Reviews for The Franklin Grill in Franklin, MI
My husband & I have always wanted to try FG, so we went tonight. Incredibly rude hostess greeted us with a frown and, ?How can I... help you?? (Um, we?d like dinner??) Then, ?Name?? When she learned we had no reservation, she sighed and asked if we?d be havingalcohol (?Yes??)?that apparently was our ticket to a seat at the bar. Totally fine, we can sit at the bar. I took a chair and myhusband went to move our car. There I sat, with the bartender a foot away, for over 10 minutes. He went past me a dozen times towait on literally everyone else. No eye contact. No offer of water. No hope for the strong martini I wanted. Apropos of nothing,on trip 13 or 14 in front of me, he suddenly looked over at me (not in the eye) & said, ?yeah, I?m not ignoring you, I justdon?t want to have to get drinks twice so I?m waiting till your other guest arrives?. Bad vibes at entry is one thing,continued bad vibes at the bar is another. We left and won?t be back. Read more
Our favorite place. Food is always good. We love sitting with Scott the bar and occasionally outside on their great patio.
Love the option to eat outdoors in a spacious heated tent. Limited menu but most of the options are a total hit. Had the lemon... chicken piccatta and boy way it lemony! ???? the Brussels sprout apatizer is a must and was a total hit with our party. Lovedthe atmosphere for a small family gathering. A bit pricey but would still return. Read more
Expensive but great food. $15 for house salad +$2 to split it with my husband. We ate in their outdoor covered patio. Very nice... with ceiling fans and heaters for cooler weather. Only complaint was our table was at the west edge with no protection from sun.Would have been nice if there was a shade to drop. Server wasn't very tactful explaining we couldn't move. Chicken picata wasvery good. My husband liked his white fish. Will go back...but, request a different table. Read more
Turned away during happy hour, we (4 adults and a baby) wanted to have drinks outside, told there were no outdoor tables... available. Not one. As you can see, most of the tables were unoccupied. It is hard to believe that all of these tables had animmediate reservation. Not sure if we were being discriminated against since we have a baby or what but don't plan on goingunless you booked "2 and a half weeks in advance". Read more
The food and service are top notch. The atmosphere is charming. All in all, I really like this restaurant. My only complaint,... and I know this is a small one, is that they don't take Discover. I kind of wish I knew that before walking in. Other thanthat, my dinner with friends there was great. I'll definitely be back there sometime soon. Read more
Best outdoor dining in city. They excel at seafood like Halibut and Grouper that you just can't get here. Excellent service as... well. Book ahead! Read more
Not far from a cider mill. The area has a busy vibrant small-town feel. Very good food. Decent portion size. Little on the upper... end of the price scale. Service was perfect. Read more
