Reviews for Franklins Public House in Palos Heights, IL
Lovely and cozy place. Service was pretty good too! But the food? I ordered short rib sliders, and the ribs was tender but very... dry like it wasn?t made fresh. It looks like a block of rib with sauce on top basically. My boyfriend ordered the Franklinsburger, it was cold and tasteless, he was pretty disappointed. But I like the fries and he liked the pickle, irrelevant but ohwell. Read more
Shrimp tacos are pretty good. If you enjoy them I?d recommend it. Also the turkey cob salad is a good portion.
Nice atmosphere and drinks, but less than stellar food. The cheese curds were great. The pulled pork is advertised as "smoked"... on the menu, but clearly isn't. It tasted like it was braised with maybe some liquid smoke added - or *maybe* done in some sortof conventional oven that wisps in some smoke - but definitely not the flavor or texture one expects when they're orderingsmoked pulled pork.

This place has me hooked! The atmosphere is top notch, the staff is super friendly, and the food is of exceptional quality.... Really enjoyed their Fall Seasonal menu. The open faced turkey sandwhich is piled high with juicy turkey and deli ious stuffing.Then smothered with gravy and served with a baked spiced apple. I will always keep me coming back for that dish!

This place is sharp looking and food and drinks were too. I had the Franklin's brisket I felt that the brisket could have been a... bit more juicier, the outside of looked a dry but didn't taste bad still good wonderful portions, the garlic mash and garlicstringbeans were good as well. I think the brisket needed a better rub or seasoning i dont taste the love. I will give thisplace another try since the food was decent and the wait staff was perfect solid 4. Read more
One of the WORST meals I?ve ever had. Ordered the LEMON GARLIC shrimp appetizer, the only seasoning was the taste of the grill... on the shrimp. The entrees had absolutely no seasoning. If it wasn?t for the overly thick sugar sauce on the short ribs therewouldn?t have been any flavor. When it came to the mash potatoes they were partially mashed with half a potato uncooked at thebottom. The other entree was brisket, no way was this brisket! A good 40% of the slices were fat, again not seasoned and thegarlic green beans weren?t fully cooked. There wasn?t even salt/pepper on the table which was need to add some flavor. Wedidn?t even bother with doggie bags, my dogs get feed better than the $70 slop we got served. If you want to stay in businessPLEASE HIRE SOMEONE WHO CAN COOK! We honestly walked out with upset stomach?s caused by the food. Read more
I just used their room for a baby shower this past Sunday. The word I would use is stress free event. It started with the first... meeting with Aaron to see the room. He was informative accommodating and there were no bogus costs. The food is not onlydelicious but affordable. Every person commented on how great the food was. Our server Hannah took care of a crowd of 22 guestssingle handedly. She was pleasant, fast and simply a rock star! Thank you Franklin house for a baby shower to remember by all! Read more
