They have both indoor and outdoor seating, cute decor inside and a variety of things you can get on the menu. I was with a couple gluten free friends and they were happy to find options for them as well. The grilled cheese was good and hit the spot. It typically comes with chips but I upgraded to fries, which were served in a cute basket. The menu says nothing is fried in oil, so I'm guessing they use an air fryer? They seemed hand cut, but I'm not totally sure about that. We didn't get dessert but they also have boba, ice cream and coffee! Definitely a great lunch spot when driving through Shelbyville.

Describing this as a place for comfort food sets expectations perfectly for this restaurant on the…read moreoutskirts of Shelbyville. It is a simple, hometown Midwestern style spot that reminds me of the places I used to go with my parents in the 60s and 70s. The diminutive, squared-off standalone facade centered in a small parking lot exudes that homey vibe. And the interior is exactly what you'd expect based on the exterior. The simple but well-kept tables and booths are typical of Mid-American diners. It was our daughter's birthday and comfort food was what she wanted. There were five of us (four adults and one child) so we called ahead. They were gracious enough under the circumstances to set aside a larger 6-person corner table for us to allow us to be seated right away despite it being a relatively busy Friday evening at 6 PM. Our server, Wendi, did a great job taking care of us. She was prompt and attentive without being intrusive. The menu was chicken-centric as the restaurant name clearly implies. One intriguing side item that seemed to be a signature for them were the fried biscuits. They were essentially fried pieces of dough sprinkled with powdered sugar with apple butter spread that we used as a dip. They were memorable and made nice starters. All of our mains were, of course, chicken dinners. Dark and white meat ensembles were both available. There was a nice variety of sides and our party opted for various combos that included onion rings, green beans, cottage cheese, baked potato and mashed potatoes. And of course, American-style dinner rolls accompanied each meal. It was all very tasty. I'll also note that their coffee was reasonably good. My wife, our 4-yr-old granddaughter and I were able to split one three-piece dinner making this a fabulous value. The total bill with food, drinks, tax and tip was $85. At just over $21 per adult, it was a good value by today's standards. I'll gladly give this place five stars. They're unpretentious, deliver exactly what you're led to expect, and they pull it off very well. We'll go back if we have the chance.

Quite possibly the best fried chicken I have ever had. Go here, order chicken, enjoy and tip well!!!!! This was after dining at St Elmo the night before. St E was mid

I hate to shit on a local business but there are much better breakfast options within a 5-10 minute drive. I probably won't be back.

I'm a sucker for diners and this hit all my needs, coffee, eggs, potatoes and crispy bacon. The menu has all day breakfast, and lunch options. Prices are super reasonable and the staff was so friendly - I'm sure they generally know everyone so it was a nice atmosphere. You seat yourself, a server will grab your order and the food came out very fast. Eggs were flavorful and the bacon was crispy and not soggy(and I didnt ask for extra crispy this time).

The first time at the Corner Stone bakery we walked out after not getting our meal after waiting for an hour, so this time we're not getting fooled again. The difference at Storie's is our server Kelli recognized the issue, and told us there was a kitchen issues after our dinner was not out after 20 minutes. Kelli told us what was happening, gave us free pie and took our drinks off our bill and asked if we wanted it to go. Our dinner was finally ready after 35 minutes, so we boxed it up and went home. Kelli apologized multiple times, and that's how service is supposed to happen. The pie was fantastic, apple and coconut cream. Fish was very good, shrimp was good, mashed potatoes and corn ok. Tartar sauce, yummy. Thanks to Kelli for making our long wait

Ann's has been in my radar for years. The little cafe off the Square is always packed with locals…read more Ann's claims to be the oldest restaurant in Franklin, opening in 1952. The cafe is now owned by Diane, Ann's daughter. The tables are packed tightly together, but we were happy to get the last seats in the house. Nostalgic photos of Franklin cover the walls. The place is loud but with a great positive energy. People are small-town friendly and talk between tables as they enjoy their biscuits and gravy. We cajoled with two regulars who told funny stories. Our server, Gill, was quick to the table and friendly. He checked on us several times to see if we needed anything. The menu is a mix of traditional breakfast options, sandwiches, salads and wraps. Prices are reasonable. Food came out quickly. My husband ordered their hand breaded tenderloin with fries. The tenderloin was massive with a great browned breading, served on a Kaiser roll. The pork was tender and juicy. It was a perfect tenderloin, worthy of the Indiana Tenderloin Trail. The hand-cut fries are lightly breaded, crispy and hot. There was an up-charge for the fries, but they were so good and worth it. It was rainy outside, so I had a bowl of the daily soup - broccoli cheddar. The soup was hot, thick, creamy with lots of broccoli and cheese and stuck to my ribs. My soup was served with packs of saltines. Free street parking is available if you're lucky to grab a spot. Well worth the drive to Franklin. Ps. They are closed Saturday and Sunday!
