⭐ 3.3/10 = 1.66/5 - Only two stars because 1.5 isn't an option. 🍔 Food - 2/5 ⭐ French fries are pre-frozen and generic. Reading here seems people have better luck with onion rings. I'll never know because I'm not coming back. Also sure their chili is probably fine but not vegetarian and I can't eat both a burger and chili in one sitting. My partner is veg. so having options is important. We would have shared this together on fried items. Ordered no ketchup/no mustard cheeseburger, add mayo, to-go. Burger was cooked well and delicious, bun held up well and was a good texture, veggies were good AND MY PICKLE WAS MISSING.. so a good patty isn't all it takes to make a good restaurant.. Mayo arrived as ONE cold 0.4oz Heinz packet.. for a burger. If the bottom bun is drowning in shredded le

I was excited to try Lee Frank's but not as good as some of the reviews especially the onion rings that received excellent reviews. They were the worst greasy onion ring I have ever had. I liked my cheeseburger, although I requested no mustard or ketchup and they put it on. I also like a toasted bun. The fries were very good and no idea why the onion rings were so bad ! The atmosphere was leftover from Donut Love so really didn't go with a burger joint.

Excellent diner with a no fuss menu. The milkshakes are hand-scooped and the burgers are generously sized. The crinkle-cut fries are nicely salted. Online ordering is still being set up; they are waiting to see how orders come in before enabling it fully. But calling to place an order also works in the meantime.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Tony B · Nov 2025

Such a disapointment. This restaurant is owned by Lee Frank, a very successful chef in the Seacoast Area. He has been the executive chef at Anneke Jan (RIP) in Kittery, and is currently the owner/chef at Otis in Exeter. He was also a James Beard semi-finalist. The man knows how to cook and knows how to run a restaurant. I've eaten at Otis and Anneke Jan's several times and always enjoyed my experience at both. Knowing that, I expected this burger joint to at least be better than average. News flash, it isn't. Walking through the door gave me my first clue as what to expect. It was like walking into a morgue. Quiet. Still. Not sure you want to be there. There was absolutely no atmosphere. No vibe. And since Lee Frank's is in the location of the former Donut Love shop, it looks a bit lik

Pleasure to be the 2nd review ever... I really enjoyed Lee Frank's. Simple and quality ingredients and very friendly prices. Our group had two hot dogs (New York and Chicago), 2 single cheese burgers dirty, and a chili cheese burger. Very tasty. Only potential feedback was maybe a few less raw onions on the chili cheese burger, it was a bit overwhelming. The griddled onions dirty style on my cheeseburger were fantastic however.
