Dog Friendly Restaurants Franklin

“Good burger,good service in a fun atmosphere“

“Dog friendly, fun experience!“

“Dunkin' Glazed Donut: It would be mendacious of me to say I'm a fan of Dunkin Donuts (DD) or Dunkin' as they're now called. Overall, DD has been more miss than hit for me. What’s worse is with DD being as numerous as they are in my area, they are often the only type of doughnuts brought to work meetings and social events. It got to the point that I no longer even cared for doughnuts as a dessert because I thought all doughnuts tasted this bad. When a sole Krispy Kreme opened in my state (along with numerous “craft doughnut” shops) I realized doughnuts could actually taste good. In recent years I have managed to discover a minuscule variety of acceptable flavors from DD. The Glazed Donut is one of those flavors as it defied my expectations. Their glazed donut is a yeast/raised donut coated in a sweet and sugary glaze. For DD it tasted relatively fresh and had a thick and chewy texture. Putting it head-to-head with Krispy Kreme's Original Glazed, DD's is larger, but less sweet. I'll take quality over quantity in this case. It's really not even a fair fight as Krispy Kreme's Original Glazed transcends the category. DD take was still impressive enough to be Doughboy approved 😋

“Very nice family restaurant with very friendly staff!! The food came quickly and was delicious! Definitely would recommend to everyone“

“I cannot say enough good things about this place. The owner and the bartenders make this the perfect neighborhood Irish bar. Great atmosphere and the food is top notch. Great portion sizes and a good value. A must for Friday Fish Fry, it is fantastic! And the chicken wings are out of this world. 5-stars for O'Lydias!“

“This is our go-to bar in MKE! We keep coming back because of the atmosphere — and especially because of the bartender, Bred. He’s super cool, always remembers us, and his service is amazing. Plus, the drinks he makes are always on point!“

“Great food and great service. Mary Margaret was our waitress and she was SUPER“

“Leon's has been on South 27th Street since 1942 and they remodeled in the early 1950s into the neon-lit, walk-up drive-in format that still exists today, meaning the building you're standing in front of has looked more or less like this since before most of your relatives were born. There's no dining room. You walk up to the window, you order, you eat in the parking lot or on the hood of your car, and on a warm Milwaukee evening you are surrounded by a full cross-section of the city doing the exact same thing. It's one of those places that functions as a kind of social institution without anyone having to try.
The custard is made fresh daily with cream and eggs and it shows. The texture is dense and silky in a way that regular ice cream cannot match, which is something food writers have been saying about Leon's for decades and which is still true when you actually eat it. We had the Butter Pecan, which is one of three flavors always on rotation alongside vanilla and chocolate, and it has this nutty sweetness that holds up all the way to the bottom of the cone. The Super Sundae Special is the move if you're not sure what to order: vanilla custard, hot fudge, pecans, and a genuinely generous pile of cherries that they do not scrimp on.
The Hot Fudge Sundae is a separate thing from the Special and equally good, with a fudge that runs thick and warm and doesn't slide off into the cup immediately. We also had a chocolate shake just to see, and it was the kind of chocolate shake that makes you realize you've been settling for lesser versions of the thing for most of your life.“

“Fun place! Always get treated good. Great food and great staff. Alfredo cooks some killer burgers, Bridgett, Josey, Eli are very hardworking and excellent at serving everyone. Bloody Mary is delicious as well.“

“love it! I didn't know there could be so many types of butters and jellies! my fav is the triple decker with bacon.“

“If a cup of coffee could flirt with your spirit, Discourse Coffee Workshop on Barkley in Milwaukee would be the one batting its lashes. I ordered the Flora and let me tell you — from the very moment my lips touched the cup, I knew I had stepped into another dimension.

This isn’t just espresso; it’s artistry.
It’s alchemy.
It’s what happens when coffee decides to put on a silk robe, light incense, and whisper poetry.

The first sip? Floral, creamy, soft — yet confident.

That oat milk-kissed espresso wrapped itself around my palate like a warm hug from the universe. The lavender honey syrup added a gentle sweetness, not loud or perfumey — just enough to let you know she’s divine. The rosewater? A subtle spiritual elevation. The candied lemon powder? A bright kiss on the finish. And the fleur de sel sealed it — a tiny spark that made every flavor stand at attention.

I tasted everything. Every intentional note. And with each sip, it only got better.

By the time I reached the bottom of the cup, I wasn't ready to say goodbye. This was easily the best espresso-based drink I’ve ever had. A soft, luxurious symphony in a cup — one that made me close my eyes and appreciate the moment every single time.

Discourse isn’t just serving coffee…
They’re serving portals, rituals, and revelations.

