The first time coming back into the Franklin inn it was fantastic. The way the waitresses were so helpful to answer all my questions. I got my food on a timely manner. I totally recommend this place.

Every time we travel from St Clair Shores to Bad Axe we have to eat at Franklin Inn. Omg the Prime Rib Buffet is the best in Michigan. I was just texting my son who much we miss Franklin Inn. We use to go a week or two before Christmas to eat the buffet. We can’t wait until we are up in Bad Axe again.
