This place is AMAZING!! The staff here are extremely patient and friendly. The food is delicious and fresh! Prices are very reasonable! I can’t wait to come back here and try everything else on the menu! Hands down, recommend this place. 10/10

We stumbled upon this place randomly during our drive from New York to Maine. It doesn't look like the pictures we saw online, so maybe it got an upgrade recently. Clean restroom, friendly staff, plenty of seating inside. Fried Cheese Cubes: 4/5 I wasn't expecting cheddar cheese, but they were still pretty good. Not as hot as I enjoy so that they'd be more melted. Bacon dog: 10/5 My kid was on his last bite before I even got my burger cut in half. For 6 days (remainder of the trip), I heard about this hot dog and how it was the "best hot dog [he] has ever had." 1/2 rodeo: 5/5 Delicious. Perfectly cooked, well-balanced BBQ sauce with the onion rings. Didn't fall apart, didn't get soggy, not too messy. Chili cheese fries: 4/5 Not the best chili he's ever had, but appreciated that the frie

I didn’t expect to enjoy this place so much. It was really good. Inside is so clean and cute. The food was good; lots of good, inexpensive options. My daughter’s grilled cheese was so good! I hate buying grilled cheese because I think it’s cheese and bread, anyone can do it. This grilled cheese was VERY good though. The girls at the counter were very nice and helpful. I couldn’t decide if I wanted mustard on my whole hot dog, but there’s a little condiment bar so I could pick and choose lol

The food was a little bit over done. Cheese cubes brown instead of golden. Walls were plain felt like a doctors office compare to the other frankies locations. It needs that decor. That character.

I Love 💘 the Frankie's concept. I think it was one one of the first conceptual restaurants like this in this area, that is, a hot dog/burger joint, added BBQ pulled pork, fried seafood, and ultra extensive menu, better than the best gastro pub. This Frankie's was small and a little dirty, unlike the Plainville location or any of the others I've visited. Still, great staff that worked with what they have. I got the whole belly clams, my friend got a great looking dog and fries.