10/10 — Go treat your taste buds to something magical. ✨☕🌸“

“Been going to Broken Bat since they moved to their new location on 1st and Pittsburgh. I absolutely recommend this place and its entirety and wish I lived closer. Whether it’s wiffle ball, darts, or kicking back and enjoying a Beach Ball (my personal favorite Pineapple Milkshake IPA) no brewery comes close to offering the atmosphere of Broken Bat. But what really makes Broken Bat so special especially to the city of Milwaukee is they care about the people and the surrounding community. They aren’t here to just make another craft beer and take your dollar. If you’ve ever met the owner Tim you’ll understand what I’m saying. So… Whether you’re in the area or at a local store, grab a beer made by Broken Bat Brewing Company. You’re doing yourself a favor and supporting an establishment that deserves it. PS- if you’re a Marquette fan (or not) -> Find the beer “Ring Out Ahoya” and crack it open during Marquettes deep run this year“

“Everything about the experience was delightful. The coffee and matcha latte was good, the pastries were great, and the soup was delicious!“

“Stopped in Sunday morning to hang out and journal around 10 am and by the time I left at noon this place was thriving with groups and like minded solos working in a comfortable atmosphere. I ordered the hot latte with white chocolate and it was fantastic, served with nothing but smiles. I’m not someone who eats things that are on the sweet side but decided to indulge in the mini pancakes (crazy mix) and they were soooo good. I look forward to coming back. I also learned they are open late and as someone who doesn’t drink much I look forward to testing out the atmosphere in the evening sometime.“

“Great place nice people and great Beer !!“

“Mobcraft beer selection is growing, padishah is back and it's quite good for the first time after reboot!

And their pizzas are amazing with crust that has like 1mm thin crunchy bottom and the rest is fluffy goodness. Toppings are yummy. Seriously, thank you for amazing pizza!“

“Love to treat my dog to ice-cream!“

“After moving here four years ago, I had given up hope of finding a place with genuinely decent baked fish. I finally found it here! The food is excellent, and the staff is absolutely amazing.

I've had Anjalesa twice now, and she has been wonderful—truly exceptional service.

If I could complain about one thing, it's the consistent lack of salad. I've come three Fridays now, and every time, the salad is completely gone, which is the only side I can have. They can't have one of the best ranches and not carry enough salad that they run out every Friday I've been here! I end up paying full price but leave with no side.

I hope the management sees this and addresses the salad stock, because otherwise, this place is a huge winner.“

“Went for the first time today for a doggo lunch date with muh fur baby. Wonderful staff and quick service. I noticed negative reviews complaining there was dogs, well no crap it’s the business model and there’s an actual picture of a dog on the door and logo. ANYWAYS price is a little steep but when I got my food holy cow it was delicious. And I love that they have dog friendly menu items available as well. The place is super clean for the amount of guests and animals that come through. Loved that the food pickup and service area is separate from dining. The only downfall was I did pay for pickles and there wasn’t any but I didn’t even notice it until I devoured the first half of my food. No big deal. I ordered the steak sandwich and strawberry limeade which I also love is made by hand with fresh fruit. My dog is now sleeping in a food coma as am I.“

“One of, if not my favorite, MKE places!“

“Oh my goodness! I don't even know where to start! The cookies were absolutely scrumptious. The customer service was fantastic. Never had the pleasure to meet such a friendly and wonderful staff! Shout out to Ally, Amanda, Izaiah, and Niya. Their kind faces truly made this such a great experience. I definitely will be returning soon.“

“they have delicious food! and the staff is very nice“

“Came for lunch with my 4 year old grandson. The food was great. We had the Godzilla burger, and. omelette rice. Loved the miso soup and the Japanese pickles are amazing!! My grandson was so excited to sit upstairs by Godzilla and was so excited to see mothra, garidos and magicarp too! Great service and atmosphere!“

“Torzala is fantastic! A lovely family run brewery with some top notch beers. Seriously, we have not had a bad beer here. The bartenders are great and the atmosphere is fun.“

“Excelente servicio al cliente!! Un lugar donde se respira paz y armonía, tienen juegos de mesa para jugar con tu familia/amigos. Les aseguro que de entrar por la puerta se sienten las buenas vibras. 100% recomendado!!! No se vayan sin probar sus dulces, frescos y con un sabor riquísimo!!“

“Found this place on a whim by searching food near me on our way home from St. Lukes. We checked out the menu and were sold! I must say the food was hot and tasty! I had the Onion Burger, My friend the Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos. The serving size were plentiful. We will definitely be back and we'll spread the word !! Keep it Up!!“

