Always good food and in a nice location right off Frankfort beach. We had the bacon wrapped sausages to start and shared the chicken sandwich. Check it out! Their BBQ dishes are great.

Stopped in on 8/26, Delicious food! Good drinks. Everything we ordered came out quick. Waitress was very nice and attentive. All the staff kept busy and greeted everyone! First time in Frankfort and this restaurant was amazing after a day of sightseeing and shopping.

Dinghy’s is a necessity when we take a trip into Frankfort! Not only is their food amazing, but we have never waited more than 15 minutes to have our food brought out to us, even when they had a full house! The wait staff is incredible, always having conversations with my toddler who only babbles, yet they pretend it’s the most interesting conversation in the world. Their food is always hot and incredibly tasty!

Food was great. You have to try the twice baked potato soup. Very good. I also had the fried perch dinner with fries and they were both fantastic. The food came out very quickly.

Stopped in. They were very friendly right away. It was very busy, but I got my food in a timely manner. I liked watching them interact with the people coming in. The place also tried to be accommodating with very large groups. Food was a little pricey, but the surprisingly quiet atmosphere made up for it. Well worth the visit.

Great local restaurant with amazing service and good food! Erica was our server and she was the most attentive waitress we have ever had. Food was hot, fresh, and very tasty. If you are visiting Frankfort, give Dinghy’s a try.

Good food. Burger was not cooked as asked, but good enough ( a bit more well done that asked for). Service was slow. Not that they were short staffed, just the server was gone. The other two servers were hovering around their tables, ours showed up to bring the food, then the check. I had to go to the bar myself to get more drinks. About a 20 minute disappearing act.

World famous fish and chips! The bombas are so delicious, especially with the home made ranch dressing. This place is always packed; the service is always great and it’s worth the wait.
