning and deliciously curated. The entrees were nothing short of amazing. The ribeye was cooked to absolute perfection—melt-in-your-mouth tender and bursting with flavor. The pesto tortellini was rich, creamy, and indulgent, with every bite leaving us wanting more. What started as a simple date night turned into an experience we couldn’t stop talking about—and one we can’t wait to repeat. If you’re looking for incredible food, exceptional service, and a truly memorable night out, look no further. We’ll absolutely be back again very soon. Highly recommend. 🍸🥩✨“

“Having been to this location years ago, I expected pretty much the same. We had lunch this week and it was pretty good.

We were a group of three and were greeted and seated immediately. I ordered the coconut shrimp and it was delicious. It came with a fresh pineapple chutney and the size of each shrimp and amount was perfect. The other two ordered a flatbread quesadilla and cauliflower tacos. Everyone was happy, but they each tried my shrimp and immediately went wow.

An extremely professional and nice waiter Jason went above and beyond to make sure everything was good. He deserves recognition in this review because it’s so rare these days. It’s not just the food that make people want to return to a restaurant, it’s also the way you’re greeted and treated. A+“

If you’re looking for a wonderful Irish pub in Franklin with authentic charm and fantastic food, Teddy Gallagher’s is a must-visit. Highly recommend!“

“We had a highly positive experience at the Longhorn in Franklin Massachusetts. Our server, Nick, demonstrated exceptional professionalism and a welcoming demeanor. Michael, the Manager, consistently provided outstanding leadership and service. The overall service was both courteous and efficient. We anticipate a return visit, and we were thoroughly impressed with the quality of the cuisine. Your team's performance is commendable. Thank you 😊 💯💯❤“

“Bartenders are great, everyone is friendly.“

“I recently placed a large order (14 pizzas, plus salad) for our monthly work meeting. I can't say enough good things about the awesome customer service, and the quality of the food! Everything was hot and delicious. They have a great selection of your standard pizza shop varieties, but also offer some interesting and unusual offerings. I highly recommend the 'Don't be an Ah-so'! I will definitely be ordering from The Corner Market again!“

“Great food and AWESOME service. Gina - thank you for best service - you absolutely make the best cappuccino 🩷“

“Amazing how food! Great atmosphere! Friendly staff!“

“100% recommend! My new go to!“

“Had a delicious dinner last night at Avenue and wish we had checked it out sooner. Amazing wine and cocktail. Tried the Brie appetizer and Avenue Flatbread, which were both delicious and unique! Spiro, our server, was so attentive and knowledgeable. Service was excellent! Wish we had room for dessert bc that also sounded great but I guess we just have to go back soon“

“pot roast was great. service was great“

“I frequent this deli as the ones in my town are not that great. It helps that my son loves Superette sandwiches and subs. The turkey Fitzgerald is a classic and their bread and meats are always fresh. Also a plaid we can get Framingham Baking Pizza without having to go all the way to Framingham. Probably go back every 2 weeks.“

“Last week we had a rehearsal dinner in the banquet room. The room was ready for us upon arrival and we were greeted by the friendly staff. We had a buffet dinner that was excellent and the trays were replenished often. The staff was outstanding getting our drinks out in a timely manner and checking in often. Requests made throughout the night were handled right away. I would high recommend having your next event at this venue.

“We hosted our daughter’s bridal shower here and are so glad we chose it. The food was great / the atmosphere was great and Linda was amazing! Thank you for helping everything go smooth! Would recommend for a function“

“Drinks and burgers were delicious; however waited 45 minutes to be seated on a Saturday night (which is fine!). Menu states that on busy times you may be limited to 90 minute dining. At an hour in, the host sat another large party who was expecting our table. We still had drinks to finish but felt uncomfortable as people were smooshed on the bench discussing when we left they’d be able to spread out.“

“We tried the Horse recently. Courteous staff, nice menu selections. Great food. We will be back“

“They catered a family reunion at my home last weekend. My family is Gujarati and this restaurant just hit it out of the park!!! Every esoteric Gujarati dish was a hit. We did puri, patra, mango ras, pulao, kadhi. Just outstanding! My family was raving about the food. The service and Anil’s responsiveness was on point. This place is run by true professionals!!!“

“Stopped by for lunch…I ordered the chicken tender basket which came with fries and onion rings for $15. The chicken tenders were hand-battered and delicious! Generous portion for a reasonable price! Will come back when I’m in the Hopkinton area!“

