“ This place was so casual and fun! I loved the atmosphere, and the restaurant was surprisingly big inside. They were playing Halloween music, and the staff were in costumes. Our waitress was an absolute doll, so friendly and easy to talk to. We ordered the fried onion and peppers, and LET ME TELL YOU!! The fried peppers were so dang good!! As was the red beans and rice. I can't recommend this place enough. ”
“ We were recommended to visit for some delicious food and we were not steered wrong! Tried a few delicious things, shrimp po boy, gumbo, red beans and rice with grilled chicken, the spinach and artichoke dip to name a few. It was all made with love. Absolutely delicious. The servers were kind, even went out of their way to give my daughter a book and all of my kids stuffed animals. ”
“ I almost don't want to share b/c the place is a hidden gem. The grilled oysters were fantastic and so were the mudbugs. Service was friendly and attentive. ”
“ The chargrilled oysters were the best I’ve ever had. And, the fried oysters were FANTASTIC! Our server was awesome. She had a great personality, very attentive but not too attentive. Highly,highly recommend! ”
“ This was old school high quality service from the moment you walked it. From the host to each of the servers, they all interacted with you and were helpful. Our server even brought a little stuffed animal over to our toddler to help entertain her while we waited for her food. This was our first visit, but it felt like we had been there many times and knew everyone the way we were treated. Very impressed. The food was 4/5. Red beans and rice was 5/5 but the rest was just very good, not excellent. Still a good value for the price. Enjoyed every aspect of our visit and will be back again. ”
“ What can I say that you don’t already know about Frankie & Johnny’s. I hadn’t been there since I was a kid and man it was still fantastic. I decided on the shrimp poboy and cup of gumbo. Man...... was it good. When I am in town next, I will be back. ”
“ Was able to try this place out and so glad we did. Good food, and the service from Whitney was an experience. That real southern hospitality. She was so kind, informative and we were happy to have met her during our meal. Will be back at our next visit. The fried shrimp is on point. You can tell this place has a lot of history and many visits from well known names. ”
