Best burgers in town! And Hamm’s on tap. Win all around.

I was really excited to try this place out since I love supporting local businesses. Unfortunately, we did not have a good experience. We came in around 6:30pm on a Saturday night. It was myself, my husband, and our two children. We were the only people not seated at the bar and who appeared to be eating. Our server came up and asked us for our drink order. No introduction. No hello. Not welcoming. Okay, I can deal with someone who just wants to do their job. However, her body language and lack of acknowledgement to our “please and thank yous” made me uncomfortable. She would drop things hastily and walk away before you could say anything. When the food came - it was just meh. The kicker was when I ordered the wedge salad and asked for no blue cheese and to substitute the balsamic dressing for ranch. When it arrived, it had the balsamic dressing on it. I cringed because I did not want to say anything, but I was really looking forward to it. So I very politely said, I am sorry..I didn’t want the balsamic dressing on it. I was shocked at her reaction. She was legitimately mad at me. She said “you didn’t say no balsamic. You just said no blue cheese and that you wanted ranch!” I started to explain what I really asked for and she abruptly took the salad (with the side of ranch dressing) and said “fine! I will just remake it.” I cannot tell you how uncomfortable I was. I waited and when the salad came back, it was just 3 sad romaine leaves. Not cut up. And no ranch dressing. I was too uncomfortable to ask for anything so I stole my daughter’s ranch and tried to eat the whole leaf without a knife. I struggled for a while and when she finally made her way back, I asked for a knife to cut up the salad. You would have thought I asked her to bend over backwards. Eye rolls. Sighs. And then brings me a butter knife.
It seemed like most of the customers were friends of the staff, and that we were outsiders. Never felt welcomed.

We stopped by on a Friday around 6:30 for food and drinks. The venue is fairly small but some customers kindly moved over so our group of three could sit together the bar. The bartender was trying hard but not super efficient. We ordered drinks from the specialty menu and they were very good once we got them. We also ordered a pizza and specialty fries. The wait was ridiculously long (sorry I didn’t time it) but all was forgiven when the food arrived as it was delicious. Atmosphere is low key and comfortable. I’d go back again for great food and cocktails but only if I have plenty of time to wait. I hope they can become more efficient-this place would be a gem with stellar, upscale bar food, but service times were really slow. The couple next to us ordered the cheese curds and they looked fantastic. I will try them next time!

Our first visit. Amazing brandy old fashion. Great beer menu. The BEST cheese curds around. Our bartender/server, Megan, was super friendly and attentive. We’ll be back!

What a cute place! Just driving up to it screamed “Cheers”! My husband and I each had burgers (the WWW and Sweet & Savory) which were perfectly done and tasty. Fries were awesome, but if you prefer less salty, let them know. I love a little extra salt, so they were perfect for me. We will be back. Nice addition to downtown Janesville.

Holy hell, the best damn food you’ll ever have!! Like my husband says, “this is like crack”. 10 out of 10 will always recommend!!!

Great service, our waitress knew the menu well and was able to answer questions and give recommendations. Cocktails were great and made from scratch. Wings and loaded fries were tasty! Tried Jamaican jerk and bbq, not your regular bbq but so much better!

Excellent food and atmosphere. Had wings and a burger. Both meals were correct and cooked perfectly. The fries were great! Clean and timely place. We will definitely be back!

As just having been opened, Franklin’s has a few kinks to work out. However, food, staff and atmosphere are all top notch! We’ll be back.
Atmosphere was very comfortable and seating was enjoyable. Only like 8 tables though so not too big. Food was so good and menu was large enough to accommodate different taste buds. Unfortunately the Mac and cheese specials weren't available but the kimchi fries were delicious. Would recommend to anybody nearby. Definitely one of our favorite spots moving forward!

It took an hour to get our food, which was way over salted. The server was great.
if you're interested in going go quickly as I don't think this place will be around for long.

Stopped by for lunch, after seeing a few pictures online, definitely a place to check out, about time Janesville has some new good food options.
