Keep in mind that this restaurant is loud due to the amount of people. Def if you're going during high traffic it'll be hard to talk to each other. Our server Trey was really nice and felt like a super honest dude when he shared his favorite dishes. The chicken fried steak was delicious along with the waffles ? It's been a minute since I've been impressed with waffles. And the marinara sauce that comes with the cheese sticks oh my goodness. Probably the best marinara sauce I've had by far ! Would definitely come back to try more food. I will say I didn't care for the Mac and cheese. Mash potatoes were solid though

If so, get them. I perfect waffles but something told me to trust the pancakes and they were great. I'll be back for sure!

I have gone back for nostalgia a few times during the day and the food was still made to order, prices were still reasonably low and the wait staff reminded me of a safe place to get rid of my day and my safe diet. Kinda feels like home, missing your childhood and humble beginnings. Somebody's intoxicated, somebody's on a first date, somebody's passing through, somebody's lost, somebody's on their third meal of the day (motel parking lot adjacent) and the server loves everything about your fancy bracelet or handbag. Sometimes you just need that definitely one of my places for old Times sake. It's humbling. I've yet to try the hot biscuit, but the burger and fries is good anytime.

First impression: it's a cute restaurant, perfect for a casual brunch or lunch. The aesthetic is clean and modern, also a little rustic. Service: Service was good! Food came out fast and can't complain! Food: After much deliberation, I chose the Raspberry Beret (chicken sandwich). I tend to like sweeter foods, so this was right on the dot for me. ! I really liked how the chicken was moist and how the flavors all came together after every bite. My mom got the banh mi, which she liked! I will definitely be recommending this place!

Very disappointing experience at House of Pies. When we walked in, no one acknowledged us or gave…read moreus any direction. After standing there for about 10 minutes with still no help, we finally sat down in the entrance lobby to continue waiting. A waitress then came over with an attitude--not to apologize for the lack of service, but to lecture me that "next time" I needed to make sure I stayed there the whole time and waited to be seated. No, thank you. If your front-of-house staff isn't acknowledging guests or managing the entrance properly, don't lecture customers who have already been waiting patiently. At that point, we left. There are too many places that actually appreciate their customers for me to spend money somewhere that treats people this way. We will not be returning to this location.

My husband and I have been eating at Frank's for over 35 years in one location or another. And,…read morethat alone should serve as a testament to how much we love these diner style restaurants! The food is always good, plentiful and efficiently served. The hash-browns and grits are always fresh and cooked perfectly. The homemade rolls are fluffy and delicious and the pancakes are generously sized and thick. And, on the very rare occasion that there has been a mix up on an order, things were rectified quickly and with no hassles. So you should understand that we were devastated by the news that the Frank's location closest to our house was totally destroyed by fire recently. That would be the 1915 Mangum Rd. location. It is my understanding from employees at neighboring businesses that they plan to reopen, at least temporarily, in a vacant building on a lot that is adjacent to the burned building. I have not checked that for any factual accuracy, so take it with a grain of salt, as it were. Meanwhile, we will drive the extra miles to one of the other locations.

I tried the fish this time and will say the coating was ok, however, it slipped off. I asked for fried hard. I felt the food today was bland and lacked any flavor.

ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS!! Let this place die like it's trying to. Unfortunately we were in a pinch…read moreand staying in a hotel nearby so we had limited options. 1) Nobody in the place at 7:00 on a Friday should have been a sign. 2) Waiter never took our drink order. He asked our food order first. We had to ask him if we could get drinks first. 3) When we did order we watched our drinks sit at the end of the bar for 10 min until I had to go retrieve them myself. 4) The food was INCREDIBLY mid for it being that expensive. Undercooked potatoes, overcooked chicken, not a single person at the table of 4 adults had a good thing to say about their meal 5) It took 2 FREAKING HOURS with no one there. When I say no one I mean completely empty 6) Trying to check out and leave. Our server who was looking for an upsell told us he saw a cookie in the back that was ready to go. Thanks for telling our 3 small children that at 9:30. Reluctantly after telling him no several times it was awkward enough to cave. Cookie took about 20 minutes to come out. We had been there for over 2 hours at that point and we had to just get up and leave. If you go to this restaurant after reading this, you deserve the horrible experience you will certainly have.

Inside is much better. 4 Stars Overall: 5 Stars

They had live music on, and from the looks of it if you want to be a part of the show you can as they also have karaoke it looks like. The gentleman that greeted us was so nice and made us feel so welcomed! It wasn't one of those "oh I have to be nice to these guests because I'm getting paid" type people, you could really tell his niceness was genuine. I felt like I was at a fine dining restaurant. Our server was also very nice, and super helpful as I asked for a wine suggestion and she hit the nail with her suggestion. She brought a small sample for me to try before serving it. The food itself was delicious! We got the onion rings appetizer, and you could tell they were made to order. They were super fresh and also crispy. The chicken parmigiana was good, and they were not stingy with their portions at all. The picture I took doesn't do the dish justice. I will definitely go back to this place, as their food, service and overall experience is a great one when you dine in.

When she delivered our drinks and food she could barely sit the things on the table before sprinting off!

I started to look at the other staff and they were doing the same thing to the other tables as well (So Weird)! Sometimes I can overlook not so good food if the staff is good but in this case, it was all bad! I will not be returning and will not recommend this place! So many other places that are better!