“Great local place. Very friendly service. And the pancakes were amazing!“

“love a good fruited sour beer! I had the strawberry rhubarb today and let me tell you it is so good!“

“The service, the food, and the atmosphere were top notch!“

“I absolutely love Ann’s! Pizza, fettuccine, lasagna are all delicious. Last night I had Ann’s penne with chicken and it’s my new favorite! Our waiter, Logan, was amazing also! Definitely a must check out!“

“If you’re reading this, make the reservation. Easily a 10/10 meal. We started with the burrata, their specialty. It was, in a word, divine. The bread was perfectly toasted. The salad underneath the burrata changes seasonally, and the apricot, honey, and truffle oil elevated it beyond expectation. I could have had another order of this for my entrée and been set. My chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Unpretentious but perfectly executed. The potatoes and broccolini came to life with the lemon caper sauce. My husband had the mac n’ cheese with short rib. The creamy mac and tender meat don’t compete in flavor — they’re in a loving, happy marriage. This is what restaurant BBQ mac should be. I’m not usually a crème brûlée person, or at least, I thought I wasn’t. I let my husband pick the dessert, and it did not disappoint. Perfectly creamy and flavorful. This is the experience you want when you decide you’re ordering a dessert. The service was top-notch. The alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks were all delightful. Heirloom MKE delivered one of my favorite dinners to date.“

“Awesome place!! My uncle used to be part owner years ago and my mom worked there. Supposedly I was conceived on the bar“

“Great little Japanese bar. Bartender was very knowledgeable about sake“

“This place is really impressive! James the bartender made me one of the best old fashioneds I've ever had! You could see that James takes alot of pride in his craft. James is a true cocktail artist and we enjoyed watching himmake each drink. He really does it right! They also serve your old fashioned with a large cube of ice:) We will definately go back!“

“My son made me aware of this fantastic brewery, and I paid them a visit on my recent trip to MKE. The taproom is so welcoming and adorable! The bartender was helpful, attentive, and friendly. I typically drink barrel-aged stouts, but I loved all three of my half pours - Sensitive King, Saison Bay View, and Garten. Yum! I look forward to my next visit.“

“Stopped in for an afternoon coffee. It was fresh and flavorful. My fiancé had the espresso martini and she said they were incredible.“

“Nothing I write can capture how much I enjoyed my experience at Tied House. We just happened to pass by their beautiful outdoor garden, and I’m so very happy we decided to go in. Julia, our server, was so helpful and very personable. Melissa and Adam, the owners, were amazing. They explained their craft to us and helped us to understand the creativity and passion that goes into every cocktail. All businesses should share their enthusiasm!! I wish we lived closer so we could visit them more often! I promise that every time we find ourselves in Milwaukee, we will be visiting the Tied House!!“

“Great place! Great atmosphere, staff, & beer selection! Highly recommend!“

“Was in the neighborhood and stopped in to try them out. Had the All Work No Play IPA and it was really tasty. Very nicely balanced. Our server was really nice and chatted with us as we sipped away. Cool place. Stop in if you get the chance.“

“Great place to watch soccer. They also have a nice beer selection.“

“My friend and I ordered the dragon and karma smoothie bowl. Both were so good and fresh! We also had their coffee and the avocado toast. The toast was so fresh and filling. The coffee tasted great. I can’t wait to go back!“

“Birthday dinner for my 8YO daughter. Shout out to the entire staff at Wonita Sushi Seafood and Bar. They were super patient with the kids, waiter was awesome and even brought an extra dessert after simply noticing my daughter looking with envy at her brothers choice. Then waiting for the bill, the host (manager/owner?) noticed the kids eyeballing the lobster tank and he pulled up a stool for them to get a better look. He explained to the kids the growth rate of lobsters and we explained it was my daughters birthday dinner. Walking to the car, he chased us into the parking lot and gave her a special birthday stuffed animal. I honestly don’t think I’ve ever been this impressed with service. Especially as it was just another day to them, we didn’t mention the bday until leaving. We had planned a different place that is closed on Mondays. Glad we tried Wonita. They left a very favorable impression on both kids and they both said they want all future birthdays at Wonita!!“

“polite owners/workers.great food and fast service.“

“Great pizza, great staff, beautiful space.“

“great food, first time there today. it's like a hidden spot I never knew about on the Eastside. On shift now I know where to grab a quick bagel . I will definitely be back.“

“My husband and I came from central IL for work but turned it into a date night. We had so much fun at Lost Whale! We tried nearly all of the cocktails (some twice) and fell in love with the shooters!
We're planning a trip back because we also feel in love with the area and want to explore! Thanks for a great Friday night!“
