    With a name like this place has how can you NOT stop in to see what kind of grub they sling?…read moreDriving in to the heart of Donaldsonville I happened to look to my left and saw the named painted LARGE on the backside of the building and thought to myself "If I'm still here come lunch that's where I'm eating" Sure enough I'm still in town around lunch time and being hungry I headed to this place...Mom & Pop joint, too good to be a dive but not good enough to be fancy...you walk in this joint and you just sense you gonna get a good meal for a reasonable price.... That's exactly what I got! They have a full bar separated from the eating section by a lattice wall.... sturdy diner tables with sturdy diner chairs fill the place.... lots of Ascension Parish memorabilia mixed with LSU items hanging on the wall.... Nice menu filled with home cooking and seafood plus burgers and poboys... Prices are reasonable... The specials on 1/23/15 were Shrimp stew served over potato salad or fried catfish plate.... went with the catfish since I hadn't had any in awhile.... It was an excellent choice! Fresh fillets, golden brown, fresh out of the greasel....DELICIOUS! But you gotta have good tartar sauce and they had it, great flavor with a little spice.... it was a great meal!! Service was excellent and the owners were real friendly.... need a quick filling meal then give this place a try.... it's got my recommendation!

    I love their mozzarella cheese sticks. Really yummy seafood. Good service and friendly people. I do…read morerecommend coming back again.

    I stopped in here for brunch on a Sunday. Even though it was a packed parking lot, we didn't have…read moreto wait too long to be seated. I ordered the Stuffed Blueberry Biscuit and requested just a half order of 1 instead of 2 and I'm glad I did. It was a lot going on for just one! The biscuit is cut open-faced and slathered with cream cheese and blueberry pie filling then dusted with powdered sugar and dolloped with whipped cream. It was like a cross between eating blueberry pie and blueberry cobbler. The next time I stopped in I ordered the Apple Stuffed Biscuit and it wasn't as good as the Blueberry. I think the Apple one would probably be better if the filling was eaten warmed. I have also tried the Beignets. I ordered a half of each type. The plain was not so great. Just too doughy and blah. The Sweet Potato was better, but I would still rather get the Stuffed Blueberry Biscuit. The sausage patties are made with Mild Jimmy Dean sausage so they are good too - better than the Bacon. The Pancakes are okay too if you aren't in the mood for the Biscuit. The Reese's one was overly sweet and the Pecan was messy and on the drier side but syrup fixed that.

    Today after church my family and I attended Franks for the first time. The establishment was…read moredecorated with various farming equipment and pictures as well as family photos around the building. There was a very diverse range of people and families as well. Our server was very attentive and made sure we were satisfied with our meal. I personally had the French toast combo, with scrambled eggs, bacon and a biscuit. During the meal I also tried some of the grits my husband ordered as well as my son's pancakes. Everything was good! Especially those pancakes! My husband ordered the omelette and grits, and he throughly enjoyed!
