I hate to gamble, but I think Frank's is worth the risk of cardiac arrest and food poisoning. Half the time, it's the best diner around. The other half, I wished I wasted my money at freaking Denny's. Honest to G, Denny's. Can't tell if I love to hate this place. Or hate that I love it. Idk, but until I get food poisoning, I guess I'll keep rolling the dice on shoveling it in at Frank's.

The food never disappoints and neither does the service! The staff treats you like family whether it’s the 1st time you’ve been there or the 100th. Food is reasonably priced too which is always a plus! Would love to become a regular here as the atmosphere, food, and overall experience are always great!

Famous for its garbage plate, and being in Kenosha downtown for almost 100 years (opened back in 1926), Frank's Diner is definitely a great place and a home place for a lot of people. As someone who moved just to Kenosha last year, we have been trying to get in for a long time. The space is small, I mean very small, it is an old food truck/railcar kinda style, there are bar area and booth area. Expect a wait if you come on weekends. (As the sign in the diner says, the inner deco was legit haha) We came in Tuesday around noon and were able to sit right away at the bar, right opposite the stove and grill lol. It was quite a show watching the cook cook while we wait for our food, and I loved seeing it. Just a very local and family feeling. We had great food! The specials (Irish sausage and gravy, corned beef omelette) were tasty and the meat omelette was next level. The pancake is huge, and delicious for sure. The food is also priced well! Overall, nice experience, and we will come back again and hopefully also no wait next time!
Historic dinner with great food and fun friendly staff a must if you're visiting Kenosha or this home town favorite so expect to wait a little while to get a table or you can eat at the counter

Stopped here on Fathers Day 2022. My son and I were on a road trip of Wisconsin. Had to get up early to get a spot in line! We arrived about 20-30 minutes before opening and they had a line waiting. No worries cuz it was worth the wait. Upon entry, the place is not that big but it screamed nostalgia and we loved it. Got us a spot at the counter but within minutes, the place was packed! After getting our menus, I noticed the specials board and for Fathers Day, all dads get a free Bloody Mary! Had to take advantage of that! When our breakfast came, it did not disappoint! The portions were massive! I ordered the full Garbage Plate with bacon and sausage. It came with 2 big pieces of fresh baked toast! My son got the chocolate chip pancakes. They were huge! I was able to tackle mine but my son had a few bites remaining. Food was absolutely delicious and so filling. Our waitress was even kind enough to give me a refill of my Bloody Mary. She was so great and working so hard, I gave her a $20 tip because she deserved it! It was a treat watching them cook right in front of you and the speed at which everyone moved was amazing! They got stuff done and with a smile! Our dining experience was off the charts! It would be foolish for anyone to pass up eating here! I'd wait hours if needed to eat here and so should you! Come to Franks Dinner, you will not regret it! 10 stars!!!Wheelchair accessibility: Sadly, the diner is not wheelchair accessible. There are just a few steps up to the immediate right upon entering. One could be carried if it's an option. There are tables outside in the summer months though. Very easily wheelchair accessible.
