My wife and I visited Apalachicola and stayed at The Gibson Inn. The feel of The Franklin Cafe mimicked that of the historic Inn where it’s located.

The meals we had over two days were all excellent. The Chef deserves the rating I gave!

We had the Shrimp Scampi, Oyster Rockerfellers, Fried Oysters, Crab Cakes, and Oysters on the half-shell. I only wish I could have tried the Key-lime Pie. I didn’t have room either night we stayed there.

Shared a steak/frites and had a caesar salad. Lettuce was a bit tired and the salad was very cold. Steak was cooked more than the rare we had asked for. Not the best tasting meat for what it cost. Fries were OK. Service was great. Restaurant filled up quickly and noise was not a factor. We would definitely give the cafe a second visit and chance! Diana and Denny Nevala
