Ok, people. If you're anywhere near Coeur d'Alene and it's even close to breakfast time, do yourself a favor and eat at Franklin's! My wife and I just enjoyed one of the best breakfasts we've had in a very long time. Everything was absolutely delicious! Eggs and bacon were perfectly cooked. The Hollandaise was flavorful and light. The potatoes were crispy. There was nothing even close to off. Jensen, our server, was fun, funny, and super friendly. We sat outside on the little patio and just enjoyed the experience. If I could give it 10 stars, I would. read more

Nice server. Food was good. Homemade sausage had a little bit of kick. Potatoes didn't look like red potatoes per other reviews not weren't that crispy. Coffee was good. Around 8 tables inside and a handful more outside. read more

How I haven't been here yet is beyond me having been born and raised here, but there's no doubt this is a local favorite. When out for a walk, decided to stop in for a quick bite with a very affordable $8 breakfast potatoes, 2 eggs, and 2 toast meal. Franklins Hoagies is an old-school greasy spoon with roots that go back decades. Nothing flashy, just big portions at fair prices and service that feels friendly and familiar. The space has that cozy, back-in-time vibe -- less about Instagram, more about giving customers food worth their dollar. If you want a no-nonsense meal and something that feels lived in and a tad nostalgic, this is the one. read more

We knew it was the place to go just seeing the local fellas eating there when we walked by. Breakfast burritos, to go, were DELICIOUS. Really good ratio of sausage to egg. Friendly service, too. Highly recommend! read more

First time here, definitely won't be my last. Worth every minute of the drive! Got the OG Cheesesteak and the PepperSteak- both wicked good

Such a cute little corner breakfast spot. They're known for their sandwiches, so I would need to come back. We came for breakfast. My boyfriend got the chicken fries steak, I had some and it was very good, great taste to the sauce and it was cooked well. I order a simple breakfast eggs bacon and potatoes.. I had some of their hot pepper sauce and it was spicy!! But it was good paired with the potatoes . The service was great the girl was super nice and always checking to make sure everything was well and just in case we needed anything else. She always had our coffee cups full. read more

Super cute lil hole in the wall, my favorite! I had the cheesesteak with lettuce and tomato, and homemade lemonade. Everything was delicious, and wow does that lemonade pack a punch! Oscar was a fantastic waiter, super fun! read more

Tasty food and excellent service. Small, cozy spot with good vibes. Went for lunch with my family. Everyone was happy with what they ordered: silver dollar pancakes, chicken fried steak and breakfast burrito. Oskar was super friendly. read more

While visiting some family, I was recommended Franklin's as the breakfast spot to visit. I was very happy with my meal at this cute little place. Grabbed some fresh OJ, eggs, sourdough toast, fruit, and their housemade sausage. Everything was delicious, but the sausage was the star of the meal. It had tons of flavor and seasoning. I was very impressed. My server was super friendly as well. I wish I lived in CDA so I could come back. read more

Had b'fast here in July 2025. Great food, great service! Off the beaten path but well worth it.

This place is off the main drag for tourists, but must be a local favorite! Best veggie omelet I've ever had! The staff is very friendly and attentive! We enjoyed the outside deck with a huge tree to add to the charm! read more

Had the OG Steak. Sat at the counter - a no frills ambiance which I'm into. Definitely was in a "locals" joint as a tourist (here for a conference) but the staff was super welcoming. Loved that the grillmaster seemed to know everyone. My server was running around everywhere but was friendly and attentive. The cheesesteak was a great sandwich. Not like a true "Philly steak" with grilled bread, but good. The grilled home fried potatoes (subbed them for the bag of chips) were excellent. Great bang for the buck. read more

I LOVE supporting places like this. Small, established, off the beaten path. It was so important to me to support this kind of establishment that I made my kids walk uphill in the heat. Whining and groaning and begging. I kept saying "it'll be worth it! Amazing sandwiches coming up!" We got there at 1:30. They told us they weren't serving anyone the rest of the day and walked away. Their hours said they close at 2:00. I get it. I never want to be the jerk who rolls in right before closing. But a half hour? On a weekend? At a sandwich place? And to be rude about it? I tried to support yall... I did. read more

This place is awesome! Great food, great service, and fun drinks! Seated us on the deck - perfect!

