Ann's Restaurant — Restaurant in Franklin

Walking into Ann’s gives the feeling of goodness! You’re looking forward to great food from a tight small space.

The place was packed when we arrived, a good sign! The bus person greeted us promptly; taking our drink order.

They have two levels of seating, upstairs is for larger groups.

Looking over the menu the prices are reasonable. Soda is $1.99 like a majority of restaurants. I drank water - free!

The drinks arrive in plastic glasses with advertisements from area businesses!

This style is permanent rather than placemats which are able to be cycled once a month.

The “waitress” visited the table and I asked how long the advertisements were used before changing to new glasses. She said every couple of years, which tells me she doesn’t know.

The water glasses, clear, have different advertisements than the soda, red, glasses.

While admiring the restaurant and all of its light from the entire walls of glass, an article on the wall says Ann’s gives new opportunities to recovering addicts. How awesome!

We arrived at 10:18am, Ordered drinks at 10:22am, ordered food at 10:30am, Food arrived at 10:55am - once food arrived the waitress never returned to check on us! Check arrived after request at 11:15am Departure at 11:21am

The gravy has way to much pepper (spicy). The egg sandwich is cooked perfectly!

The biscuits (in biscuits and gravy) are not made from scratch based on taste, hard to explain but its doughy bland.

The fried biscuits are coated in brown sugar, powder sugar, and comes with apple butter together or separate they’re delicious!

This place brings the flavor to the table, but they can’t cook eggs with runny yolk and the whites done (medium well) but not many places can. Cooking eggs is about timing and proper heat.

Over all a great visit, the sounds of happiness ring thought-out with crying kids, and chatter among...

Ann's Restaurant in Franklin, Indiana, was buzzing when I rolled in. Place was packed, and I snagged the last table just as the lunch rush really hit. Gotta give 'em credit, even with the crowd, my server was quick. Ordered the beef and noodles special, figuring it'd be a classic comfort dish. Sides of mashed potatoes and green beans rounded it out.

Now, it looked the part, just like my own beef tips and noodles I make at home. But, man, was it bland. Everything, and I mean everything, needed a serious dose of salt. Noodles, beef, potatoes, gravy – all flat. Only the green beans had any flavor, and they were decent. I know they cater to an older crowd, but a little seasoning wouldn't hurt.

Service was alright, no complaints there. Food came out quick, about ten minutes, which is impressive for how busy they were. Place was clean, nothing to complain about there. Ambiance? Pure casual diner, nothing fancy.

Overall, it was a 3-star experience. I'd probably give Ann's another shot, but I'd definitely try something else...

Really really great restaurant!! They were super busy when we got there, but we were seated and served incredibly fast. The food was excellent, even though I couldn’t finish it. My mom had the spinach salad with French dressing, and I had the bacon ranch wrap with chips. Now I’m not usually a huge fan of chips, but WOW they were probably my favorite thing. The staff was very friendly, once again despite being very busy. Our food was out to in probably about 15 minutes, and I think our table was cleaned before we were even out the door! I will absolutely be going back next time I’m passing through. My only complaint was that the floor definitely needed some cleanup, but in the middle of lunch I can understand how that is difficult. I also think it’s worth noting that they had a pretty large parking lot, with lots of street parking options as well, which is sometimes a rarity with local...
