Frank's Restaurant

I went during mardi gras. Obviously it may change the review. However i felt i needed to review. The food was acceptable but the amount you pay for the food you receive. I would recommend going else where for portion size. I will say the oil in the fried food was clean and what we served was well cooked. However we had a crass waitress that ruined the experience of dining. She wasn't attentive and patronizing. I also saw on the menu that 18 percent gratuity would be automatically paid for a party of 5 which i had. When i received the bill it was 20 percent. I asked about it and the waitress reply was it was a misprint in the menu..

Man the corn and crab bisque was amazing here. Stopped here for a lunch and ended up staying for a good awhile. Our sever, Jamie, was superb and very attentive. My father reccomended this spot from a trip of his back in the day and im glad to say this did not dissapoint. The shrimp and crawfish combo gagliano lived up to the hype and the cannoli was to die for. Thanks for a great time!

It's quaint but they know their dishes well. Family run since 1965 Frank Gagliano opened on Decatur Street. When his sons came of age the ope

First time trying a Muffuletta!!! I chose Franks because they make their olive salad homemade!!! Everything about this sandwich was just right! Delicious as heck Half is plenty to feed two people! The bread had a nice toasty texture the cheese was melted to perfection.. can’t wait to go back to get another one! I give this sandwich 5 stars! You can also get the olive salad in a jar to go!

My sister, my daughter, and I stopped in for a quick lunch and it was a diaster. The restaurant was totally empty at 1pm on a Wednesday, that should have been our first clue. We thought maybe it was just a lull and were sadly mistaken. The staff made this place very unwelcoming and were so unprofessional. They seated us in the very back, right next to the kitchen. The entire time we were there they were very loudly discussing personal problems and on speaker phone making calls and cursing up a storm. Whoever was in the kitchen was particularly vulgar and cursing. We heard everything loud and clear. My daughter was especially uncomfortable and asked to leave several times before we got our food. We ordered two caesar salads, two cups of seafood gumbos, and a side fries. We ate barely half o
