This has to be the worst place to eat. You can tell the food was put in the microwave to be heated up. Don't waste your time coming here. Go across the street to Ruth's place. You get better service and delicious food.

My wife and I took her mom and friend to The Franklin Restaurant to celebrate her mom’s 79th birthday. We were there between lunch and dinner but the food was still fresh and delicious. The portions were very generous and with the salad and vegetable bar included if you leave hungry it’s your own fault! The service was fantastic, food arrived quickly and hot. This was our first visit and we will definitely be back.

I with much regret leave this horrible review. I wish it could be different because the people there are very nice but the food is horrific. I went for the breakfast buffet on a Saturday and I don't know what kind of eggs they used but they were between soggy and rubbery and they had black specs in it that you couldn't identify it almost look like floor scrapings. The bacon was so badly burned you really couldn't eat it you can tell that they deep fry it beyond recognition. Since I live so close to this restaurant I really hope the food was going to be better. The equipment they use for their buffet looks like it's original and could use updating.It was pretty nasty and small compartments barely hold enough food, that is why it run out so often. If three people go to the breakfast bar at the same time they wipe it out and if you were the fourth person you have to wait 10 to 15 minutes to get more food. With a little more effort this could be a great place!If that were to change I would change my review.

We came here after church couple weeks ago. The service is great, but the food is flavorless and not good. The bar wasn't well stocked with plates and the food wasn't good that was on the bar. I'm not sure if ordering off the menu would have been a better choice, as no one in my party chose that option.

I had their lunch buffet and it was rather good. I was impressed enough to leave a review due ti the apple cobbler desert, it was very very good.

60 dollars plus tip for over cooked or under cooked food is not worth it for 4 people to have eggs and bacon

The food was great! We love the salad bar and hot food bar. The staff was friendly, except for the waitress, she never came back and checked on us and gave us refills on our waters and drinks throughout our entire meal. We finally got more drink right before we left. The catfish was still cold inside in the middle, and it couldn't be sent back, because we never saw our waitress, but other than that, everything was really good. I will eat here again, and I would recommend it to others.Kid-friendliness: They have a good variety of food for kids.

What a depressing place. I felt so bad for the poor fish in the lobby fishtank! The water was so dirty, yoh could barely see the poor things with their lips stuck to the glass. The waitress was okay enough. She got the job done. The food was typical breakfast fare: eggs, bacon, toast. The coffee was good, and my cup was refreshed nicely. Please clean the fish tank or put those poor creatures out of their misery!

I ordered liver and onions. The liver was over cooked and therefore dry. It came with literally 4 little pieces of onion. Very disappointing to say the least. The service was ok but the food was very slow in

1st time there, I had breakfast bar. It was good. This time, I tried Lunch. Don't bother. Just go hone and open up some cans and get the frozen chicken strips or pre-made meat dish from frozen food at the grocery store. It's a lot cheaper and probably tastes better.

Good luck getting your order correct at a restaurant ran by people who don’t care. Spent $60 on food and received one item.. they didn’t seem to see the issue.Food is trailer park cuisine at best.. take someone here when you want to tell them you’re leaving them or something terrible, to highlight the food.Also, no manager… only in one day a week.Close down, already

We stopped for breakfast on a Saturday morning . The buffet was available so we gave it a try. They did have a regular menu to order from also. The breakfast potatoes and bacon were really good everything else was just okay. The biscuits were the frozen kind (I think). If you don't want to cook on Saturday then this is a good option .
