Start to finish this place is remarkable....amazing wine selection the best meatballs I have ever eaten...veal Osso Bucco cut with a fork...and the carrot cake and tiramisu! Left us speechless besides this the service was perfect and Tom the owner took time out of his busy night to check on us and chat ....the only disappointment was that we just found this diamond last night!!!!!

I've been getting my coffee and bagels on the weekends there for 20 years. It's a friendly neighborhood gathering place. Angelo and the staff are wonderful. Friendly and accommodating. The bagels, sandwiches, soup and coffee can't be beat. They also deliver! Great gift baskets too.

Old fashioned decor with great burgers, killer fries and onion rings, and a Carvel inside too. Great selection of toppings for burgers and dogs, and great burger alternatives too. We both had the Islander....grab some extra napkins for those! Juicy, delicious and a great shake from Carvel too.

Hardcore Sweet Cupcakes made the birthday cake and some of their world-famous balls for my friend's birthday party this past Saturday (June 11th). Oh, my gosh. The chocolate caramel salty balls were perfection. I want more now. SO, so good. Well done!

Went with my wife for lunch. Wonderful choices on the lunch menu plus a page of specials. Everything we were served was delicious- soup, entree, and dessert. Service was excellent, prompt, but not pushy. Will definitely be going back.

Great local spot for food and fare, especially if you are looking to catch a game. The wings are pretty well known around the state.

Love love love this place. Tonight was our third or fourth time visiting, and we've not once been disappointed!
The staff are friendly, the food is fresh and delicious, there is always plenty to eat (the falafel wraps are HUGE!), and the prices are excellent. Everything tastes authentic -- we especially love the dolma (2 for $1).
Some reviewers below say "You must order at the counter", but we have never found this to be the case (unless you're ordering take out perhaps?). Table service is always quick and pleasant -- no lining up at counters to place your order!
We've seen large groups eating here, as well as families. We're thinking to make this a monthly date night hang out location :)

My client and I came to Frankie's for lunch. I wasn't really too hungry so I just purchased the soup. I was so pleased. It was very flavorful and piping hot, like you would expect on a chilly day, as well as, filling. If ou are looking quick and simple don't forget they have soups too.

Easy to miss their sign. Good was great. We had a generous serving of spinach artichoke dip which was very good. I had the chicken special with spinach artichokes and sun dried tomatoes. It was excellent. It wasn't very busy but service was slow.

Nice, large menu with a very large lunch special menu also. On the plus side, the portions were large. The fried dumplings were soggy and stuck together (so they weren't really fried well). Hot and sour soup was very hot and nicely spiced, but had something floating in it that was questionable (and we'll leave it at that). So I didn't finish the soup. Stir fry beef had great taste but the beef was spongy. Veggies and broccoli were very good, and the fried rice was excellent. Waitress was somewhat scarce, but the guy who brought out our food (I think he was the owner) couldn't have been nicer. It is in a great location with ample parking, so I hope they can get it together and get on their game!!!
