Owned & Operated by 3 Generations of Tar Heels
Grandad proposed to Grandmother on Franklin Street when they were students in 1957. This happened soon after the 32-0 men’s basketball team —known as McGuire’s Miracle — won the national championship in triple overtime over the Wilt Chamberlain led Kansas team.
Grandad drove up to watch both of the triple overtime games
in a 1949 Chevy convertible with 4 other students
. This location — then a gasoline station — is where they filled up before they left for Kansas City.
Great Food & Drink in the Middle of Southern Heaven
Since 1957, we have visited about every good restaurant & hot dog stand in the great state of North Carolina. Nothing could be finer than to be right here on Franklin Street, literally the best place on earth. To make your visit special, we create dishes from Murphy to Manteo so you feel right at home.
Location, Buh-Big Tv’s & Music
Folks don’t visit Franklin Street just for the food. You want to watch the Heels, listen to great music & people watch.
Blue’s On Franklin has one of the largest ground level outdoor seating areas near campus.
20,000 walk by this specific location (on average) daily.
Our TV’S & sound system have to be good — my wife makes us leave the house on game day!!
