Come on in!
I’ve been looking at Frankie’s for the past five years and finally wandered inside to try them out. The place looks a little funky from the outside, but I had no idea how into it they were until I was inside the place. You order up front and they find you later with whatever you ordered wherever you are in the eclectic seating area/patio run. It was spring so the whole place was open air. The next surprise was the full bar. The shakes were a little unexpected but welcome as I jumped on the chocolate peanut butter shake, loved the fact they had tots as a side, and went with the standard chili cheese dog to see if they were any good at this. They were. Nathan’s franks, slightly toasted bun, rich mild chili and a whole lot of grated cheese.
Kinda wish I’d discovered this place earlier–kinda glad I found a new place now. They’ve got a lobster dog I have to try and I almost went with the gator sausage, but I really wanted a chili cheese dog right then and there. Not sure if this place is going to keep me away from Sonic and Der Wienerschnitzel, but that chocolate peanut butter milkshake sure tilts the scales in their favor. Oh, and the guy who owns the place brought me my shake, and then a few minutes later brought me another half shake saying he’d made too much and wasn’t going to sell it to anyone else so here you go. Really made my day. Dug the dog, dug the Dawg house, and very, very happy to have tots and a shake on a gorgeous spring day!
