Was out East and looking for lunch and came upon Frank & Tony's on Yelp; seemed interesting. F&T is a dive bar just off Erie Street in Willoughby. Found it ok and I did find street parking nearby despite the piles of snow. Outside is nice, once inside the impression is more dive like with a long bar on one side and booths on the other. Lighting is dark and there is plenty of weathered wood. The bartender was covering the whole place, but still did a nice job of being attentive. The menu is fairly typical bar food hamburgers, sandwiches, salads, pizza and such. I figured I would try the Grouper Sandwich. The Grouper is a nice sized fillet with a thick coating that is nice and crispy on a hoagie bun with lettuce and tarter sauce; the potato of the day was thin french fries. The fish was good, but I didn't taste the promised Italian spices, the french fries were crisp and tasty. Overall a nice sandwich, but nothing special. Frank & Tony seems like it would be a good place to hang and have some drinks and maybe grab some food. I was hoping for the food to be a little more exciting, but it was certainly good. A nice alternative in downtown Willoughby if you want to go casual. read more

Dog friendly patio bar. Neighborhood pub w beer, liquor and food. Smoking is allowed in outside patio bar.

Awful. I ordered off Uber Eats and the time frame and driver were fine. Sure, a delivery order is never as good as if you are dining in so I had my expectations managed. However, I wanted to relay the reality of what food from here is like. The quality and attention to detail is lacking from this place and you are better off ordering from a chain. If your idea of good food is Sysco (ready made frozen food that is reheated or fried) than this might be just fine for you. We are on a road trip and after driving for hours ... this was one of the few options opened around 10pm. I looked at Yelp and thought this was going to be ok. I ordered a small white pizza and asked for onions and Italian sausage to be added and willing to pay the up charges (sadly we only got plain cheese) and the fish sandwich tasted really off. Both the fish itself and the wilted lettuce and luke warm tartar sauce and soggy waffle fries. read more

Frank and Tony's is a good place to hang out. Service was good with a great atmosphere. Bella was a great bartender.

I love Frank & Tony's. I love their pizza and they have a decent beer selection. It's a great blue collar bar. A place where the music is loud and the atmosphere laid back. What I don't love is the service. It varies on every visit. This time it was more tolerable waiting for our pizza because we ordered some appetizers first. They arrived promptly, about 10 mins after ordering. The pizza arrived about 25 minutes after. Our waitress was very nice and sweet, though the sense of urgency just wasn't there. I feel bad even saying that because I know she meant well. But she needed a bit more pep in her step. Overall folks, if you go to this bar don't expect 5 star service. You will be waiting for your food, but it will be worth it once it arrives. Give this place a chance. read more

Frank & Tony's - Veggie Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Willoughby, Ohio

My friends and I used to come here almost every week to grab some brew & grub! We stopped coming so often because of the crowd and food quality.. we took a break and came back, it all seemed to work itself out. They offer beer in a wonton size. You know.. when you order Chinese take out and you get the large wonton? That. Full of your choice of draft. Amazing. Their food prices aren't too bad - very awesome wings & pizza. This time, we decided to try their sandwiches. The Ruben & philly steak. Both were huge and stuffed full of meat. The philly had fresh mushrooms & onions on it. Not the canned stuff. The waffle fries was the perfect side.. Service was good, we got our drinks and food fairly quick! We need to make it a point to come more often. read more

1st time there for the game on Sunday, Great staff especially Angela. Cold beer with pizza slices. Had a great time.

Updated Review: Lemon Diesels all day. Sunday all day happy hour 2 dollar beer and well.

