Breakfast food is comfort food, and we are always searching for a great place to get that warm, homey feeling. Welcome to Franny’s Family Restaurant & Pancake house!

We were super excited to hear about a new restaurant in our town that seemed like a Waffle House style place with Pancakes instead of waffles.

We were so excited to try it out. So did we like it? Keep reading and we will let you know.

Franny’s Family Restaurant & Pancake House

The restaurant is tucked away just off one of the main areas of Stevens Point. This area is no stranger to great food as there are several other restaurants within walking distance.

Another great benefit is that the Holiday Inn is just right down the way if you are looking to visit. So what kind of food do they offer?

Well, it’s not just pancakes! Franny’s Family Restaurant offers a wide range of foods; you will find everything from Mexican to stirfry to good old fashioned breakfast favorites.

Enjoyments of the Experience

Breakfast food is comfort food, and we are always searching for a great place to get that warm, homey feeling. Welcome to Franny's Family Restaurant & Pancake house!

Since this restaurant is local to us, we’ve actually enjoyed it a few times. The first time we actually went to the restaurant to eat. On my visit to the restaurant, I was excited to try out a salad called the Oriental Chicken Crisp. Jason tried the Pancakes and French fries.

The pancakes were delicious, fluffy and oh so delicious. Even the fries were good with their golden brown crust.

Franny’s offers delivery through Eat Street and we’ve taken advantage of that now a few times. The food always arrives warm and delicious. I’ve found I really like the Beef Stir Fry and the Steak Chimichangas. At this point I’m not sure there is any bad food at Franny’s.

Things to Improve

The salad was good but misleading since it’s not really Oriental dressing instead some sort of southwest ranch. This must be a common misconception because the waitress told me right away. I was still happy to try it and it was really good.

Restaurant Conclusion

I love this place and can’t wait to return. If you are looking for a comfort meal in a cozy little restaurant you can’t go wrong trying out Franny’s.

I have just completed my 36th trip to Las Vegas and have two more planned over the summer months. With all those takeoffs and landings, I have found there are three essential things to pack for traveling. I believe in them so much, I refuse to leave home without them.

Bose Quiet Comfort Earbuds

The first of my essential things to pack for traveling is my Bose Quiet Comfort Noise Cancelling Earbuds. There are many FREE sights to take in when traveling and especially in Vegas, but having options when you want to cancel out the hustle and bustle around you is needed. I use my earbuds on almost every flight I take and sometimes when sitting at the pool or on bus rides between destinations too.

I have two other pair of Bose noise canceling earphones but stick with the earbuds. The one downfall I have with the full earphone version is that I wear glasses, but my wife who wears contacts likes these better than the earbuds. The glasses cause just enough of a gap that the noise canceling does not work as well. With using the earbud version that issue is resolved. I find that they feel lighter on my head and can block out a significant amount of the noise around me.

Hardshell Suitcase

Hardshell suitcase is essential for all year round travel. Several years ago both Joni and I each bought a set of beautiful hardshell luggage. We have had these six suitcases for over five years. Traveled with them on 30 separate trips and only one has been cracked. We have even carted these luggage pieces around us when going to eat and needing to check out of our hotels.

A lot of people still say that their cloth suitcase can do the same thing. But one of the benefits of the hardshell case is helping against the weather. I have seen my bags sitting, waiting to be loaded in the plane during snow storms, thunderstorms, and other incitement weather. Where my old cloth suitcases had my clothes damp if there was bad weather. These keep my clothes dry except on the zipper seam.

My carry on is also hardshell, and I often place my computer inside. This helps protect it against the other fliers. I have found that they like to cram anything and everything in the storage bins. That extra protection keeps damage to a minimum. Plus it allows you some extra leg room instead of having to protect your computer at your feet.

Power Bricks

The final thing I find to be on my list of essential things to pack for traveling is the cheapest. The last thing I won’t leave home without is several of the power bricks for my phone and iPad. I never buy the expensive ones as I would prefer to have two or three. They are easy to charge and throw in your pocket in case the plane you have does not have a charging outlet or if it is not working. Also if you end up losing it or forgetting it in your hotel room when you check out, you are only out $5 for one of them compared to the nicer chargers that are $40-50 each.