“Best bar in Attleboro Falls.“

“Sat at the bar and that bartender was movin'!!! She was slammed with not only the bar patrons, but also service bar and still managed to provide fantastic service.
After recently discovering Mashed Potato pizza's I was anxious to try one at a place that specializes in bar pizza, but I was left underwhelmed. It was good, but the potatoes could have been seasoned a tad more to provide a bit more flavor. Otherwise, it was a fantastic stop!“

“Best roast beef anywhere around“

“The frozen meatballs were reheated to perfection, finally some authentic Italian in Wrentham 🥰“

“I had the pleasure of attending a reception here. The food was excellent, the team is super friendly and their hospitality is unmatched! Highly recommend this fine establishment!“

“Always great food, cooked to order, no microwaves! My all time favorite is their flagship sandwich, “The Commonwealth.” Piled high with freshly pulled pork, some pieces bigger than others, some with the delicious bark that defines great smoked pork. I love the optional cranberry habanero sauce on the side. Considering the sandwich has over a pound of pulled pork, plus a side ( I traditionally get fries, my wife likes the creamy Mac and cheese), not a bad deal for under $13 with tax.“

“Food is delicious, quick service, nice ambiance/relaxing atmosphere“

“If your looking for an all around fantastic experience than Stone Ridge Grill and Bar in Plainville ma is the bullseye u want to hit ..From the food , the atmosphere ,and service. We had the Baked Haddock , it was a treat .Large servings .Go there for dinner and stop by Plainridge casino , hit the slots with friends and call it an incredible night . Cheers.“

“I ordered a small order of nachos and asked for no hot peppers and not sauce drizzled on the top
I asked instead of the drizzle to have sour cream
I was given a small container of sour cream
When the bill arrived I was charged a ridiculous price of $2.50
I am absolutely flawed that I was charged this ridiculous price
I am absolutely beside myself for having to deal with stupidity“

“that is very rude oh so now u are bringing up the elder people Dylan G and u are saying there is food in the food the resan i am being rude is because u are being rude“

“Delicious food! Everything was perfect! Highest compliments to the Chef!“

“I had an event this weekend for 50 people and James’ catered the food. It was a brunch, that included pastries, muffins, fruit, sandwiches, and quiches. The food was outstanding!!!!! James helped me plan the menu, he was accommodating, and everything was exactly as promised. The cost was extremely reasonable. I strongly recommend James’ without hesitation if you needed a caterer!!!! Thank you James, well done!!!!!“

“This is the best place to stay! Very nice, huge pool, huge convention space, lovely staffs! I love!“

“Great Service and Food 🥰🥰“

“I had the half rack of pork ribs with the best mac and cheese with red potato salad and a good selection of sauces. She had the turkey sandwich, not roasted. More like deli turkey. Her fries were good too. No corn bread or collard greens available though. The crew was Very nice. Price is average. We go back now and then. 4 stars of 5. Like I said; no collard greens or corn bread. 😞 It's a small place, so you can't have everything. Still very good.“

“We LOVE Kravings!! There is always something for each member of our family to enjoy when we go there for dinner. The owners are amazing and so is their ice cream. Definitely recommend 100%“

“My husband and I went to Applebee's in No. Attleboro, MA on 8/18. Donna was our server and she was quick to wait on us, get our order in and attentive to our needs for dinner. She was very personable and I would ask for her next time I go to this Applebee's.“

“That was a sweetheart thing that was done for me when one of the waitresses did for me when my blood sugar was too low and I was offered a breakfast as that waitress offered to pay for it as I felt awful and cheap. I want to know if the menu has sweet potato benedict on the menu as they all should it is so much healthier for all of us! I can't up load my picture but could wish all waitresses all a very Happy Easter as He is Risen!“

“Our first time here and what an amazing surprise, this place is not just good, it's fantastic! Salmon was top notch, dessert was incredible, coffee amazing and drinks, out of this world. and our server Christine was as amazing as the food, what an amazing experience, we will definitely be back, and regularly!!“

“I had such a great experience at Tailwind Tavern! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a perfect mix of cozy and modern. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcomed. The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful and the drink selection was impressive as well, with a solid variety of options. Tailwind Tavern is one of those places you’ll want to come back to. Highly recommend!“

“A Double Cheeseburger that melts in your mouth!😋😋“
