Franklin's Subs and Suds is located on St-Paul street in Old-Montreal. Delicious "Philly Cheesesteak" submarines are the main attraction. The decor is very comforting, you'll find arcades, beautifully designed graffiti and great ambient music.
Franklin's is described as a lively casual spot with warm, energetic ambiance and retro decor that sets a social mood for a night out or a casual lunch. The smoked meat sandwich, poutine, and Philly cheesesteaks are frequently praised, along with solid burgers and tasty wings, while the drinks and playlists are highlighted as major mood boosters. Service is repeatedly commended for attentiveness and friendliness, with many noting standout bartenders and welcoming hospitality that makes the experience feel personal and easygoing. The vibe is described as sports-friendly and convivial, great for groups, but some reviews mention the space can be loud and not always kid-friendly, with occasional menu items varying in quality such as poutine that can be salty or a sandwich that isn’t as robust as hoped. Taken together the place seems to offer great value, tasty food, and a memorable scene that invites return visits.
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!
1st off, Tristan has the best service of any mixologist I have come across. Montreal has a spot that caters to all generations. The nostalgia showcasing decades of memorabilia will certainly bring the kid out on you. Whether you snuck a peek at your dad's playboy magazines or that little girl who loved her cabbage patch kid, I feel you will enjoy your time at Franklin's. You get the fun mid twenties vibe while the music sets the tone while you check your phone to see if the babysitter has called asking when you are coming home. I suggest not answering that phone because you have a lot of signature house cocktails to choose from & you may want to try a few of them. I suggest the Pitbull. No doubt, the best relaxed but vibing watering hole in Montreal.
I stopped by Franklin's Subs & Suds in Old Montreal one night, & it was a fantastic way to end the evening. The highlight of my visit was the poutine with smoked meat. The fries were perfectly crispy, the gravy was savory without being overwhelming, & the smoked meat brought a rich, satisfying flavor that tied it all together. It was comfort food at its finest. The atmosphere at night was cozy & inviting, with just the right amount of buzz to keep the energy up without feeling crowded. The beer selection was impressive, offering plenty of options to pair with the meal. I enjoyed the relaxed vibe, where you could sit back & savor your food while soaking in the historic surroundings of Old Montreal. Overall, Franklin's delivered a great experience. The combination of tasty food, a comfortable setting, & a prime location makes it a spot worth visiting, especially after dark when Old Montreal's charm is at its peak. Four stars for a memorable night out with excellent poutine.
Best food place I've been to in so long! The decor was cute & the vibes were high & our server Kevin added to it! If you're wanting somewhere fun to eat/drink then go to Franklins for a good laugh & the best food!
Of course MTL has a lot to offer & so much to see. Our group wanted a relaxed place with great food & TVs for hockey playoffs. This place provided all that we wanted & more!! The manager Geoff & Tristan (sorry if spelled incorrectly) provided great customer service & great vibes during our time there. We were in MTL for 6 days & we managed to return to Franklins several times either for quick drinks, a night of food & drinks or even just to say Hi while exploring the old port &/or shopping. Highly recommend!
Best place in the old port ! Chill vibe , great deco, nice music ! Tristan the bartender was perfect really great service ! I recommend this place 100%
Super awesome place. Cool vibe, awesome staff, & great poutine & sandwiches. If wandering around St Paul looking for a place with table service that's easy, relatively quick, & relaxing with adult drinks & food for kids - & often not too crowded - this is ur spot.
Couldn't find a spot to eat so just kept walking. Stumbled on this place & was the right call. Really cool aesthetic, & great food. Also played good music with no censorship which was a vibe. Tried a poutine & burger. Highly recommended.
