Awesome breakfast burritos and there's just something so different about their home fries and grilled veggies - yum!

This place is horrible. I have tried Fran's about three times now, once for dinner and twice for lunch. They are over priced and the food is flavorless. The only plus is location. As for alcohol, the bartenders always have an attitude and drinks are totally over priced. Please do your self a favor and try all the other awesome restaurants New Hope has to offer and skip past this place. read more

Such a perfect lunch. Blue cheese burger ordered medium rare was made to perfection. The pizza was amazing. Bartender was a doll.

Really sunny Sunday afternoon, so we stopped at Fran's for a beer and a snack. Wasn't expecting too much; looked like a bar that happens to serve food. Wings were really good. Nicely cooked, but still moist. Pretty good pizza. Thin crust, good marinara. The server was on top of things, too. Sat outside facing the sun. Great afternoon! But $6.50 for a Stella draft? 10oz plastic cup? Jeez! Drink slow! read more

Disappointed! I was looking forward to dining in New Hope but this was just the wrong place. The spinach and artichoke dip came with stale chips and the portion was ridiculously tiny. I ordered the taco salad which was just okay and my husband ordered the buffalo chicken salad which. again, was nothing good. Not my idea of good food. read more

My wife and I stopped there for lunch. We live locally and are familiar with many places in town but have never eaten at Fran's Pub. The service was fine, a friendly and knowledgeable server. The food however was extremely average bordering poor. To add insult to injury, the price for a draft Blue Moon was the highest I have ever paid anywhere for ANY draft. With so many other places in town, we won't be back . read more

I wish I could give this place more stars, it use to be such an awesome place. Sadly, it's nothing what it use to be. The bar it's self is awful, you pay ten bucks for a vodka drink and the alcohol pour is less then a second. You can tell they're cheap people, the bar tender Chris tried charging me for a drink I didn't even had. There's better bars in town. read more

This place was terrible. We went on a Sunday afternoon, there were plenty of open tables but it took about fifteen minutes before any helped us. That should have been our cue to leave. Beer was way overpriced (5$ for a yuengling?). Wings were ok. Taco salad was disgusting (canned mushrooms and canned roasted red peppers) and it was served on a flour tortilla, which they did not specify in the description and I cannot eat gluten. The eggplant parm sandwich was not edible, my husband nearly choked on it because it was so undercooked. Should have just demanded good food or not to pay for it..because we ended up shelling out $50 bucks to feel nauseous for two days. Thanks Frans Pub. read more

Fantastic deals on beers and drinks pizza is always on point an burgers melt in your mouth always walking distance anywhere place is well worth going will definitely be returning read more

I'm extremely disappointed with this place. I've come here many times over the years and the price was typically equivalent to the quality of food and service. They've revamped their menu and with the new menu and prices it's kind of sad. I ordered a frans burger medium rare and the bun was so greasy I needed to peel it apart and lay a napkin on it to sop up the ridiculous amount of shit. I understand a med rare burger will be juicy but if you're going to charge $11 dollars for a burger you should let it rest. I've cooked in many places over the years and understand how kitchens run. They substitute brioche buns and charge more for mediocre quality. The server took our friends order and walked away, came back, poured 2 drinks then walked away again. She came back about 4 mins later and asked if we wanted food. It wasn't very busy... I will not be ordering food from here again. Stop trying to be trendy and step up. If you're going to charge premium prices for things then offer premium food read more

I was very shocked to see that this place overcharged my credit card. I paid the bill by credit card and tipped the waitress in cash. later that day when I checked the credit card account I found out that I was charged $25 extra which I guess was the added gratuity and that $25 alone would have been 30% of the bill. Not only that this place sucks but they also try to rip you off and tip themselves 30%. Looks like the waitress did not report the cash tip to her colleague who on his part just added 30% gratuity while the state standard is between 15% to 18%. One more thing to add is that the waiter's hand wrote on the copy of the bill that the "Gratuity is not included". I feel bad for the owner who hires this people and the also has manager's who do not educate their wait staff and enforce the state laws on adding gratuity on parties of 6 or more. Too bad, i will never go to that place ever!! read more

Unpleasant experience for the family. Food was so so, and the waiters were busy. Stopped by after a day trip to nearby farm and historical park but the owner was really nasty and rude. He shouted at the kids for being noisy although the place was a pub, and insulted us as parents and embarrassed us for not reigning in the kids. They were not tearing the place down for goodness sakes, they were just talking and laughing and enjoying themselves after their meal. Kids will always be kids. If they hate kids, they should not have a kids menu! read more

