| - You wouldn't think hot dogs can form a delicious gourmet meal, but Frank's manages to surprise and impress every time I visit. They have a diverse menu with loads of delicious options. I love the "Frankie Goes to Buffalo", a luxurious panko-battered and fried hot dog, topped with buffalo-style hot sauce, blue cheese dressing, turkey bacon, and a few carrot and celery slices. It's perfected, in the truest sense of the word, by the buns they use, which are fresh, steamed, and lightly toasted.
Not a fan of their fries and poutine, but the hotdogs are so filling with all of the toppings that I really don't think sides are necessary. Fountain drinks are reasonably priced and refillable, and there are glass coke bottles in a fridge if you prefer that.
However, their donuts are SPECTACULAR! These are mini donuts similar to those of Tiny Tom's fame, with various toppings/glazes available. Don't leave without a small box of them!
Service is excellent--staff are universally cheerful and friendly, happy to help with menu questions, and orders are ready pretty quickly. Prices are much higher than you'd expect for hot dogs, but the quality, the amount of delicious toppings, and how filling the food is, make the price reasonable in my opinion. They have a student discount, I think it's 10%--good for U of T students. You will eat VERY well here--I'm usually bursting full if I have a hotdog here for lunch, a hotdog with no side is even pretty much enough for dinner, maybe with a half dozen mini donuts for dessert.
