My nephew and I each had the brisket sandwich and fries. It smelled so good we couldn’t wait until we got home to eat it. The fries were perfectly crispy and the BBQ sauce was 🔥. I definitely recommend!

Drove 35 mins to get some rib tips from Frankie’s and once I got home and was able to sit down and eat the ribs didn’t have no meat jus fat basically the bottom of the barrel ass shit. I called and was told to put it in the refrigerator and bring it back tomorrow like really?! I’ll never do business or waste my money wit Frankie’s even again definitely lost a loyal customer.

First of all I've always loved this place, but I noticed that this time new workers, I ordered the Rib tip dinner, 2 of them which I paid almost $40, the ribs had chunks of fat on each tip, barely no meat covered with sauce to hide it, I had to throw away basically a whole dinner with fat.

In South Bend, Frankie's is a go to barbecue spot. I have been going since I friend took me in the late 90s. When I'm around in town I have been going back since. My situation has changed, but happily Frankie's has not. Always there to rely on when I need a barbecue fix. They do not disappoint, but get there early, just in case.

Hate to sound biased, but I am.
I've been going to Frankie's since I was a little kid. I love this place. Best BBQ still to this day. I travel here once to twice a year, grab a ton of food, then drive 3 plus hours back home.
Oh, and they are my family ❤️....
Even if I wasn't family, if I tasted Q like this, I would still make the trip.
