Noisy and slow. We spent two hours here and only saw the waitress 4 times. Waited for 45 min to place our order and another 45 to get the food. This is a restaurant for children, an upscale chuckie cheese without the games.

This is a delightful little brewpub with GREAT food. The crab dip is always a good idea, but you just can't go wrong. I've always had fantastic service and it's never a long wait for food.
Vegetarian options: They have a few options, but the stand out is their house-made black bean burger which is quite exquisite.
Always a good place with good food and service. Don’t forget to check out the General Store for some interesting gifts and novelties.

Visited Franklin's for the first time on the recommendation of my sister, who lives in Cheverly. I was pleasantly surprised. The menu had a variety of choices, and the food quality was very, very good. The atmosphere was welcoming, the service was friendly, and the prices were reasonable. I would recommend Franklin's to anyone, and I will be returning the next time I visit my sister. As for the four star rating, I only give five stars to the highest end restaurants, so consider this a strong recommendation.

Food was decent. Took roughly an hr to get though. Ran short on time to enjoy because we had to get boxes as I had only put 2 hrs in the parking lot machine. Likely won't go again unless it's to try one of their burgers

Memory lane. I lived in the DMV in the latter half of the 2010s until the pandemic. I had a shrimp creole/jambalaya (must have been limited/seasonal) dish with a lemon drop and it made me smile with content.

It's not fancy, but the food is consistently good, well presented and a decent value. Service is also good. It's never going to get a Michelin star, or create the next "cronut". But it's a locally owned, comfortable and reliable place to spend a slow afternoon with family or friends.
Parking: City run parking lot next to building. Inexpensive (50 cents/hour I think) and Includes free EV charging. Free parking on Sundays.
Kid-friendliness: Kids menu, kids cups, coloring menu and a staff that knows how to deal with kids. The attached store includes a large toy section. Store prices aren't as good as Amazon but then again I've never seen the staff peeing in bottles like Amazon.
Delicious food. If you are in the mood for a great burger or sandwich, you can't go wrong. The entrees are also great. The only problem is that the portions are healthy, so I didn't have room to try a dessert. I will be back to try some soon.

Worst crab dip I have ever had. It was full of onions. Just tasted like onions. Never in my life have I had crab dip with onions. Not the little green ones they sprinkled on top but big chunks of white or yellow onions in the dip. Can't be picked out. Gotta go and brush my teeth to get the taste out of my mouth. Nothing in the description mentioned onions. Maryland Crab Dip | Blue Crab, Sherry, Cajun Spice, Cheddar Cheese, and Tortilla Chips for Dipping 23.
Outstanding food & service !
