Fran's restaurant is an ineresting institution. The original Fran's is located at College and Yonge, which has expanded to four other locations in it's six decades of operation. Fran's has two other locations South of Bloor, one location in Barrie, and one in... Kansas City.
Kansas City? Yes, Kansas City. Not New York, Los Angeles or Chicago. Not even elsewhere in Southern Ontario. Kansas City, Missouri.
Dispite that, Fran's offers a respectable dining experience. All things considered, above average. Being a chain, which we typically avoid on this blog, Fran's has a certain level of expectability. That is, when you walk into a Fran's you know what you're getting into.
Most chains are succeptable to microwave dish syndrome: Where the accountants determine that it is cheaper to provide pre-packaged meals that are re-heated on site as opposed to fresh cooked meals made with care. Fran's is not among those chains.
A meal at Fran's will be of a standard quality: fresh and fantastic, as you can see below.
This blog consideres Fran's a great place to dine, whatever the occasion. We just wish the Barrie location offered the same hours as those in Toronto.
Overall: 8/10
