The Franklin - Restaurant in Jersey City - 159 New York Ave, USA

We found the Franklin restaurant by accident. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy, and the staff is very attentive. When I requested eggs Benedict without bacon, the chef personally came to us, suggesting a replacement with mushrooms or avocado. The food is delicious. Typically, when you choose a salad as a side, it's just chopped greens, but here they brought a complete salad with cherry tomatoes, greens, and sauce. Very delicious. The prices are decent. $62 for 3 people with 3 dishes and coffee. Definitely worth visiting when you are in Jersey City.

Very nice place in the Heights. Brunch is definitely their thing. If you are in the area do not miss out on this place. Food is good, atmosphere is very nice and service is great: staff is very attentive and helpful. Freshly squeeze juices are really good!

Very nice and cozy place to enjoy a good meal. Food and coffee are excellent. The staff is friendly and attentive. The atmosphere makes you really enjoy the whole dining experience. The only thing we can suggest to improve is the service time. It took almost 30 minutes to serve us and we had to ask for our coffee to be refilled (Even though there were only two other customers in the entire establishment). Details that definitely reduce the quality of a place like this. But overall it was a good experience and we recommend it.

Excellent food and quiet, comfy vibes. Jersey City is full of amazing restaurants and is honestly a food capital of the US, so this place might get missed on lists of top restaurants, but it's worth a visit. The Franklin has the best cacio e pepe in North Jersey. I've been here about ten times. BYOB and if you forget to bring your drinks just walk a block to pick something up and you'll be back before your apps have been served. Outdoor seating can be good or bad depending on the time of day, since Franklin is a busy route and thoroughfare. It was better when they had pandemic seating on NY Ave.

As a local , I frequent this place . Either dine I , take out or Uber eats. Today, to start off my new year I wanted eggs Benedict, and where better than here in this area. The waitress seemed a little overwhelmed , even tho there were only 4 tables. We ordered and then more people came in. Had our coffees and OJ and 20 minutes after our order was taken, she came and said she lost our ticket and needed our order again. I was upset seeing the place is now full(table of 9 next to us) and my order is going in after that. I decided to take my losses and just ask for the check. With no hesitation or apology she proceeded to charge me $15 for 2 coffees and an orange juice. The least she could have done was try to entice my to stay and eat something at a compensated price or something similar. I don't blame it all on her for the last time we were there the same waitress was alone as well. Seems like a management issue and training issue as well . She was not prepared to handle the situation. I wanted to say that this was a very disappointing first meal of the year . Done with this place sorry

1st time to this place. Very nice. Short ribs could use more rich gravy, but still good. Spouse said Bolognese was delicious. Good polite service. Recommended.

Unfortunate. I live locally. I’ve celebrated my birthday every year here. However, they prefer to book a private event over their already made reservations. I understand it’s business but letting your loyal clients know 2 days before your 20 people reservation is cancelled due a NEW private event is so unprofessional. They’ve forever lost loyal customers.

I’ve been to Franklin for brunch and it was decent. But me and my friends went to dinner last night. We had wild mushroom risotto, shrimp pasta. Absolutely disappointed!! The taste of risotto was like jasmine rice with cheese. We were so hungry we ate it all and the portions were extremely small. I cannot believe for 27$ they gave very small portions. We all had to order each person a dessert in order to fill our stomachs. If you plan on going to Franklin go for brunch not dinner.
