Best fish down river and all you could eat during the week the owner is the chef, so you know, it's good.
Ordered the big boy ribeye, was served a new York strip but it was still very good, one of the best cooked steaks I've had there. Also ordered the cod, cooked perfectly and good size portion. Waitress was very nice and efficient.
Best fish fry anywhere 😋

Frank's Cafe is a historic restaurant with a bar, known for its delicious fish, including cod and perch. The shrimp and spring rolls are also popular choices among customers. The staff is friendly, and the drinks are good, with Heather, the bartender, often praised. The restaurant is located in an old house built soon after the Civil War, which has changed little since the 1940s. It has a long history of serving beer and spirits, dating back to President Franklin Roosevelt's administration, so it’s possible that ancestors of some diners have enjoyed drinks here. The interior retains its vintage charm, reflecting its past as a place where factory workers from Polish, Hungarian, German, and Italian communities gathered for fish fry dinners.
Recently, visitors have been delighted with the large portions and the variety of fish options, especially during Fish Friday when they leave feeling full and satisfied. The location is in a neighborhood, near Wyandotte Municipal Golf Course and downtown Wyandotte, but it can be hard to find because it's tucked away in the back streets. The restaurant’s history, great beer selection, fantastic food, and the friendly atmosphere make it a unique spot to visit. However, it can get very busy, and waiting times may be long, so arriving before 5 pm on Fridays is recommended.
