Awsome place to kill some time before a show at FM Kirby Center. Service was fast, food selection is great, beer is cold.

Great burger & chili. Great spot on the square in Wilkes-Barre. Will be back.

All the bartenders are cool and the atmosphere is relaxed and inviting.Steak bite sauce is an acquired taste. A1 should be offered as well but I'm not complaining.

This place needs more seating. Probably more staff as well..I met a friend here and we left because we had no where to sit and couldn't get service. More seating. Or stop treating the place like a club!! Its not a club..

Loved the stone bar and the atmosphere: good music, lights, decor, everything.Food was decent, wouldn’t say great, j only had the bonfire. Buffalo chicken was good but the cheese sauce wasn’t amazing. Im very picky about cheese though.However the service from Grace was amazing. Very friendly and welcoming.Will definitely visit again!

Matt went above and beyond to make us feel important! Thank you Matt for an awesome dining experience. There is not a lot of great service out there today. Awesome time!
Bartenders seem to be very distracted and chatting with each other more than worrying about my empty beer glass. Food is overpriced for what it is. The decor is awesome, tho.

We found this gem by chance while in town for a concert. It's rustic industrial atmosphere will make you feel as if you are on vacation somewhere special! We loved being able to sit inside/outside with the garage door open! There is also seating fully outside if you want to people watch.Now the food...the breads, burgers, chicken and other items are hand made and are phenomenal! The nachos with chili are out of this world and the shrimp corn chowder was one of the best soups I have ever had! We also had the chicken club....with home made bun, of course. Simply amazing!Now the service...Matt, the bar tender was on top of it all. His professionalism and fantastic personality was the icing on the cake with this find. He has been with the establishment since it opened and it shows. The only thing he wasn't doing while taking care of everyone was juggling ...however, I have no doubt that he could handle it with ease!This is a MUST TRY! You can thank me later..Bravo Franklin's!

Nice to visit a local restaurant. Kinda lame they charge 3% on all credit AND Debit card transactions. Especially those in banking industry know that debit transactions cost less than credits. Pretty lame money grab.Suboni was fun. Basically a toasted sandwich. Little too salty with cheese and meat. Side salad was fresh and cold. Very good beer selection though over half is sold bottle or can.Good service. Bartender stayed on top of everything like a champ and did the service dance well.

Nice experience sitting outside for a drink in the evening. Our server was so professional and courteous to indulge in our wish to sit outside for a while between rain storms. Fun drinks, great bar food, very welcoming environment, cool but not snooty.

First time in 5+ years I visited Franklin's and I was impressed! Our bartender/waitress was so nice and friendly (if you're that lady with red/blonde hair, thanks for being awesome) and the food was really good. Pricing was on par for local restaurants for the burger, but slightly high for drinks. I LOVE the chalk wall with the seasonal drinks - and will definitely be back to order something off that menu. Parking is street only which was a bummer but expected for downtown.Parking: Street parking onlyDietary restrictions: There is a cauliflower crust pizza that's gluten free
