Merridee’s Breadbasket is an absolute gem in the heart of Franklin. I came here with my dad and my daughter, and it turned into one of those simple, perfect mornings you don’t forget. The atmosphere is cozy, welcoming, and full of local charm — brick walls, warm lighting, and that Southern small-town comfort you hope ... for but rarely find. The food was phenomenal. I had the quiche and it was spot-on — flavorful, fresh, and baked just right. The bacon was thick, perfectly crisp, and full of flavor. Their coffee was exactly what you want to start your day with. My daughter loved every minute here, and the staff was kind and patient with families. If you’re in Franklin — whether you’re local or visiting — Merridee’s is a must. It’s the kind of place where great food meets genuine heart. We’ll be back for sure. Read More

5/2025 Update: I had the opportunity to eat here again and it's just as delicious as before. Service is fast and friendly and it gets really busy and the food is delicious! I had a delicious breakfast at Merridee's! I got a delicious iced latte and the Bennett's Scramble and the eggs were perfect! The cheese on top ... was definitely quality. The hash brown casserole was some of the best hash brown casserole I've ever had. When I come back, it'll be hard not to get more of it. It was SO good. Cool old coffee shop atmosphere. Service was quick. Employees were nice. They also offer beer and wine if that's what you are looking for at lunch time. Read More

Great place. I prefer Meridee’s to Puckets next door. The food is better and Meridee’s has espresso drinks. Breakfast as least on Friday, is done at 11:00 so we had to order lunch. I had the gold rush (iced) and the feta and spinach crescent with hashbrown casserole, both of which were excellent. We also had the ... sticky bun, spicy chicken wrap, which was spicier than expected as well as the curry chicken salad on top of a house salad and that was good as well. We will definitely be back!

Despite being crazy busy on the Monday before new years they took orders in an orderly fashion and brought out the meals in a timely fashion. Everything was amazing, food wise. The breads are fresh baked and the foundation for their sandwiches. The Rueben was fantastic. The pastrami was hot, crispy with melty ... cheese. The side of 1,000 was tart and tangy and the perfect accompaniment. It was on toasted, marbled rye. Rueben perfection. The wrap was perfect. It was the spicy chicken wrap and earned its name. Just the right amount of spice, good flavor, nicely sauced with shredded cheese. The patty melt was very good. Quality burger patty with melty cheese. It was on toasted sourdough and came with a side of 1,000. The Club was outstanding. Shaved deli meats, piled high on toasted bread. This will have you going Clubbing! The salad samplers came with chicken salad; cold, Flavorful with chunks of celery, tuna salad, sort of bbq-Smokey-in a good way, and the egg salad reminiscent of grandma’s. These came with their homemade bread and cinnamon bread and butter. These came cinnamon bread was out of this county good. The salads also came with a small tin of ambrosia! Surprisingly good too. Finally, the Mac and cheese is homemade cheesy goodness. It’s not orange kraft out of box here. It’s just salty-enough, Smokey, hot and gooey. Try this Mac and cheese. Sides are bag of chips, or fruit. Soft drinks were bubbly. So excellent food and efficient service, however the person taking our order went out of his way to NOT be friendly. You did not go to the counter until you were summoned. Other than this power trip, no complaints. He’s likely not happy with some of his life choices. Regardless, great grub and an overall great experience and will return. Read More
