Best brunch spot in Franklin Square. Absolutely obsessed with the avocado toast. I could eat this everyday! The egg Benedict was pretty good. The pancakes are yummy. The truffle chicken sandwich is a great lunch option. Even the hummus and crackers were good. The chicken and waffles are delicious. Service is great & the ambiance is super cute.
Such a great neighborhood spot for brunch! This has been on my list for forever and we finally stopped in a few days ago. The owners were there and were super kind, checking in on us and making sure we were taken care of. The entrees are MASSIVE! We tried a handful of different things and everything was delicious - from the corned beef hash to the wings to the smashed burger. They also have a great selection of coffees, which I loved. It does get busy so I would say to make a reservation. Overall, a great brunch spot that I recommend.
Breakfast at Franklin & Phoebe was excellent. My guests and I arrived around 2 PM, and there was no wait. The entire restaurant was nicely decorated and very clean, allowing us to sit down, view the menu, and order our food quickly. Our waitress was a sweetheart; she was both friendly and polite. I really appreciated the variety of food options, so many that it could please even the pickiest of eaters. I ordered The Fit Guru and the omelette was light and tasty. The Strawberry Kisses were on point, not too sweet, it had a nice flavor to them, which made it easy to want to devour them in one sitting. Even the home fries were nicely seasoned (definitely one of the best on LI). I would absolutely return and recommend this place to others.
This was my first time visiting Franklin & Phoebe. It was on my list of places to visit for a while but hadn't gotten around to it. I'm glad I finally made it there! When we arrived people were standing outside waiting. This was actually a good sign to me because good food is always worth a wait. After 20 minutes my children and I were seated. We had a burger, pancakes and a traditional egg and home fries platter. We all enjoyed our food. It came out very quickly for the amount of customers there. Even picky son had zero complaints. He ate his whole triple smash burger! I tried his steak fries which were also delicious. My daughter's pancakes were flaky and light. I especially loved the sausage that came with my meal. Mimosa was a perfect touch to the meal. I didn't catch our servers name but she was great also. Glad we made it here and we will be back to try other dishes soon.
Went here with friend to have a quick meal. The restaurant is family owned and appears to be popular. 3 good sized dining areas in addition to a bar with seats. Friendly greeter (maybe owner???). Asked to sit at a booth but he ignore request and took us to a table at one of the dining areas because the booth people were just leaving. Ordered a Greek salad with grilled Chicken and a yogurt bowl with granola, Nutella, peanut butter, strawberries & bananas, coconut shavings and whipped cream. Had to wait awhile to get served and what was a long time for the orders to come out. The 3 stars rating was due to the slow service. If you have the time to wait and you want to support local business, then go here.
The place was very busy, but we were able to get in and sit down right away. The waitress was super friendly and we started off with iced coffees. We split the Greek fries as a starter. I thought that they were very good but they were definitely very greasy. I ended up going with the wedge salad with chicken on it. The salad itself was fine, but there was a lot of blue cheese dressing on it so I would definitely recommend getting the dressing on the side. The chicken on the salad was just meh. It was very thin chicken. Overall, it was very nice inside the restaurant like a mixture of a diner with a brunch place.
Everything is good here, the staff is friendly and attentive, knowledgeable of the menu. The ambiance is quiet and relaxing, don't feel rushed by staff. The decor changes with the time of year (holidays). They have a bar with good drinks. The food is on point, I've come here often and never disappointed.
Met a friend for breakfast yesterday(6/8/2026). Used to come here when it was The Alpine Restaurant, always a great meal then. Same owner, Teddy, with new name of Restaurant as Franklin & Phoebe Brunchery, great name being it's located on those two corner streets. We were both tempted by so many great menu selections, but we both opted for flatbreads. Great choice for both of us, delicious & plenty of leftovers to take home. I also had an ice coffee frappe, drank that quick because it was so good. Sweet waitress and Teddy had the place redone inside, so different from when it was The Alpine. The gray ' black nicely padded booths are extremely comfortable, very cozy & quiet. We'll be back.
We were able to be seated at a booth which gave us plenty of space. The waitresses had really good energy which is welcoming. I am a big fan of Scrambles. Not every diner carry scrambles. Scramble is basically a cheese omelette served on top of chopped up bacon and sausage all mixed together served in a frying pan This ensures that it stays hot. Franklin and Phoebe's version was substantial. They substituted the bread option I normally receive with a 1/4 waffle option which was a nice twist. They had a drink options outside or orange juice, grape fruit etc which if I had more time I would have tried if I had more time. As it is a brunch diner, they closed at 3:30 but left as happy campers. Ultimately though I was impressed and would return.
The food wasn't bad. Coffee was really good. Staff is not very friendly though so that kind of ruins the vibe of the place.
Came here yesterday for the second time in less than 10 days. The first time I had the Hungry Farmer Skillet. It was absolutely delicious!!...but come on an empty stomach when you order this bad boy!! The second time I ordered the equally delicious Eggs over easy with Applewood Bacon and Homefries. The food is delicious and reasonably priced, the ambience is bright with a good vibe, the staff is very polite and friendly. I look forward to my next meal here.
Found F&P on Instagram. Food looked tasty. Well I can tell you that the IG post was accurate. The visuals alone are mouth watering. Simply watching other patrons orders wiz by may cause you to change your order. I ordered the Hungry Farmer Scramble Skillet. Don't let the skillet size fool you. This is a two session meal. My wife ordered the Whisky Barrel Apple pancakes. She says they were amazing. Our server was really nice. Although busy, she checked on us periodically to ensure we were taken care of. The place it self is nicely decorated. With a modern yet homely feel. Even adding some holiday fall decor. Back to this menu... it is a must that I return and try out the other offerings. Everything that passed our table looked outstanding. Our food was really good. So I'm looking forward to returning.
This was my first time to Franklin and Phoebe Brunchery and it will not be my last. I have not been here since the new owners took over this space and they did a great job renovating and refreshing the dining room. It's quite comfortable and inviting. We loved the menu offerings and it's a great place to go for breakfast or brunch. We ordered the. Traditional eggs benedict as well as scrambled eggs with homemade corned beef hash. Both were delicious and we would re-order them in the future although next time I want to try something different. I must point out the absolutely delicious hashbrowns that came with each dish. Normally I don't enjoy hashbrowns, but my mouth is already watering for the next time I can eat them there.

