What Our Customers Are Saying

We are here visiting from Alabama and picked Franks because it was locally owned. The staff was amazing and the food was the best we have had. We are restaurant owners and we were able to talk with the family and were very welcomed. It’s a must stop place.

Amazing!!! Such a great little place! Terrific Muffalata. The bread was warm and delicious. The meat is so tasty. If you want Italian go to Frank’s.

Allison C.

Love this place. So New Orleans. Honestly, I have only had poor boys ( roast beef mostly). Staff is very nice. Wine pour is generous and reasonable. Don’t be scared to walk in. Food is good and people are nice. They use the best French bread in town. Always fresh
