The best BBQ I’ve had in a while. Had the “Little Frank” burger, absolutely delectable! Tried some of paw’s brisket and ribs, also amazing, thank you for the hospitality and amazing food Frank’s BBQ!

While visiting The Shrine of Christ’s Passion, I came across Frank’s Backyard BBQ. Upon arriving, it didn’t initially look inviting. I am SO glad I decided to give it a go! The hospitality was warm and welcoming. The inside was, well, just as the name states, like a friend’s “backyard BBQ”! I had the rib tips and my friend had the pulled pork. We shared sides, the cole slaw. They serve both versions, with cream and vinegar. I like the creamy one but both were tasty. We also shared the loaded taters. Those were delicious. I ordered the spicy corn. That was also delicious, but I believe it needed a splash of fresh lime juice to brighten it up. Regardless, it was really good. They have three types of sauces on the tables and they are all equally good! The tables are picnic tables and there are some games, like checkers, on the tables. Love it! I will definitely have to make a return trip soon and try something else. I definitely recommend trying this hidden jem. Oh, they also have a patio. And the price is very reasonable.

Pretty good BBQ, nice people, and super fast. There’s plenty of parking and dining tables inside and on a patio if you choose to dine in. I wish they had more not spicy options for the kiddos because the rub is great, the chili is tasty, but it’s just too hot for a toddler. I recommend the turkey breast and Mac and cheese.

As a seasoned food critic, I must express my absolute adoration for this restaurant crew. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and cordiality by the entire team, but I must especially commend the guy that helped me for his exceptional hospitality. He went above and beyond to ensure that my experience was pleasant and accommodating, even patiently and expertly answering my barrage of detailed questions with ease and without making me feel the least bit demanding. I could go on about the outstanding service, but let’s move on to the real star of the show – the food.

So yummy!! We had the rib tip bogo special for $10, a side order of garlic potatoes, loaded taters, brisket chili, sweet corn bread, and brownies. The ribs were so fantastic! We will be back again to get full slabs next time!! The potatoes were very heavy on the garlic, which I’d normally love, but it didn’t complement very well with the bbq sauce. I didn’t realize the loaded potatoes would also be the garlic potatoes again, I wish the cashier would have pointed that out. Those were better than the plain, in my opinion. The cornbread was super dry so I put it in the chili. The chili was good!! I’ve never had brisket chili but we will definitely get it again. Has a great kick to it. Lastly, the brownie. Oh my gosh. It was the most delicious, life changing, ooey gooey brownie I’ve ever had. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to order from here again without getting at least one brownie!!!! I was going to give 4 stars, that that brownie fixed everything.
