“We went to Franks last night. It was the nicest up-scale restaurant we have been to in the area. We enjoyed the food and the service, waiter JR, was outstanding. We both had beef which was prepared very nicely. They seem to pride themselves on meeting the customer’s wants/needs so if you wanted to change something - no problem. The cook is obviously all about savory, big time. I would definitely check the menu before making reservations (a MUST) to be sure you see something you would enjoy.“

“10/10!!! Excellent quick service and everything was delicious. I went with the fried seafood platter. You could tell all the seafood was lightly hand breaded. The scallops melted in your mouth like butter, haddock was perfectly flaky, and the shrimp was perfectly cooked. Not a teensy bit overdone.The staff was very attentive, didn’t have to ask or wait on anything!Definitely stop and give them a try. You can’t go wrong with anything!!“

“Before you get to the tourist insanity of the beach areas, this is an island of calm. We aren’t buffet people, but fortunately you can order off the menu. We had barbecue sandwiches and sweet tea and didn’t break the bank. There were four kinds of sauce, and we are all about sauce: vinegar, hot vinegar, mustard, and ketchup based. We tried them all. Why not? Staff were very friendly and helpful.“

“A real hidden gem. Very elegant outdoor seating reminding me of a walled garden resturant in France. A great special occasions place as it is a little pricey. Staff is great. This was written in the fall of 2023.Went there today with a group of friends for lunch. (Spring 2024). Upon arrival we were told the outdoor was full due to a wedding shower being booked. It clearly says on the website no reservations for lunch. Obviously disappointed as my friends were looking forward to the outdoor experience. The on duty manager can not handle situations, when I questioned her about no lunch reservations and she had “booked” the event she became very frustrated and confrontational. Had I not been a regular customer, I would have left never to return.The only update to my review is the owner’s should consider a new daytime manager. She is a terrible representative to a wonderful place. Her optic was embarrassing even withMembers of her crew.“

“First time coming here, and we were pleasantly surprised. Very unique place, food and service was good, and beer was very cold. It was a little hard to find, just look for the green mailbox with PIT on it. Our only issue was a kitchen worker cussing out the host. GD, MF, etc., right after we were seated. I would have given 5 stars but for that.“
