Restaurants in Franklin

“so good. I do not like BBQ sauce and this place has amazing homemade BBQ sauce.”

“I’m in the area for just one night and needed to figure out where I could get a quick dinner. I saw Sophie’s Bistro and after getting a recommendation from a colleague, I made a reservation. It’s a really casual place; not pretentious in any way, but the bartender was both talented and conversational and made something off menu to enjoy. For dinner, I decided on French Onion Soup and Steak Frites and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Besides this, the bread service they bake in house is amazing and I learned about the owner and how he treats his people and that made me even happier that I came in. I wish we had a place like this where I live; I would be there all the time. I’m not sure when I’ll be back in the area, but next time I’m near Somerset, I know where I’ll do dinner. Give it a try, you’ll be happy”

“We had an amazing meal a few weeks ago at Luca’s! We were greeted and seated and waited on promptly. We brought our own wine in which they had no problem opening for us. The food was out of this world. Their meatball appetizer is everything you’ve heard and then some. Incredible sauce, bread service, and our meals were excellent. My partner had the octopus for an appetizer and said it was incredible. Both of our meals were amazing and served timely and piping hot. I had the chicken marsala with mushroom risotto, delicious! And he had the veal saltimbocca. The service was prompt, pleasant and just perfect, and the atmosphere is lovely. I highly recommend this restaurant!”

“great food friendly staff!”

“Simply the best ,I eat there everyday there open great food great service and trust me I'm a fuss pot when it comes to my food but they have never disappointed me in the years I have been going there”

“If I could give it 10 stars, I would!! We came on Easter Sunday, everything in the area was closed. We came to Holy chick and couldn’t be happier. The inside decor is really pretty and inviting and not like a fast food place at all. The prices were amazing! The owner, Lee was so friendly and chatted with us for a while. Antonella, the server was so patient and friendly she explained everything so well. We ordered garlic knots to start, so light and fluffy. We also ordered pizza strips -small sized pizzas so you can try different flavors and not commit to just one. We ordered the Motown Margarita pizza strip. It was so fluffy and delicious. We also each got the chicken and waffles, it’s one chicken piece with a dipping sauce and a very sweet waffle that tastes like candy- no need to dip it in the maple syrup! We also ordered the season fries which were fries with chicken bites and sauce and coleslaw! We were so excited about the food we didn’t even take pictures we just dove right in! Can’t wait to come back. It’s a MUST try!”

“stopped in for the first time today and I have to say the food was delicious, the banana pudding shake great and the staff were super nice and welcoming. I definitely recommend stopping in. 👍👍”

“A good, clean,fun & family friendly restaurant and ice cream shop!”

“Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Cleanliness 10/10 Cost 10/10 Everything they do is good from pizza to garlic knots , rice balls to French fries have never had even a mediocre meal here always above par !!! Everyone is always pleasant and kind only thing I would change is move them closer to Vernon 😊”

“Service was excellent, really enjoyed the food.”

“This review is truly long overdue as I have been a customer to this restaurant since the day they have opened. The owners Danny and Danielle are fantastic people! Welcoming personalities who greet every customer that walks through their doors! Liz and Katie and all the wait staff are always very welcoming when I call to order food or we come to dine in. The pizza is the best around, the Dinners are true authentically made Italian dishes and they are always fresh and flavorful! They run specials every Friday-Sunday which are always great too! Hands down the BEST Italian food in SUSSEX COUNTY!
We will remain a customer for many years to come!”

“Make no mistake, this is 5-star pizza. Get a few “personal” pizzas for variety: a cheese, a white, and maybe a mushroom or pepperoni - well done. Absolutely the best in Somerset area. If you stop there for lunch, their slices are quite big, you only need 1. And the chicken fingers are a MUST. We just love Amici’s. I recommend calling them directly and pick up, or ask for delivery. The owners are just great people. ?”

“Great old fashioned diner with solid menu and very accomadating staff.”

“Best place place if your a true sandwich eating person.Staff are friendly place is clean.This place has never disappointed me keep up the good work.”

“Excellent food, friendly family business. Highly recommend! Best Chinese Food in the area!”

“They're always great and nice...love the ice cream everything is amazing!!”

“I absolutely love this little shop. Their products are displayed beautifully. It is meticulously clean. The entire store in aesthetically pleasing to my eye. The store employees are sweet and courteous and they remember me when I come in each and every time. I highly (wink wink) recommend their products.”

“Love the food it’s the best place ever!”

