"Second stop here. I had the Spicy Bacon Ranch Burger with fries. It was one of the best smoked burgers I have had in a while and it was cooked to perfection for medium rare. Fries were excellent. Only thing that could have been better was the temperature of the barely wine…it was luke warm at best and needed to be served in chilled glass or the temperature adjusted on the taps as the other sample I tried was also almost room temperature."

"This is a middle of the road restaurant. The food is okay for bar food, nothing impressive, but the price for the food is a little high for the quality food you get. We went at night so the atmosphere was dark you may have a better experience in the day when you can see the views. We did have a great waitress who was very attentive."

"First time at this solid eatery, easily the best dining I've had in Franklin. We were greeted by Kylely a super friendly hostess who asked us if we preferred booth or table. She explained they specialize in craft beer and Hard Truth (Indiana made) cocktails. She offered free samplings of the Hard Truth liquors. I tried the creamed coconut and bourbon -- loved them both but opted for the Porter beer which was a 16 Oz pour and delicious! Then Holly came over immediately to take our orders. We opted for the 16" pizza to have leftovers to take home. The pizza and breadsticks with beer cheese side was a good choice. The thin crust was excellent. My date had the Hard Truth Gin & Tonic. I had a taste and gotta say the gin is delicious. The service we received from Holly was top drawer. What a sweet, competent and engaged waitperson she is. The atmosphere / decor was also excellent with a view of the golf course. The only thing I could find wrong with the place is that the faucet in the ladies room was hard to turn off and on but the sink and cabinet was cool. They should think about changing out the faucet. The sink looked like brass and gave the ladies room an elevated look though I think a place that great should also ditch the pink soap in plastic dispenser and upgrade it too. That's not a complaint just a small suggestion. Holly really made our visit special and is an asset to the business. I'm definitely going back and the menu offerings made me want to try everything. It was the perfect place and actually doesn't cost more than fast food does these days."

"Food was good depends on what you get. Nachos could be better.. a bit dry and several chips no toppings. The pretzel was great. The smores brownie great. The macaroni was ok. The bloody Mary was terrible and the beer is good. Drinks are expensive so ask before you buy for price. 1 drink was $14."
