This is my favorite hot dog in the entire world. I've been eating here since I can remember. The crisp hot dog, perfect toasted bun and fresh toppings are just absolute perfection. Add on some fried zucchini and this is worth a drive from anywhere. It's a mix of nostalgia and food nirvana. I get two hot dogs add hot relish, fresh onions and spicy mustard but you can't go wrong with whatever way you enjoy it. The pictures tell the story of what makes this place special. It's just not a restaurant it's an experience. I take everyone I can here because I know this is an experience you need to share.

Our favorite Frankie’s location and some of the best hot dogs in the state in my opinion! The staff is always so accommodating here, and we just love the charm of the dining room with all of the unique decor. So many speciality dogs to choose from, and great burgers, fries, and milkshakes!

Absolutely ideal! Been eating here for as long as I can remember! Those cheese cubes haunt my dreams in the best way! Every location is wonderful, there's always paintings on the glass, it's genuinely the peak of my week. The service is amazing, nice people every time I went. I always would recommend if someone is flying in from out of state and they like food, bring them here! If you're thinking about trying it, do it! You won't regret it!

We had my brothers retirement party at Hawks Landing catering by Frankies this past Saturday 2/21 and Amy and Paul were very easy to work with. The hall was beautiful, the food was excellant and the staff was accomodating. Everyone had a wonderful time. I cant wait to have another event there.
