Always try the bowl of gumbo here, very good served with potato salad as your meal... I have been living at the Best Western Franklin Hotel for going on three months straight October-December .

Personally, I love the Crab Corn bisque myself. Best thing is to get one of the printed out menus to have on hand and always get extra meals to go.
