Heading to the Omaha airport after a visit to Yankton SD we were looking for a place to eat on the way. Found Frannie's, a very pleasant surprise. Breakfast feast was delicious and the loaded omelette was really good. Will make the side trip next time we are driving through to try some of the lunch items.
Our second fantastic meal here! Great food, very clean & nice staff! Absolutely worth the 150 mile drive!
Super clean restaurant. Beautiful menu with breakfast and lunch. Service is the best. They have a homemade dessert! Lots of seating but anytime we have went almost every seat is taken. Great pricing. Must go.
I had checked Yelp last evening for restaurant recommendations here in Onawa where we're camping for two days on our trek back east, and didn't see any standouts. However, "Frannies", a breakfast/lunch place had good reviews. Easy to find. Plenty of parking on this charming Iowa Main Street. Interior was light, airy, and clean. Plenty of seating. The service was immediate and cheerful. Coffee was excellent. I ordered the "Breakfast Feast" - country fried steak, hash browns (or fries), two eggs to order (scrambled), and a grilled muffin (back East we call it an "English Muffin." All covered in a light pepper gravy. Everything was done to perfection. The hash browns were crispy, the steak was also crispy yet tender. Often times, a gravy can be "flour-y" or too much pepper but this was perfect. Grilled muffins were crispy and buttery. The portion was large, and I couldn't finish, but I didn't bring it home to microwave later: it would have been mush and I wanted to remember it just as it had been in all of its tasty glory. My wife had French toast and sausage (she has more resistance than I), and it was reportedly excellent as well. Prices were very reasonable. We tipped 30% on the total.
Great downtown cafe. Breakfast all day! Fair prices. Good food. Quick service. Clean. Hits all the points. A welcome relief from the total jerks at IA DNR and Lewis & Clark State Park!!'
We hit up Frannies for breakfast this morning. It was delicious! Prompt service! A whole pot of coffee for the table! The kids had ginormous pancakes with bacon and hash browns which my son claimed "were the best hb's he's ever had". They had standard egg and omelette fair. All and all a great breakfast spot to hit if you are in the area! We forgot to take pics however everything was plated as well as any diner would have plated such food.
Good breakfast, cooked to order! Friendly service, French Toast was really good! His eggs were cooked perfectly, crispy hash browns and delicious sausage patties!
Delicious food. Very clean restaurant and bathrooms. Friendly waitress. Couldn't ask for anything more in this small town!!
Little stop on the trip to Omaha. So glad we found this place. Quick bite to eat. Friendly service. Food was really good. I got the pork tenderloin and boy was it tender and juicy. My wife got the Frannie Melt. It was oozing with goodness. The onions were sautéed to perfection. Son got a bacon cheeseburger which he had eaten before he could say anything. Daughter got chicken tenders. Tenders are ok but nothing to get excited about. Definitely will come back if ever around here.
Food: 5 Portion size: large Value: 5 Prices: 5 Service: 5 Pro-tip: For breakfast get the chicken fried steak, two eggs with white pepper gravy. Heavenly. What can I say? They were fantastic. Friendly, nice and the food was excellent. My family and o were in the area for a family get together and we ate here for breakfast EVERY morning. Well worth every calorie! If you are in Onawa, or even close, stop by.