“I have been here twice and each time the men/workers are friendly and attentive. The food taste fresh and looks more than appealing. I love how they fry the wings slightly hard so that the sauce doesn't make them too mushy. Each time the place was clean and I even saw the man wiping down in between services.”

“Lovely new restaurant. Super clean, delicious food, beautiful hand painted murals, friendly accommodating staff. Priced well, perfect portions. I had the tacos carnitas, my daughter had a quesadilla. ? Good parking, looks like they even have outdoor dining coming. What more could you want?”

“Awesome food & great service!! ❤️”

“Found Hamilton BBQ by accident and instantly fell in love with the food. OMG So good, great portions. Hubby and I were so very very happy to discover this wonderful place.”

“Love this place! The owner is awesome and the beers are fantastic”

“The Ice cream was very tasty.., Especially the cherry vanilla flavor.
The place was a bit crowded as it was a hot day.
Had to wait for almost 20 mins to get the ice cream.”

“This is their 2nd location, the first being in Edison, NJ. I had lived in Edison, and this sub shop was a long-time favorite with lines out the door. We were in the Franklin Park area, a 2nd location, on a weekend, a d decided to stop in. We ordered their tuna sub, which had always been a favorite of mine. It seemed that nothing had changed. It was just delicious and good as I rembered frim my teen years growing up in Edison. Prices have gone up for sure, but still reasonable and worth it. I would highly recommend coming here.”

“While your food is delicious, your customer service need work. Some of the younger kids rush you off the phone and when you pick up your food its even worse. no thank you, no nothing. just sign here and they walk away. almost short of bring rude”

“Place is great, food is awesome. Bartenders are awesome. What more do you need”

“Excellent food!!! Great service!”

“The customer service I received today was excellent. The young lady assisting me was courteous, professional, attentive, and added a thoughtful personal touch to the experience. She guided me to the correct location to pick up my two orders, handed me the first order, and then went to the back to retrieve the second one. Her kindness and attention to detail made the pickup process smooth and pleasant. I truly appreciated the great service and wanted to recognize her for making the experience a positive one.”

“Always enjoy our meal there , it’s always great, and the service is amazing, everyone is always so welcoming and willing to help with whatever we need”

“Absolutely loved Angela's Franklin Diner! It perfectly captures that classic, cozy New Jersey diner feel. The breakfast was fantastic—fresh, delicious, and served with a smile. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and satisfying meal. We'll definitely be back!”

“Been getting their crabs for New Years Eve for more years then I can remember. It’s our family tradition! Best way to bring in the New Year that I can think of! So grateful to have such a quality place so close to home!”

“It's my 1st time @ an Indian restaurant like this 1. The service is great and friendly. Also, the food is so delicious. Especially the Alu Samosa and the Mango Lassi because they're officially my favorite stuff.”

“Went to get my husband's birthday cake last minute, they we're so nice and understanding and didn't complain about the rush. They even put a note on the cake for me and also was able to get a number candle too! The woman on register was really knowledgeable about the selections and exactly where to find what I needed!! Thanks Carvel,!!”

“The best Filipino food we ever tasted while visiting New Jersey... affordable, clean and everything was delicious... Highly recommended!!! 👍👍👍”

“Cafe Alfredo catered a wedding for our family for 100 people with short notice on 8/14. The food was delicious!!!! It felt like that menu was planned months ago. The food was fresh and hot! Our family that came from near and far was very complimentary on the taste and quality of the food. We had penne and vodka, chicken and eggplant parm, pasta and garlic, chicken francaise and my favorite of the night shrimp linguine Alfredo! Thank you Giuseppe and team for saving the day with great food!”

“The picture i posted is the best Guinness beef stew I've ever had. All of the food here was great. Drove right by and decided to turn around and stop in. It's a far drove from where I am but I want to go back soon.”

“Had a couple of cheese steaks. Very nice. Ordered Old Bay fries, wish they were tossed and not drowned in it , however I did enjoy them. Ceiling fans made it chilly considering it was a cold night. Date night with hubby.”

“I ordered a everything bagel with Taylor ham egg and cheese. Bagels were cheesy and very high quality. The ham on the bagel was warm and fresh like the eggs were. Definitely would recommend!”

“Best bagels in the Tri-state area. I like how they spread the butter out evrm on the bagel to get a consistent bagel to butter ratio in every bite! The new bagel dogs look very interesting”

“Have never been disappointed. Portions and food have always been excellent. Walk-in service is fast. Highly recommended.”

