I didn’t get to meet Frank, but wow—this café was busy, friendly, and delicious. Very happy I chose it. I had the half-pound ham and eggs and it was perfect.
Love frank's Cafe. Frank and the whole stuff is so lovely with great service. The sunrise breakfast sandwich is favorite My husband had the sausages and eggs with hash browns. The sausages so so good and I'm not big on sausages and these were full of good flavor.
Went to Franks today for the 1st time. I had heard good things but for some reason never visited this restaurant. My Mistake - it was good. I wanted breakfast did a quick search and Franks popped up. I noticed that I had tagged it as a place to visit. I’m glad we went there today for breakfast. I ordered the Ham & Eggs. It is served with 3 eggs, your choice of hash browns or country potatoes, and your choice of Toast or Pancake or a Biscuit. I selected hash browns (cooked really nicely) and. Biscuit (since they make their biscuits fresh). I really enjoyed my meal. Their coffee is good also. My wife had a their breakfast burrito and again you choose hash browns or country potatoes with Chorizo. It was really big and it was very good. I was lucky enough to steal a bite. The service was also very good. I would highly recommend Franks for Breakfast. I will go back and try other things another time. Definitely glad that we finally went to Frank’s!!!
Serendipitous Delight! After our first option for breakfast didn't work out, we made a wrong turn at just the right time. Plenty of outdoor seating, with about nine tables inside, Frank's was easily able to accommodate us. Especially important for a giant like me. I didn't feel squeezed in. There are plenty of menu options. I can personally vouch for their fluffy, golden brown pancakes. They were bigger than I expected. Eggs and bacon were perfection. Attentive staff!
Nice atmosphere. I ordered corned beef hash. Not fresh but the portions were nice. Cooked well with sourdough toast. Hit the spot man. The fresh squeezed orange juice was top notch. Met my brother at the restaurant. We ate at the patio to accommodate his dog. Will come back.
The food and service was amazing........very cute and immaculately clean......you can literally taste the love cooked in the food.....the tall waitress was really sweet! My only suggestion get a bigger location so more people can come!
First time coming here for breakfast. From the time we parked in front of the restaurant, we were welcomed and invited to come in by one of the staff. We were seated immediately and served by Bryan. Food was good and service was fast and courteous. It's a small restaurant, but very popular and busy.
Whole family loves going to Franks! We drive here from Tracy to enjoy breakfast since we found this spot last year. Can’t go wrong with a basic all American breakfast and Mexican hot chocolate! I believe even the orange juice is fresh. We sat outside this last weekend and it was nice and warm with the overhead heaters. Service is always great! Some times it can get really busy especially inside as it is a smaller place. I think it just depends on the time you go, so get there early like we did!
Came with a group of like 15, super accommodating in getting us seated and all taken care of. Food was awesome and there was some kind of event going on close by so the vibes were great! Service was also great, definitely recommend this spot.
First time trying this place. Prices were reasonable. Better than a few places I’ve eaten recently for breakfast. Portion size was fair. Flavor was great! Best part the owner came outside to our table and greeted us. What a nice guy! We will definitely be back soon to try lunch!
