Desiree Dennis Tessa was excellent in her service. The food portions were well worth the money and the food quality was excellent. Very happy and will definitely return.

Lisa Brown EXCELLENT grilled cheese pot roast sandwich!!! I highly recommend that everyone try it. We stumbled upon this place while on vacation & have been back once since then, and our whole family ordered it & agreed that it was great. Only problem is, that its 2 1/2 hours away from our house! Cant wait to come back.

Adam Zeigler We visited the DeBence antique music museum next door and were drawn in by the wonderful smells so we decided to have lunch there. It’s a nice restaurant with friendly staff and reasonably priced. I had a ham and cheese wedgie which was delicious!We also got a small order of fries to share and the cheese was really really good! I recommend them if you’re in town!

Jenn K Toasty warm. Food was good. Burger was medium well to welldo e but ordered med rare. The burger was the black and blue and tasted good. The specialty drinks were fun and tasty. Big and tasty salad, soup was hot and steak was done corectly. Stuffed cod was a little dry. Service was fast and good.

Scott Krizinsky Food is good. I had the new Italiano sub both times Ive been here. One day you can come in and the service is fast and there right there. However tonight 01/11 when we cam in we were seated for 20 minutes before someone came and took our order and that was after we found someone. They cant blame it on being busy because at the time there might have been 5 or 6 tables if that. After our order was placed we had to go to the front desk and get our receipt and a to go box. The food is always good.

Nicole Barner Wendy is BEYOND PHENOMENAL!! She handles our extravagant orders extremely well. The crew she has working with her are amazing and everyone needs a raise!! Please see attached picture - the 19 pizzas were so hot, fresh, and ready that I needed to turn on the defrost!! Thank you as always for you hard work!!

Elijah Cowles We come through every other month or so, and they always know our drinks when we walk in the door! The service has always been fast and nonintrusive, theres a great mix of different cuisine, all of it being comfort food. Theres something comforting about it that makes it one of my favorites in the area!

Carrie Kolesar We had a really nice experience here last Saturday evening. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. The food was good and the atmosphere was quiet and kind of vintage rustic. We’ve been for all you can eat wings on a Wednesday and that was great. This time we ordered from the menu. Burger was good, fish was moist and tasty, sirloin steak cooked perfectly mid-rare, the Reuben was really fantastic and we all loved the fries.

Jesse Taft Learned a valuable lesson about not judging a book by its cover. Got an Italian sub not expecting much from a little gas station place, I work in pest control so I have a habit of always looking back into the kitchen while I wait if I can, and I noticed that it was very clean, which isn’t common. Got the sandwich, which I get often from probably hundreds of places at this point, and it was top tier. Good bread, good ingredients, tomatoes were crisp, very impressed and will return again when I’m in the area. Don’t overlook this place because it’s a small gas station.

Mary Hickok Great place! Lively staff, good food and fast service. Would stop here again on my way through.

Monica Wentworth Delicious! Best pot stickers! Amazing wings as well....have to try the seasonal drinks...always so creative!

MLynn We are not from the area, googled for wings and this place popped up! Love the name!!! My son ABSOLUTELY LOVED HIS Buffalo Ranch Wings, and he knows his wings (he’s 17 years old haha)! Burgers were tasty, the wings we VERY good service was OUTSTANDING!!! They are short staffed (so please be patient) but it definitely makes up for the food and the people who work here are so kind! We will 100% be back again! So glad we found this little gem! Give this place a try! We went for Saturday late lunch after 1pm ate in the dining area.

Tasha Deitz The service and the food here was amazing! I got the Italian Gondola wedgie which was delicious. We also got their cheese sticks that were also super good. The shell/crust of the cheese sticks as well as the Mariana we dipped them in were super flavorful. I would suggest this business to all my pizza lover friends. Also they offer Gluten free options!

Astonished Now Everything was spectacular! We were enticed to visit when we saw Smoke Cantinas beautifully curated menu. We were visiting Franklin for an autumn adventure from Pittsburgh, and we were dazzled by the beautiful design of the restaurant, spectacular service, and the memorable meal! We were warmly greater by Carley, who provided excellent service and recommendations through our entire experience! The Smoked Old Fashioned was perfectly crafted and balanced. The French Onion Soup was delightfully rich and warming, and we loved the fresh creamy Caesar Salad. Both of our meals were perfection, full of flavor and beautifully plated. I was impressed by the Five Spice Pekin Duck with sweet potato puree and lo mein, and my husband was so pleased with the Prime Handcut Boneless Ribeye which was seasoned and salmuera basted, along with garlic herb butter and creamy garlic chimi sauce. We had the fortune of meeting Dani the owner, her pride in the community was shining through as she shared about the various festivals of Franklin and how it is such a special place! This all translates into why the restaurant experience was so wonderful - it is obvious that everything down to the details is driven by a high level of passion and care! An Affogato and Bananas Foster Creme Brulee meyer rum custard with carmelized banana and salted caramel drizzle were the perfect ending to the meal! The photograph showing the restaurant interior was taken when we first arrived at 4pm, and by 5pm the restaurant was full because this is the place to be in Franklin! We are looking forward to returning!

JOANNE SCRIP The very BEST restaurant in western Pa. is right here! Just outside of Franklin, tucked inside Lucky Hills Golf Course is "Elevated at Dawndis", a place you will definitely want to bring your friends to. We have eaten here several times and each time have had superb meals prepared to perfection by Chef Mike. Tonight was no different! The sea scallops were incredible, the sole almondine with crabmeat a sheer delight and the pork shank melted in your mouth! Cierra, our server was attentive and friendly, making the meal all the more enjoyable. We tried a variety of the new Autumn cocktails outside on the deck including the Apple butter Old Fashioned, the Toffee Appletini, and my personal favorite from the summer menu, the Passion fruit Daiquiri. Each was unique and delicious so you cant go wrong. Bri greets all guests personally and checks on them during the meal, making sure everything is to your liking. Whether youre in the mood for a burger and fries or celebrating a special occasion, youre in for a delicious meal at a reasonable price. Like us, youll be back time and again!
