Franklin Cafe

4.5

About this business

Deep in the South End, there is a small establishment where inexpensive, gourmet-quality food really does exist. The menu at Franklin Cafe ranges from meatloaf to sushi-grade tuna, all served with impeccable sides such as mashed potatoes with chives or lentil and bean sauce. Even the chicken livers are great here. The dining room is small and crowded, and the noise level can be high. This cafe, which has a full service bar, is very popular, and waits of an hour or two are common, even on weekdays.

Absolutely amazing food and service! We each ordered something different so we could share and each meal was a winner! Personally, the Turkey Meatloaf with Figs was my favorite. Terrence provided great recommendations and was super friendly! Have already told several people about Franlin Cafe. Can't wait til my next visit.
