| - I love Fran's, but maybe not for the greatest reasons. I love Fran's for hangover food, for its large portions and its reasonable prices. That's pretty much the only thing to love here.
I went yesterday with a friend for breakfast. I'm on this awful diet and I'm unable to eat any dairy or gluten for 30 days (Whole30 - look it up). Our server was very accommodating with my questions about what contains what, and informed me that their home fries are coated with flour...what a bummer (but before this, I didn't know - so celiacs beware!). My other options were a fruit cup, a $3.95 upgrade, or a salad, a $1.95 upgrade. I get it, choosing a different side than the standard is a little annoying, but this is Fran's. You're gonna charge an extra $2 for a small cup of leaves? Considering I skipped the toast as well, I thought they coulda just given me the salad...but oh well.
I don't know if it's a thing at Fran's, but it seems your server only comes to the table if you flag them down. If you ask for a few more minutes, you'll wait 10; when your meal is finished, your plates will sit there until you do something about it. The server was kind and friendly, but it seemed we disappeared until we made a gesture towards her.
For brunch, I just think two eggs, two little turkey sausages, a small cup of salad and a coffee isn't worth $15 when the two egg combo is typically $8.99. Though I will give them praise for accommodating my annoying diet...sort of.
