Caffè Rel - Carta

One of the best places in Western North Carolina. Treat yourself—don’t miss out!

Fantastic food and service. I am just visiting but I will return before leaving.

Delicious food! I live close by and dine there frequently. Just be mindful of your waistline! Ver carta

Wasn't expecting such an impressive menu. I eat at a lot of nice restaurants in Asheville. This little gem in Franklin is a must go. Level of quality impressive.

Oh my gosh! The scrimp and grits are so so good! The sauce/gravy and veggies on top of the grits are so flavorful and the scrimp are tender without that murky taste. Every mouthful you are making the mmmmmm sound! Lol! I highly recommend this dish!

What a wonderful surprise this was!! This place was phenomenal, and quite frankly, being located at the back of a gas station I didn't expect at all to be blown away by the quality of food. Came here because of a friend recommendation and was not disappointed. The food was delicious, the portions were generous and and entire experience just extraordinary. Would strongly recommend visiting here on your next travel to Franklin. Ver carta

I ordered delivery from this restaurant, and I have to say, the prices are not worth it. They charge a lot for the food, then there's the delivery fee, and on top of that, you’re expected to tip. The meal consists mostly of flour, sauce, a few vegetables, and a small amount of meat. It's definitely not a pound of meat—just a small portion. They really need to stop trying to take advantage of people. My nephews, nieces, and I ended up making our own ham and cheese sandwiches instead!

The basil shrimp bowtie pasta, scallops with pasta, and pot roast dinners were all incredibly tasty. The food has the flavor profile of a 5-star restaurant, yet the prices are quite reasonable, especially given the generous portion sizes. The bourbon pecan torte dessert is reminiscent of a gourmet pecan pie. We definitely plan on returning for the shrimp and grits. Just a heads-up: there isn't a lobby, so they request that everyone wait outside until their name is called. Be ready to endure the heat or chill if it's a busy time.

Alright, here we go! As a Maryland native (you can tell by my shirt), I ordered the blue crab bisque and the crab cake sandwich. Initially, I planned to just eat the crab cake, but once I opened the sandwich, it looked too good to resist. I decided to slather the sauce on both sides and enjoy the whole thing. If you’ve ever been to Jimmy’s in Baltimore, you’ll understand what I mean. While it may not quite be Jimmy's (let’s face it, nothing compares), I was genuinely impressed with both dishes and found I didn’t need to travel to Maryland for great crab. I’ve visited this place before with my family, and everything was fantastic. Ver carta
