Frannie's Cafe 812 Iowa Avenue, Onawa, IA 51040

"What a nice, clean restaurant with friendly staff and delicious food! We've been here several times now for breakfast, and it's been outstanding every time! If we didn't live 40 minutes from Onawa, we would definitely go there more often. They close at 2pm and they do serve lunch items. I will definitely have to try something besides breakfast next I go there. I am sure their lunch items are as delicious as their breakfast! I believe you can have breakfast or lunch all day. Generous portions and not too pricey."

"I ordered my favorite crispy chicken ranch wrap ‘to go’ today. When I got home, I found this in my bag. Wow! What an uplifting comment to make my day one to remember! Frannie’s is THE BEST hometown cafe I have been to! The service is impeccable. The food is outstanding. The prices are so reasonable. My favorite is their daily specials! Such a treat to have Frannie’s in my town!"

"A classic small town cafe. The staff was very friendly, knew everyone. The restaurant itself was clean AMF open. I was with a fairly large group and our food arrived hot at the same time. That was nice! Definitely a go to place to eat!"

"My wife and I stopped here for some breakfast/lunch after leaving Sioux City and wanting to get out of the city before getting something to eat. We were headed south and looked up places to eat and this place came up and we decided to try it. We love eating at places other than commercialized fast food if we can help it, like McDonalds, or Hardee’s and such. This place was a hidden gem for sure! It’s past all the interstate business about a mile or so into the small town so we knew this was gonna be a local spot for sure. The construction in the town almost makes it look like nothing is open and the town is deserted but it is not! The only thing that caught our eye was the little open neon sign in the front of the store and that let us know we should be in luck. There looks to be a parking lot behind the store but we parked at the end of the street by the railroad tracks and walked down. It’s a very nice feeling small town. When we walked in we were greeted and asked to set anywhere so we did. We were told they serve breakfast all day and that was awesome because by the time we got there from leaving our hotel which did not serve breakfast was about 11-11:30am. I got the hungry farmer omelette with hash browns and muffin toast. I had never heard of it before and the waitress said it was like toast but it was English muffin and recommended it. I’m sure glad I ordered it. Best toast I’ve had with any breakfast! My wife got the hot hamburger to try something new and loved it but it was so much food! The prices are very low compared to where we had been getting food around major tourist spots. 10/10 definitely recommend!"

"The town looked deserted, but when we walked in, Frannies was PACKED! The place is clean & bright, amazing! Food is delicious and the staff is top notch! So glad we stopped!"
