Wabash Southern Kitchen

Just minutes from downtown Franklin, Wabash Southern Kitchen reimagines classic Southern comfort food with fresh ingredients, bold flavor, and genuine hospitality. Founded by brothers and Franklin natives Taylor and Rankin Clinton, Wabash is a warm, welcoming fast-casual spot inspired by family recipes and Sunday suppers—where crispy fried chicken, made-fresh sides, and house-baked sourdough rolls are just the beginning.

Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner Tuesday through Friday, and brunch on weekends, the menu blends Southern comfort with modern twists—think fried catfish and mac & cheese alongside hot chicken quinoa bowls, cinnamon rolls, and beignets. Wabash also features a curated coffee program, rotating craft beers from local partners like Yazoo Brewing, and seasonal offerings including a nostalgic ice cream bar and sunny outdoor patio.

With playful decor, heartfelt service, and a menu that feels both familiar and fresh, Wabash Southern Kitchen is more than a meal—it’s a modern celebration of Southern roots just outside the city limits.
