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.“

“Tonight was my first visit, and it truly felt like discovering a little treasure tucked right into the everyday. The food was fantastic—flavors that seemed to arrive with a quiet confidence, nothing showy, just genuinely good. My drinks were well-made and balanced, and my own meal was excellent in every way. I sampled my dad’s drink and took a bite of his food, and both were just as impressive as mine. It’s rare for everyone at the table to be equally happy, but that was the vibe all around us. Even our neighbor’s plates looked wonderful, like the kitchen had decided nobody would leave disappointed tonight. The atmosphere was relaxed but still felt special, the kind of place where you settle in without realizing how quickly the time passes. After just one visit, I can honestly say this is my new favorite spot. If you’re thinking about going, go. I highly recommend it.“

“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!“

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

“Fantastic restaurant with amazing specials and great people working there!“

“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“

“I have been a fan of Sonny's sliced pork barbecue for fifty years now and i'm thrilled to find another SLICED pork barbecue restaurant available.
I loved everything I had there. Especially surprised by the coleslaw love it. Love it, love it.
I am actually planning a trip back there tomorrow.
But the one in Waynesville, this time simply because it's closer.“
