Plusses\n- Plenty of parking: Fran's is located in the same strip mall with Run for your Life and Fiamma, which means there's parking galore.\n- Attentive waitstaff: Fran herself came over to chat with us and brought crayons for the 2 year old at our table\n- Ecclectic homey food: bacon wrapped tator tots?  Fried sweet corn with goat cheese ranch dressing?  Meatballs with gooey melted cheese?  Don't mind if I do.\n- Generous portion size: I like to eat, as does everyone I was with, and we were stuffed after our meal.  \n- Price: reasonable, especially considering portion size.  The seafood options are a bit more expensive, but that's to be expected.\n\nMinusses\n- Odd table layout: the front room holds ~10 tables and bar seating, but as you head to the bathroom in the back, there are tables along the hallway and oddly placed near the kitchen pickup window\n- Menu confusion: Reading the menu, I just want to exclaim \""what IS this place?\""  Deviled eggs, nicoise salad, eggplant parmesan, buffalo fried chicken sandwich, and mussels (three ways: traditional, curry/coconut, or beer/bacon) all co-habitate on the menu.  On one hand, that might mean everyone can find something they like.  On the other hand, it's just weird.  What does Fran's want to be when it grows up?  \n- Food quality & flavors: it's not bad, but it's not amazing either.  The macaroni & cheese side was bland, the lamb ragu was not as good as it had been talked up to be, the chicken milanese was just so-so.  However, the goat cheese was incredible; the goat cheese ranch dressing is a wonderful little cup of surprise (dunk all the way to the bottom, and you'll be rewarded with chunks of soft goat cheese.  You're welcome) and the goat cheese salad that came with the chicken milanese was my favorite of the whole meal.  Moral of the story: if it has goat cheese, GET IT.
