    I had the quarter pound chicken burger and was a little disappointed because part of the chicken breast was quite burnt. However, having said this the onion rings I ordered were amazing! Best ever!

    Was somewhat skeptical when I walked in, as I was expecting more of a "diner" experience, but I was very pleasantly surprised. The experience is more of a "family" dining experience. But everything about our time at Frankie's was great, from the friendly welcome to the very friendly and attentive waitress who took care of us. The menu is very diverse, with many affordable options, and a "set" 3-course menu. Daily drink specials, and an all-day option as well! Tried the 3-course fixed menu which was very tasty, and a normal-sized portions. All in all, great value, and good style "comfort" food.

    We had a tomato soup and grilled cheese; and a seafood soup and a mixed green salad. The tomato soup could have had more flavor but the rest of the meal was very good. Super waitstaff. Very responsive and everyone was friendly.

    Great service, delicious food, excellent desserts. This is a gem of a spot, in the heart of downtown. Staff are friendly and attentive, portions are generous and delivered swiftly, and the ambiance is casual and relaxed. We came for the key lime pie, and have been back several times to enjoy the rest of the menu, bringing friends and family to share the experience.

    Frankies is not a "dining room" but an top notch "eatery". There was nothing that needed improving and alot that was way above average. The host was exceptional and the servers were very attentave the food fresh and my 3 coarse dinner special more than I could eat (the excellant cheese cake was huge!) There were 4 of us and no one had anything but positive to say. We will be back.

    We were over to attend a wedding. Sun was out, temperature was just right, crowds were not crazy and it was a wonderful day to visit Frankie’s. Reservations are recommended especially in the summer fun season. We were received well, and our wait once our order was taken was short. You know the place wants return customers when staff are all moving fast to look after orders. Food was wonderful and presentation equaled the taste. We will return to Frankie’s when we visit Victoria again. Peace

    A welcome recommendation brought us to Frankie’s where we found a varied menu of both food and drink. The host and servers were excellent, friendly and attentive and everyone took just a moment to show interest in us and our day. Our orders for wine, beer, salad, lasagna and spaghetti were taken and delivered efficiently. Great flavours and ample portions. Try the key lime pie - delicious !

    We had a BBQ chicken burger and a turkey club sandwich. Lots of meat on both sandwiches. We also had our choice of two sides which we really appreciated over half a plate of French fries. Service was excellent.

    Everything was okay. Server never came back after ordering food, someone else dropped off our order, which meant we did not ever have our drinks refilled for the rest of our meal. Food was good and everyone was nice but it would have been nice to have some water with our meals.

    Frankie’s has become my go to restaurant in Victoria. The service is always very good. There are plenty of menu items to choose from and from my experience they may not all be spectacular but they are all very well done. It’s a heat family diner and I think we are lucky to have it here. The atmosphere is comfortable and the prices are fair. 😊
