Reviews

My partner recommended eating here because he visited many times, and claimed it to have the "Best Breakfast in Tuscon." Those are some pretty strong words, so I couldn't refuse the to experience this great place myself. Honestly, it was enjoyable to from start to finish.
But speaking as a critic, I would warn potential guests that this place is so popular that it was fully packed by 10 in the morning on a Friday in March.
That means even if you schedule a visit on a day where you are positive it won't be crowded, more than likely you'll be wrong. My partner & I waited five minutes to be seated in a tight dining area with your chairs close to the other guests.
The kitchen area is clearly visible when you enter, and you can hear the searing of the food.
We were seated in the very back and it was still loud.
The rowdy noises coupled with the close proximity to customers could make a guest overstimulated and uncomfortable. Customer service is at my top priority when I rate though, so this place still gets high remarks for how the staff treated us.
They kept a cool head through the chaos, and gave us exactly the order we wanted.
With so many people, I feared it wouldn't come out right.
But they served what I ordered, which was scrambled eggs & bacon with a side of hash browns and white, buttered toast (Tip: Try the grape jelly with the toast.
It's delicious!). Everything was perfectly done, and I ate it all right up.
I can see why my partner named it the best food in town.
It was fantastic, but with such a heavy crowd, I hope they're able to expand their business so it won't feel so claustrophobic.
Great work overall, and I'll order from here again!

Hey, Jennie! I have to say that yours is one of the most detailed and positive reviews that Frank’s has gotten.
I’m grateful you followed the recommendation of your partner and gave us a try and, other than the crowd and noise, had an enjoyable from start to finish experience.
The photos of what you ordered are top notch - thanks for posting them.
I am curious, though, with so many positive things to say, why you’d rate Frank’s with only 3 Stars.
Not only here but on YELP and Trip Advisor as well.
Don’t get me wrong.
The words you wrote say a lot.
I don’t see how your low stars relate to your high compliments though.
Can you help me understand?

I had the Cheese steak sandwich and fried potatoes.
It was outstanding! Wife had the hamburger she loved it.
girlfriend had the French toast, I tried it and loved it.
Other girlfriend had the breakfast biscuit she said it was amazing.
The coffee was really good.
The servers were very attentive and kind.
First time here and I would recommend this place highly to everyone who loves breakfast and lunch.

Hunky-dory to get details and compliments on meals enjoyed by 4 people, 2 for breakfast and 2 for lunch.
Thanks for the 5 Stars and for sharing the deets, David, as well as your solid recommendation.
Glad you, your wife, and the two girlfriends enjoyed what you ordered as well as your service.
Hope it was your first of many times eating at Frank’s.

Sunday breakfast here, great food, and great service, they treat you like family! Loved the music and the atmosphere.
Budget friendly and would come again!

Thanks, Bill, for eating at Frank’s and for sharing that you’d come again.
We do think of our diners as family, so it is easy to treat them as such.
Enjoyed your photos - nice to put a face with a name.