I went to Fran's tonight with a few friends. Our waitress, Kara, was friendly and sweet and on the ball. She took our order and our food came out hot and quick. Our experience wasn't soured until we asked for the check. The server came over and told us she had accidentally given our check to another table. She added that they didn't even look at the bill and paid it. She then told us we had to pay for their bill. This really irritated me because she said it was "around the price of what we ordered." I wanted to make sure it was the exact price. After having to seek out the Manager on our own, he came over, presented me with another receipt that didn't reflect what we had ordered and told us he was almost sure it was discounted more from what we had initially ordered. The check read $46. In my confusion and irritation, I paid the check, believing that this manager, Chris Borden (I believe), was doing right by me and left. I even tipped 20%. He told us it was the server's first night, and I believed it was an honest mistake. I am a manager of a local restaurant in Flemington, where this would never happen. Not only would I have let someone walk away knowing they had paid more than they had ordered (the other table), but I would absolutely have VOIDED out their check in the computer and printed us, the guests in question, a new one, even if that meant re-sending the food to the kitchen and having to ask them not to make it. I do it all the time. It's not rocket science, it's hospitality. After leaving the restaurant I felt unsettled, I felt like I had been made a fool of and I felt like Chris had lied about it being "her first night" to not make himself look bad. I asked if they could make me a buffalo chicken cheesesteak, something not listed on their menu, and the server almost automatically said "yes, absolutely." Being a server and manager, I know that this is not something you would immediately agree to if it's your first night, you check first. She knew exactly what drink I had ordered and knew exactly what she was doing as if she had been working there for quite sometime. Feeling unsettled about my now $53 purchase made out of complete confusion, I called the restaurant about a half hour after I had left and I asked to speak with the GM, hoping that the gentleman, Chris, I had spoken to before was not the GM. The phone was handed to him and I cannot say I have been spoken to by any person of authority more rudely in my life, let alone a General Manager of a restaurant who I would assume deals with these problems all the time. I explained my concern that I was paying for something I had not purchased and that I was never given an itemized receipt of MY purchase... only an itemized discounted receipt of the other swapped table's purchase. He would not let me get a word in and kept harping on the fact that "when you left everything was fine. I don't know what happened in the half hour since you left here, but you're really upset with me and it's not my fault." I tried to explain to Chris that the right thing to have done would have been to reprint us a new check with all of our food items listed so we could see what we were paying for. He told me he was busy working and did not have time to deal with my issue, but added that he would write down my information to give to the owner, I assume, Karen, on Monday. He also added that I could call between 7-10 AM on Monday to speak with the owner Karen, which I absolutely 100% will do. The food industry is all about knowing when you're wrong and being able to admit it. I wish I had not paid the check and continued to dispute with the manager, but in person he assured me he was discounting me, which after the fact, I really don't know if I believe a single thing he said to me. For instance, as a manager, I got a call from a very upset guest that said we forgot to give them their salad included in their takeout order. A salad costs 3.95. Their order totaled at 27.14. I kindly asked them for their credit card information and voided the entire check out of my system. Not because we didn't want the money, but because 1. This was us doing right by them. 2. For a guest who may not have otherwise come back, this gave them a chance to see how really sorry we were for hindering their experience. You are the manager. Do not tell me you are "too busy" to speak with me about this issue and certainly do not speak over me on the phone. I can tell you that the 46 bucks is not worth causing damage to your reputation. I'm not asking Fran's to void my check. I am happy to pay for food I ate and enjoyed, however, I want to know that what I am paying for is what I personally ate. I don't want to pay for someone else's meal and I certainly don't want someone else having to pay for mine. You're the GM, Chris Borden. You should know what you're doing, be apologetic even when you don't think you have to be, and always let the guest say their peace. I will not be returning to Fran's. read more

i never write reviews, but being how much i didn't like this place i figured i would. we tried it because it was crowded (which i would think means it is good and had outdoor seating) i ordered a cheeseburger with mushrooms and peppers and my bf ordered mozzarella sticks and meatball parm. when i got my burger and opened up the bun it looked like a frozen burger (which i don't even eat at home) and had canned mushrooms and they forgot the peppers which was no bigee. after seeing my "frozen burger" with canned mushrooms which didn't even look good i sent it back. i wasn't going to order something else, but decided on the pulled pork (whcih was popular according to the menu.) well when that came it looked basically like they just plopped it on a roll out of a bucket and drowned it with BBQ sauce. reminded me of dog food. i took a few little bites out of one half, it wasn't really worth eating. my burger came with chips but i asked for fries, which i got, but then when i ordered the pulled pork, the waitress brought it out with chips, no fries, which i just left at that. the mozzarella sticks weren't bad, you can't really screw that up. my bf said his meatball parm was ok, he basically eats antything though and is not one to complain. i am not one to complain that much eitrher, let alone send my meal back, like i said, this is my first review. when the waitress asked me if i wanted the rest of my meal wrapped i told her to throw it out. she didn't look too happy. i was just annoyed that being all the rest aurants in new hope, we picked a shitty one in my book. read more

went here for the night with my girlfriend and we had the worst service ever. not to mention our food was horrible and they gave us everything we didnt want on the items we chose. when we asked for something our waitress assured us she'd bring it to the table and instead ignored our orders and was talking to other employees standing around texting an never gave us what we asked for. she barely checked on our table and was very rude but when the check came she was quick to get us out of there. never going back again. read more

