Franky & Johnny's Restaurant Review: Franky & Johnny's is one of those neighborhood restaurants that has been around forever, and it will probably still be there when everything around it is long gone. Its claim to fame is cold beer and fried seafood is the house specialty, such as the generously stuffed deep-fried shrimp on crispy French bread. Boiled seafood selections are deeply seasoned with Creole spices. The few pasta dishes are not quite up to par, so we suggest trying the artichoke appetizer, traditional muffaletta, chicken Parmesan, and huge seafood platter with its shrimp, catfish, oysters and crab. As long as you’ve gone that far, you may as well treat yourself to dessert --- it’s a toss-up between white chocolate bread pudding and peanut butter pie. The short wine list offers a number of fairly standard American brands plus one or two from abroad. Be prepared to wait up to 30 minutes or so for a table at the dinner hour, but the time flies because of the good people-watching opportunities. |
