I had dinner at this location with a friend last week. The food was very good, we came specifically to try the spinach dip and it did not disappoint. For my entree I had the quinoa and spinach bowl which was absolutely amazing I am still thinking aboutit. The service could have been better, we saw our server maybe three times throughout dinner and it seemed like he reallydisliked his job which I can understand but as a customer it made our experience a little underwhelming. The restaurant was alsovery loud with no music playing which was interesting to say the least. The vibe of the restaurant though was very interestingmy friend and I described it as ?hipster Cracker Barrel with a touch of...
We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Franklins. The "Quarantiki" area was lovely, and the kids had a fantastic time there. There was sand spread out all over the ground, which allowed the children to play while we waited for our food. The area was clean and well-maintained. Although all the tables were occupied, if you arrive early, you can secure a nice shaded spot. We ordered two appetizers; the crab dip was delicious and packed with flavor, while the spinach dip was just mediocre—I wouldn't order it again as the spinach pieces were too large and not very appealing.
Truly a treasure for locals? great food, ambiance, and drinks. The succulently fried chicken sandwich and brewed-on-the-premise beer pair perfectly with the click-clack of the commuter trains rolling by. The owner is local so they care about the community?and they don?t skimp on crab in the crab dip, which is a sign of a trustworthy Maryland local. And if you want to know whatCracker Barrel wishes its general store could be?go on a busy night just so you have time to peruse Franklin?s funky, practical,and/or whimsical items in the store next door.
A true gem for the locals, this restaurant offers fantastic food, a lovely ambiance, and great drinks. The fried chicken sandwich is delightfully succulent, and the beer brewed on-site complements the rhythmic sound of commuter trains passing by. The owner, a local, genuinely cares about the community and doesn’t hold back on the crab in the crab dip, a clear indication of their authenticity as a Maryland establishment. If you're curious about what Cracker Barrel aspires its general store to be, visit on a busy night and enjoy the experience.

We have been going to Franklins for 20+ years, and it is still a really great experience! Recently we went because we saw their NEW outdoor area under the bridge. It is great to be outside!!! See my pics of the plantings around the seating area ? so well done! I ordered the muscles, which are an old standby, but they changed the recipe. PLEASE GO BACK TO THE OLD RECIPE!!! Still the best food at the best prices and service around!
The food and beer are consistently excellent. As for parking, it is available for a fee of just $0.50 per hour. I dined in for lunch, and the price per person was between $10 and $20. I would rate the food, service, and atmosphere all at 5 out of 5. There is plenty of parking available, with paid parking lot options.
I can't believe it took me so long to visit Franklin's! The beer selection is fantastic, the food portions are generous, and there's something for everyone on the menu. The pizza was delicious, and the lamb sliders are incredible—honestly, they could be a meal on their own. Great job, Franklin's!
I thoroughly enjoy visiting this restaurant; the food and drinks are absolutely delicious. The staff is very friendly and professional. If you ever come here, be sure to try their burgers—they're fantastic! And the pizza? Oh my goodness, it tastes just perfect!

The food was pretty good...I wish that the cocktail menu was a bit more extensive. We had a soft pretzel, crab dip, cocktails, and bread pudding for dessert.