Shimmering lemonade, yup! Cannoli breakfast tacos, check! Delicious daily special, sign me up! Meeting a friend for brunch and this spot immediately caught my eye. Not sure what brought us to Franklin Square, but I'm glad we came here. The place is adorbs. The menu is fire. I need to try every thing ok it. This time I got the fig and prosciutto toast with a side of corned beef hash. The toast was fire amazing. I kinda thought the orange marmalade was a bit over powering but that's my flavor preference. It was a hard decision to pick what to east. So many damn good dishes. Staff was super sweet and quick although we didn't feel rushed. Putting this on my list of go tos for sure! read more

Came for brunch on weekday about 2 hours before closing (they close at 3:30pm). It's cute and cozy place which was clean and organized. Staff were friendly and overall attentive. Didn't feel rushed at all. The French toast came with strawberry and whipped cream. Asked for side of scrabbled egg white which were good. Guest got Baklava pancakes which were on the sweeter side but pancakes were big and moist. For drinks got the mimosas flight which was four different flavors of mimosas. Was good but green (apple flavor maybe) wasn't my flavor. Guest was able to switch flavor and replace apple with lavender and that was good. Overall, was cute brunch place. They have small outdoor seating as well. Would definitely return. read more

Finally made it to F&P for brunch and I'm so glad I did! It's located right on the corner with street parking available, which made it super convenient.I didn't get pictures of the food I was too excited to eat but I ordered the Spartan omelette and it was SO good. It comes with home fries and your choice of white or wheat toast. The omelette had sautéed fresh spinach, tomatoes, red onions, feta, and tzatziki sauce super flavorful and perfectly cooked. We also had the steak and eggs and wow... that steak was amazing. Cooked just right and full of flavor and let's not forget the amazing coffee they had a mocha iced latte so so good .The service really stood out too very attentive and friendly the entire time.Definitely a spot I'd come back to for brunch again! read more
Really cute place with lots of aesthetically pleasing food. The older gentleman in the front was so friendly and nice. They were a little busy for the weekday because the kids were out of school this week. The waitress was kind enough to move us to a bigger table when we asked because we were ordering a lot of food. The potatoes and the eggs were the only things that I really liked, everything else was just okay.. nothing worth returning for in my opinion. read more

