The Franklin Café offers a varied dining experience that is popular among visitors to Apalachicola. The food is often praised as "very good" and "tasty," with highlights including shrimp and grits, steak, and stuffed flounder. However, some diners have noted that the menu hasn't changed in a while and expressed a desire for more variety. The service can be inconsistent; while some staff members are attentive and helpful, other experiences included long wait times. One reviewer mentioned a great server named Sara, who provided excellent service during a birthday dinner. The restaurant's charming decor contributes to its appeal, and the wine selection has been described as the best in the area. The atmosphere is considered "to die for," making The Franklin Café a noteworthy dining option, despite some mixed reviews on food consistency and service.