Have seen this place but finally went in. It is a dive/greasy spoon that is great. Had lunch but everything looked great. Prices are right. Its small, tight, and a new favorite. read more

Absolutely F*cking Amazing! All I got was a large pancake (the size of the plate) and some bacon, it's good home style food. Atmosphere is beyond lovely, watching the two cooks just laughing and singing along to the songs over the speakers, the waiter sitting down and talking to everyone with the biggest bright smile ever. Its a just a happy, bright, and best of all, great food! read more

Here we sit after another delicious breakfast. The service, the music and THE FOOD has never been less than supreme. Clearly we have fan girl/boy crushes. We are picky, we cook, and we don't want to mislead you. The use of flavors, sauces, quality ingredients is.... Well, as it should be. The prices are also fair. Sadly - can't figure out how to get camera pictures into this platform. The California Benedict and the Franklin skillet remain our favorites. read more

Suchhhh a cutie hidden gem of a spot. The name is deceiving- as they have breakfast and lunch all day! Chicken fried steak was a little small but delicious and the gravy was amazing. The staff was fantastic - like beyond friendly and helpful. It's tight in here but so cute and definitely going to be a spot we hit again. read more

Best Mom n' Pop breakfast and sandwiches in town...hands down. Great service, great food!

Their benedicts and specials are always so so good. We don't usually care about prices of food, but when it tastes that good, you gotta brag about it. Every time we go there, we know we're about to walk out full but energized without any worries about our wallets. read more

First step: order a mimosa ... Not the flute, the pint. I'd recommend the fresh squeezed grapefruit ! It's delicious and worth every sip. Alright, I know you're here to find out what's the best thing to eat here, so let's talk about that. For starters, housemade country style gravy, made daily. Enough said. You can and will add it to any meal you get. Do it. If not, you will regret it. Nonseriouslu, order the gravy. Okay, so you got the gravy, now, what's next? You order the chicken fried steak with over easy eggs. Heck, just make sure you get runny eggs. It'll be your best decision once you've tried the roasted red potatoes. If chicken fried steak doesn't suit your cravings, I'd suggest the Frankie's Skillet (with gravy, of course) and with bacon. YUM! Hopefully you'll get Ethan as your server, because he was was absolutely Fantastic! very friendly, fast and attentive. We will absolutely be back if we're ever in town again. Thank you! read more

Just thinking about their sandwiches makes my mouth water. I've only had a few but they've all been insanely delicious. From the bread to the meats to the service. This place is down the road from my house and is always a go to when I want a delicious meal. read more

For what it is, it's excellent. Meaning, there's no ambiance, there's no curation of comfort or aesthetics, but there is delicious food and a culture of its own. The staff is fast, friendly, to the point but also patient. The menu is extensive for both brekkie and lunch items - I got a simple scrambled eggs, side of potatoes and the special Franklin's sausage and it was totally on point. read more

Phoned in an order for pickup. Once I arrived, my weak bladder unfortunately decided to as well. I ran in only to be stopped by a woman feet away from the restroom and told to get out. Explained I had sandwiches for pickup, but need to asap use the toilet. I was again told no and pointed toward the door. "It's not suppose to be open. We're closed." Closed, yet still serving customers at the window. Navigating life with a weak bladder is a humiliating experience. Thankfully the barber shop next door saw my panic and offered their facilities. I walked away from the sandwiches as the same woman had the audacity to continue to announce they were ready. No idea what they taste like, but at least still have my dignity by not wetting myself in the parking lot and paying money for it. read more

