Customer Reviews

"Frank's Grill serves up huge portions and good, hearty food. I had the chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans everything was flavorful and satisfying. My husband enjoyed the grilled pork chops with eggs, grits, hash browns, and toast. The service was okay, likely because we came in right after a big rush. Overall, a solid spot for comfort food and generous servings."

"Franks has your classic diner style breakfast without the taste of old grease. We love coming here and highly recommend getting the breakfast combo. Everything is Texas sized of course. The mini waffles came with the combo and are easily my favorite. They're an inch thick and about 3 inches wide EACH. My math says that's a whole lot of waffle to classify as "mini" "

"Place has good home cook country style food from breakfast to lunch. I've never had a bad experience and I always go by myself because it does get packed on the weekends and I'll sit at the bar top. The time that I did wait with my family to get seated it wasn't more than 10-15 min of waiting. The waitresses are always very respectful and attentive."

- Calvin R.

"So, I was pretty excited about trying this place because of some of the reviews. The only thing, honestly, that was good was my pancakes. I couldn't even eat the biscuits or hash browns. The eggs were decent, and the sausage tasted like Walmart sausage that you make in the microwave. The service wasn't the best; I had to ask multiple times for something that should already be given when the drinks come (straws). Then, they were trying to charge me for three pancakes when I only got two. Luckily, I paid attention to that. They have signs everywhere about tipping, which honestly made me want to tip less than I normally do."

"First time at this location! Finding parking was a bit of a mess, and the plaza could definitely use an update. It had a 'mom-and-pop' vibe but on a larger scale. It was a Saturday morning, fairly busy, but we were still seated quickly, even with our large group and the staff was very friendly. Zujey was our server, and she did a phenomenal job. We were a group of 11, and she handled everything efficiently. She was nice, patient, detailed, and attentive. Thank you, Zujey! I ordered the 'Frank's Grill Special,' and it was okay. The food didn't have much flavor, but I did enjoy the mini waffles and grits. I could appreciate the portion sizing, which was generous without being overwhelming. Overall, I'd rate it 7/10. Thank you, Frank's Grill, for a good brunch experience!"

"This place is very straight forward, nothing fancy but still a solid breakfast spot. I got the Frank's grill special. It comes with 1 sausage patty, 2 slices of bacon, 2 eggs, I got half grits and half hash brown, a the 2 mini waffles. The portion sizes were great. I enjoyed everything except for the grits, they weren't as creamy as I like mine, but overall this place is good."