Nice cozy brunch spot in LI. The baklava pancakes were extremely sweet and plentiful. Presentation of the dishes were pretty. Next time ill try less sugary items. The latte was delicious but also very sweet. read more
Came here for a birthday brunch for Grandma! When you walk in it is decorated kind of like an upscale diner. Their menu options were expansive and the quality of the food seemed really good. Our server was okay. She wasn't happy when I sent something back because she didn't bring it how I had asked but other than that it was fine. read more
I was very excited for this new brunch spot to open in the neighborhood! Food was pretty delicious! Pancakes are super fluffy and soft! There are plenty of options on the menu for everyone! Would definitely come back for brunch again! But, the iced coffee was very weak and tasted watered down. Service was also pretty good, the wait staff and servers were friendly and walked around to make sure everyone was happy. Only suggestion would be to mention long wait times when guests first arrive through the door. We were just standing in the corner for a while waiting for someone to tell us how long the wait would be. Atmosphere was nice. The inside is newly renovated and feels modern. They have a really nice bar and the tables are not too crowded together. Overall, definitely a staple brunch spot and would be back! read more

When we arrived we were greeted , but were not directed on what was happening. The man just walked away without saying anything. I asked the woman are we following him? She responded "I don't know, maybe" which I found rude. We ordered two iced coffees where they charge a $1 extra for any syrup/ flavor in it. My boyfriend got the breakfast burrito and I got the spartan omelette. However, on my omelette there was a long hair sitting on top of it and then at the end of my meal I noticed a short hair next to the garnish. Gross! Aside from the hairiness, Both were good and flavorful, served with home fries. The place itself is decorated with florals and bright lighting. I would recommend they are just a little more careful with the cleanliness and hair in food, as well as the greeter to speak up and maybe be a bit friendlier! read more

This is probably my new go to brunch spot on Long Island! When my family and I visited, we were warmly greeted by the staff here. We loved how the menu items had a unique twist to traditional brunch food. I ordered the Baklava Butter Crumble Pancakes and loved how fluffy they were. Without the syrup it already had the prefect level of sweetness. I also tried some of the Biscuits & Crazee and The Spartan omelette. The gravy was the perfect consistency and the omelette tasted very fresh though it was smaller compared to other diners. There is a good amount of seating inside which made the atmosphere feel relaxed while we were enjoying our meal. read more

Got seated in like 10 min. Nice ambience but a little loud. Great menu options. Fair pricing. Solid service. Brioche burger was one of the best I've had. Very filling read more
Franklin & Phoebe Brunchery, named after the streets that intersect their location is an new concept from the long time owners of the previous establishment that was here, Alpine. I can't say I ever went to the Alpine, but I was surely happy when this place popped up of nearby breakfast spots. Frankly, a destination breakfast spot is what this area needed especially after the loss of a couple of diners nearby. FPB is a looker - very modern and more of an upscale feel than most diners or nearby breakfast spots. Unfortunately many of the clientele didn't match the vibe with many looking like they just rolled out of bed still wearing their PJs, but hey, that's Long Island baby! The menu has everything you could expect from a brunch spot with all the crowd pleasing favorites - benedicts, pancakes, French toast, omelettes, etc.. We decided on the Chambrey omelette which had Canadian Bacon, Mushrooms, Roasted Red Peppers, Scallions and Goat Cheese. It was a tasty combo and I liked my crispy home fries with it, but one slice of toast felt a little skimpy. The Sunny Day Flatbread is a good sharable dish, but the addition of grilled potatoes (home fries) on top of the flat bread makes you wonder why the carb on carb action? The flatbread also felt pretty dense. To go with the food I had a very nicely made cappuccino, but they also have a full bar if you choose to make your brunch boozy. I though the service was very good and attentive. The food for the most part was diner style, but zhuzhed up a bit - then again in this Instagram age most diners are zhuzing it up as well. A couple of tweaks and this place could and should be a full 5 stars. read more
Great food and tastes super yummy! We were lucky and there was no wait at 11:30am on a Sunday for 7 of us. Everything looked clean and the bathroom even had a baby changer! Food took a long time to come out which is why 4 stars. The food was really good! Baklava pancake and the steak flatbread were our favorite! Strawberry french toast had whipped cheesecake but wish it was more cheesy haha! Would come back again in a smaller party! Also the baklava sundae was also very yummy! pricing is also great compared to city pricing read more