“Food is fresh and delicious with so many options to choose from. Chips and salsa are free with each meal ( you don’t have to pay for them), the staff is wonderful and the place is clean! Queso is a must!!”

“Excellent food and service (shout-out to our waitress Susan)! Weirdly deserted for 6:15 on a Monday night, but that just means it's quieter and there's no wait. Unsure why business was so slow considering the food was genuinely the best I've ever had at an IHOP. Taking one star off the atmosphere rating because the music seemed unnecessarily loud but that's my only nitpick. 9/10, would absolutely eat here again if I go back to this part of Jersey.”

“Really great spot and great food. I go to this spot often for breakfast and the food is always great. Customer service is great. Price is moderate. Give it a try. There is a reason why all the older heads eats here.”

“Nice bar restaurant at the end of a round. We were there on a Wednesday and it was empty. We order BBQ knowing that it was not going to be fresh as the grills were not going. That said the brisket and pulled port were still good. The sweet potato fries were good as well. Little crispy. We both should have order the bbq souce on the side. Too much on for our taste but we should have asked. Great bar with a large selection of whiskey and bourbon. Service was great too. I would go back. Like to see how it is when it’s fresh.”

“We have been eating pizza from here since 17 years. Love their food. We did catering from them for my son’s birthday and everyone loved the pizza, pasta, salad, garlic knots and the fries. Their food is so fresh and delicious! Will always refer and recommend this place.”

“I often come to this restaurant to eat. Although it has a new owner, the taste is still as delicious as ever. I will recommend friends and family to come here to eat！”

“Customer service were so kind and respectful. Delivery man was also very professional. Food came quickly and was delicious. I have zero complaints. Thank you for your kind service.”

“The good food and friendly service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Tasty clean and fast service! They always acknowledge you when you walk through the door for the smile and a good morning… 🌞 once you try them you’re going to like them for sure!😎”

“This sonic has provided me with great, and fast service. The drive thru was quick, the cashier was polite and friendly. The food came out hot and was enjoyable with refreshing drinks!”

“Friendly staff good service”

“This place has been around forever, and for good reason. They prepare classic Chinese fare at reasonable prices. If you are looking for takeout, I would not hesitate.”

“I Would Fight a Bear for This Chinese Food

Alright, folks, gather ‘round. I have a story to tell. I recently moved back to Jersey from Florida, and if you’ve ever lived in Florida, you know two things: 1) Alligators will steal your golf balls, and 2) They have no idea how to make good Chinese food. Seriously, I don’t know what’s going on down there, but I’ve had dumplings in Florida that tasted like they had an identity crisis halfway through cooking.

But then, this place happened.

I ordered (purely in the name of science, of course), and I swear on my fortune cookie—I have seen the light.

Let’s break it down:

Pork Fried Rice – Perfectly seasoned, fluffy, with that little hint of wok magic that tells me someone back there knows what they’re doing. This isn’t just rice; this is a lifestyle choice.

10-Piece Crabmeat Rangoons – I took a bite and immediately questioned every life decision that led me to eat subpar rangoons in the past. Crispy? Check. Creamy? Check. So addictive I’d trade my Netflix password for another order? Check.

Chicken and Broccoli – I think it hugged me from the inside. The chicken was tender, the sauce was divine, and the broccoli wasn’t that sad, overcooked mess some places give you. No, this was vibrant, fresh, and ready to be devoured.

Now, here’s the thing—I don’t just like this place. I am now in a full-blown, committed relationship with this restaurant. I will be talking about it at parties. I will be bringing out-of-town guests here like I personally own stock in it. And I will not rest until I have left a five-star review on every single platform known to mankind. Google? Done. Yelp? Already there. Carrier pigeon message straight to their kitchen? Give me time.

In fact, I’m already researching pigeon care because if that’s what it takes to support this mission, then so be it. I will foster a pigeon. I will name it Lo Mein and train it to deliver handwritten praise directly to the chefs.

And to anyone who dares say anything bad about this food—I’m convinced you have burned off all your taste buds. The only possible explanation is that you’ve been eating nothing but plain porridge your entire life and now mistake "flavor" for a personal attack. Seek help. Seek seasoning. Seek this restaurant.

Whoever is back there making this food, just know—I appreciate you. I see you. I love you. Expect me back. Probably too often. Possibly enough to be concerning.

10/10. No notes. Perfection achieved.”
