Briny catches from surrounding waters, craft cocktails, and OCBC brews from our hometown brewery. At the Franklin Café and Parlor Bar, we source fresh and serve simply – honoring the spirit and traditions of the Gibson Inn’s original Franklin Café, which opened in 1907. We invite you to drop in for a Southern-style breakfast, lunch or dinner on the porch, or a Happy Hour toast, as we turn the tide on all-day dining in Apalachicola.

Whether you’re dropping by for a hearty (or healthy) breakfast, lingering over lunch, or settling in for dinner, get set to savor the freshest ingredients you’ll find anywhere.
Apalachicola’s favorite watering hole, the Parlor Bar is your go-to for Happy Hour cocktails, served daily from 3:00 - 5:00 pm.
Enjoy them raw, fried, or baked until they’re bubbling with a whiskey butter crust. What else would you expect in “The Oyster Capital of the World”?
We’re nestled in the Gibson Inn, the “Grande Dame of Apalachicola,” where locals have gathered since 1907 to people watch from the front porch, call shots in the Billiards Room, and revel in what Southern Living calls “the coolest spot to stay on the Panhandle.”
From birthday parties to anniversary celebrations, our porches, patio, and laid-back Parlor Bar can be booked for your most important private events. Just ask.
