Franklin House is a favourite place of some people I know so I end up here fairly often. It's comfy and warm, and the servers are good. There's an upstairs area for the live music which is nice for me because I prefer a quieter pub to a loud one.
The downfall of this place is that the food is only just ok. I had a Reuben and there was no sauerkraut, and the sauce was just mayonnaise as far as I could tell. My husband enjoyed his ribs (which I also tasted), but again, while decent they weren't special by any means.
The beer selection is small, so don't expect craft brews--that said, it doesn't pretend to be a place that serves fancy beer, so that's totally fine.
Anyhow, Franklin House is nice enough as a place to be well looked after for a basic pint and watching a game, but keep expectations for cuisine in check.
