Caffè Rel - Franklin

The basil shrimp bowtie pasta, scallops with pasta, and pot roast dinners were all delicious. The food tastes like a 5-star restaurant, but the price is very reasonable, especially for the large quantity. The bourbon pecan torte desert is like an upscale pecan pie. We plan on returning for the shrimp and grits. They don't have a lobby, so they ask everyone to wait outside until they call your name. Be prepared to wait in the cold or heat when they are busy.

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

We’ve been coming to this mountain gem for years and LOVE it! You will too!

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.
