12 Best American Restaurants in Franklin

“Had another great lunch today. Even with the chaos of Pumpkin Fest in town the hostess was polite and organized. Our server was Mama..she is a gem. Food was delicious“

“Breakfast was perfect. The waiter was friendly and prompt. The cook/manager cooked the perfect over medium eggs I've had in a long time. I got a country ham ranch platter. The country ham was also perfect. Coffee fresh. Bathrooms clean, stocked and smelled good.“

“This is my go-to restaurant. I would say probably my favorite in Franklin. The people are always friendly, the food is always good.. it's a good value and there's always enough to take home for a second meal.“

“We had a lovely dinner on a Sunday evening. Try the fried avocado slices with lime cilantro aioli. They are phenomenal. Best appetizer I’ve enjoyed in some time. The chicken was also quite fabulous. Happily surprised and looking forward to returning!“

“Went tonight first time in a while thought we'd give it another try. My husband ordered the seafood buffet he said it was fine. I waited and waited on a waitress to bring me a menu. Flag down the hostess who told the waitress I was waiting, she passed our table twice and gave me I'll be right back. When she finally came back I placed the order.. simple chicken tenders. My husband was finished with two plates and ready to go home before they ever brought my food and this was after I told the waitress just cancel. The cashier was nice she asked me about my food I said I have no idea I'm taking it home since my husband is finished. She called the manager up. The manager said oh let me give you a discount. a grand total of $1.50 off of a $41 ticket. big deal. We won't be going back“

“Absolutely everything! Worth every penny spent, and prices are great for the quality of food! There was not one bad thing to hit our table! The wings, fried mac n cheese bites, tavern burger, etc. So delicious! Highly recommend visiting if you aren't local!“

“it's a fantastic place and the vibes are all there, I sing there sometimes and the dj is great. The regular staff are very kind to me and I would most definitely recommend you to go there“

“Stopped in at 6am, 18 Sep 2021 for breakfast on the way to the river to do some fly fishing. Awesome breakfast.“

“In a world of endless dining options, it’s rare to encounter a restaurant that feels like a quiet revelation—one that doesn’t shout its excellence but simply delivers it, course after course, with such precision and grace that you leave wishing that you’d found this gem sooner. The food itself is the quiet star. Each dish arrives as a small masterpiece of balance—flavors layered with intention, textures that surprise without gimmickry. In short, this is one of the very best restaurants I’ve ever visited—anywhere. It doesn’t chase trends or demand attention; it earns it through quiet excellence. If you value food that respects both ingredient and diner, make the reservation. You’ll likely find yourself, as I did, already planning the return visit. Highly recommended—worth every moment and mile, and we come from SWFL.“

“My wife and I eat there regularly. The service is great and the food is fantastic. It kinda got off to a rocky start when it first opened but with a new Head Chief and extra servers, who are very friendly and helpful, it has come along to be one of the better restaurants in Franklin.“

“On September 1, 2022 I ate at Captain D’s in Franklin, NC. I went through the drive-through and received stellar customer service and the fish was so delicious. Cashier went above and beyond and put all the condiment in the bag. So amazing! Thanks for all you do, keep up the great job. Todd“

“The best Brunswick stew!! All their food is great, but we drive from SC just for the Brunswick stew!! Five stars!“
