The service was pretty quick considering how many people were there,the staff was very friendly and polite and helpful, the food was excellent and was neatly packaged in a box with a cover put on that you can request for, definitely worth the price that it cost.

June 2023 - Who doesn't love a good hot dog? If you do, you must add Frankies to your list. Back in 2018 we visited the original outdoor food stand, but my partner and I somehow lost the photos of that meal as we were changing phones, providers, etc. and I was just starting to post reviews to GM. We do remember getting their famous hot dogs, a fried shrimp order and onion rings. All good. Since then we've eaten at the Frankies restaurant next to the Brooklyn Bakery, but this was our first time back at the original stand in years. A Sunday evening, the line was long. We waited at least 20 minutes for someone to take our order after the cook said the grill was empty. All three hot dogs eaten on the spot were perfect, in terms of the crisp snap to the outer casing to the flavor and juiciness

Casual walk-up food. I really love this place, a good hot dog is such a good guilty pleasure! Everyone is always really nice too, the last time I was there it started POURING and they really went above and beyond to make sure I had a cover to keep my food dry for the walk to the car, which they really didn't need to do since I was parked maybe 15ft away. Love the food, love the staff and love the retro-feel atmosphere.

Ordered the fried cheese cubes - it’s literally velveeta cheese with breading… ptsd 🤣 wasted $7.50
