"We were very impressed by this surprisingly good restaurant. Food was delicious , well presented. Friendly staff and minimalist but comfortable decor. Well priced wine list. Not much open in Murwillumbah on a Sunday night after new year, so we were lucky to find this place, and would recommend it and would certainly go back again next time in town."

"Kasey and Adam have done themselves proud. The food is spectacular and sometimes hard to choose what to have. Staff are friendly and efficient."

"Stopped by for a quick lunch. The mushroom pasta dish was just perfect. the decor is nothing to write home about, but the restaurant is clean and pleasant and the staff were engaging and helpful. Good food, well served at the right price."

"Hubby and I popped in here for a quick dinner on our recent weekend away. Happy Hour was between 5 -6 pm, so we went in around 5 pm for a drink first. Sadly, none of our drinks (2 wines and 1 cider) had the Happy Hour price, when we went to pay. Not sure why. Service was a little weird; the owner (?) seemed friendly, but the other waitress was a bit abrupt,..." Read more

"Stopped in for lunch recently. The food was good, reasonably priced and the service was quick and friendly. Just lacked a bit of atmosphere - was expecting a bit more given the name. Would love to see a bit more of a vibe here. Would go back, but not for a special occasion."

"We've just had a fantastic Friday afternoon ‘de-stress' at Johnny Franco's. The food, drinks and service were all terrific. The lounge area is really comfy for families too. Highly recommend 👍🏼"

"This is a hidden little gem with a relaxed atmosphere and friendly attentive staff. Food was a true delight without the big city price tag. The slow cooked lamb was a taste sensation & for the first time in ages I was inspired to lick the plate clean. The free home made fudge to end the meal showed us they are the real deal. Get yourself to Johnny Franco..." Read more

"attended a fund-raising function, organisation of which seemed rather haphazard, but that's not necessarily the fault of the restaurant. Unfortunately our party had to leave before the end of the meal (which we all paid for before dining!) as the hard and uncomfortable chairs were causing me serious agony, so I can only really review the two courses we d..."

"We had a wonderful dinner at Johnny Franco's. For entrees the king prawns were cooked to perfection and the pork belly was tender with crispy skin. Our beef ribs were tender and had the smoky taste promised on the menu. The cocktails and coffees were top notch too. And then the service, prompt, friendly, not forced. A gem in Murbah - we'll be back."

"As small Australian towns go, there aren't many options for fine dining here and so the addition of Johnny Francos to the community is decidedly welcomed. A modern yet homey decor with excellent variety of dinner and lunch options, I was so impressed the first time that I've been back twice already. Prices are typical and place is child friendly as well as a..." Read more

"Murwillumbah is lucky to have a place like this. Fabulous food reasonable prices for lunch or dinner. Tapas with drinks in the lounge area is another great option. Definitely worth a try."
