“A Hidden Gem in Three Rivers – A Must-Visit!

While passing through Three Rivers, Michigan, I stumbled upon Frankie’s Restaurant, and what an unforgettable experience it turned out to be.

From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was off the charts. Our server, Izzy, was attentive, kind, and made us feel right at home. Not long after we were seated, the owner, Jay, personally came out to check on us—not just as customers, but as people. His warm welcome set the tone for what would be one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time.

The food was absolutely phenomenal—the kind of homemade, from-the-heart cooking that hits all the right notes. It reminded me of the kind of place you'd find tucked away in East Tennessee: a true mom-and-pop treasure with heart, soul, and flavor in every bite.

What really stood out, though, was the hospitality. After finishing our meal, my colleague and I stayed for two more hours, working on our laptops. Not once were we rushed. In fact, Jay stopped by to let us know we were more than welcome to stay as long as we needed. That kind of warmth and genuine care is rare these days.

If you're anywhere near Three Rivers—or even if you're not—make the trip to Frankie’s. Great food, incredible service, and the kind of small-town charm that leaves a lasting impression. I’ll definitely be back.“

“Every single thing on the menu is delicious. I love that they have fresh brewed iced tea! The staff is always vey friendly and welcoming.“