Stopped in for after dinner drinks, service was terrible. Waitress was three days in and told us so, which could be over looked if the bartender and manager were being helpful to her instead of drinking with regulars behind the bar. We won't be back. read more

I have always had an enjoyable meal and time here when back in Mentor. I had a great pretzel last visit that I shared with a very drunk woman. That great staff got her home safely and didn't serve her. Balance is amazing thing. read more

Your typical hole in the wall bar they have 20 cent boneless wings on Thursday and 20 cent bone in wings on Wednesday's. They have like half ounce shots which isn't on the service staff that's on the cheap ownership. It's owned by the same group who owns the Garage Bar and Anderson's. Not a bad spot though the bartenders are always awesome. read more

I got the word these guys opened back up and my weekend pizza night is BACK ON! FAT's pizzas are so Damn good, and the ladies behind the bar are always so nice when I go in. Glad they're back! read more

This is probably ny favorite bar! All staff members are very personable. The Service is great! You can even bring your puppy to the patio. All around 5 stars. read more

Pizza: Crust very dense. Great toppings. Liked that the bacon was crisp. Meatball Calzone: Really good. Marinara for dipping maybe came out of fridge because it was cold. Caesar Salad: Really good in size. Was surprised to get carrots, celery and olives in it. Came with Italian dressing not caesar. (Probably mistake by whomever packing order to go.) read more

I have never actually had a good time at this place. Always far too crowded on weekend nights and full of the types that will touch you "accidentally". Service is so-so, if not just plain bad. And I have friends that work here. Sorry guys! I'm only giving FAT's (what the DTW folk call it) 3 stars because I LOVE their pizza. It is seriously good. Hard to believe, I know. Call ahead to order one, expect to wait for over an hour even when they're dead, but still... wait for it because it's really good. And getting one slice after you're drunk is just not the same. The crust is different. You have to order the whole damned pizza to really enjoy it. There's a week night (Mondays maybe?) were they do $5 pizzas and $1 drafts. So worth it. Other than that, I'd never eat here. read more

Before reading, know this, FAT's is perfectly safe, its clean, and by no means does my review reflect the inside decor of this place. I would go there 5 days a week if I didn't live 15 minutes away and if they would just have a friendlier bar crowd after hours and a more attentive bar staff. That said, keep reading. 3 stars for the $1.25 happy hour beer specials and the long bar that allows you to find a seat during. I have had their pizza and it is good. I also dig the free popcorn. Some of the wait staff are sssllllllooowwww and it seems that they ignore you if they do not recognize you as a regular or it could be that the staff is unable to withhold more then one or two beer orders in their head before forgetting. Don't know, its annoying, but the beers are cheap. It does get pretty full at night with younger kids and some semi goth types. The music later at night is something that you wouldn't find on any local radio stations or on ANY of my cd's / mp3's. Its a slightly lighter version of death music like suicidal tendencies or sepeltura but a tad harder then Metallica, regardless, that too is annoying. On a high note, they do have daily specials like AYCE crab, $5 pizza, $.25 wings, etc. I just am never there past 8 on the weekday to enjoy these specials. Wings were OK when I had them once and a bearded, 75 year old man sitting next to me had a sausage sandwich that looked pretty good. Go for the beer.....then do yourself a favor and move on to a finer establishment in downtown Willoughby. read more

Popped in here during a bar crawl. Absolutely atrocious overhead lighting. Is someone secretly shining a black light on the bar because it sure as hell feels like it. Mediocre pizza so save the $3 before you fork it over for a slice. Weird place. read more

I love FATS. The food is great and the people are wonderful. I have not found anything they serve not to be wonderful. Beer is cold and reasonable. read more

Frank & Tony's - The most beautiful bartender in Lake County, Ohio - Pizza Near Me - Willoughby, Ohio

Not so great. I've been here a couple times and I'm not sure why I went back after the first visit. One of the bartenders was really short and rude with me for no reason. The outside bar would be nice potential bonus expect you feel like you're in a tiny metal cage with the smokers. Lot of bar seats at the bar and casual, but there are so many better places to visit in Willoughby. read more

