We’ve eaten here several times and tonight was the absolute worst. The drinks were totally watered down. Our waitress forgot our appetizer and the food was unbelievably bad. We had the beast burger. I’ve had a better hamburger at Burger King. French fries were weak and soggy. It was supposed to have come with blue cheese. We had to ask for it. Finally, we had to ask our waitress to please give us our check. She was at the bar Gossiping with other workers totally ignoring us and many other tables. I will not be back.

Although this restaurant is in an unusual location (next to a gas station), you totally forget that little annoyance once you enter. The serving staff are kind, friendly, and efficient. The decor and atmosphere are conducive to good conversation and casual dining. It was our anniversary and we wanted to celebrate at a nice, but not too fancy, place. Finicky Frank's filled the bill exactly. We arrived early to avoid a wait -- good thing, because it soon began to get busy on a Saturday evening. We started off with the crab cakes appetizer -- loved them! Two thick cakes with good crab flavor, nicely crusted, served with salad fixings and aioli sauce on the side. Delicious! Saturday's special is Fried Chicken and my wife selected that. Half a chicken served with mashed potatoes, creamed corn, dinner roll & jam, and even a bowl of vanilla bean ice cream for dessert. She could not eat it all; that meant a take home lunch for tomorrow. I chose the Seafood Enchilada and it was amazing! Large, hot tortilla stuffed with salmon and spinach with shrimp on top covered with garlic Alfredo sauce. Good portion size so that I could take half home for later enjoyment. It was a wonderful spot to celebrate a special day!
As always, the food was fantastic! The servers treat everyone like dear friends & it's always a great time.

Food and service was great. I dined in, they took care of my table when needed. The waitress was attentive and wasn’t over bearing. 👍 I will definitely go back to try other menu options they have to offer. If you go try the breaded mushrooms cause they are awesome!😎

After wanting to try Finicky Franks for several years we finally made the trip and let me tell you, “IT WAS WORTH THE DRIVE!” Our server was so kind and extremely passionate about the food and history behind everything that was going on that it was almost like story time every time she stopped at the table. She was fabulous! We started off with her suggestion and ordered the onion ring appetizer. This breading was legit so good we were picking the breading crumbs off the plate making very sure none of this light, delicate breading went to waste. We tried them with the Franks Sauce which is a whole grain mustard meets mayo sauce. The creaminess of the mayo and zip of the mustard was a great combo. I ordered the black and bleu burger (another suggestion from our tour guide) and Lisa got the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. Both were dynamite and so big that neither of us could finish but DEFINITELY taking the rest home. I had no problem polishing mine off at home a couple hours later. There’s not much more to say here other than if you’ve been thinking about trying Finicky Franks, just go. Now!

I did not rate the atmosphere as I did not eat at the restaurant. The waitress was really nice and helped us out a lot as this was our first time eating here. I’ve always heard really great things about the food, but in my opinion the food was very average. We ordered a “beast burger with bacon” the burger did not come with bacon, it was overly cooked and it was very bland. It was suppose to have a mixture of different meats and tasted just like an average beef burger. To say the least the food was depressing for what we paid($22 plus the 10% tip). Won’t be going back.
I go here every time I have school dances. Such a cutsie place with lovely decorations. They have the sweetest servers, who genuinely make conversation with you, and 10/10 food. I heart Finicky Franks !!!!

Made a reservation for my friends and I and were promptly refused service because one of the eployees claimed we were 'harrassing' her, when we had only just walked in the door. Additionally, other employees were being very rude and hostile towards us, when we had only made polite exchanges. We waited for 20+ minutes outside past the time of out reservation in the heat, chatting with each other. I went inside to check on time, where the owner then unprofessionally asked us to 'take this outside'. Where she then told us that she would not serve us. Horrendous service.

Never had a bad meal here, usually get one of their specials. Our favorite night is Thursday for their walleye and crab cakes ? chef's kiss ?

I can't believe we haven't been to Finicky Franks before tonight. The drinks were perfect!!!! The appetizer...we could have had two plates if the dumplings! Our entrees were all three perfect!!!! Now let us talk about our new friends who helped us get our food and drinks. AMAZING!!!!! We had such a nice night and they were certainly a part of that. Thank you for the full stomach's and thank you for the laughs! Top 10 night!
First time eating at Finicky Franks! What a great place to eat with friends. Outstanding Service from Jody! Great drinks! Our food selections were outstanding. We cannot wait to come back!! We have never heard about this place and have lived in Omaha for 17 years! This is a must to put on your list! Thanks for great evening! Onion rings are out of this world! So were the margaritas! Carrot cake --- fabulous!
