Review Summary

Reviews describe a lively casual spot in the Old Port with strong drinks, quick service and a menu that shines on smoked meat sandwiches, poutine and burgers, delivering solid value and a welcoming vibe. The atmosphere ranges from cozy to energetic, aided by retro decor, music and a bar scene that makes it easy to hang out.

We loved Franklin's so much we went twice during our 5-day stay! Tristan was amazing, funny, kind, & gave great recommendations. The drinks were top notch & the poutine was delicious. Such a good time every visit!

What a spot! Had lunch here & it was SO tasty! Our waiter was awesome, really helpful & so friendly. The smoked meat sandwich was amazing & SOOOO much meat, the portions were not small. The spot is a bit quirky but so relaxed; I cannot recommend the place enough. 100 dollars for some great food & drinks inc tax; what's not to like?!

Food is too oily & lack flavour. Wouldn't recommend to stop by for food. Drinks maybe. Way better places to have a burger or casual dinner close by.

A great place in Old Port for fast food, in a cozy, fun, & playful setting. The service is excellent & attentive. It is also very fast! We ordered a little bit of everything & were not disappointed. We loved the fried pickles, smoked meat plate, hot-dog, & chicken wings! The drinks are strong & well done!

We found this little gem on the first day of our trip to Montreal. We were cold, starving & kinda lost when we found it. We had a smoked meat poutine & a philly's cheesesteak sub. Our host, Jean Francois, was very attentive, super friendly, & very knowledgeable. Drinks were on point. The food was served incredibly fast & delicious. Definitely 100% recommended!

Franklin's is a cool spot for good food & cold drinks. Definitely get New York hip hop vibes from the framed Yankees jerseys & the older gully rap. Service was terrific. Not a wide beer selection. Sapporo is tasty, but expensive. The smoked meat sandwich isn't as good as say Schwartzs deli but not bad! I do wish the meat to bread ratio was a bit more even. It's probably like 75% meat & the rest bread. The star of the night was their fried chicken sandwich. The sauce , the slaw, & the chicken breast itself, is perfect!

Walked into this place as it was irresistible in curb appeal with popping music & bright atmosphere. The owner clearly has taste with the Playboy atmosphere set in a women's lib welcome setting; the bartender Tristan is like a superstar, model - & I'm not Gay except in spirit & acceptance. My wife felt special & the food was oooo lah la for burgers & poutines. You wanna start early & end late at this joint with Music that makes my mujer dance & drinks that look right out of the copacabana - heath @ stowe media , directo

Philly steak was very good but dissapointed they used yellow cheddar cheese for the price of the sandwich could of went with swiss or gouda for that price... Fries were average nothing crazy The price of the combo wich I thought would be fries & a drink is of 6$ wich includes only a box of fries that once again are average theyre just fries with a lil salt. The lemonade & pina colada slush were also 6$ each wich I find a bit expensive. Cause in the end two sandwiches +fries & drinks costed me around 70$ wich I find a lil expensive for bar food. Other than that staff was super friendly & it seems like a great place to drink & grab a snack.
