The Waitress (Summer), was a gem but the rest of the staff and the other regulars to the bar was not kind and very racist towards my friend and myself, which we both are BIPOC. The regular patrons kept making remarks about who gave us the right to sit at the bar and why are we laughing so much considering we didn't buy that many drinks. We felt uncomfortable the moment we walked through the door. If you're not White, please be careful if you're going. This was my first and last time. read more

Standard pub food which is decent but you have to try their breakfast. Massive portions and quite tasty. They didn't have any coffee the morning I ate here which was disappointing, but the food was great. If you're really hungry and like hollandaise sauce, try the breakfast poutine. So good! read more

Had a dinner party for a 40 th birthday. Service and food was fantastic. Best wings and nachos.

The Franklin House was built in 1855 as the private residence of Peter Douglas, who in 1859 went on to sell it to Bennet Franklin. In 1877 the building was converted to a Hotel and Public House which eventually in 1910 under new ownership was renamed "Queen's Hotel". In 1927 it ceased to operate as a hotel with the enforcement of the Canada Temperance Act, but has continued to be used for commercial purposes. The Franklin House has now completely renovated and serves as a bar, pub, sport bar (NHL, NFL, UFC...) and a gathering place for the locals! Love the patio here and with the heated outdoor lamps, you can even enjoy a drink when the weather gets a little chilly. According to sources, the ghost of a young woman named Jessie has purportedly haunted the grounds since the mid-19th century, and her presence is still felt. If you looking for a place to chill with your friends in Streetsville, The Franklin House just might be the one! read more

I've came here a few times but because of Paint Nite (which they host upstairs, large and spacious area so I think it's a good place to host something if you have a large group of people). During the painting event, you're able to order food so I just got a regular poutine. It was a while ago but I remember it tasting pretty good - even my mom said that as well. I came back recently and I was debating between the butter chicken poutine or the cajun bites one. Waitress suggested butter chicken because the cook who was in that night makes it the best. IT WAS GOOD. I really liked it. Lots of flavour and not too spicy. I'm not sure what size I ended up getting (I said S but it looked really big lol). Was reaaaaaallly greasy but thats expected cuz its butter chicken. There are food specials on the chalkboard which I wanted to try but I wanted the poutine more. I'll def be coming back again. There's so many more things I wanna try! read more

It's Streetsville's version of Cheers. Considering how insular this village feels on the best of days, I must say that it was quite refreshing to walk into an establishment that wasn't so... pretentious. When you come into the Franklin House, you'll know what to expect - no-nonsense drinks and food, that "home-y" pub feel and solid service. Can't ask for much more than that. I arrived here for a friend's post-election reception, and soon found myself up on the second floor of the building, which serves as an event space and overflow for the main bar area. Much like the Crooked Cue in Port Credit, there's an upstairs bar, stage and plenty of seating for patrons, but I wasn't here to sit - I came to mingle, and mingle I did with plenty of like-minded civic personalities. My $25 "contribution" to the event (used to help the organizer recoup his campaign debt) was rewarded in the form of platters of wraps. Though I'm unsure if the wraps were made in-house or brought in, the ones I did eat were quite tasty, filled with generous amounts of ham (or tuna), lettuce and tomato. What I wasn't too big on was the upstairs service. A waitress initially appeared to be working the bar area, but disappeared for the rest of the night, forcing me to go downstairs and order a drink. It was here I saw that on quiet nights, this is a pretty great place for a date or peaceful conversation, and there were a few couples milling around enjoying a drink and watching a sports game. Franklin House is one of those "village staples" that knows what it's good at and has been doing so for a very long time (since the 1850's, apparently!). Worth a visit if you're in the village. read more

We came to The Franklin House for Paintnite but figured to also grab some food before the event. The food was alright and is what you would expect from standard pub fare. Wednesday nights are their wing nights (for 80 cents a piece). A pretty good deal considering the massiveness of their wings. They were nice and meaty and were lightly dusted for an extra breaded texture. What I didn't like was how much sauce they had on their wings. I would definitely recommend to ask them to lightly coat them. They were completely smothered and doused and was too overpowering. The sauces was the extra thick kind. We went with BBQ and honey garlic half/half and both were on the sweet side. Too much sauce meant that the wings weren't as crispy as I would have liked. The house salad was also fairly standard with normal spring greens though I had hoped for better tomatoes and red onions that weren't so overpowering. We added grilled chicken and they weren't the greatest either as they were fairly dry read more

