“Ok so this is going to be a new thing for me, eating foods from a non traditional restaurant and my goodness I found a banger. Frankin it Up. Let's start it the first category Parking. Have to be honest here and say Parking is a nightmare tight streets /alleys Only Parking on one side of the street. Its a mess but if you cant get dropped off plan to struggle alot to find parking. .5/10 The atmosphere is reminiscent of hanging out at a buddies house for a BBQ, but instead of having over cooked dried food because the cook has been cooking like crap for years. I got the pleasure of watching someone who is good at what they do and it happens be so delightful and delicious that its refreshing to experience it first hand. The service was far beyond what I expected. When I got there the owner, I believe his mane was or is Jeff, wasnt there his neighbor came out and asked me if youre waiting for Jeff, I answered why yes, yes I am. He then informed he that he got in the pool. Now when I tell you that I had the biggest laugh just to hear that the owner left his post and took a splash to cool down, I immediately knew this was the place to be. The neighbor told me he'll be out in 5 or 10 minutes and informed me that I could wait at the tables or in my car either way hes coming out. The service alone 100/10 Now let's get to the food. You'd think frankin it Up would be a hot dog spot and you'd be partially correct Jeff did start with hotdogs but according to him that market is too saturated, so thats why he decided to use his 40+years of cooking in the restaurant industry to switch over and do burgers, wagu burgers. Me and my partner ordered the WCW and the Big Wag. Both came with grilled onions cherry tomatoes pickles and a burger sauce the only difference is that the WCW has bacon. The burgers were cooked to absolute perfection 100/10 Lets wrap this review up. Jason kelsey said this was the best burger spot in LA and id have to agree hands down. Frankin it Up 9.8/10”
