Fran's is like an old pair of pants...it may be dated, have some holes in it, but you just gotta try them on every few years to see if they still fit. Ditto for Fran's.
I've been coming in for breakfast for years and there are really no surprises. The food is good, staff are friendly, location is perfect...what's not to like?
So why not a higher score? It's just that in Toronto there are much better places to tempt your taste buds with....and this is strictly comfort food.
