Great little spot off US19 that serves breakfast, lunch, and diner. A wide variety of dishes to be had! I had the Franks Famous Fish and Shrimp Special for 11.99...it did not disappoint! Fish was tender with a light seasoned fry crust and the shrimp were juicy and seasoned the same. Waitress and hostess were very attentive, and the restaurant was neat and tidy!

I was happy when my friend told me that she wanted to take me to lunch and I was to decide which restaurant we would be eating at. Hmm. I said let’s go to Frank’s Restaurant! I want some fish and chips! And I hear that today is all-you-can-eat Fish Friday! Yesss! The food was delicious and the service very good as well. I highly recommend Frank’s Restaurant to anyone who wants good quality food at affordable prices!

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. The very first thing we noticed when we walked in was how clean the place smelled. The decor has a 70s Italian family restaurant vibe as far as decor. We loved it! It was very clean, nicely kept up, we were greeted as soon as we walked in and sat right away. Staff was friendly and very prompt. The prices were great, the options were plenty. The waitress recommended a few items and we both decided on a burger. The burgers are 1/2 lb, fresh never frozen and cooked to your desired temp. It was delicious! I got the Cowboy BBQ Onion burger, and opted for the onion rings. Boy was I glad I did. Beer battered onion rings. DELICIOUS!!! It was so good that we came back the next day. Next day, the poor waitress was on her own and slammed, but she did a great job keeping up with everything, and the back of the house even came out to give her a hand. Great teamwork! Great food! Great service! We will definitely be back! Looking forward to trying the fish, as that looked amazing!

Went for lunch with my family for the first time. The food was outstanding. I was impressed that the food was such good quality. We had fish & fries, fried shrimps, grilled chicken sandwich, buffalo wings, soup & salad and chocolate pies. Buffalo wings are nicely cooked and crispy from outside, one of my favorite. Fish was so soft and delicious. I must say that EVERYTHING we had was delicious and amazing quality food. When we get good food+ great service, that’s a win win and really happy we went here. I would now definitely keep back and would definitely recommend

Went with middle of the road expectations... was pleasantly surprised at the quality/quantity of food, great service, and pleasant atmosphere. Thoroughly enjoyed a nice meal of all you can eat fish and chips as well as an order of wings. My compliments to the cook as well as Cassidy my server. Well done, and for sure, I'll be back.

Casual friendly place with unassuming atmosphere and super nice servers. Specializing in fried fish, but lots of other menu offerings. We had the fish, shrimp, crab cakes, clams and meatloaf. All was terrific. Good portions and fair prices. They have Karaoke nights on Wednesdays.
