"Great Place to relax and enjoy some good food! The steak sub was way better than expected, small order of fries was way more than I thought they'd be. Good food, good portions, good ice cream and a good place to enjoy the creek while you relax and eat."

"This is a place straight out of my childhood. Getting some ice cream and eating it on the train tracks. The froyo and soft serve are both tasty. The most recent visit I had may have had some staffing issues as the wait was very long. However, the ice cream was worth it!"

"Best icecream around. I stop for a medium twist and it's the biggest serving I am given anywhere and it is always perfect. Update: a kids size twist with sprinkles is my favorite and a really decent size! Always a pleasant experience at Pollys with staff."

"Polly's is an icon from my childhood. Everyone used to go to Polly's, or Bears as it was when I was a kid. Many of my memories growing up include Polly's. Their chili dogs were legendary. If you came from Franklin you know Polly's. I go there at least once everytime I'm back home."

"One of my all time favorite places to go to grab some ice cream. Polly's is nestled along the cutest creek with the sound of water going by and a pretty cool train track. Has areas to sit and relax. The ice cream cones are what they are known for because you get what you pay for! I can never finish a small cone!! Haha"

"Great service. Excellent food. Fantastic prices! A trip home is not complete without a stop at Polly’s. No where else can you get a loaded hotdog, fries and a drink for $4.30. Prices you can feed your family. Three of us got dinner and a treat for under $20! Trip home complete! And we’ll be back again every trip home."
