Customer Reviews
Our waitress, Lucy was very nice and attentive. I had a gluten-free pizza with spinach and mushrooms and it was good. The crust was a bit different than a cauliflower crust, but it ended up tasting quite good. My friends had the spinach, ravioli, and the eggplant Parmigiana.
Had to call an audible today when my initial plan didn't pan out. Ordered a Sicilian pie, half sausage, half plain. Had a drink while I waited for my pizza, and had a good chat with the bartender Wyatt, who seemed to know his regulars. Finished my drink just as my pizza came out. Now, when it comes to a pizza craving, it needs to hit rit. We'll Frank's did just that. When I lifted this thing off the bar, I could tell it was well constructed. After the long ride home, since it seems good Sicilian pies are rare in this area, the family descended on the pizza. I will let the picture do the talking, but I wasnt able to grab one before it was attacked. Not the best I've had, but this is a solid regular goto pizza for me.
I lnow this restaurant is a community staple but for a check that was over $100 for 2 of us...no alcohol, 2 happy hour appetizers, 2 entrée and 1 shared dessert, it was not an experience we would return for. We dined on a Tuesday night. Several booths were marked as reserved so we seated at a large 8 person table. It was odd but thankful we had a seat. It was 10+ minutes before the waitress stopped by to bring water and even then it was welcoming or friendly...mostly hurried. The food seemed to take a LONG time. We ordered everything at once and by the time our entrees arrived, they were cold. We didnt complain, mostly because we were so irritated by another table who allowed their 3 year old to run the length of the room. At first it was sweet but then it didnt stop. Back and forth. The
Very small portion and cold hard bread. The tea was awful. Waitress was wasn't great at all. Franks isn't a great place to eat at all. As a kid, I remember when they first open. It was a pleasure to eat there. It's a awful place to eat for the money, not worth it.
Frank's was packed when I walked in. The vibe inside was warm but traditional, like a classic pizzeria with an almost upscale feel like an Italian restaurant. There was a neighborhood charm to it. Since seating was tight, I grabbed a spot at the bar and started a to go order. Honestly, I'm glad I did. The female bartender was the highlight of my entire visit. She was friendly, attentive, and full of great recommendations. While the rest of the staff seemed a bit rushed (understandably, it was busy), she made me feel welcome and taken care of. I ordered an espresso martini while waiting for my to-go order, and it was delicious. Well-balanced, smooth, and worth coming back for on its own. I even switched for tequila and she kept the same flavor. Now to the food... I went with the spaghett