Went here because I had heard the pizza was excellent. People had raved about the crust, but complained about wait times and service. We waited about 40 minutes for pizza and wings. Our server was friendly, though she got the draft beer order wrong. We ordered dortmunder and got miller. The pizza - I Have had cafeteria pizza better than this pizza. The sauce was terrible and the crust was doughy. I was very disappointed. I was told the pizza was worth the wait. It was NOT. I will never step foot in this place again. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! The tap beer still taste awful! The bartender over charged my tab. I spoke to them about it and they did not correct the issue. Bartenders are AWFUL! Inattentive and rude. read more

Is it possible to give no star? Came here during the Willoughby Chocolate Crawl and they were a hot mess! Bartenders were oblivious to ppl waiting for service. If you miss a college dive bar this is the place for you, but if you want service or a drink or anything - go somewhere else! read more

Yummy wings great inexpensive drinks. Not the top of town so come as you are. Pizza is cheap. Big slices I prefer meatball and banana peppers read more

Frank & Tony's - Yum 10 cent wings - Pizza Near Me - Willoughby, Ohio

Horrible place to go! After waking an hour and a half for food we ended up leaving because people that came in after us were getting their food. Management is non existent in the evening so we were told. We're offered a free drink if we continued to stay and wait for our food, no thanks! Kitchen staff should would not even have jobs there if I were in charge. There were every where but the kitchen. At the bar hitting on girls outside smoking it was ridiculous. Felt bad for our waitress she was only there for 2 weeks he deserves a better place to work with owners who care about their worker and customers and not just the bottom line. They only car that the bar maids do the hula hoop on the bar so drinks are bought! read more

food is always good no matter what time you go, and kai is abs the best server in the world, even if she isnt our responsibility she comes to our rescue when we have to wet our whistle read more

Unless you are a 20-something, single, macho-acting guy: don't expect good service (if ANY service) at all. I have been here a few times and experienced the same situation over and over again. I guess they get regulars since (most of) the female bar-tenders dress as if they wished they worked at Hooters. I get it: cleavage = tips....for some people. I was a bar-tender for over a decade. I tip very well when service is good. I don't care about your tits. What I care about is polite and attentive service. When my simple pizza is taking over 45 minutes to arrive and there are only about 8 other people in the bar I expect you to say something to me. Go ahead: make your money by showing skin. I bet people like me are better tippers when acceptable service is provided. read more

Pizza is cheap - really dry crust, though. Bartenders are cool, I never had an issue getting service. One girl hula hoops on the bar. I liked that. She has a robust physique. Drank a cheap craft beer and left. Ill stop by again sometime. read more

Hi I came In Wednesday night to order some Togo food. I placed My order with Britney to get a red sauce hawian pizza and philly with no mushroom add green pepper and shredded lettuce. She gave me a white sauce pizza and philly with banana pepper not addressing that ur company did not sell green pepper. While I was Waiting for my food my boyfriend came in to order bud light and Alicia approaches after now coming over 15 minutes Later. Demands I show Her my I'd which I didnt Bring in with me because I was Placing a Togo. Walked away from us came back and started bitching at my boyfriend for over 5 minute after my boyfriend asked her if she could stop talking to him he would like to enjoy the rest of his beer. She walks to the other end to the bar to talk about my boyfriend with a customer. We watched her take several shots , she was so concerned with my id but was in violation of liquor laws herself. she was intoxicated by the way she was dealing with the situation and by the number shots we watched her take. we are reaching Out for a refund for our purchase. I was Just making u aware of situation how unprofessional and horrible customer service ur workers showed us. read more

Pretty good food and waitresses, but the happy hour patrons are not what I would expect after visiting many other downtown Willoughby establishments. Loud, sloppy and overall very inconsiderate of their surroundings. Crowd may change as the night progresses, but not waiting around to see. read more

Great "townie" bar. Has great pizza and great wings, Go on a wing night but be ready to wait. place is packed a lot of times. Cant complain about wings taking a while when the point is to get people in to drink. You cant expect full size wings for 10 cents to come out in 10 minutes so you can eat and leave. The people sitting next to us drinking water were complaining on the wait time. Cute bartenders that are good. Even when Ive been here with a packed bar I still received service pretty fast. Last time i went i found out they service huge pieces of pizza for 2 bucks late at night after the kitchen closes. Nothing like get a slice of pizza thats still hot at 2am. Dont come here expecting a fancy martini with fresh fruit and a new york strip. Come wanting a huge mug of cold beer and some good greasy food while making some new loud friends. read more

