The food is always spot on breakfast is great the potato are the best I've had/ the pork chop breakfast is so big you can't finish both/ chicken fried is off the hook and all the breakfasts are really good! Angie and her children have done a wonderful job since Franks passing and he is sorely missed by the community/ I have eaten at Franks Cafe for over 30 years and have never had a bad meal. The community eats there every day . Just a great place with good food and a welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend Franks Cafe!!

Every time we visit the area, we make an absolute point to visit Franks. The family who owns it and runs the Cafe are wonderful people, always quick with a joke and a smile. The food has always been phenomenal and gives you the feeling that it was made with love and deliciousness, honestly you cannot go wrong with any selection you make here. The place is quaint, and filled with photos from Greece and country items. We always make it a point to stop by and grab a bite when we visit.

We go to Franks Cafe almost every day. Their French Dip is always delicious. Their service is the best . It's like home cooking. I have never had food there that is bad. I read a review about their experience at Franks and the French Dip and the service I just want to say we were sitting at the table in front of them and the waitress was not rude but did want to know why she was unsatisfied because she wanted to correct it. And she did not guilt her into anything. She did defend their food because there is nothing wrong . There were several people having the French Dip and no complaints. Don't let one disgruntled costumer keep you from Franks because it is a very good restaurant and wonderful people running it
