11 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Franklin

“Amazing, love stopping by and hanging out. Definitely recommend“

“Such a great brewery! They had an awesome selection of beers with plenty of options to choose from, and the food truck was absolutely delicious. The banana pudding was easily a 10/10 and a must-try! Great atmosphere, good drinks, and amazing food. Definitely worth a stop!“

“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.“

“Wow!! What a place! It is SO rare to find an establishment that has the Perfect mix of: ambiance, food, service, music, vino/drinks and Owner engagement. This place hits it out of the park. The space is magnificent. The service is second to none. They make their own wine. The entertainment was wonderful (and not overwhelming). The food is spectacular and the hosts are warm and genuine. It’s obvious this, is a labor of love. We drove in from Cashiers and will be back Very soon. Great job Dion, Cathy, Renzo and Brittany. Not to be missed!!!!!“

“Our first time trying Franklin Pizza Tavern yesterday, and we couldn’t even believe how good the food was! We ate ourselves sick on the Fire on the Mtn pizza, a cheese pizza, and the cheese bread. The best pizza we have ever had and we are so lucky to have discovered this place in our little town. 12/10 recommend that everyone tries the pizza and everything else on the menu. You will not regret it!!“