I was having a great amazing time until "Marissa" got here. She was rude, threw away my food before I was finished then told me it was my fault because I went to the bathroom. Fuck her, and fuck this place while she's here. I'll come back if I know for a fact she won't be here. read more

The music is often too loud. I get it, it's a bar, but sometimes it can be ridiculous shouting to be heard across a table. The food is decent and the wait isn't great but I'm not sure it merits the horror expressed in some of the other reviews. The patio bar is shielded in the winter, which is good for the smokers in your group. The Part I Find Most Annoying Warning: The waitresses have been trained or something to SIT DOWN IN YOUR BOOTH and flirt in a very familiar way when taking your order (provided you come in with a group of mostly/all guys). They also will try to push shots on your group every 5 minutes or so. Some guys may like this. Some guys may LOVE this. I certainly do not. read more

Not a very good bar I have went their a few times and it seams that the bartenders friends get preferential treatment I waited 15 min to get her to come down the bar to serve me with a bad drink and worse attitude and I was 1 of 6 people in their and stay away on the weekend full of underage people if I can post vid I would of three girls bragging that this is the place to get served underaged in Willoughby they were 18 but now the good place was clean and wings are good read more

I used to really love Frank n Tony's. The food is surprisingly good, however the service is horrid. I swear the only hire high school drop outs that are stoned and illiterate. The girls behind the bar do a decent job, but the servers and cook are the slowest human beings on the planet. Used to insist friends and I go there, now it's a last last resort. F. read more

Took over an hour and half to get pizza. Had a sitter with kids, would not refund or compensate for time wasted. Pizza was horrible too, wasn't even cooked all the way through! Will not be back! read more

The pizza at FAT's is REALLY good... however the service is pretty terrible. I have been there on numerous occasions and I have had to wait for a waitress/bartender to acknowledge me for way too long. The bartenders seem to be off in their own little world - flashing and kissing each other and yelling semi-obscene things... which is fine for them, I don't really care about that stuff, but if I have to witness it, I'd like a beer, please. Also, the patio is nice, but a little too small for the claustrophobic in me. read more

Fun place to hang out with friends. Great micro brew list & options on tap. I can see why they were voted best pizza. I've never found the wait times too long when ordering food. Staff has always been really friendly. Awesome happy hour with $1.25 beers. Great alternative to a lot of the higher priced options in Downtown Willoughby. If you haven't been here yet, definitely worth a visit! read more

Terrible place we were told today to order a drink or we were not permitted to eat the wing special, we ask if we still ordered 3 drinks and one person would drink them,the answer was no ? 3 of us there only one of us drink? There are not posting on the menu saying a drink is required to eat a wing special? What kind of restaurant makes u drink to eat, no owner or anyone ever there to talk to about it? We have been eating wings there 4 years terrible how we were treated I'm going to contact a lawyer, this is a terrible way to treat people that patronize a local business. It almost like if ur not a drunk u don't get service. I'm calling also to have there kitchen checked health department. read more

I've sat inside on a weeknight and had appetizers as well as did a carryout pizza. Both times the food was really good! The service is pretty prompt. We had to wait an extra 10 minutes for our pizza but it wasn't a huge deal. I think a little update to the décor or seating would be nice but the food is good! Parking can be a bit of a pain. I haven't figured out the area enough yet to know where the "good" spots are. The parking lot next to the bar costs $3 to park. You can then go anythere around town but it's still kind of silly to pay. Overall a decent experience at the bar! read more

I like this place during the week great food, awesome Rubens, Pizza, and Wings love the week specials my favorite is def weds 3-7 is happy hour $1 drafts and after 7 is 10 wings for $2. Always a good time at FAT's read more
