| - This is the PERFECT place to go and eat an early breakfast, or if you want a nice, clean burger that's well-made with giant steak cut fries.
The restaurant has a nice and simple layout, with a very warm and welcoming feel to it. Everything is spotless, including the bathrooms which are very well-maintained.
I usually order the "Big Breakfast" or the "Eggs Benny with Pulled Pork", and the food is SO CLEAN and well-made that I can survive for the day without feeling like I ate a brick. I also don't feel "off" or sick like I usually do from other restaurants that I've ordered breakfast from. I can't stress enough how CLEAN their food is.
For lunch or dinner fare, the burgers are your standard old fashioned burger, with an assortment of topping choices, or you can select from the pre-made concoctions they have on the list, though nothing really jumped out at me. Nothing too daring or unusual that would maybe get people talking a little more about this place . However, the burgers are very well done and also VERY clean in the gut, but it's nothing "gourmet" or anything I'd write home about..
The staff is super-friendly and very attentive to tables, aside from when it comes to bringing the bill. I think it's just because it's a very "down-home" type of atmosphere and they're not rushing to get people out of the place, which is OK with me. This is just a warning to people who may get impatient (I would suggest to go up front and pay at the bar if you plan to leave within 5 mins after eating.)
I feel the bar could use a bit of improvement, but that's only a minor issue that I have with this place.
All in all I would say that Frankie's has a winning old-fashioned formula, and a knack for keeping things simple yet effective.
If it isn't broken, then why fix it?? I'm happy with a restaurant that keeps old-fashioned food going in the middle of a "gourmet tornado" of "try-hard cooks" with something to prove. However, if you want gourmet, there are tons of alternate options for you on Queen, but I urge you to give this place a try.
