Frank’s Restaurant

1 little star if there was 0 this place would be it. First off does the cook on saturday and sunday look hungover every time or is it just me? I went there the past week with my family and order the same things seems like every time the size of your meal varies with what kind of mood the cook is in, if he’s feeling generous the pancakes and plate portions are larger if he’s not than expect a small plate, but your paying the same shouldnt it be the same size. hmmmm? Food was awful, homefries were soaked in about 1 cup of frying oil and they were cut so small you couldn’t even tell they were potatoes. Bacon was my side and it was frail and brittle, the only thing that was good was the waitress that works in the front she was very polite i personaly would not recomend people to eat here unless you want a bad experience!

Biscuits & Gravy saturday and sunday straight out of the oven at 9:15 come on downfresh and hot just the way the chef likes them, go down and see him !

1^st time we’ve been to Frank’s Restaurant in Bristol, stopped in for breakfast this morning. The place gets a bit «lost» in the Price Chopper shopping center. Standard diner décor, lots of booths, and the kitchen is open (as a matter-​of-​fact, it’s right against the front window).
My wife ordered a bacon, egg & cheese on a hard roll, I went with the Country Fried Steak breakfast. Meals came out after a short wait, first thing we notice was the generous portions. Everything was tasty, we enjoyed out breakfasts. Sausage gravy on my Country Fried Steak was loaded with meat, the flavor was spot on. Not a lot of places in the Northeast offer Country Fried Steak, so I did appreciate that it is on the menu here.
Service was excellent too, Gary was very friendly and attentive. Since we live just around the corner, I know we’ll be back in the near future. Looking forward to trying some of their lunch selections.
Frank’s Restaurant is a solid 4 Star rating.

This had to have been my worst breakfast experience ever! I took my boyfriend here for breakfast on Father’s Day and we literally had to wait an hour and a half for our food. I’m not exaggerating. By the time we left we had been in there for two hours. The kitchen was EXTREMELY slow. I have never experienced anything like that in my entire life. I am usually very patient and understanding but I was beyond aggravated. I would have asked for it to go but breakfast food tends to get soggy if you don’t eat it right away and can’t really be reheated. Everyone around me seemed to be getting the wrong orders as well. I will definitely never go back there.

Great food for what it is. Service can be slow at times but the coffee is always hot and the employees are always friendly. Have only been here for breakfast, never had a bad experience. Only 4 stars due to the sometimes slow service as well as being a tad pricey. Overall, I would recommend it to anyone.

All I can say is gross. I ordered home fries and it was like mashed potato and slimy. And there sort of expensive for the food they make here. I mean if your going to charge more than most other breakfast spots around at least show that it’s worth it in the food.

Gotta admit, this joint fooled me at first.
Stopped in for a breakfast meeting with a good friend. Upon driving up to the place (in the Price Chopper plaza), I was wondering what I was getting myself into. Upon entering, I figured it out.
This is an unassuming place from the outside. But upon entering, one sees a nice, U-​shaped counter with many seats (with backs). Booths are plentiful. The day we frequented, we found it easy to get a booth in the back where we could talk and catch up.
Standard breakfast fare here. Will the food be something you’ll talk about for weeks to come? Nope. Is it good? Yes! I ordered a scrambled egg plate that was overflowing with food. The amount of food one gets with his/​her order here is very, very impressive. Coffee is plentiful and hot… not too strong, though.
Our server was nice, attentive and apparently hungry. One could see the poor girl grabbing a bite between tables. Hey, Frank… feed your girls, would you? LOL This is not a jab at the place, nor is it a jab at her. I just got a laugh about it as I do the same thing at my place of business. Money waits for no man!
All in all, a very pleasant surprise. I plan on going back next time I’m in the neighborhood. It was a really good plate of food!

Prices are high for the your average breakfast/​lunch place. The idea of a diner is to have quick food at a reasonable price. It’s not a five star zagat restaurant, and therefore shouldn’t charge like one. You want to have regular customers on a daily basis. Your business model shouldn’t be «hit them once, and hit them hard!»
We got there shortly before noon on a weekday, and it was dead. One guy on the counter, always a bad sign for a diner. Especially in Bristol, where people like to eat. The menu is way to big, your not able to focus on placing your order without flipping through pages and glaring at the pictures, which by the way are only «a suggestion of what your food might look like». Thanks!
The waitress was pleasant, but after pressing us to order for the third time we did. I ordered a corned beef sandwich on grilled rye, which in the menu description said it came with honey mustard. Not being a fan of that dressing I asked for thousand island instead. The corned beef was pre cooked, and not of high quality for almost $ 9.00. And the best part was getting the check just to find out my dressing trade costs $ 1.00. Really? Don’t nickel and dime people over silly things, it just gets on your nerves, and ensures there will be no return visit. My table mate ordered eggs, which were medium eggs, not large as advertised on the window. False advertising. Oh, and there was a spoon of home fries, which weren’t that bad if there was more then two bites. You don’t save any money making a cheap plate, you just lose the potential for repeat customers, which means lost revenue.
One other thing of mention, which is pretty rude. I understand it’s a family run business, mother and son, which I think is great. However, don’t talk a different language to one another in the presence of your customers. As loud as you want to put the tv, people can still hear you rattling off back and forth to one another. Not to mention someone might understand you. Yeah, that’s me. Although I don’t look Greek. I can understand you. Not business like, or even family friendly.
Overall not worth the money. Even with the nice little article taped to the register about the cost of food going up. They raised the prices three times in a year! Bottom line, don’t nickel and dime!

The service was friendly, the food was ok… but after leaving, the one thing that sticks in my mind is that, with tip, it cost almost $ 40 for two people to have breakfast. And this was absolutely NOT a $ 40 breakfast. If you stick with the specials, it could be reasonable, but still a little on the high side compared to other restaurants in the area. Seriously, people, $ 3.50 for a glass of orange juice?

Good diner food! I have enjoyed breakfast here many times and have rarely been disappointed. Beware they don’t really have accommodations for large groups so you will have to sit at multiple booths if you have more than 4 in your party.

OK, they raised the prices for their special to $ 2.55 recently. Still a good deal. However, when I went in the crowded restaurant was dead three days in a row. Typical Bristol. It had to be a loss leader at $ 1.99, and it is still a great deal for what you get at $ 2.55. I assume that the people will be coming back. Where else are they going to get all of that for $ 2.55?
