Rutledge Cafe

Best food in Franklin hands down! The staff are all wonderful and treat you like family! The prices are very reasonable, the portions are MORE than adequate, and the atmosphere cant be beat! Friday and Saturday are cook to order and Sunday is done in Southern Sunday Dinner style. If you're in town stop by for an AMAZING meal! Everything on the menu is excellent!

This place has been in business 70 yrs for many reasons. Of course because it's the best soul food on the planet hands down. Handed down from Mama Rutledge to her Son. You feel the love when you walk into the door. You don't wanna leave just for that reason alone. But the love is obviously also the main ingredient in this amazing food. This is an excellent experience you dont wanna miss. It is off the beaten path and small town where all the locals hang and those places are usually the best. And Rutledge Cafe is better than the best. Jr. Rutledge and his staff are kind, hardworking, honest, and know how to please the tastebuds with the delicious off the chain Soul food Southern recipes that came from Mama Rutledges heart♥.. Be there!

Great down home food on Sundays The poor lady waiting tables sure was running like crazy She needed help! It's definitely not a fastfood place. Most dishes made to order Great food Will definitely make a return visit 😋

The whole catfish is awesome! Sides were just as good! The sweet tea, was perfect! The banana pudding, delicious! I will be back!

Love This Place! Went At 11am On A Sunday Before It Got Busy And Absolutely Will Be Back! Definitely Best Country Eating In Heard County!

Wanting to try the wet coconut cake next time.
I had the butterfly shrimp fried okra and mac and cheese. There looks like there is parking across the street and the is a senior citizen Sunday meal special.

The best home cooked meals in Georgia.. their catfish is delicious

A1 Service from everyone! Food was hot and delicious. I often drive from Carrollton to Franklin on Sundays to pick up food. Very generous portions.

Fried shrimp plate was good, with generous portions.

An old house with a few tables in two rooms the bathroom was awful tables were too close kitchen was too small for cooking. Food was canned. Meat wasn't seasoned. Will never go back
