What User likes about The Franklin At The Gibson Inn:
We really enjoyed the Gibson. The host was super-welcoming and kind. The young lady who served us was delightful: professional, friendly and efficient. Our food tasted great. Plus, the server recommended a beer with Key Lime flavoring and it was uniquely delicious. Thanks, Franklin, we’ll be back. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about The Franklin At The Gibson Inn:
We had our seat for at least 20 mins before someone even approached us. We had to ask for menu 3 times. After they brought my food, I asked for fork, but waitress forgot about it. I had to steal from next table. For the price I was at least expected good service. Food was OK. Nothing special. Bar was cool though. View all feedback.

Overpriced for food that appeared to have been prepared in a diner and service below what one would expect at a Waffle House.

Food is great, as always. Mixed drinks are not good. The fifteen dollar old fashion (an extra five because I don't care for Jim Beam) was likely made by someone...

I enjoyed the meal, drinks, and dessert. Had the brunch menu. Really wanted the lunch menu, but it was not available on Sundays. Will be back to try.

The order was not right- took a while to get it right. Bacon was burnt to a crisp and I didn’t try and send that back. Expensive for poor service and fair food!
