Merridee's Breadbasket

I opted for the Bennetts scramble. Eggs, sausage, spinach, onion and white cheddar. YES PLEASE. Very flavorful. Loved the sausage in it. Don't forget the hashbrown casserole.

Charming downtown location with plenty of space inside. We loved the old wood floors and overall layout.Delicious baked breads and treats (of course) and decent cafe-style breakfast.The breakfast burrito was OK (sort of plain) but anything that features their scratch made bread (like french toast) is a home run!

Brownies were delicious!Ruben was superb. Monte Cristo was good. Curry chicken salad was good, though the grapes are not cut. I had 2 huge grapes in my sandwich. If they were cut into fourths, or even just in halves, it would be much safer and would disperse the sweetness throughout the bites, which the sandwich could really use. Service was on-point! Ordered at the counter. Found a table. Coffee came out a minute after we sat and our food came out about 5 minutes later...and this was around noon!After eating, my daughter, husband, and I all needed to use the restroom. They are located in an atrium between Meridee's and another restaurant. Husband walked in the men's and walked out. He said the restroom was a disaster and he didn't want to be in there any longer than he had to. Daughter and I walked in the women's. No paper towels. TP on the floor. Trash cans overflowing. I mentioned all of this to a worker and she said they aren't in charge of the bathrooms and she would have to call someone on the phone to come take care of it. I think that is ridiculous. What if the bathroom was really, really bad? Customers would just have to close their eyes, hold their noses, and pray they don't touch or step in anything? Needless to say, we left there and found cleaner, fully-stocked restrooms to use.

Wow. Just Wow. I can't find a single thing I dislike except for the long line!! What a treasure. Even the Gluten-Free breads are amazing!

Great place for breakfast-located in downtown Franklin. Ordered the croissant sandwich- lots of bacon, Swiss cheese and egg - very hearty. I bought the cinnamon streusel bread for dessert- yum. Highly recommend Merridee's!

Merridee's Breadbasket is a place I've always passed in Franklin, and I finally decided to try it after hearing such great things. It was quite busy on a Saturday, but that's a good thing! The spot is very cute inside, and looks just like the name. I ordered the Ultimate Club. The bread is to die for. It made the sandwich. I'm a sucker for honey mustard on my sandwiches, and that hit the spot.We decided to sit out on their patio where there was plenty of seating which I was worried about when we first got there.

I met the owner of Merridee's and he invited me tohis restaurant !! I ordered the quiche plate with a side salad and mashed potatoes. Everything was absolutely DELICIOUS. Oh my goodness. The service was fast. The ambiance was very warm and casual. I am DEFINITELY COMING back again

Meridee's has been a fixture in downtown Franklin for years. It gains its popularity from fresh made deserts, breads, pastries, to all the ingredients that are used on their sandwiches and in their breakfast items, soups, and salads. I am a local and should frequent this place much more often and plan to in the future. It's a great place to eat alone, with a friend, or with a group of people. No matter where you sit, it's like being in your own kitchen... The decor makes it a very homey atmosphere. It's a small setting with limited seating, so it's very crowded during prime breakfast and lunch hours. It does tend to get noisy with all the people in such close proximity of each other. So, don't plan on having a very private meeting or conversation when you dine here.You order and pay at the register. Staff brings food to your table, but you do your own refills at the drink station. Parking can be a pain and hard to find near Merridee's, but there is a free garage if spaces are available. I usually get the SAMPLER PLATE for  $11.69 because I like a variety. It has of Chicken salad, Tuna salad, Egg salad, House fruit parfait, and Cinnamon Raisin bread. They will even let you switch breads and spreads upon request. Their Curry Chicken salad and Pimento cheese is good too. They have a variety of other sandwiches that are very tempting to the taste buds. If you aren't in the mood for any of that, Merridee's also serves pot roast daily with several homemade vegetables to choose from. I suggest trying their Fruit tea. They say they use decaffeinated tea with 9 different fruit juices for the taste, that is very refreshing & delectable. Meridee's has been featured on national tv several times, so it attracts visitors from all over the US. It is also been voted best bakery several times in our hometown. Another fun fact about this restaurant demonstrates baking as a tradition in the original owner's family, because her grandmother was head cook for the Pillsbury family. Great place to be ableto say, you've been there! Pics taken from sources online.

Breakfast love*** Definitely will stop again. Service is at the counter where you order and they give you a number and bring your food to the table (beverages are self serve). The vegetarian breakfast sandwich is outstanding. Best thing is no egg! I guess if you want that they can add but it's so nice they have a lovely breakfast sandwich on fantastic fresh bread, yummy veggies and cooked to perfection. The meat lover at the table had the Viking and enjoyed. Don't miss the hashbrown casserole. It's totally a great addition to your meal. Friendly service and nice homey dining room.

Of all the times I have been to Merridee's I absolutely cannot complain. Sometimes the wait is a little long (weekends), but the food and service make up for it. From breakfast to lunch the food has been constantly good. On one of the last visits we had the Sampler Plate (chicken & egg salad, fruit parfait and cinnamon raisin bread). It is supposed to come with tuna salad as well, but I do not like tuna salad so I asked them to 86 the tuna on my order. We also got the Monte Christo which was so delicious. The general ambiance is country: blue and white picnic style tablecloths and all. They have a wide variety of freshly baked goods and coffees.
