I ordered a Bahn Mi Rice Bowl and it was delicious with the right amount of spice and seasoning. I was a little worried about the level of chili in the tofu but was assured Franklins typically keeps it fairly mild...and it was. The fresh mint was lovely mixed with the jasmine rice, carrot ribbons and finely chopped mushrooms. The chili peach jam was a perfect sauce. The restaurant has a lot of character with artwork on the walls and lots of booth seating as well as tables and chairs. There is also outdoor seating at picnic tables at "The Hut" and the Quarantiki Room open seasonally. Make sure to check out the store next door, which offers a wide variety of gift items as well as their craft brews.

I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

The place is still opening up slowly, and with the COVID safety measures in place, there isn't anywhere to sit, so it's more of a take-out place. However, the food is great! The serving sizes for some dishes are on the smaller side, but the flavor of the food makes up for this. We had the Dominican breakfast (mangu, salami, egg, longaniza, and cheese), steak, rice with guandules, sancocho (soup), mondongo, cheese empanada, beef empanada, and chicken empanada. Everything was tasty and the service was very attentive and friendly. Pro tip: call ahead of time to place your order.

Mixt is an absolute gem…read more I like the variety of food stalls that are available to visitors; La Michoacana is my usual go to as it offers some great Mexican fare. The other stalls offer seafood, burgers, wings, and pizza options. There's 4-6 food options today and have plenty of variety for those with specific tastes. Mixt is a GREAT social venue; it has a huge U shaped bar that easily seats 25+ guests. The weekday and Sunday all-day happy hours offer some great prices on cocktails, beer, wine, and mocktails. The bartenders are always friendly and attentive. Because the bar is so large, I've never had trouble finding a seat for my group of friends. Perhaps the best use of Mixt is as an event and meetup space; I've been to several gatherings and events here and have had a great experience every time. There is a second floor open space which is perfect for a group of 20+ folks. We've also set up impromptu events around the large bar area; there are so many seating options, it was easy to occupy 10-15 seats without monopolizing the space. Mixt also hosts some really great events; we've been for Halloween bingo and Christmas music bingo. They do a really great job of pulling the local community into their space to enjoy food, drinks, and togetherness. Parking can sometimes be tricky -- there is a small free parking garage that fits about 10 cars. If you're not part of the lucky 10, be prepared to park in the nearby neighborhood and walk a block or two. It's not the worst parking, but a larger garage would be useful. Looking forward to my next visit to Mixt!

As of today, my favorite restaurant is Big Fish. I find myself getting their small fish fry over and over again. The meal comes with different types of fish and they are all seasoned well. The service is also quick and friendly. I've been to MiXt for a couple of events in their upstairs area and that space is nice for hosting small or medium sized events. The bar is also a nice touch and the drinks are good. I've been here many times when the bar is packed out and it seems like a great time!! There are plenty of tables and outlets so this is probably a comfy coworking space in the daytime. There are a few parking spaces in the connected garage and there is free street parking in the surrounding neighborhood.
