We're feeling extra crunchy about this great review for Nachos 🧀🔥 Big flavor, serious snack-table swagger, and clearly making an impression. Come try Nachos for yourself!

Here's what it said:

Crispy Chicken Wrap doesn't believe in doing the bare minimum: lightly breaded chicken, Monterey jack & Cheddar cheeses, lettuce, tomato, applewood smoked bacon, scallions, and honey mustard aioli all wrapped in a flour tortilla like it knows it's the main event. 🌯😏

Stop by Franklin Tap and get Crispy Chicken Wrap.

Mediterannean Quinoa Salad is proof that a tavern favorite doesn't have to play it heavy—bright, satisfying, and fully capable of stealing the spotlight from your usual order. 🥗😏 Stop by Franklin Tap and give Mediterannean Quinoa Salad the attention it clearly came for.

Buffalo Chicken Wrap brings the right kind of chaos: grilled chicken tossed with buffalo sauce, cooled down with ranch, then wrapped up with tomato and lettuce in a flour tortilla. Bold, messy-minded, and absolutely worth making your next move at Franklin Tap. 🌯🔥

Stop by Franklin Tap and get the Buffalo Chicken Wrap.
