Briny catches from surrounding waters, craft cocktails, and OCBC brews from our hometown brewery. At the Franklin Café and Parlor Bar, we source fresh and serve simply—honoring the spirit and traditions of the Gibson Inn’s original Franklin Café, which opened in 1907. We invite you to drop in for a Southern-style breakfast, lunch or dinner on the porch, or a Happy Hour toast, as we turn the tide on all-day dining in Apalachicola.

Open Daily for Breakfast 8am-11am, Lunch 11am-5pm, and Dinner 5pm-9pm. Weekend Brunch every Saturday and Sunday! Daily Happy Hour from 3pm-5pm.

This was a lovely experience for my 25th wedding anniversary. Celebrating with my family. The only problem is that I had reserved a table for 10 and they sat us at a table for 14 and I did not want to be spread all out. I asked them to remove a table And that fixed the problem. Since this reservation had been made several weeks ago I feel the table should’ve been set up correctly to begin with. Other than that, everything was excellent.

Honestly we expected a better food experience at Franklin Café, especially since it was highly recommended by friends. I ordered the filet, with mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. The asparagus had little flavor and seemed like it was boiled vs grilled. My wife had the red fish dish. She had a similar meal the night before elsewhere and her previous dish was way better than the one at Franklin. Afterwards she realized that they forgot to add the sauce that was supposed to come on the fish, which probably accounted for why the fish was unimpressive. I think we would give Franklin Café another shot someday, but we definitely left a bit disappointed.

We went into this experience knowing there were mixed reviews, but it was the only restaurant in Apalachicola that took OpenTable reservations on July 4th. The service at the Franklin didn’t seem to be the issue, but the speed of the kitchen. We waited ages for our meal, as did the tables around us. After waiting around a half hour, the waitress told us a key piece of my husband’s meal was out, and would he like a substitute. He ordered broccoli. When our meal came another 10 minutes later, he’d received Brussels sprouts, not broccoli. It was another 10 minutes before he got his broccoli. We were already done. I ordered the fresh catch blackened. It was a piece of redfish on a plate of rice with five small Brussels sprouts. The cost was $36. This isn’t a fine dining experience, it’s just the most expensive dining in town. We had much better food at the local dives, for much less money.

We never got seated despite having a reservation. Patrons did not appear to be pleased with service so we left.

We were a group of 12, only 4 other people in place. 2/12 liked their meal (crab cakes) No one finished their meal. My steak was half well done, half medium rare, ordered medium. 100% bland other than char.

The food was very tasty, though they haven't changed their menu since last year and we were hoping for some variety. We enjoyed the shrimp and grits and steak. The specialty cocktails were delicious.

We had stayed and dined here 3 years ago and it was a pleasant experience. We were excited to return. Our excitement turned to disappointment almost immediately. We had to push our tables together to make enough seat for 5 people. We waited 15 minutes for someone to take our drinks order. When asked which beer was on tap, our server had to go find out. We were later told, light, medium or dark. I had remembered there being a Bar Menu but this was not on offer, therefore there was nothing on the menu that appealed. I ended up with a wedge salad swimming in dressing. Others had forgettable shrimp and grits. The food was overpriced and not enjoyable. All in all it was an experience I’ll not repeat. We had planned to go for breakfast but decided against it. This is such a shame because The Gibson had held a special place in my memory.
