The Willard Restaurant,Pizzeria,Bar à Franklin

The Willard in Franklin is a historic restaurant located near the courthouse square. It offers a wide selection of food from sandwiches, wings, pizza, and more. The decor and history of the building is a lot of fun, and the outdoor seating is pleasant with overhead fans. The menu has something for everyone and the beer selection is good. Prices are reasonable and the portions are generous. The service can be slow at times, and finding a table on weekends can be difficult due to lack of a host or hostess. The food is generally average, with some dishes being better than others. The grilled cheese wasn't melted, the steak salad looked like it was put together by a child, and the pork was dry. The use of styrofoam plates for pizza and appetizers is also a bit disappointing. Overall, The Willard is a decent spot for a quick lunch or dinner. It's centrally located and the atmosphere is pleasant. However, the food and service could use some improvement.
