Traveled from OKC, OK to Michigan City, IN, and this is a must stop for some good BBQ, I ordered the rib ends cut up fine. You have to get the mix sauce on the meat and fries, I love smothered fries with the sauce.

Frankie's has the best prices, service, quality without loss of quantity. Best barbecue in South Bend. OMG the BBQ sauce it's sweet and tangy and they pour it all over the bread, so delicious, I can eat that bread with the barbecue sauce by itself.
i really like frankies but, dang everytime we go its something, they dnt have ribs and it 12:00 in the afternoon, and supposedly just opened . There not open or they mess your order up. Went today at 11:40 and not open get it together ppl youve got a good thing going. I stayed away after the last time, i haven't been back for 4 months so i guess I’ll stay away for longer now. GET IT TOGETHER . IT says open at 11 plz. You all need some competition because they are dropping the BBQ.1/25/23 I’m heading over today after a couple years let’s see if it’s hit or miss. Hopefully they’ve stepped it up and I’m going around 12 pm (early) we don’t want no tough ribs, please Frankie’s do better.1/20/24. I went to Frankie’s and I omg they’re getting it I was so in awe that I went back again the following weekend and again omg . I said I’m not gonna go again for a while because two times and it’s a hit awesome. Meat was perfect and not slim on the fixings what they may have got it now but I’ll check in another few weeks or so. But I pray they’re back on track.

Best ribs in the area. Service is fast, prices have gone up a bit over the past couple of years but are still reasonable.

Delicious food. The smell outside of the building is the best form of advertisement. It's great that the meat is smoked on site. I definitely will be back.
