Alright, honestly the food was great and most of all the waitresses Megan & Kenzie were sweet and on top of our drink refills to the point it was honestly amazing. Thank you for another full belly.

Do not order take out here. My goodness I got charged for oil that I didn’t get. The salad is tiny and cheap lettuce and the bread is flat and pathetic. This place has gone downhill. Be warned!

I grew up in the northeast, the home of Italian food in America, so my personal bar when it comes to this type of cuisine is very high. That said, Franks Italian Restaurant gets near the bar, but certainly not over it.

I will start by saying Frank’s appears to be in a remodeled fast food joint. When we pulled into the parking lot I actually asked my wife if it was fast food based on the building shape and how it sat. Beyond that initial moment of question, the way the building was remodeled looked very well done, inside and out. The interior wet an ambiance expected of an Italian restaurant.

Chicken piccata was a white unseasoned chicken breast that wasn’t even lightly breaded or fried. Sauce was sweet and tasted canned, butter wine sauce made my Nonna reach out from the afterlife and slap the fork out of my hand. Fazolis is a more delicious alternative, and they don’t charge you $16 for dog food.

Some of the worst food I have ever had! Can’t call it Italian food because they don’t know what that is. My husband ordered “Lasagna”, if you can call what he got lasagna. Very small amount of very ground beef with lasagna noodles and cheese, no ricotta. Worst Cannoli I’ve ever had. The worst part was the price, I ordered a chicken salad… don’t even get me started on that, not very much food for about $40.00. I would have given it zero stars if I could have

Passing through Van Buren & the hotel recommended Frank’s. Service was prompt and helpful. The food and sauces were reasonably priced and excellent, the homemade bread was a real knockout. Tiramisu was incredible-rivaled anything we’ve had in Italy. Easy access from I 40. We’ll definitely stop here again.

Absurdly horrible! Started out with stuffed mushrooms that were really good! Then came the entrees! Just bad bad bad! We had to actually go to a different restaurant to get dinner because neither me or my wife could eat the absolute worst Italian food we ever ate! Chef boy r dee makes better Italian cuisine!

Ordered take-out, they forgot the grilled chicken salad. My husband had to drive back, we live north of Alma, and get it. Got it home and they forgot the salad dressing. Called them back, spoke with the “manager,” and all she said was, I’m sorry. This restaurant is poorly managed and the food is truly overpriced.

We decided to try Franks while passing through, and we were not disappointed! The food was tasty, and ended up being too much for us to finish. Waitress was pleasant, and the prices were very reasonable.
