Found a low-key great spot! We tried the burger and the ribeye steak. The steak was delicious and super juicy—definitely the highlight of the meal, though the burger was tasty too. The atmosphere is really cozy and we had a great time. Highly recommend!

Favorite spot in Secaucus! There are always great weekly specials and where can you find a restaurant that has happy hour every day. The French onion soup on special was just what I needed on the chilly day! I would always recommend The Franklin. Highly recommend their bunch as well.

I have ordered several of their dishes and drinks, and they were all very good.
My favorites were the blackened shrimp with broccoli rabe, cacio e pepe arancini, and beef Bolognese with gnocchi.

Went to brunch and our party of 6 were seated right away. Service was quick and friendly, the waiter even went to speak with Chef Juan if we could have a dish that wasn’t on the brunch menu. We ordered drinks, the limencello spritz was especially delightful, fresh and summery. Each and every plate ordered was fantastic, a visual delight. The fluffiest mushroom omelet with goat cheese on the inside, perfectly seasoned home fries. Waffles and chicken were the best I ever had. French toast with berries and a dusting of coconut. The special request was for an appetizer of octopus and this dish was exceptional. The garlic lime aioli that was drizzled on the octopus was so good that I wish I could take a bottle of it home. Overall, I will be back until I try every dish.

I can not say enough about how great The Franklin Secaucus is! I have been there a few times for brunch and I decided to have my daughter’s Communion brunch here. The Manager, Kelly, was absolutely amazing. She was so nice and organized everything I asked for. Timing was an issue for us and she went above and beyond to help decorate for us. She even took the time to print specialized menus for our brunch. The food was AMAZING. Our waitress, Kaylee (not sure if I’m spelling it correctly) was phenomenal. She was so personable, quick and efficient. Always checking in on us. She was also incredibly kind. My daughter and our guests had the best time and it’s all thanks to the wonderful service we received. We felt so welcome and this truly made my daughter’s Communion day so special. This is one of my absolute favorite restaurants.

As a local, I’ve been coming to this restaurant since it opened and have recommended it to countless friends and family. It used to be one of my favorite spots. I’ve been here dozens of times, celebrated special occasions, and even encouraged my sister to host her daughter’s graduation dinner here earlier this year.
When they first opened, bread was brought to the table automatically. That later changed to bread only being served if you asked for it, which was fine. But during our most recent visit, a large group dinner with a bill over $900, we were surprised to see a $3 charge for each bread basket. It’s not about the $3. It’s about the principle. It felt petty, especially considering the size of our bill and the fact that bread was never charged in the past.
What made things worse was when I asked our server how a certain drink tasted. She brought me a small sample in a shot glass, which I thought was just a courtesy, and I later saw I was charged $5 for it with no warning. Again, it’s not the money, it’s the lack of transparency that was disappointing.
I suspect there has been a change in management. The food quality has slipped too. What once felt like a neighborhood gem now feels like a place cutting corners and chasing profits instead of taking care of its customers.
You didn’t just lose one customer over a $3 bread basket. You lost several. I won’t be recommending this place anymore. They did refund the $5 for the drink sample but told me the bread has always been charged. That’s just not true. But go ahead and keep the $6 for the bread. I’ll keep the thousands I would have continued spending here. Really unfortunate to see how far this place has fallen.

Visited a friend in Secaucus few days ago. She took me to this newly opened restaurant near her. Surprisingly good! I have been to a lot of restaurants in the city and this is highly compatible. Great food, great service and great wine selections! Will definitely come again in future visits.
