Frank's Restaurant has become a staple of Baton Rouge cuisine. If you live in the area, you've either eaten at Frank's or you've heard of it. Franks, offers a wide variety of food choices that ranges from breakfast (served all day) to dinner.

Today, my friend and I decided to go golfing. We got out there really, really early. The temperature was below freezing and so were we. After a chilling round of golf (I won of course), we decided to head to Frank's for some breakfast.

Frank's is mainly known for their breakfast, although this place stays packed seemingly from morning until the evening. I went with the Alligator Sausage Breakfast Platter featuring two links of alligator sausage, two eggs, grits, and two gigantic biscuits. There is no doubt that you won't leave this place with an empty stomach.

The alligator sausage was terrific. It was juicy, tender and was packed with flavor. The made-from-scratch biscuits at franks are some of the best in the area.

I am I regular to this place and for those seeking a great chicken fried steak or cheeseburger, Frank's is the place. The chicken fried steak here is delicious. It has a rich flavor and a nice chewable texture that’s not too hard like you find with other chicken fried steaks. The steak is then topped off with thick and creamy white gravy. Just makes me want to say "Ummm Ummm"!

Food Rating: 5 out of 5 Lagniappe Up!

Service
Like I said above, Frank's stays pretty busy. Be prepared for a little wait. Other than that, the waitresses work very hard and do a great job serving customers and the food has never really took that long to come out.

Atmosphere
Franks has that old country atmosphere much like a Cracker Barrel. It has a ton of old plow tools and LSU memorabilia hanging from the walls. The style of the restaurant really works well with the food that is served here.

As far as room goes, the place can get cramped with all the people and tends to be a bit noisy.
