We were looking for a breakfast place nearby and found this place. The storefront is pretty small so we never saw this restaurant around before. The interior is very old fashioned. Their foods are kind of traditional American style brunch. I ordered 3 sides which are scrambled egg, pancakes and hash browns. All of them are very delicious. Especially the pancakes are so fluffy and airy, as well as buttery. I highly recommend. My husband had a pastrami sandwich with big seasoned fries. He really enjoyed it. The service here is quick and friendly. I recommend this place to the family who wants to bring kids or parents here for a nice breakfast meal.

Franco’s was a good surprise! My boyfriend and I stopped in. He ordered the chicken fried steak, eggs, home fries and biscuit and gravy. I ordered the corned beef hash, eggs, home fries and pancake. We both really enjoyed the food! The home fries were yummy! The gravy was delicious! The pancake was sumptuous! I recommend Franco’s.

Ordered Godzilla, Big Dude, and a Famous burger with seasoned fries. The food did not disappoint, the fries were well seasoned and the burgers were a good size for the price listed. Good job keep up the good work you guys the food was delicious

We visited this place after hiking, and although it was packed before we arrived, the staff's speediness meant we didn't have to wait long in line. The food was great, the staff was friendly, and the cleanliness of the place made our experience enjoyable, so we will definitely go back for breakfast.

Had a spontaneous dinner here and left completely satisfied. The tapas-style menu was fun to explore — we tried five small plates and each one was better than the last. My favorite was the grilled halloumi with honey and pistachios. The drinks were creative and well-mixed, and the staff made excellent suggestions. A perfect place to enjoy a relaxing evening out.

Our new favorite spot! I called in an order for pickup around 10am for me and my coworker today. First - The lady who answered the phone was beyond sweet taking our order and wrote everything down perfect. I had a very specific way I wanted my burger. Second - coworker went a picked the food up. Service was super pleasant she said. Third - The food! Hands down the best burger I've had in awhile! Tasted like it came straight from the BBQ in the backyard with perfect seasoning! She hooked it up too. Gave me all the fixing on the side including a large pickle and some very delicious fries that were seasoned, crunchy, and the meal was downright delicious. My coworkers French dip was top tier too she says. All and all. I highly reccomend and I think we found our new weekend lunch spot for our Sunday shifts!

REALLY REALLY GOOD HAMBURGER!!! Unlike over-cooked and greasy fast food, this burger has taste and flavor. (Although ordered as Medium Rare, it came as Medium; see photo.) The point is that even as a burger cooked Medium IT TASTED REALLY GOOD!!! The other sandwich was a Pastrami with Double Meat (see photo). This Pastrami Sandwich with double meat was REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD!!! Getting the double meat crossed the threshold to delicious. I previously had the regular serving of pastrami and was moderately satisfied; but the double meat made a huge difference that I’ll be returning for frequently. Both dishes are very highly recommended.

They were all so happy at work which is grate to see and the joy really rubs off in the food. Absolutely delightful dishes with abundant serving sizes and the flavor OMG. Can’t say enough good things about this place. Thank you for your amazing food and service