My review is long overdue. I had the intention to post a review shortly after my dining experience, however I hadn't set aside the time to write a review as life has been on express mode. I had dined here once prior and was pleasantly impressed. I chose to have Brunch on Mother's Day with a relative. Unfortunately, due to planning difficulties, the person was not able to join Me. I had waited two hours for an available table, and did not want to have the time I waited, to be in vain, and so I decided to dine alone. The menu is expansive, many choices and variations, all freshly prepared and cooked. I ordered the French toast and scrambled eggs & apple juice. Perfectly cooked and presentation was lovely. Upon completion of enjoying my brunch, I requested the check. And much to my surprise, my waitress informed me that "your check has been taken care of" I was moved to tears. I inquired whom but was informed once more that my check was taken care of. I do Not know if it was a fellow patron or the owner. The kind gesture touched my heart and made my day. Franklin and Phoebe Brunchery is a quaint, feels like home, cute restaurant, quite popular , serves amazing food perfectly seasoned temperatured and easy on the pockets prices. Plan ahead and make a reservation for best results, (no long waiting ). It's the Go to place for Weekend Brunch You won't be disappointed. Cheers Everyone read more

Decided to stop by for brunch and was pleasantly surprised. The restaurant is in a weird location and I've passed by many times not realizing it was a restaurant. I came today and throughly enjoyed my experience. I ordered the farmers skillet and it was so yummy. There is a lot of sausage and meat in it and it was very, very filling. The place was very busy so service was a tad slow and the place was very, very loud that I felt like I was screaming when talking to people across the table. Other than that, I really liked it. It was very clean and had a nice ambiance. Will absolutely be coming back. read more
I finally checked out Franklin & Phoebe in Franklin Square and it definitely lived up to the hype. The vibe is what really stood out first it has that classic diner feel but done in a more modern, upscale way. Comfortable, stylish, and the kind of place you can come for brunch with friends or grab a drink and linger. The food was excellent. I had the shrimp cannoli flatbread to start and it was so good perfectly balanced and full of flavor. For my main, I ordered the breakfast bowl and it was super filling and satisfying without being heavy. Everything tasted fresh and well thought out. The drinks were just as good. I had the strawberry coconut margarita which was really enjoyable not too sweet and very refreshing, and my friend ordered the espresso martini which was delicious and honestly tempting me to get one next time. The wait staff was attentive, friendly, and on top of everything without being overbearing, which always makes a big difference. Prices were very reasonable too brunch dishes averaged around $20 and cocktails were about $15, which feels like a great price point for the quality. Overall, great food, great drinks, great service. I would absolutely go back and recommend it if you're in the area. read more

Formally the Alpine restaurant, they did a wonderful job updating and renovating this space. Conveniently located on Franklin right off of Hempstead Turnpike, this brunch spot holds true to its name. Eggs, Benedict and mimosas were in order. The eggs were poached perfectly and the hollandaise Was delightfully Light. The side of potatoes were definitely not an afterthought as they were perfectly seasoned and slightly well done to perfection. Decent selection of hot sauces. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Cozy ambience, and clean bathrooms. read more

Found this place by complete accident. Was looking for another brunch place because the original spot I was going to was closed. Went on an early Sunday morning - and it was so welcoming. The inside has many options for seating. Booths or regular tables and chairs. The menu is huge and offers different types of milks for those who need it. I also ordered a drink and asked them the make it to no alcohol and they had no issues. Portions are huge. So come hungry. We took a lot home. The wait staff is very attentive, quick, and respectful. Please visit if you are in the area. You will not be disappointed. read more

Stopped in for brunch last Friday around 11am. It wasn't super busy, but service was slow and inattentive. My water glass remained empty and no coffee refill was offered. The food was good, but the cannoli taco pancakes and baklava pancakes didn't wow me as much as they did other reviewers. I would give it another try, to check out the Benedicts, but this wasn't the best first impression read more
