“Decided to try the new WH in Middletown, after a total of 15 minutes of being ignored, we left and drove 4 miles to Franklin, We sat, ordered and had food on the table with in ten minutes. Waitress was super, food was perfect. Avoid Middletown, its worth the short drive to Franklin“

“The owners are friendly, attentive, and fun. Great local place for a night out. Awesome buffalo chicken dip!“

“I love the old fashioned decor of this place. It feels like home here. Our server, Jess, is very sweet. She made sure that the order was correct before putting it in. When she brought the food out, she made sure we were pleased with what we saw. The smokehouse burger is perfect; everything about it hit the spot just right.

1/22/2026–This place is busy for lunch. I have yet to see anyone clean off any table. I got the double stack cheeseburger. The burger and fries have hit the spot. My boyfriend got a chicken sandwich, which was not the way he had ordered it. The cook put things that were supposed to be on it which he did not want on it. Our server, Leah, is acting like she doesn’t want to be here. She hasn’t came to check on us after we got our food. I do understand that the staff is busy but that doesn’t mean she can’t ask if we were good or if our food is good.“
