The Hale House

This place has the best menu options and their execution is frequently great. I live nearby and this is our regular restaurant. The Southwest Burger with a veggie patty is my usual, but always consider the specials they have on offer. They come up with new specials weekly, as well as specials unique to Friday and Saturday nights. The staff are universally in my experience attentive and nice. The prices on items are a little more than elsewhere, but it's worth it to us every time. Consistently good food.

Absolutely delicious. Our server was Kelly. She was super knowledgeable and attentive. We ordered cheese curds- which were flash fried and authentic-tasting---> not breaded; still very delicious.
Salad was good; I tried the citrus balsamic; would recommend.
The wings, which I ordered as my meal- absolutely delicious!! There was something different about them. More smoked than fried, perhaps?
I tried four different sauces and let me warn you. From someone who has a high tolerance of spicy- the hotter/spicier ones? They are HOT. very delicious as well; it's a good thing that I had ranch there for moral support; by the time I was done, I was feeling like a weak ho. Luckily, another bloody Mary... Strengthened? My spirit?? At the end??....
Either way, would 10/10 recommend this crafty, play on words of a (H)ALE house. ????????

Stop here while our riding. This place has very tasty food and a very friendly staff. They have a very nice patio area to sit or a spacious bar if you prefer. Very clean and maintained. I highly recommend it if you find yourself in Franklin.

Excellent beer selection. A unique and fresh take on bar and grill foods. French Onion soup was great, salads are huge and perfectly done burgers. The daily special really stands out, it was the Salmon wrap recently and we'd all get it again. Superior service even while they were packed full.

I had the Duck Potato Skins and the Divine Reuben with an sweet Old Fashioned. The potato skins were very rich in flavor and the duck meat on top was pretty juicy. The corned beef in my Reuben was very tender and full flavor. It had the right amount of kraut and dressing on it. They're Old Fashioned was pretty good, but not the best I've ever had. Service was very prompt and super friendly. Definitely want to go back to try other menu items!
