Best late evening in boston I tried. there is not much for decent late night grub, this place is a pleasant surprise.

Cocktails were good, but pretty sure I got food poisoning from here. Overpriced food and drinks. Never coming back again.

Franklin Cafe offers a mixed dining experience, with slow service and mediocre food quality turning off some customers. However, the bar scene is lively, with good cocktails, but sometimes poorly executed. The restaurant itself has a cozy vibe, with standout dishes like wings and steak frites. Despite occasional service hiccups and noise levels rising later in the evening, many patrons appreciate the overall atmosphere, friendly staff, and diverse food menu, with some calling it a fantastic neighborhood gem. Overall, a recommended spot for casual dining, drinks, and catching up with friends in a welcoming setting.

Yes sir! You need to come visit Doug, great bartender, and the awesome steak frits! One of the few places still serving great food late into the night.

Beautiful outdoor patio on a crisp fall night. The burgers, hummus, and service were outstanding. A great neighborhood restaurant in the South End!