Great ambiance:The building and establishment date back to 1850's! There are regulars, students, and old timers. Gives the place a bit of the "Cheers" vibe. Nice live entertainment and stage certain days of the week. Food is well prepared contemporary Pub fare. Loved the buffalo wings, chicken & nachos, and poutine. Great breakfast and brunch options, especially the omelet and breakfast skillet. read more

I came here on wing night where the humongous wings were $0.80 each and boneless wings were $0.60 each. When I say humongous I mean 3 inches long wings. It was fabulous. The minimum order was 10 which wasn't a bad deal. When we asked for dusted and they weren't as breaded as other places. The skin still had a nice crisp though but we had to ask for more sauce, especially for the honey garlic. The wings aren't tossed but drizzled on. We also got chipotle BBQ as well, both sauces were tasty. Our hostess/waitress was really nice and served us well. I will definitely be returning here when I have a wing craving! read more

2.5/5 A group of us celebrated my friend's birthday at The Franklin House last night. The majority of us tried out their prix fixed menu which is a 3 course meal for $25 (excluding tax and gratuity). I definitely shouldn't have snacked before coming because I barely touched my calamari appetizer. I had to save room for the main course -- the medium rare prime rib. The prime rib came out without au jus, cooked as medium (instead of medium-rare) and had the HUGEST piece of bread I have ever seen. The meat looked dry and it did taste how it looked. My sister who is a huge fan of prime rib didn't even finish hers because she didn't enjoy it. I wasn't surprised that their prime rib wasn't the best because it isn't featured in their daily menu. For dessert me and my bf chose the apple blossom. Dessert was pretty good. We celebrated my friend's birthday on the second floor sharing it with a group of loud people sitting beside us...which was pretty annoying. Around 9:30 pm a live musician began to perform as well. read more

This place is small and lackluster. Nothing good and nothing bad. I came Sunday afternoon before st. Pattys day and it was dead. Ok well all of streetsville was dead. We tried to go up stairs but it was locked off. They had green beer but that's all I remember. I didn't eat here read more

Three of us sat on the patio two days ago and enjoyed a beer and lunch. The food was excellent, the service great. I had a Caesar wrap and Caesar salad; great salad with huge pieces of real bacon. My mum had the Greek salad which had a lot of Feta on the top; great. My brother had the Franklin Burger with fries; great home-made burger. We used the bathroom inside; much newer than I expected from an old restaurant. It's a typical old, small, somewhat dated pub on the inside that's why I only gave it 3 stars but we really enjoyed our lunch n the patio. read more

Franklin House is a favourite place of some people I know so I end up here fairly often. It's comfy and warm, and the servers are good. There's an upstairs area for the live music which is nice for me because I prefer a quieter pub to a loud one. The downfall of this place is that the food is only just ok. I had a Reuben and there was no sauerkraut, and the sauce was just mayonnaise as far as I could tell. My husband enjoyed his ribs (which I also tasted), but again, while decent they weren't special by any means. The beer selection is small, so don't expect craft brews--that said, it doesn't pretend to be a place that serves fancy beer, so that's totally fine. Anyhow, Franklin House is nice enough as a place to be well looked after for a basic pint and watching a game, but keep expectations for cuisine in check. read more

Streetsville is rapidly becoming another favourite spot in Mississauga. While I still have nothing but love for Port Credit, the bars, restaurants and shops of Streetsville have piqued my interest and drawn me into their quite excellence. Last night following a successful dinner up the road at Saucy I joined a group of Yelpers at The Franklin House for a night cap. Now my second visit, I was more than pleased to take up on their great patio with my pals. Sparing you the history lesson on this place (I'd kindly refer you to Jennifer K's review for that), FH looks older but I prefer to call it character. With 2 floors and 2 patios (upper and street level) this is a great spot to come for some local drinks or to watch the game. Their beer selection is fairly standard (no local Craft Beers), and I haven't attempted their fare yet, so I'll be sure to do so and adjust this review accordingly. They are likely ready for a few small upgrades but for a local pub, it suits me just fine. If in the area this summer, snipe a seat on the patio, bring a book if alone, or just enjoy the quite nights of Streetsville read more

The patio is quite nice, and they clearly are a hit with a fair group of local regulars. Service is friendly if a bit hit and miss (for instance no check up on how the food was) Beer and food is a decent price if not great. Beer selection is pretty much standard domestics, no craft type or even craft want to be large brands. The food was ok, not great but not bad. Had a ruben which was pretty good, the fries could be better, they were a bit cold, but also they had weirdly crunchy salt. I would guess pickling salt (not kosher or sea salt I use those at home, this was way crunchier like salt flavoured pop rocks). However for a pint and patio...good idea! read more

