Apr 26, 2026"Franco’s in Louisville serves amazing soul food! The fried chicken and catfish (cooked to order) were perfectly seasoned, and the sides—candied yams, mac & cheese, dressing with chicken gravy, and cornbread—were all delicious. The pound cake with caramel icing and banana pudding were the perfect sweet finish, and the grape drink hit the spot. Customer service was polite and friendly, and the restaurant was clean and welcoming. Only minor note: the collard greens were a bit salty, but overall a fantastic experience. Highly recommend!"

Mar 19, 2026"This restaurant was recommended and it did not disappoint. The fried chicken, chicken and noodles, green beans and cornbread were beyond amazing. To top it off I had the hurricane, which is red and purple koolaid mixed with lemonade. UNBELIEVABLE! 1000 out of 10. If I make it back to Louisville, I’ll definitely return. * in the picture is a social media influencer and I forgot to get his name. He was doing a highlight on the restaurant and I got a picture with him."

Fried Chicken, freshly fried fish, meat loaf always available. Sides tend to stay the same- green beans, mashed potatos, greens, cabbage, Mac and cheeses, corn bread our roll but hey when it works why change it?! Great desserts too! Safe bet you’ll be pleased! Go and enjoy!"
