Time-Out Restaurant - East Franklin

I was very excited to patronize this eatery due to the aromatic aroma of the fried chicken. I was disappointed by the chicken being very salty, mac and cheese was ok, mashed potatoes and gravy, the cabbage, and the lemonade were the best parts. Maybe the time of day matters. I'll try earlier to see if there is a difference. The cookie and ice cream dessert was good. Would have liked more pecans.

This place is a gem! Delicious!!! I stopped by on a Saturday morning and it was nice and quiet—only a few other people were there. I ordered the fried chicken, cabbage, and mac n cheese, and every bite was southern-style perfection. Also, if you like Bojangles sweet tea, you’ll love it here! Get one of those square biscuits and the cinnamon roll! Must try! The biscuit was buttery and melt in your mouth and cinnamon roll had perfect amount of icing. It is like a diner inside and has an old school feel. The location is perfect—right on Franklin Street and super convenient if you’re out hitting the shops. Definitely give them a try!

I am visiting from another state, tried this place on Sunday, 1 March at around 1 p.m. They did not make a good first impression. I ordered the fried chicken, potato salad, and collard greens. The food was ok, but I have had better. The person serving my food was friendly--reason for the 2 stars, otherwise it would have been 1 star. The older white lady working the cash register was not friendly--not even a "how are you doing"? or "thank you"--no smile like she hated being there. If you don't like your job and not good at customer service, do something else. The place was not even busy--only 2 other customers. And to pay .79 for a cup of water is ridiculous. Would not return

Stopped by this 24-hour diner for a quick bite and left with mixed impressions but a full stomach. The honey biscuit was a bit too much on the sweet side—drenched in honey to the point where I couldn’t really taste the biscuit itself. A lighter touch would go a long way. On the other hand, the chicken cheese biscuit sandwich featured a generous, juicy piece of chicken, though it was slightly over-salted for my taste. Service was excellent—the worker was both friendly and informative, and my order came out fast. You really can’t beat the prices here, especially with the size of the portions and the fact that it’s open 24/7. The menu is huge, and I’m already planning my next visit. Looking forward to trying a plain biscuit to really get a sense of the flavor, and I’ve got my eye on a cinn

Good food and good service! If you’re looking for some affordable southern comfort food keep Time Out in mind. The meal was fresh and tasty! There was a nice variety of menu items to try. The food was already made so there was no wait. Handicap accessible. Street parking and space is limited. Open 24 hrs. Family friendly.
