Popped in with some friends on a Saturday afternoon. There was a protest across the street and a big show next door, so it was a bit more active then usual, but the bartender, Matt, held it down all on his lonesome like a champ!
Cocktails were good and the beer selection fairly substantial, with a good spread of styles.
As a person who grew up in Idaho, I am picky about fries and their fries are pretty solid! I was very pleasantly surprised with the Ahi Tuna bites. The fish had a good texture and flavor (The sauce is a teriyaki, which is not my favorite for nice tuna, but still tasty) I have a very sensitive stomach, and there were no issues later, which is an absolute win!

Food was good. Friendly staff. From what I saw, they only have high top tables which excludes sitting at a table for a wheelchair user so that's disappointing.

Nice surprise on a random trip to Wilkes Barre on a Sunday. Stopped in for a beer, but stayed for the huge selection of mixed drinks. Stayed even longer once we say the food menu. Highly recommend the Steak Bites appetizer. Everything was top notch, our server was so nice. Plus they had the Eagles game on multiple screens. Go Birds.

Amazing staff. You can not throw a fastball breaking ball or change up past them. Well oiled machine behind the bar even outnumbered 25-1. Professionals and super friendly!

Incredible food but terrible service and the worst part and reason I’m leaving this review is the noise was so loud I had to leave with my girlfriend who also had to leave due to the noise and go down the road to another restaurant. My ears were ringing afterwards from the loud volume in there. I’ve been here before once and it was great, but I won’t be returning because it’s so damn loud and don’t want to damage my hearing. Loudest restaurant I’ve even been to.

As a couple of foodies, we have a journal full of places we have been and places we can’t wait to try. It was a gorgeous September day for a motorcycle ride so we closed our eyes and pointed on our list and landed on Franklins. The place was jamming when we arrived but we were quickly greeted by the bartender, Matt. As a bartender myself, I appreciate the hustle! It’s an art to be able to handle the needs of an entire bar and tables efficiently and to do it with sincerity. Matt was amazing!!! He helped us pick out menu items and never let our glasses empty! I got the steak bites and they were cooked perfectly. My husband got the French dip and it was delicious! We can’t wait to go back and try other things from their menu and hopefully have Matt as our bartender again! A great afternoon!
We had lunch at Franklin‘s this past Sunday. Our son is at a local college and we have been going around trying different restaurants. So far this has been our absolute best experience. We sat at the bar and Matthew the bartender made us feel welcome right away. Our food was hot and delicious. I got a chicken buffalo wrap and my husband got a special that day, a chicken cutlet sandwich with provolone and homemade vodka sauce, I highly recommend this restaurant. The vibe is cool. Can’t wait to go back again the next time we are in town.
