    5 stars in every category, amazing atmosphere, great food, outstanding service. Had a hard time getting a reservation on a Tuesday night, every spot in the lot was full, it was an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend!

    Food was hot, and seasoned perfectly. We tried the blacked salmon with crab risotto. Could not put the fork down. Our server had the patience of a saint. My husband was running late but she waited till he arrived with no questions or attitude. The atmosphere was peaceful tonight. Might've been because it wasn't as crowded due to the storm

    Had a great dinner here with my colleagues, I had prime ribs, that was very good, aged well and seasoned through. I also had chef salad and cheese cake, both are delicious. Service is top notch, very thoughtful! You had a dot on the table that you can ask for service and question.

    We had another dinner with girlfriends Saturday 8.10.24 6:30pm. This place is a well oiled machine. I requested a booth, and yet again, request is filled no problem. Perfect service. Delicious food. Fantastic cocktails. Cozy atmosphere. It is so refreshing to go out to relax and know you will have a fantastic experience. Our friends have never dined here. They loved it. Kudos.

    1st timers and it won't be the last time! I came to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. We were blown away by the service and food. Genevieve was our server. She was wonderful. Pros The bread for the table was so tasty. We had the baby back ribs appetizer and it literally fell off the bone. My bf got the crab bisque. I had some and there were lumps of crab inside. We both got steak. He the filet and I the ribeye! Truly mouthwatering. I recommend the caesar and stuffed potato as sides. We ended our meal with the flambé crème brûlée which was one of the best I ever had. There's no cons to this restaurant. I love the warmth and coziness of the place. Everyone was friendly. It was no surprise it was packed! Can't wait to come back again and try something new!

    I've been hearing nothing but good things about the Franklinville Inn for a couple of decades, but never found occasion to dine there. Tonight, we finally got a chance to enjoy the storied legend. The service was attentive and prompt (bordering, from the outset, on obsequious), and we had some pacing issues. But the food was excellent: I tried the crab cake appetizer, and it was everything that rabid fans have raved about: hunks of crab meat, lightly bound together, into a delectable whole. The red pepper sauce that accompanied the dish adds nothing, and is best passed over in favor of a squeeze of lemon. My wife had the bisque, which offered some crabmeat near the bottom of the bowl, but the soup itself was a bit sweet. Our Cesar salads came dressed with a tangy, loose dressing; the greens seemed wilted from perhaps too much time under the sauce. I enjoyed the 10 oz strip with stuffed shrimp (more delicious crab!), but as a specimen of red meat, my wife's ribeye was an exemplar: charred, salty, and huge. We split the crème brûlée, which was excellent, if a little chilled, and a hint of booze on top because that's how they serve it (alight). The Inn is more capacious than the exterior suggests; it was quaint and quiet during our visit, and there was no noise coming from the adjoining bar.
