i work in a mom and pops place. there are no problems like this there. we all work hard to take care of the building, each other and our customers. there is no reason to see the things on the inspection if this counrtry grill really appreciated her community, it wouldnt have had to be ” closed for cleaning”. they might be nice people but you have to do what ever it is to keep the place up! sorry it happened. i guess fran should feel lucky that it hasn’t hurt her business! it is public knowledge is anyone wants to see it though!!

Ms. Fran and her whole crew are some of the nices people I know. They make Molino Folks look good. I think all of Ms. Fran’s fans should go this week all bring her a flower and show her that we are all still behind her. If you are a fan of Ms. Fran show up this week with a flower and show her what she means to our community. We love you Ms. Fran. : )

As a matter of fact I have seen the report. And so can you and anyone else. It is public knowledge. You can look up a health inspection for any business you would like to. You can also view past inspection reports on any resaurant as well. I have recently moved to the wonderful state of Alabama where resturaunts are required to post their inspection report and score. Which is a nice luxury to have. It may not be a law in Florida yet but you do have the right to check into it on your own.Again it’s PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE! Some of you may not care what any report says but for those of you who do here’s the link. http://www.myfloridalicense.com go to for consumers, search lodging and food inspections, search by name click on the name and it will bring up the list of reports. And you don’t have to see the kitchen when it’s on a health inspection report.

I am a vendor as well as a customer of Frans and get to see a lot of things that the regular customers don’t get to see.
I can tell you that I in all the years I have been making deliveries to this restaurnt I have never seen any reason not to eat here or reccomend this place to anyone.

I see a lot of restaurants on my route that have far more problems. I have watched health inspectors pass places that I would not even think of drinkig a glass of water out of, so I sure wouln’t eat there.

Fran has bent over backwards to help people any way she can in this community and I want her to know that I appreciate everything that she has done! Every restaraunt has this on going problem. I have never heard of anyone getting sick from eating there and she has great home cook food. Molino is a small religious town with a lot of gossip that gets spreads like wild fire without considering who they may be hurting in the process.

Fran, I am sorry this has taken place and I hope that you can forgive these people with small closed minds. I will continue to eat there and help you anyway I can!

guess we ought to install showers and sanitation stations for all the city folks that dont know about kuntry cookin’.and or living…..frans has NEVER been dirty always has been clean..name one eatery that has NEVER had a fly, roach or other critter situation or that had violations…better yet, let go to your house and do the same inspection and see if you pass….MS.Fran and crew KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !!

ms fran ..we will be there arounf 5ish’!!

Good Bad and the Ugly!

No one would even know about an inspection, good or bad, but because someone saw or heard something and now people are talking!

First of all, make sure you have the FACTS! Did you see the report, did you see the kitchen….how did you get your information from anyway?

What place any where any time doesn’t have flies and/or rodents! Love Bugs are about to tote everyone away this time of year! Anywhere there is a door open flies can come in….were they under your hamburger bun? Did you find one in your whipped potatoes? Rodents are all over the earth. There again did ….did you find a roach on your table, did you see a rat on the floor?

Do you eat there, if you do then you have an opinion! If you don’t then you cannot make an informed judgement.

With 21 critical and 16 non critical violations how did everything get fixed in less than 24 hours in order to pass the 2nd inspection and reopen the VERY next day on Tuesday…..Great Job Fran and Crew for such decication to your customers and community to be able to open them doors so quickly for business.

Sounds like standard protocol…shut someone down turn around and allow them to open back up…..if it was that bad don’t you think they would have been closed longer than 24 hours to correct issues!

Will your kitchen pass inspection???????????

We eat at Fran’s regularly! The food is good, the service GREAT and Fran and her crew treats everyone like they are part of the family.

Fran you keep on cooking, we will keep on eating!
