Part of the problem might be that it is New Year’s Day and they seemed short staffed from the moment we walked in. The restaurant was 1/4 full. The Biscuits and Gravy were promptly announced as not available. Let’s check the menu: Home made Herb Biscuits, Italian Sausage, Gravy and Eggs. Everything has eggs… The Eggs Benedict have eggs and biscuits so we are narrowing in on the problem. Must be the Gravy they did not make, and that is the hardest part. Really? Fat, Flour, S/P, sausage, pretty much done.
Next all the food was cold when it was brought to the table. The Eggs were 30 seconds shy of being done perfectly. The sauce was cold. The potatoes cold. Totally disappointing.

Better Food Better Mood
The place barely had any people on a Friday night and it does make sense. The fries came out cold, must’ve gave us the one that had been sitting out for a while so we had to get it reheated. Honestly, first time being served cold fries like what clownery Also we were trying to order and the waiter was staring at the wall for a hot while lmao? And then we were trying to get his attention waving our hand, clearly visible mind you, but he was not seeing it. Again, barely anyone there at the restaurant. Anyway, food itself was alright. The pork chop was tender albeit salty. Went well with the cider though.

Customer Beware! We were overcharged by 189 percent on a tip !!
I had a fun girls night here a couple of weeks ago as a belated happy birthday for a friend. We loved the Christmas decor, we were able to snag some seats without reservations. The drinks were great and the bartender that served us at the bar was friendly
. The food was ok and overall, we had a great time… Days later, my friend saw her bank statement, and there was a huge discrepancy. A bill of $150.34 (before tip, which we tipped 20 percent on), somehow became a 189 percent tip. An astounding, inflated total of a $434.68 charge! Luckily I still had the picture from when the 3 of us split the bill, and I must add none of us were that drunk to make that kind of mistake . It was a Thursday night and we all had work the next day.
Franklin Social was one of my favorite neighborhood bars in the area, as well as Junto. I highly recommended this place to any of my friends for years. I was also very happy to see that they recovered after that devastating fire. As someone that manages a small business in the area with my partner, I’m genuinely rooting for this business to thrive.
However, the way this matter is being handled at the moment, does not entice me to ever go back. I’m all for fairness that they keep the charge for the bill and the 20 percent tip. I hope they do the right thing to my friend. Until then I’m leaving the pictures from that night and judge for yourself .
If it was an honest mistake ? It happens. There’s protocol that could have prevented this quite large oversight. But when the restaurant claims the customer made that tip for the charge when they didn’t ? I think the public should be aware to take precautions in the future if this instance happens to them.

I visited this holiday-themed bar recently, and while it was a great idea for the season, the experience was a bit of a mixed bag.
The Atmosphere & Drinks:
The bar itself looked festive, and I loved that the drinks came in cute, themed mugs-it really added to the holiday vibe! However, the drink selection was lacking, especially for mocktails. A major letdown was when my friend ordered a mocktail and it was served in a basic, plain glass. In a themed pop-up, it’s the little things that matter, and it felt out of touch with the experience.
Though they did swap it for a mug when I asked, it shouldn’t have been an issue to begin with.

Bartender: You girls like house?
Girls: what?
Bartender: you like house music?
Girl1: uh, yeah!
girl 2: mmmm
Bartender: I’m a house DJ! you should follow me on Instagram!
Girl 2:ok
Bartender: you girls want anything else?
girl 2: we’re good

Miracle on Mercer at Franklin Social was such a fun experience! The Coconut Hot Chocolate was rich, creamy, and perfectly cozy—definitely a must-try. The Chili Rock Shrimp was packed with flavor and had just the right amount of heat. Great atmosphere, festive vibes, and delicious food made this a spot I’d happily visit again.

Lovely bar and restaurant. It’s a large dining space for Jersey City. There’s trivia nights during the week. The cocktails are delicious and so refreshing. I love the Frontier Briar, it tastes so fresh and summer-y. My favorite dish was the sticky tofu, the texture is absolute perfection, so crunchy with caramelized sugar on the outside but so soft and well seasoned inside. The ginger sauce was the perfect blend. Vibes were good and so is decor. We got several appetizers including the burrata and loved them.

Miracle on Mercer @ Franklin Social was really cute. Franklin Social is great at cocktails; I’ve never had a drink there that I didn’t love. However, their food menu is inconsistent. Was not super impressed with the Sticky Tofu which seemed both out of place compared to the rest of their menu, and not as refined as their other offerings. Loved the whole holiday menu and all of the decor, though!

We went for Miracle on Mercer, which we had been looking forward to since 2021, when we lived in the area and couldn’t get a reservation.
Here’s our (perhaps controversial) take:
The cocktails were too sweet and honestly kind of gross, not balanced all. However, the Christmas cups they were served in were super cute.
The service was meh. Our waiter was mad at us for existing. I guess he was just over the whole Christmas vibe by December 23.
The food was super average, especially for the price point.
The restaurant was very cute. The Christmas themed decorations were on point.
We probably had too high expectations, since we had been looking forward to it for so long. So, that’s on us! Go for the fun Christmas theme and check your expectations for everything else!

We had a reservation at the place and we had a nice experience with the waiters. Reservation is recommended because the place gets crowded during this time of the year. A lovely decor for the season is truly a great choice for people who wanted to feel the holiday spirit. The food was good but expect a kick of spices. The holiday drinks were good as well. It’s a pricey place but if you want a different experience then you should visit it and see it. I kept the greeting card because I loved it.
