Many reviews here seem to be based on a one time experience. My review is based on an accumulation of experiences. The atmosphere is pleasant, the physical establishment is clean, the staff are friendly, the food has increasingly improved, from good to great. There is a lot of history in this location, specifically that of the local community. Old signs, photos, and other artifacts. In addition, the owners recently decided to switch to all beef patties, from locally raised cattle. A huge step and much appreciated by many. Also, if you are into the presentation of the food, it's on point. Prices are comparable to that of other quality pubs. Space is limited, wait time varies, definitely worth the trip.

Disappointing. I really had hoped for better. Overly priced for subpar/mediocre pub fare. Poutine was soggy with canned gravy and cheese not fully melted- we didn't finish. Kids food was overly priced, cold, and from a box. Salad had lettuce with brown edges. Service was ok-not great. And boy, was it loud. We had wanted to try out Franks for some time, given its historical place in the community and our personal preference to support local businesses versus chain restaurants. For the town's sake, bring it up a notch or two.

Cute pub atmosphere with a wide range of pub food and larger meals like steak tips and chicken parm. The food was pretty good. Everyone at my table seemed to like what they got, though one order did come out incorrect, but it was quickly fixed. Our waitress was OK. But maybe she was new? She seemed nervous and unsure. Otherwise, our party overall enjoyed themselves

Place was empty,, waited an hour for food. Bartender ( Jessica) was nice, but drinks were a measured pour, certainly no xtra ,, should have at least compensated a drink for an hour wait. Food was tasty, pasta should have been drained better, very watery. Definitely good flavor though…. Haven’t been in over a year,, probably won’t go back. Sorry, 70$ later, plus tip,, gotta do better.

Great service, friendly staff, food was delicious, wasn't overly busy when we went. It felt, looked clean. I enjoyed the atmosphere.
Vegetarian options: There were vegetarian and gluten free options. Not so sure about vegan. Only went once. For the size of the menu and type of venue, there were a good amount of vegetarian choices.
Parking: Small parking lot and seems to be a popular place so be prepared to park on the street and maybe need to walk a small distance during busy times.

Great service tonight! Fast and attentive service! Child Friendly too!
We had ordered take out for the first time here and our order was switched, they handled it with kindness, elegance, and respect. Extremely impressed with the employees, service, and overall quality of the food! Truly was one of the best experiences take out wise despite the small mishap. We have been in here multiple times, but am in awe at the service!

Frank's is a nice restaurant and bar with a cool local aesthetic. It has a selective menu, with quality American fair style offerings. It is a small venue, so it can feel a little cramped, but decor is unique, especially the bar area. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. It is worth checking out.
