Description

Specialties

Quaint and cozy neighborhood eatery renovated to it’s 1930’s beginnings serving American Cuisine, specialty cocktails, wine, craft and domestic beer. Saturday and Sunday Brunch Menu is on the blackboard from 11am — 2pm. The house-​made food on the menu is reminiscent of it’s 1930s beginnings, but we are also known for our creative daily lunch and dinner features.

Recently opened patio allows for outside, full service dining.

History

Established in 1930.

The original Franklin Inn, on the corner of N. Cleveland and W.

The building received it’s federal historic designation and reopened to supportive and enthusiastic neighborhoods on February 12, 2011. Named after Ben Franklin, the restaurant celebrates it’s rich Virginia history.
