Couple suggestions
If you want to approach your destination from a bit south of there stop at the Dillard House in Dillard, GA and then go north cutting over to Highlands on 106. When you get to 28 go north out of town, Bridal Vail on your right and Dry Falls on your left. If you go directly to Franklin you might try Fat Buddy's BBQ in the K Mart plaza. It is in back of Lowes where US 441 and the By pass meet. From there 28 south to Highlands.