The only reason why I gave this place one star is because I can't give zero. It's unfortunate that they are one of the only games in town and while I understand that it's Newhope, which is yuppie rich guy central, they present themselves like they're the cool biker bar and grill but they are unbelievably disgustingly overpriced it's unfortunate because it could be a potentially cool spot to sit outside by the road and watch the cars go by. My wife and I went there had a few bud lights and never realized how much we were spending until we got the tab for $48! I said "oh my god, how much were those bud lights?!" And the inattentive uninterested bar tender says "$4.75.." I laughed and said "haha welcome to newhope I guess" and she just walked away. But it wasn't funny that's ridiculous, absolutely insane. I tipped her five dollars and left a little note explaining that they should be upset with whoever is making those prices because who the hell wants to leave a tip on top of that, not everyone who goes to newhope is rich, unless you are, be careful of how many drinks you order. read more

LESS THAN ONE STAR REVIEW! I WILL NEVER EAT HERE AGAIN! The wait staff completely ruined my day. Specifically a waitress named Sarah N. She was disrespectful to my face after I was using ketchup on my plate to make art. I'm a student artist who happened to have had a terrible stomach bug. To distract myself from the food around me I decided to get creative. She walked by twice and made terrible faces and jesters in my direction. After I gave her a look to let her know that I had seen her disgust, she came over and asked if I was done with the ketchup in a ridiculously bitchy tone. The rest of my party was shocked at how rude she was. Once again she shot me a look and I stood up to confront her but then thought better of it and used the restroom. When I returned, her and her male coworker were laughing obnoxiously. She never l apologized and we didn't tip her because of her behavior. She then went out of her way to say "thanks guys!, thanks for nothing!" Like a child. I will never ever eat at Frans Pub in New Hope again. I work at a restaurant in town and I was with my co workers. I have never ever treated any of my customers like that in my life and we r all throughly appalled. Thank you for the rude phone conversation as well from the manager who called my friend a liar. If I could give less than one star I would! read more

Fran's was recommended to us and it looked great from the curb so in we went! The menu was nice and my husband ordered a burger that he said was a 6 on the 10 scale (arbitrary) and I ordered a pizza that had hair in one piece... then I looked and it had it again in two pieces baked into the cheese. I wouldn't have written this review if i hadn't gotten it redone and it was great and we were checked on again. I got the 2nd pizza and was soggy with raw garlic - it was thrown together and not done well - nor did the waitress (who was a nice person and really apologized for the first one) ever check on us after that was delivered to the table. It wasn't our fault that the first one was a head of hair but the "chef" seemed to have taken it out on us ~ I would have personally come out from behind the pizza bar area and said something but he avoided eye contact. oh well - looks like the reviews are all over the place. I think these are simple things to correct and Fran's would be an all around nice place. read more

Well after spending the beautiful day with my mother who is mother who is from fl walking along Main St New Hope.. we decided to sit and eat at Fran's Pub.... loved the sitting out doors and the heaters all around us. Well our waiter was a nice kid but very spacey ... took him alot of time to come to us and take our order. however we placed our order... I ordered a Buffalo chicken wrap... was NOT happy with what ever it was they put inside (the sauce).. was supposed to e blue cheese and hot sauce... tasted like thousand island dressing... now i have had the two mixed together before..lol and this was defiantly not what is was supposed to be. I then waived the waiter down... after about 10 mins of that he came over and i said i took 2 bites and i am not happy with it can i please just get a buffalo chicken cheese steak... he said no... NO??? WTF? are you seriously kidding me... i then said ok let me speak to the owner/manager.. so this guy comes over and says hi... i then told him what my issue was and the first thing he said to me was... well what am i going to do with that? i cant waste it... I said idk but i dont like it and i wanted a new sandwich... this asshole told me no... what the hell kind of professional business owner are you? I have never in my life heard of this before.... then he told me to go on these sites and rate him and write reviews.... he NEVER even apologized .... REALLY????? what an ignorant prick......I have always been used to owners managers whatever saying sorry and can i offer you something different today... no this guy said he wasn't taking it off the bill nor was he making me something else... i will never go there again.... read more