I came here with my co-workers to celebrate an uneventful Black Friday. The interior looked inviting. I had a Rickard's Red ($6) and the shepherd's pie ($12). I was quite disappointed. The shepherd's pie was essentially hamburger helper underneath baked potato scraps. The price is too high for the quality. read more

THE OWNER IS A JERK. Ive had a problem here so many times and so have my friends. The bouncer knew my as i had been in many many times before but this time i only had my health card but he would not accept it as ID and after getting the manager he told me to get off his property..... There is always ridiculous lines to get in, and then once in another huge line to get upstairs...... Dont recommend this place to anyone. read more

Wandering around Streetsville on a sunny quiet Sunday. This clean and mature-looking pub looks like a rockin' neighbourhood hangout as I serendipitously stumbled in by chance while looking for lunch. Wandering through their menu of pub and brunch food, was disappointed by their limited and standard selection of beer. Naturally I stumbled on some Steam Whistle. And a pulled pork sandwich. Wandering my way into the meal... holy crap, their portions are huge! I was hungry like a wolf coming in, but their thick and juicy foot-long sandwich and overdose of fries was more than enough. Their huge front-end patio looks like a great place to stumble upon some friends or eat some local village main street scenery. read more

So I am here for the first time. Had a few drinks and food. The bartender, Keirra, and the server, Jessie, both extended excellent, courteous service. The flat bread with chicken was excellent. Pricing was good. I would come here again. Overall good experience read more

Consistency is the recipe for success. The Franklin house needs this recipe badly! Can you at the Franklin house please make sure Mondays are treated the same as a Friday. Execution of your plates are important. It's tough to be a regular and enjoy a specific dish when I don't know if I'll get the good version or the tasteless soggy version. I would have gone somewhere else had I known. read more

Nice clean place, lots of tv's around to watch the game, food was good and the portion you get for the price you pay is great. Try the fired pickles, they look like french fries and you get alot read more

Nice place - much better than it used to be run under older management a couple years back. Still a little dull, food is okay and prices aren't bad. Service was a little slow at times, though it seemed to be more of a staffing issue rather than a waitress issue. I'd like to come back in the summer on the patio, as that seems to be a selling point for a lot of people. read more

My work friends and I been exploring Streetsville area to find good places to eat and drink and The Franklin House is not one of them. The quality of the food was poor and not fresh (cucumbers should be green, right?) and the service was, how shall I say it... Not so great. Where do I begin. We walked in, stood at the host area and there was a bartender and waitress chatting behind what looked like an empty bar. Took some time for them to acknowledge us and when they did, they said just sit anywhere. Ok, it was a nice night out and we sat outside in the porch. The porch was nice but where was the waitress? Still at the inside bar chatting away until I asked if we can get menus. The waitress obliged and finally came out. She was wearing see through yoga pants and boots. Interesting. She seemed to have gravitated to other tables as it seemed they were her friends. We ordered beers and some apps. I had the french onion soup which I couldn't eat. It looked like french onion soup but it had some alkaline taste to it. Had a greek salad but the lettuce and cucumbers were off color. The buffalo wings were actually pretty good. If you haven't been here, try it out. I would just come here for the beer and patio. I caution on the food and don't expect stellar service. read more

My favourite Streetsville pub! So much character and charm on the outside but classy, comfortable and clean on the inside with lots of seating areas and chair options to choose from. Drinks are always tasty and consistent. My favourite is the Jesse Juice cocktail recommended to myself and a girlfriend last summer, now we get it every visit it's so good! Love the balcony and patio, great live music upstairs on the weekend, sometimes we even get up and dance! Love the food too, Caesar salad is so unique and tasteful, fries are crispy, nachos are a little light on the cheese but the veggies are so fresh and tasty. My franklin favourite would have to be the wings, best I've ever had so crispy! The staff is so friendly and smiley and always makes sure you're enjoying your visit. I work up the street and I'm always sending my clients to franklin house and they're never disappointed! read more

A surprise find...good pub food reasonable pricing...love the lively band on music night. Loud for a date but great for when over got nothing to say.... Enjoyable atmosphere and food. read more

Was not a big fan of this place. Service and food were both mediocre and it is so dark inside. Not a great atmosphere. Would recommend other pubs in Streetsville over this place. Would never come here again with so many better options around. read more

I like the location and the all, but the fries I had were probably the worst fries I have ever had in my life. Soggy, dripping in oil, bitter-ish, not seasoned....i'm still confused about it.. Had a cider which was warm and a bit flat. Other people seemed to have fun, maybe it was just my fries ...and my cider ... :) read more

