This is it: Ground zero for the assorted artists, academics, techies and entrepreneurs who ensure the South End remains the hippest neighborhood in town. The Franklin owes its status in part to the fact that it's still one of the few… Read Full Editorial
Best Cafe in Boston by Amos R via Insider Pages on 12/7/2010
Simply say, Franklin Cafe is my favorite cafe and it the best in Boston. I like going there and having delicious dishes.
A perfect experience by Spiderwhisperer via Citysearch on 8/21/2010
This place was reccommended by a bartender at another restaurant when I asked where I could go eat at that time of night (around 11:00 PM). I was on vacation, my mother was in the hospital, and I had spent most of my time either there or…
Impossible. by vizjer via Citysearch on 2/24/2010
Franklin cafe is hands down one of my favorite restaurants in Boston. It is impossible to have a bad meal here. I have been numerous times for dinner and always have a delicious meal. This place is also a great date spot if you are…
Underrated by Alex Rosenzweig via Citysearch on 1/13/2010
Consistently one of my favorite restaurants/bars in Boston. Hats off to the staff for making this place time and time again great. I never hesitate to bring an out of town guest or come to Franklin for a special meal. The menu is not…
Delicious!! by Roxy20 via Citysearch on 11/5/2009
I went to Franklin Cafe a few weeks ago with some friends for dinner, and was super impressed with everything! The food is delicious, fresh, and interesting and on top of that, the drinks were great too. I got some fantastic…
Franklin Cafe is a great late night bar by EMILY N via Insider Pages on 8/6/2009
Franklin Cafe is a hip restaurant that serves up delicious food and large portions. I recommend sharing the dishes. The bar is a nice spot if you are dining elsewhere in the neighborhood. They serve food very late as well.
South End Hot Spot by Amber K via Insider Pages on 7/27/2009
The Franklin Cafe is a very small hot spot in the south of the South End. They have a very limited menu but that doesn't stop people from coming weekly. It is quite trendy for its particular location. The food is raved about by many but I…
Great bar, great food by SouthEnder Z via Insider Pages on 2/4/2008
Franklin Cafe remains on the short list of best places for cocktails and dinner in the city. The no smoking policy in Boston has made Franklin even more appealing because the air doesn't get so thick in the the dark, windowless interior.…
Night Spot by Carolyn R via Insider Pages on 1/29/2008
Franklin Cafe is known as an incredible after hours place. It stays open until 2 am and serves incredible food. It is a cozy spot that is modern yet not uptight. Definitely a place to come with friends and hang out at the beautiful bar.
Consistently excellent food by sjdnoho via Citysearch on 12/13/2007
The consistent quality of this restaurant makes it a popular, but crowded choice, so arrive early or be prepared to wait. The menu is creative, fresh, and inviting. The staff are attentive, friendly and professional. It is a high quality…
My personal Experience by jmsresearch via Citysearch on 10/8/2007
This past weekend I was visiting Boston for 3 rd time, I always hear that this restaurant is pretty good, so we decided to try, we arrived at 7:00 pm, the place was pack, the host told me 30 to 45 minutes, I have a glass of Wine, very…
Never a bad meal! Cannot say the same about the new staff. by aareche via Citysearch on 9/13/2007
I love Franklin Cafe. I would even go as far as saying it is my favorite restaurant in Boston. Unfortunately, the last two times I have been there (twice since August 2007) the new wait staff has been a little less friendly than usual. …
One of the best option for late night dining in Boston by glunardi via Citysearch on 7/30/2007
We tend to work really late in the evening. Franklin Cafe is certainly becoming a frequent destination for after-work-late-dinner for us.\r
\r
The menu is quite nice and the specials are always there for us to look out for. The "Steak…
Great menu, reasonable price, trendy atmosphere by desieclipse via Citysearch on 6/18/2007
I love this place! It's trendy, has great drinks, everything on the menu is delicious, and it's open super late - what's not to love??? Although this restaurant is in the South End the location is a bit hidden - it's a little hard to find…
Don't get the hype - UPDATE by kerryaustin via Citysearch on 5/25/2007
Visited Franklin Cafe for a much anticipated dinner. The dishes were swimming in salt. And I don't mean just the feature of the course - the whole plate was doused with salt (salad, side dish included). We weren't impressed with the server…
Great Food Late Night in the South End by dave5056 via Citysearch on 5/13/2007
This neighborhood spot in the South End is great meeting place for late dinner or drinks. Keep in mind it is dark and half the space is a bar. When busy it can be a little loud and caters to most people under forty and people in the…
this is what you're talking about? by new2southend via Citysearch on 10/26/2006
i don't get the hype. the food is good (make sure you get a higher temp on your food, i ordered med rare and got a raw steak instead.) but the service is questionable. i've never gone early, which could be the problem. if i get there,…
Cozy restaurant/bar by delllane via Citysearch on 10/6/2006
I heard a lot about Franklin Cafe before I went, and while I was a little disappointed in one of the appetizers (mussles that were tiny and def. not fresh catch) the entree of tilapia and purple sticky rice was AMAZING and lived up to the…
LOVE Franklin CAFE! by haniz via Citysearch on 9/28/2006
I love this place never disapointed. Delicious Steak frites, cocktails and service always superb!\r
Always a fun crowd especially to get last call!
Great neighborhood spot in all ways by phlordsfo via Citysearch on 8/28/2006
I hate to heap too much praise on Frnaklin Cafe, as it is already supremely popular. However, unlike other popular places, Franklin Cafe's longish waits for a table are well deserved. My steak frites was simply perfect. The crisp,…
