Best eggs Benedict I’ve had, and those Lemon curd crepes… amazing. Service is always great, never an empty cup of coffee.

Really nice, cozy place! With an amazing customer service, many funny memes to read and excellent food! Does not seems like it on the outside, but it is totally worth the stop !!

Customer service from the owner is horrible.

Wow was this place great. Went for breakfast while here on vacation. We were blown away. The food is just really good and they have an extensive menu of choices. Wife got raspberry crepes which came with a homemade raspberry compote that looked so good. She loved them. I got the Irish Benedicts. The hollandaise was great, the hash was good. I loved my meal.We like the little touches here. All of the dishware is sort of random like they shopped at thrift stores for it. There are cute signs with sayings all over. It just felt fun and the food was delicious.

One here for breakfast waitress was very good very fast always on top of everything and they actually talk to you food was awesome I had the omelet and you got a love these little places because you know the foods gonna be good

Had breakfast first time there food was great service was great too clean and very friendly will be sure to go back prices were great too

Wanted to try a breakfast place my daughter and I hadn’t been to before. Looked up the menu online and it looked pretty good, figured we’d give it a try. It was a full house, one of the waitresses when we first walked in was very nice but the other two looked like chickens with their heads cut off... my daughter and I were seated and one of the chickens asked if we were ready to order... no ma’am we just sat down... was placing my order with her when she came back and she was in a rush. Zero personality, kept trying to take my menu when I was trying to add things to my order. I subbed hash browns with my Benedict (iiiiick.) I wish I had just stayed with regular home fries. My sausage benedict was very watery from the poached eggs... my plate was soaked with WATER- I understand a drop or two but not a puddle... My crepe was outstanding! My grilled “homemade” muffin was black and unedible. I’d like to say I’d be back for that crepe at least but I can’t say that I will be. Besides only one friendly waitress and one good crepe- I didn’t understand what the hype was about at this place. I liked that they had crayons ready for kids- in a box, I wish more restaurants did that besides in a cup or in plastic looking cheesy. The decorations were cute and I liked the mugs I saw people drinking coffee from. Just need better waitresses who can handle the business of being a breakfast server. Don’t show your stress, ladies! Smile!!!! Make it look like you like your job!!! :-)

Id give em 6 stars if i could. Review first, story second.As soon as I moved to this area I wanted to know the best breakfast place that was closest to me. Sure enough Frans is 4 mins away or less. Its my go to for breakfast, I mostly get to-go. The food is great! It is always hot and fresh. Even with my customizations! Staff is always friendly and nice. And the price is right! plus they have home made muffins etc! Frans has NEVER let me down! They are alwayssssss busy every time I go, so they are doing something right!!!!After living here and ordering occasionally for 2.5 years now....today I got home with my order... I sat down and I realized there's no bacon ....so I'm frustrated (because thats MY favorite part) ...so I call. I feel extremely bad now for having a frustrated attitude BECAUSE NOT ONLY did she offer to personally deliver the bacon...TO ME...when i got back there, they completely duplicated and replaced my entire breakfast .... she didn't just hand over some bacon which is all i expected and wanted...they completely remade my entire order, so it was all hot fresh and remade they even gave me ANOTHER muffin. Because my 1st order had one ....PLUS she gave me a gift card for the inconvenience. That was MORE than i paid for my entire breakfast. They went completely above and beyond what they needed to do! It was too much. Talk about making things right. And then some.Go to Frans! And keep supporting local businesses. I know ill be back. Yumm!

My families favorite place to get breakfast. It's always pretty busy with a bit of a wait but it's so worth it. The food is amazing and the service is outstanding.

I ate here twice before I worked there and the food was pretty good...now I'm sort of biased cuz I've worked here now and know how things are done.... 90% of the food is just fine if not great though....Waitress Linda and Cassie are awesome and Nicole Is a great hostess on weekends. Good place for a quick diner experience.Update:This place is good but do not eat the turkey. They leave it out over night room temperature to defrost that is absolutely wrong and could cause someone to get really sick maybe die if the person has a weak immune system... Also they do not make muffins homemade the menu needs to be updated. I loved my job when I was there but I realized everyone including the owner was fake and they all talk behind each other's back.. I was let go 2 days before Christmas after being forced quarantined for covid even though I never had it. A waitress and a couple of the kitchen staff members have had covid and there were no extra cleaning or sanitizing efforts taken after they worked there with covid. So people eat at your own risk...
