Really enjoyed this small neighborhood restaurant and bar. I had the smash it up burger and house cut fries. Excellent all around.
Been here a few times and the food is DELICIOUS! The drinks are good and cheap. And the bartender Kate always takes great care of us. We love this place.
At first we were surprised. We thought it would be more spacious. But we passed the door as the weather was too cold to enjoy the outside seating area. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. The staff is very friendly and professional. We dad the burger and both my wife and I were so happy of our choice. It is really delicious. The meat is tender and we'll cooked, the vegetable is fresh and the fries hand cut. A real treat.

The Franklin Inn, also known as Grumpy Dudes Amazing Breakfast, is a cozy local gem in Richmond's Museum District. This intimate spot offers a warm atmosphere and friendly service, with staff often going out of their way to ensure a good experience. Happy hour deals are available, featuring both food and drink specials. The menu boasts delicious options, including wings with smoky barbecue, broccoli, and mac and cheese. The wings are juicy and flavorful, while the broccoli is well-prepared. The homemade mac and cheese is a highlight. Recent visitors also enjoyed the smash it up burger with handmade fries, which received high praise. The atmosphere is neighborhood-friendly, with good music like Jamiroquai adding to the vibe. The bar offers a modest beer selection, and the place has been a neighborhood staple for decades, filling a need for a low-key, friendly spot. Parking can be challenging, but the cozy environment and great food make The Franklin Inn a recommended destination for casual dining.
