What rainstorm1 doesn't like about Frankies Diner:
This restaurant should be shut down. I brought my children here and was appalled to see one of the waitresses cleaning the toilet, then 5 minutes later she was serving food. I was shocked and asked the owner how this could happen. I was told that if I didn't like the place, I shouldn't come back. It was a horrible experience and I will not be returning. I will be reporting them. View all feedback. What User likes about Frankies Diner:

For quick average food this is the place. Nothing outstanding in quality but the quantity and the price were good.

Frankies has moved from first floor premises, into a ground floor layout a few yards away.

Yet the food is not too bad, but is very poor on presentation, ie gravy trails over the edge of the plate, it never looks well presented, I guess you get what y...
