Great bar with a juke box and darts! Plenty of TVs and a nice selection of beers and ciders. The food was delicious too, we had chicken cheesesteak egg rolls, mussels in the white sauce, steak quesadillas, crab fries, and wings. Nothing was greasy, didn't feel super heavy either. I'll skip on the wings in the future though.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon to watch a couple March Madness games. The bar was fairly full, but the rest of the restaurant was empty. Maddie was our waitress and she was pleasant. The chicken cheesesteak spring rolls were absolutely delicious!! Also got an order of the fries. They were handcut and reminded me of 5Guys! Def a nice little spot for drinks, and a chill atmosphere.Disclaimer!! Watch your credit cards and get a receipt. My friend's card was overcharged by $100. I'm going to hope and pray it was an honest mistake because Maddie was super friendly. The only saving grace is that we still had our receipt, and were able to dispute it with our bank.

This is my favorite bar! Can't believe I've never reviewed it before. It's better during the week than on the weekend. I'm not sure why. But super chill spot, great food, people are friendly. It's a great neighborhood spot with a full parking lot. It can get crowded and or noisy on Friday and Saturday nights but usually it's not hard to find a spot at the bar or a table in the back. Worth popping in!

FRANKLIN'S Healthy size of a cheesesteak, solid roll, great onions, and tons and tons of cheese! So much cheese I'm not sure how the meat truly tasted, but it was delicious. Will definitely be going back for another Cooper sharp adventure!

Standard local bar and greasy food, and I mean that in the best way possible. I have family in the neighborhood, and we needed a quick spot to catch up with friends. It was pre-happy hour, say 4ish, and their backyard patio was wide open. Fenced in away from the traffic off the main road. And it only (lightly) smelled like the typical dive smell of used cigarettes and natty ice) We shared some burgers, fries and IPAs. Much to our heart's content (well, not so much for the arteries)

Service was good. Bartenders are very nice. Karaoke night is lively and everyone seemed to have a good time. Drinks are very overpriced for what's not top shelf liquor. I was actually offended at the prices. $16 average for a drink. The food is also subpar. I doubt I'd go back. And I've been before but didn't pay for anything. Work outing. Dare I mention the rats swarming the parking lot. Always an unwelcome staple.

Different Cheesesteak #898. Guest Eater Jon O'Connell. This is a good bar cheesesteak. It comes with cooper sharp cheese. Very Cheesey Cheesesteak. Meat was easy to eat and covered in cheese. Guest Eater Jon pointed out that cooper sharper is a bit salty. This was better than, 'I'm at the bar and need something to soak up the alcohol' cheesesteak. Bonus cheesesteak spring roll video.

Met a co-worker for some drinks and food later in the evening and was able to watch the Phillies lose and also catch a football game as well. I believe there was a mini basketball game inside. 2 bars, several TV's and a full bar and menu. Staff was friendly and helpful with menu selections. Prices were reasonable and the drinks were pretty strong. Nice lil bar that wasn't packed or rowdy and had a nice mixed crowd. Ordered bourbon wings and traditional wings (they were 50 cents that day minimum of 6) and they were pretty good. My co-worker ordered chicken tenders and fries and wow the tenders looked huge and she said they were good. Definitely a place I'll come back to.

I was looking for a place to have a funeral lunch in the East Falls/Roxborough area. Since I attend Quizzo every Wednesday night, run by the wonderful Billy Gardner, I decided on Franklin's. I am so glad I did. All of my guests raved about the chicken parm and roast beef. I have to say that it was the best roast beef sandwich that I have eaten in years. The back bar room had plenty of seating for my guests and everything was set up when we arrived. I had a "consumption bar" and Stephen Starrett was our bartender. He was quick with the drinks and delivered them with a friendly smile. Tracy (the manager) couldn't do enough for us. Constantly putting out the food, cleaning up and always asking me me she could help me in any way. Plus the added bonus of a parking lot! Thank you all so much for making a stressful day bearable. If you need to have a private party Franklin's is your place!

I have been advised by several friends to try this venue. My wife nephew and I went this evening to meet some friends. It was a NIGHTMARE. The male server that started out waiting on us abandoned us to give his full attention to a larger table next to us. We ordered phone and after 90 minutes we were informed it should be out shortly. Once the food arrived we were told the final portion would be out shortly. As the bra was clearing out for the evening, we finally received the other portion of the food. As my nephew went to settle the tab the young lady that was behind the bar which I am certain was the owner was EXTREMELY condescending and informed my nephew that he had an attitude so she was matching his energy. Why would he or any of us have an attitude when we were clearly treated less than favorable by the original waiter who completely abandoned us to wait on another table without any warning or anything. I informed this young lady that I just wanted to settle the tab so we could leave this place and forget this night had happened. I also informed her that this was my wife and I's one an only time visiting Franklins. Hopefully, no one else will ever have to deal with some poor service. I am extremely disappointed and will never be back.
