On 5/10/2026 Charlie Ward had this to say:
First time giving Frankies Tavern a try tonight. I've heard nothing but great things about them. I got my order via Door Dash and it was delivered right on time and the food was still so very warm. I got the Cod sandwich and my husband got the loaded nachos. (He never eats his whole order of anything, but this was gone.) I will definitely be ordering from Frankies again in the near future to try a few other items I have my eye on. 10/10 recommend.
