Awesome fried chicken, green beans and corn pudding. Others in our party had ribs and fried catfish. We all had plenty to eat at a great price. Friendly staff and lots of good choices!

I'd been wanting to try Franco's for years as I've passed by this Dixie Hwy establishment more times than I can tell.
So, after picking up my oldest son after a dental appointment, why not try out that new filling on some good ol' home cooking? Seemed like a plan at the time.
Franco's is located just off Dixie Hwy, going toward Shively if you're coming off the Watterson (aka Shawnee Expressway on this end of town). The signage is noticeable as is the distinct red shingled roof, so you shouldn't miss it.
The interior is spacious and this is cafeteria-style dining, so you might want to call ahead for the day's specials. However, all the food is good so it's unlikely you'll pick a bad day. This is no-frills eating, good food, friendly counter service but the presentation is based on taste only, and if you like your food based on the way grandma used to make it, Franco's presents just fine. I give it 3.5 stars, leaning to the 4.

My first stop off the airplane. Awesome fried catfish dinner with potatoes. Definitely a local spot with local flare. From the counter attendants yelling from behind the counter to the owner sitting in the dining area eating with his old school buddies...a great spot for a quick soul food lunch.However, be prepared to leave smelling like fried chicken and cornbread.

I can't believe I am the first person to review this place on Yelp, much less that I had to add the listing myself. This place has by far the best soul food in this city. The collard greens and brisket are amazing. Only Smoketown USA compares in terms of brisket.