Franklin's is the locals secret hoagie shop. I don't want to write a review because I don't want the secret out. Joe and his staff do an amazing job, and it is a treat anytime we need a hoagie. I think the family favorite is the original, but the whole menu is full of great choices read more

Took the family here for breakfast. Food was great, country fried steak was excellent and my daughter loved the french toast. The true test, my daughter ate all her scrambled eggs and said they tasted homemade. You could tell they were cooked with care, moist and fluffy. read more

Franklin's is a small "sandwich" shop on the corner of 4th street in downtown CDA. This place is small (7 tables and 5 seats at the counter) with an open kitchen and seating outside on a wooden deck. This place is open from 7am to 3 pm and not only serves sandwiches but breakfast as well. I stopped in here looking for a quick breakfast and opted for the breakfast burrito and a large orange juice to go. The orange juice came out first and I have to say it was the freshest orange juice I have ever tasted. The breakfast burrito I ordered comes with eggs, cheese, onions, peppers, mushrooms, diced potatoes and one choice of meat but I decided to do bacon and sausage and paid 50 cents more for the flame thrower option. That's where they put jalapeño and ghost pepper sauce in it as well. I had them add the jalapeños inside but put the ghost pepper sauce on the side. As I waited for my burrito to be made I looked around the small, clean scantily decorated restaurant and just watched as the one waitress went from table to table greeting people who were sitting and people who were coming in by name. You could tell this place had a string of regulars that dine here and for good reason. Soon my burrito was ready and I opened up the container to check that everything was good. The burrito was a hefty size and was cut in half for me. The filling looked amazing and I couldn't wait to put some of the salsa, sour cream and the ghost pepper sauce that came with it on the burrito. When I got to where I was going I tried the burrito with all three of the sauces. It was so good! The salsa and sour cream helped cool things down with the extremely HOT ghost pepper sauce! I really enjoyed all of it and it was definitely filling. If they do breakfast this well I'm definitely coming back to try their sandwiches!! read more

It is not all that. I do not get why people like this place, I thought is was bland and had mediocre quality.

Awesome food! The owner was super cool. He knew all of the regulars by name and the staff was super friendly, especially to non-locals. Definitely recommend this spot for breakfast/brunch. The micheladas were also yummy! read more

This place was a nice find (thanks Yelp!) for a quick lunch bite while in CDA for a funeral. Very small home style sandwich joint. Staff was incredibly helpful and super friendly. The recommendation for the sandwich came from the staff member serving our table, the hot Italian did not disappoint. Served with homemade potato chips and homemade house horsey sauce which was a nice spicy addition to the Italian. read more

Traveling through and around Idaho. Stopped here for lunch. It's the most little adorable cafe I have ever been to. Sit outside if you can. There is a beautiful tree growing up through the middle of the patio deck that shades the patio. It's so peaceful. I ordered the Havarti BLT. Very yummy. My husband ordered the special of the day the brisket quesadilla which was AMAZING! If they have that, I suggest you order it. read more

Rudest staff I've ever come in contact with. Sandwiches were not great. Super dry. We had Phillies somewhere in Sandpoint the day before that were 100x better. Anyway, we ordered like 10 sandwiches ($100 or more) TO GO and while we were waiting for our food, the waitress and cook asked us to leave and got mad because my cousin was finishing a small açaí bowl from a place down the street. She said you can't have any outside food you need to get out. SO RUDE. We were literally just waiting for our food!!! Seriously do not eat here. The lady flipped us off on the way out too. read more

This is a cute little breakfast brunch place. I really enjoyed the franklins skillet. It was delicious. The popular hoagie was alright, a bit underflavored. It's a family owned business so they were understaffed. Just be patient...Your food will come. Our waitress seemed to work hard at getting everyone's orders in. If you're in a hurry this place may not be the right place for you to sit down and eat. Again, order the franklins skillet. It won't disappoint! read more
