I used to love Franktuary's downtown location. I stopped in the other day for a quick dog but was really surprised to find a remodeled restaurant... but not in a good way.
The walls and tables used to be colorful and added life to the room. Now, in keeping with their name, everything has been replaced with church pews and an accompanying hushed and stale air. Even the self-serve condiments are gone from the pick up counter. The room is now empty and lifeless. Where is the comment board full of drawings, suggestions, and responses? Where is the color? Where is any splash of excitement? I'm not even sure any music was playing.
Don't get me wrong, the dogs are still delicious. The atmosphere is just terrible now. I can't help but think that the downtown location has fallen by the wayside in the wake of the more popular Lawrenceville location.
I probably won't be coming back.
