Small place with a bunch of outdoor seating. Decent selection of beers on tap, and the food is solid American bar fare. The atmosphere is nice and the staff are friendly. This is one of those places I'd just pop in to have a drink at on a lazy day if I was walking along the Embarcadero.

Frankie’s is the best neighborhood spot! Their fish tacos are some of the best in SF. We love sitting outside in the sun or posting up at the bar. The staff and bartenders are always welcoming - we love bringing our pups and out of town guests here!

October 2024:
Stopped by for a smash burger and a beer 🍺. The smash burger 🍔 was tasty and came with fries 🍟. The fries were perfectly cooked!
Very good beer selection. Got a barebottle Muir Woods hazy IPA. Excellent 👍 and would definitely come back again.
Sat outside in the patio. Weather was hot 🔥 so it was perfect to hang out.
Service was friendly and helpful. Thank you for a great meal.

This place... chefs kiss! The food was fresh AF, drinks were perfect and a great selection of beers on tap. Eugene is a gem, the silver fox, didn't catch his name, was also amazing. The sweet woman cooking, she knows what's up! Simple ingredients are superior when you take the time to perfect your craft. Fish tacos and fish n chips YUMMY!!! I appreciate this place so much! Felt like I was at a mom n pop restaurant in SF.

Definitely have the fish tacos! Unfortunately they aren't served on game days. Their fries are the best too.

Great (like REALLY great) burger — maybe even one of the best in SF!!If you’re a fan of In-n-Out burger, then you’ll love the smash burger. It’s got a thousand island sauce reminiscent of the fast food chain, but elevated with caramelized onions, fresh pickles, double smashed patties, and a soft brioche bun.I’m a BIG fan of bread and butter pickles and was pleasantly surprised by their addition in the burger — but if you don’t like the flavor of them, make sure to order yours without. The fries were good, though nothing particularly special. The tables all had mustard, ketchup, and hot sauce, so if you’re a fellow saucy guy like myself you can add to your heart’s content!The service was really great. We ordered two burgers but only one came out — after about 10 minutes of waiting, we told the bartender and he realized he never put the other one in (and hadn’t charged us for it on our order). He was very apologetic and quickly brought us the second one, on the house! It was an honest mistake, and he made sure to make it right. They clearly value their customers here, and we appreciate that!!The vibe here is no-frills but is really clean with a bit of a 50’s diner feel. There were lots of diners on their way to the Giants game (as we were walking over to Frankie’s, we heard a mom in a Giants jersey telling her family how good Frankie’s was and how close they were to the restaurant. They arrived just after us!)You can expect the food to come out quickly and the beer to be cold. Let’s go Giants!!!
Wheelchair accessibility: The restaurant is ground level and accessible from the sidewalk, which has a cement wheelchair ramp.
