About:Whereas several Texas-based fast food chains have resorted to the faux 1950s hamburger stand motif for some reason, Fran's doesn't have to fake it; this really is the sort of place where the waitresses are caustically priceless and where the exterior is adorned with fins like an Eisenhower-era Chevrolet not out of intentional irony but because that's really how the post-war designers thought a restaurant should look. Unsurprisingly, Fran's operates under a pleasing, no-frills menu offering burgers, fries, onion rings and the like. And just as was the case several decades ago, things still get busy around noon, prepare yourself for brief lunchtime delays.

    Great place for tasty burgers and Chicken Fried Steak sandwiches. Don't forget their second location at 290E and Cameron Rd. Both are the epitome of the 50s-60s burger joint. Great grease!

    Good burgers, good prices and super nice people. I've been eating there for 10 years and it's always the same... just good old fashioned burgers!
