Service was very average. We had an Asian lady serving us and she was not professional.

We really enjoyed our brunch here—the restaurant has high chairs and stroller parking and our baby loved eating avocado and smoked salmon and beans off our plates! We’ll be back!

Amazing cocktails, we got a brown butter old fashioned and a gin and cucumber cocktail. Both phenomenal.
The food was fantastic. Really recommend going and getting the kimchi fried chicken.

We dined here on a busy Friday night. They had no problem seeing us right away, or party of three. Short rib curry was tasty. And the wife really enjoyed her meat pie with mashed potatoes. Great quiCk service and tasty food.

Started off with the Kimchi Fried Chicken as I hear they're known for that and it did not disappoint. I also had the Short Rib Massaman Curry... the short rib was cooked perfectly and the curry tasted amazing!
Probably the coolest vibes outside of the West Village—and it’s right in the heart of JC. Frankie’s is an effortlessly stylish Australian spot that feels like a hidden gem but delivers like a destination. Whether you’re trying to impress out-of-towners or a date, this place hits the mark.
Drinks? Solid across the board. The Lovely Creature—served in a whimsical frog mug—is a spicy mezcal punch that feels tailor-made for a boat cruise or summer rooftop hang. But the standout is Let’s Stay Together—an unbelievable old fashioned that balances depth, smoothness, and just the right twist to make you rethink what an old fashioned can be.
Food-wise, don’t skip the kimchi fried chicken. It’s crispy, punchy, and totally worthy of main dish status. Sit at the bar if you can—it’s the best seat in the house to soak in the atmosphere, the music, and the laid-back but elevated energy.
Frankie’s isn’t just good—it’s one of the best spots in Jersey City, full stop.

Frankie is a great spot to have nearby—it's well located in an area that doesn’t have too many similar options. If you're into a mix of Thai, British, or Australian-inspired cuisine, this place stands out for its originality and unique flavors. The food was genuinely good, with interesting and well-executed combinations that felt fresh and different.
That said, I do think the service could use improvement. While the atmosphere has personality and charm, the overall experience would be much better with more attentive and friendly service. During our visit, dishes were brought to the table and left a bit far from us, and small details like the placement of napkins and utensils felt rushed or overlooked. For a place where dishes are priced over $30 per person, you'd expect a bit more care in the delivery and interaction.
Overall, it’s a welcome addition to the neighborhood, and I’d return for the food—but I do hope the service experience evolves to match the quality coming out of the kitchen.

Tried this Aussie gem and it was a deliciously unique experience! The avo toast was fresh and vibrant, the Full Aussie platter hearty and satisfying. The Welsh rarebit stood out — perfectly poached eggs over sourdough with a rich Guinness spread that was bold and flavorful. Even the Vegemite toast, a first for us, was surprisingly tasty with its salty kick. Every dish brought something new to the table, offering an authentic taste of Australia in every bite. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore bold, comforting flavors!
