Best fish fry anywhere 😋
Great, small neighborhood bar. Melissa the bartender was great. Food was good.
First time trying Frank’s. My wife looked up places to try for good walleye and it came up so figured, why not? A little frustrating trying to find it initially, but we’re glad we did! Food was excellent. My wife had the walleye and said that it was one of the best she’s had in a long time. I had the catfish and loved it. Breading wasn’t heavy so you could taste the fish and the hush puppies were devoured quickly they were that good. All in all...read full review

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.
