Dog Haus Set to Debut in Franklin, Tenn., with Burgers, Brats, Brews and Big Flavors
Tennessee’s hottest new brews-and-bites destination opens its second location in the state on Thursday, May 14.
Franklin, Tenn. (May 8, 2026) — Dog Haus, the Southern California–based craft-casual brand known for its gourmet burgers, brats and brews, will bring its chef-driven comfort food to 755 Crescent Centre Drive, Suite 104, Franklin, TN 37067 on Thursday, May 14.
Nashville resident Michael Deak knows Dog Haus better than most. A former General Manager turned multi-unit franchisee, he opened Dog Haus East Nashville in November 2025 and is now bringing the brand to Franklin. “Franklin was an easy choice,” said Deak. “It’s a community that appreciates quality, and that’s exactly what we deliver. Dog Haus has been a big part of my life for a long time, and one of the things I love most about this brand is its commitment to showing up for the communities it serves. We’re not just opening a restaurant in Franklin. We’re here to be part of it.”
Dog Haus Franklin will host a grand opening celebration designed to give back to the community. The activation will benefit Centennial High School Athletics, and the community is invited to support the program while experiencing the new location. From May 14–17, the restaurant will redeem 5,000 grand-opening coupons distributed throughout the Franklin area, allowing guests to donate $3 in exchange for any menu item for free.

Built on a chef-driven menu and an elevated approach to comfort food, Dog Haus offers a diverse lineup of Creekstone Farms® 100% Black Angus beef smashburgers and hot dogs, handcrafted sausages, fried and grilled chicken creations, and plant-based options. The new Franklin, Tenn. location delivers that same Craft-Casual experience that has earned the brand a devoted following nationwide.