I showed up at 11:49am and the front door was locked. Google maps shows that you're supposed to be open at 11am. Menu on your website for lunch shows it starts at 11:30am. I had already paid for parking for 2 hours. What a waste of my time. read more

Mississauga natives find this establishment located in streetsville the go to spot for a casual night out with buddies. And so in turn, it is incredibly overrated. It's cramped, visually boring and has horrible music and service. There are much better bars to go to in the sauga area that blow this place out of the water. I really tried to like it, even after I gave it it's 3rd shot. Its one of those "we get business regardless so we don't care" places. read more

Franklin House is always crowded so they must have something good to offer. Perhaps the patio is nice, and it's good for a drink, but the patio was full and we ended up inside. It was cramped, there were only 3 or 4 other people inside, but it was terrible. We were seated off the bar, between the kitchen door and the door out to the patio. The music was so loud we could not hold a conversation. They did not have the beer I like, or my second, or even my third choice. The waitress was not overly friendly, but she was. What made this such a terrible experience aside from the atmosphere was the food. We ordered flat bread appetizer, cheese and bacon, and it was not good, no flavour, sorta dry and bland. For dinner, I ordered stuffed yorkshire pudding. What little bit of actual roast that was in there was dry, definitely reheated from frozen. The yorkshire pudding itself was gummy and tough, the vegetables tasted reheated and bland. My companion ordered a burger and fries, and the fries were awful, soggy, no seasoning, tasted like they had been fried in old oil, and the burger was dry and had no flavour. Our bill for 2 beer, and 2 meals and the flat bread was almost 60 dollars. We left and went to Burrito Boyz and got something else as we were still hungry. read more

Great food, excellent service. Enjoy the patio in the summer.... HOWEVER the pricing of the wine is rediculous. One glass costing more than a bottle is unacceptable. read more

I'm not sure why I would put a deposit down to reserve tables that could possibly be empty all night. I'm honestly appalled by the lack of customer service from the owner, Greg. My friends and I like going to this bar, especially the upstairs as some of us smoke, and it tends to be less crowded than the downstairs, but this is not the first issue we have had with management. Greg, the only reason anyone goes to your bar is because it is local and convenient. There is nothing spectacular about it. The way you operate this bar gives it 2 stars at best. You should be a lot nicer to your patrons... I offered to pay a deposit with the guarantee that my guests get upstairs, and you denied that offer. I offered to allow others upstairs, and you also denied that. I will not pay a cent to have my guests wait downstairs, 10 mins to get a drink, and wait in line to get upstairs like sardines in a can (fire hazard!). On the upside, the food here is not bad. I would not go there specifically for the food, but if you are hungry while you're there, you won't be disappointed with the pub food. read more

Excellent Ambience and good food. Great prices and portion sizes. The patio is quite nice.

I would just like to say i now understand why so many people are saying the customer is not always right!!!! My diner was going well all night until this table started complaining about the service. We were not served by the same server, but i think her name was Michelle because she would constantly check on every table out on the patio, including the one that wasn't hers, which was us. she introduced herself and made sure we had everything we needed. i think she catered to our table more than our own server did. which is fine because some people are just genuinely caring. anyways this lady started barking at the server that her food took to long, 35 mins for food to come out is unacceptable and that the server shouldn't be in the service industry because she has been in it for SO many years and blah blah blah. I give praise to the server, who remained calm and asked if there is anything she could do to help. i was in my seat and i wanted to get up and give this lady a rude awakening. i would never speak to another human being like that. i give props to the server for remaining so calm and actually getting the owner to deal with it. HERE IS WHERE I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO APPLAUD THE OWNER. HE CAME OUT TRIED TO HELP AND GOT THE SAME TREATMENT THE SERVER DID. THEN HE POLITELY TOLD THAT SORRY OF AN EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING NOT TO COME BACK, I TRULY REGRET NOT APPLAUDING. THIS LADY JUST WANTED HER FOOD FOR FREE.... I WOULD HAVE CALLED THE COPS AND GOTTEN HER ARRESTED. AND TO TOP IT OFF, THE SERVER CONTINUED WORKING, SMILING AND BEING PLEASANT TO EVERYONE, INCLUDING US, THE TABLE THAT SHE WAS NOT EVEN SERVING, SO THANK YOU FRANKLIN HOUSE FOR HAVING SUCH A CARING STAFF AND TO EVERYONE ELSE, A SERVER IS NOT YOUR SLAVE. read more
