All you can eat Breakfast - Franklin Rod & Gun Club - Sunday, Oct 19

All you can eat Breakfast - Franklin
Rod & Gun Club - Sunday, Oct 19 

Are you spooked by the EXORBITANT cost of going out to eat these days? Do you turn into a pumpkin when it's time to pay the bill at a restaurant? Does it feel like they're vampires bleeding your wallet?

Then come to our $10 ($5 for kids 12 and under) all-you-can-eat breakfast on Sunday, Oct. 19 at 53 Florence St. in Franklin from 7:30-11 AM.

You get eggs, sausage, home fries, pancakes, French toast, corned beef hash, baked beans, and coffee or OJ for a price that's not monstrous. And it's prepared by your friends and neighbors who might look scary, but are actually pretty great and love to serve you.

So don't even think about ghosting us this Sunday. And if you want to come in costume, even better!

Open to the public, cash only, and any extra food is donated to our friends in recovery at Gilly's House.

Rod and gun club all-you-can-eat breakfast - Sunday, August 17

"Listen, I know we crack yolks and it may seem like our brains are scrambled, but we're gonna spill the (baked) beans and give you the tea so there's no egg on our face.

We love serving you breakfast.

Sure it takes a lot of work and sometimes we're (French) toast early Sunday morning after a long Saturday night, but that's just how the sausage is made.

So let's (corned beef) hash this all out, home fries.

Our all-you-can-eat $10 ($5 for kids) breakfast is in four days on Aug. 17. It's open to the public and we'll have plenty for everyone so you don't need to pancake each other to get in. It's cash-only, at 53 Florence St. in Franklin, from 7:30-11 am.

So come visit your friends at the Franklin Rod & Pun Club and let us serve you great food for the best price in town."
