While visiting some friends they suggested Graff's Tavern and now I know why. The atmosphere was a casual sports bar with friendly staff. It wasn't too busy for a Wednesday afternoon so we got to sit anywhere we wanted. All of the menu options sounded really good but I opted for the fried jumbo shrimp with a side of their stingin honey garlic sauce and ranch. The shrimp were fried to perfection and the fries were crispy on the outside. Two people could have easily ate off of this one dish. If I'm ever in this small town again it's a must that I stop in.

Our server Tammy was excellent. It was a full restaurant but with her professionalism, she catered to us ( a party of 8) like we were the only table. She is a real asset to the company. Our out of town guest were quite impressed. Of course the food was excellent also. Thank you Graffs

Great meal! The elk burger was delicious and the fries were the best I have ever had... crispy and not greasy at all. The chicken on my house salad was amazing, too! Look forward to a return visit.

Best American Sports Bar and Grill in Franklin for sure. Service is fast & friendly. Food was unbelievable! Fresh & delicious menu. Ambiance is cool and relaxing. I highly recommend the sweet & spicy garlic shrimp & chili for starters. The medium hot wings were banging and burgers are the absolute best Ive had anywhere! The chef must be top notch because the ingredients & flavors do not cut corners. $ is super reasonable. If I could eat out every day I would be at Gaff's Tavern! I wasn't a big chili fan until now, just amazing! Thanks!

Who is in the mood for shrimp? Hard to believe that I was able to get shrimp this good in the middle of the mountains! Annie is a phenomenal server and took great care of me. Fun spot inside with lots of options for seating.

Small but mighty! Good food, great ambiance. Definitely a small tarred Gastropub type feel. Great burgers and wings! Good service. Will go back.

Great local spot that's a sports bar, tavern and family friendly restaurant all in one. Service was great, a few fun video games, loads of tvs and sports memorabilia. We shared fried pickles to start and they were yummy. Our burgers were outstanding and cooked to perfection. Only negative was they didn't carry Coke products. Regardless, I would absolutely recommend!

Wish i had an appetite the food smelled great and the jumbo shrimp looked to be quite jumbo ;) Go grab a drink from Graff's and catch the games while you're at it.

We pulled up to Graff's to a lady in the parking lot yelling for someone to give her a cigarette. Strange, but true. If the place hadn't been recommended by locals we might have moved on. However, I'm glad we didn't. For a Tuesday around 6:00 the place was hopping. We got the last table and a menu and settled in to try and decide if this was a restaurant or a bar. It was a bit confusing because we kind of expected bar food, as in fried everything and a hamburger. But no, my daughter had roasted chicken that was so tender you could cut it with a fork. I had the grilled trout that was tasty. Mine came with loads of Brussels sprouts and hers had green beans. It's kind of a mishmash inside and our server got the table numbers wrong so our dinner visited a few other tables before it came to ours, but overall it was good and worth trying again. Maybe getting the bar/restaurant vibe together would help.
