The Franklin Cafe is a hip place to grab a bite. Offering new takes on American cuisine for under $20, it's one of the best values for your money in all of Boston. The service here is excellent and suprisingly friendly.
The only problem with this restaurant is the exhorbenant wait to get a table. With it's "no reservations" policy and nine tables with slow turnover it may take 2-3 hours to be seated on a busy night. It's worth the wait though.
