Terrible experience. Was very excited by the prospect of smoked meat sandwiches & was completely disappointed. We waited almost 40 MINUTES for these incredibly sad looking excuses of a'smoked meat' sandwich. I paid $20 for this plate which is absolutely insane, a single sad pickle & meat between 2 slices of untoasted & soggy bread. My friend ordered a Philly cheese steak which was literally ground beef with American cheese on a hotdog bun. THATS IT. Terrible experience, do not bother going here & a complete waste of money.

We enjoyed the bar atmosphere. Sitting by the giant open window on a lovely summer evening was delightful. The staff was very friendly, but inattentive despite it maybe being one third full. The smoked meat sandwich was delicious, & raised it up to a 3 star food rating overall. My family did not enjoy the steamed (a Montreal thing) classic hot dogs, nor the undercooked corn dog, & gave their food a 2 out of 5. However, sold a Montreal style hot dog is your thing, it could be good. I still can't recommend the corn dog. The fries were fine. The fried pickles & remoulade were decent, if not remarkable. The fried mozzarella sticks were good & included salsa. It's a strange inclusion if you are American & used to marinara, but it kind of works.

Nice little spot in the area if you want something quick. Smoked meat sandwich & Philly cheese steak were pretty good. Prices were decent for the portion size.

I stopped by Franklin's for takeout & had mixed feelings about the meal. The smoked meat sandwich was a bit disappointing as the meat wasn't very tender & lacked the texture I was expecting. The burger was decent, but nothing that really stood out.

The highlight of the meal was definitely the poutine. It was fresh, flavorful, & easily the best part of the order.

Overall, it wasn't a bad experience, but based on this visit I'd probably come back for the poutine rather than the smoked meat.

Nothing fancy, but a fun, small place. We visited during the May 2026 long weekend on a hockey game night. That was fun!

The smoked meat sandwich was very good & it had a lot of meat. Tried their Philly cheesesteak & it was ok, very heavy for my taste, but my partner liked it. Also had the fried onion rings & it was a very big portion. Heavy deep fried too, couldn't finish it all.
Overall, it was a fun experience, decent prices for both food & drinks. Like what you'd expect in a non-fancy sports bar.
We'd come back!
