Franklin Lakes Country Cafe

Cozy place (the restaurant itself not the service) and the food is fast. The woman who owns the joint is nice and efficient. Some of the other staff is hit or miss. You can tell they’re not experienced with customer service, and you get a sense they don’t really care—just collecting a paycheck for a temporary gig.

My order has been wrong with no suggestion they make a new, correct one. I had what looked like avocado on the side of a dish that wasn’t supposed to have it. Sometimes they have certain ingredients; sometimes they don’t. Sometimes they’re fresh; sometimes they aren’t.

All in all, I give this place a C+/B-. Go in with the expectation that there may be a few hiccups, and you’ll be fine. It’s probably a new establishment and they’re learning. It’s a pretty good experience overall, and you feel like you’re genuinely in a country cafe.

What a great place. I moved into the area almost 5 yrs ago. When I pass the place I say I have to stop. Well I did and so happy I did. Such a friendly staff as I had questions. Food was great, I mean great. I mean this is really a gem that should be visited . I'm looking forward to my next visit already.

Small but cozy inside. I like space, we sat outside at a picnic table.

**Look at your bill. Their system doesn't allow you to put a tip AFTER they run your card. Make sure they tax the food total and NOT your tip. The woman helping me did do the right thing after I pointed it out

Delicious food, quaint atmosphere, outdoor dining, and the staff is very friendly! I got a Roasted Pepper and Mozarella omlette and the person with me got the Cowboy Waffles. My omlette was delicious! The waffles were slightly overcooked but still pretty good!
