Well, we ate for our 2nd & last time at Franke's Cafeteria. This was a central Arkansas eating institution, and it is hard to write what I must write about it. The food that they serve is so bland, cold, flavorless- by and large, that bringing home even the leftovers- didn't make them get better.
They also have a person working the dining room, who used to do the same job at Luby's in West Little Rock, before it closed last year. Her name is Nancy, she is a wonderful employee! A jewel! She is always smiling, happy to see you, checking on you to see if you need anything while you are there. You will be blessed, if Nancy waits on your table!

Unfortunately, that also means that you have in front of you, several bowls of inedible, unappealing, cold food.
You can park.&go in couple different stores
The entrées & hot veggies are cold, unless they are just out of the kitchen. The cornbread & rolls were cold and dried out.
I went to only one place but it was great. Was able to buy what I needed.
Sorry, Franke's, we loved you 40 years ago. What the heck happened? We won't be back. Sur do miss Luby's. The food was always fresh, hot, seasoned Southern style, and we licked the plates clean! Don't know why they closed Luby's. Really missing it.
At one time, Franke's set the standard for all other cafeterias to follow in the high quality of their flavor filled, hot foods. Every thing used to be seasoned to a Southern perfection! Now selections are either as tasty as a piece of cardboard, or over salty & vinegary (cucumber & tomatoes salad) to the point of being inedible!
On a positive note, the banana creme pie was good.
Lots of shopping options but without too much crowd or parking hassles
