Two of us stopped in for a late Saturday breakfast. The place is clean and well-kept, albeit a new-style diner. The items we ordered were perfect, the service was very good and the bill was not steep. I just wish they had a smoker station out front.

Frank's has become our favorite Sunday morning breakfast spot. Located within Bristol Commons so there is ample parking and when you enter you seat yourself. Have never experienced a wait to be seated and the staff are always friendly. They know what our beverages are already so they just state it to confirm it. Whether we are eating a generous portion of pancakes or an egg white omelette, we love the home fries with onions well done. This place is only open until 2pm so be certain to arrive before then. Kudos to the Chef!

The customer service is very polite and helpful. The flavors are very unique and made with quality ingredients. The machine where your get your frozen yogurt tells you the calories, ingredients, and more. The yogurt bar is clean, full or choices, and very affordable. I will be returning soon!
