Where Great Cooking Meets Good Vibes
Franklin Court Grille started as one family's dream to change the way people eat — and it's been Monroe's favorite gathering place ever since. Pull up a chair. You belong here.
Franklin Court Grille | Our Story
A Family Dream in Downtown Monroe
In 2016, the Oropesa family opened a scratch-made restaurant in historic downtown Monroe on one simple belief — that real food served with genuine warmth could turn a meal into something people actually remember.
Real Ingredients. Real Technique.
Nothing here comes out of a bag or a freezer. Hand-breaded tenders, hand-cut fries, house-made sauces — you can taste the difference, and that's exactly the point.
A Menu Worth Coming Back For
Cuban roots meet American classics in ways you won't find anywhere else in Monroe — Cubanos next to brisket burgers, with dedicated gluten-free fryers so everyone at the table is taken care of.
The Courtyard Is the Place To Be
On warm evenings, the brick courtyard on East Franklin Street fills up fast — live music, string lights, the fountain, and a crowd that clearly doesn't want to leave.
Everyone's Welcome At The Grille
The team genuinely cares about your food and your experience — and that spirit runs from the kitchen all the way to the front door. Come find out for yourself.
