Just had a late lunch - a delicious, custom-crafted, panini-pressed pastrami wrap and Greek "side"/shared salad - at Frankie's Deli: Clearwater, on Sunset Point & Hercules. Tracy, the co-owner, skillfully made the perfect wrap (including honey mustard dressing and the works!) and super-fresh & crispy Greek salad. She is very personable, witty and popular with the locals, who greet her by name and make themselves comfortable in her sandwich shop. So glad we discovered this local gem. We'll be back!!! I highly recommend you give them a try. You'll be GLAD you did... read more

Frankie's Deli - a sign for a restaurant - Delis Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Omg this place.....a GEM!!! My husband found this place, we pass by all the time and he stopped one day for lunch and told me about it. Ya'll when I tell you it's one of the most incredible sandwiches that has ever graced my taste buds..I'm keeping it 100%. The owner is this great lady, who's makes all the food herself, and they use boars head meat. The Italian steamroller is my go to everytime it tastes like this place I used to go as a kid and it's brings me back. First the sandwich's are HUGE!! The bread is so good and crispy and the prices are a VALUE!! It gives New York deli, such a cute little place to stop by for lunch or get something to go. Try it next time you need a quick bite to eat! read more

I've been going here for almost a decade! Same great food since day 1. Never a bad sandwich.

Ordered online 4 subs and sides of potato salad through Door Dash. The bill was $75 thanks to door dash fees! The driver had to wait a long time, took over an hour and a half to get 2.4 miles delivery. I believe the driver's wait time cause I have had to wait a long time every time I've gone in. This used to be such a great place about 15 years ago and had a lot of regular customers. I hate to see it declining and hopefully it will get a shot to improve back to the good ole days. read more

Frankie's Deli - What we got. Missing half of the order. - Delis Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Great spot for a quick lunch. This place is right out of upstate New York and you can tell by the abundance of Frank Sinatra and Rat Pack decor. The ladies behind the counter are friendly and personable and they make a pretty good sandwich. I had the Cuban. It was well pressed and crispy. Could have used a little more mustard but otherwise it was delicious. Service was fast and the atmosphere, while basic, was comfortable. read more

It was okay, got the Italian. Bread wasn't the best, which is what separates a good sub shop from average to me. This was average. Seemed like a decent local subs place. Had that ny feel, and so did the patrons. Host was friendly. read more

I hate to do it but I have to knock these guys down a notch. This will be my one and only with them and believe me I do not like giving 1-2 stars however observations from today must go on all the time. A 2 to me is below average and this was. Inside decor I really could care less about for a "deli" so the mafia posters, old tv, dusty wall near the Coke machine and pink tables did not deduct a point. When I entered there was one customer the owner was bantering with (the only customer) After a few minutes of not being acknowledged I finally realized where a menu was which was taped to the counter. I ordered a pressed Italian steamroller. Got my money out and he never said another word. Never took my money. Never told me to take a seat. Guessing they would start my sub and get the money I decided I guess you pay after and sat down. A few more minutes went by and a nice lady ( believe the owners wife ) provided me said sub. If the sub did not have the oil lettuce banana peppers etc it would have been so dried out that you would not have been able to bite through the bread. Luckily the large amount of oil rehydrated half of the crouton I was biting into. Since there was never mention or offer of a drink you can imagine it was not an enjoyable experience. They purchase boars head brand meats like most local delis bread was not good for a press it should have been wrapped in foil to keep hydrated absolutely nothing special about this sub that one could not make in their own oven much better. While half way through I was about to get up and nine fireman (thank you for your service) came in. So now I have to wait for these guys to order before I can pay. It's not like I wanted to start a tab and possibly order another sub. This is beyond aggravating. Then as I am waiting to pay the owner shouts to the lady what did this guy get so he knows how much to charge me? You took my order. Ring me up right then. Or ask me what I ordered. Trust me I am not trying to sneak one by the local sub shop. A few other observations. A couple came in after me one ordered a tuna sub. She was asked if she could wait or order something different as they did not make the tuna yet. Glad to see they make their own but it is 11:55 and you service a lunch crowd. Of the nine fireman they ordered 4 Cubans and 5 steamrollers. Took the owner a few extra minutes to figure that out before I was allowed to finally get up and pay. They seem to have a following. Seem to get a lot of call aheads. So I am not trying to shut the place down I just did it enjoy one bit of my experience perhaps someone else will have a different one but I am not willing to try a second shot. read more

Frankie's Deli - Spicy Italian pressed. Average. - Delis Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Food was fine but 2 sandwiches ran us $16+ with no sides or drinks. Inside is straight of the the 80's and super tacky. *Both ladies there rude and made us feel like a burden between the attitude and no attention given to anyone except their regulars whom she screeched at for the duration of our meal. Cussing away and talking to the owner on FaceTime ABOUT SHITTING HIS PANTS WHILST WERE EATING. Really? ***THEY WERE NOT FOLLOWING CORONAVIRUS GUIDELINES. We asked them to wipe the table down we sat at which never happened and they put our sandwiches on the hot press with no gloves without washing their hands*** As a food service manager it was gross and I'd never run a store like that. Hope the owner sees this post. We were excited to have a deli around the corner from our new home but we'll never return unfortunately. read more

Well we ordered for the 1st time on line and I had pulled up the menu (and yes it was YELLOW) and went by the menu on line and the prices! According to the menu, the sandwiches I ordered were $6.29 each and with tax they were $6.73 each! When we went to pick them up, the person (owner) said we had an OLD menu and they were $7.99 each...... I called and advised her of the menu I read and she was downright rude and didn't really care if I was right or wrong! So we will be sure to NEVER order from here again and I plan on spreading the word about how rude the owner is and doesn't care what the customer says!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Frankies has good soups and sandwiches. The prices are decent. Nothing really jumps out at me as being particularly memorable. I will say that the service was slow. I showed up when the place was empty and it still took 10 minutes to get two sandwiches and a cup of soup. read more

Used to be great but now terrible & owner is rude & defensive if you let her know of problem. Cuban used to be great but now there is no cheese & bread is so hard, you can't bite into it at all.. Even if you save half the sandwich to prove no cheese, she claims it is not possible to tell(?) The owners used to be wonderful but now rude. Told her nicely that I did not want refund or another sandwich & just thought she would want to know but she hung up on me. I was a regular customer but now will never go back! read more

Everything made to order, bread is always fresh, and fantastic lunch meats. Love the roast beef on a toasted roll. Small sandwich shop, decent amount of seating, they also deliver. Lunch is always entertaining here! :) read more

Frankie's Deli - Delis Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Had my mouth set for a corned beef on rye. Found Frankie's on line and checked their menu. When I got there, the prices had increased as the menu on line was an "old" one I was told. The corned beef is nothing but the standard Boar's Head deli meat that you can buy in any grocery store...nothing special. Disappointing product as well as a high price. Not worth the visit. read more

The sandwiches from here are delicious. Boars head makes so much of a difference!! I've ordered from other local places for lunch but this place takes the cake! Great specials, free delivery, mom & pop owed! They have my business! Yummy!!!!!! read more

Frankie's Deli - Half of the sanfriscan I murdered the other half, delicious!! - Delis Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Small NY/Italian-style Deli with a mix of traditional cold and hot subs and sandwiches and a few original combinations. I got the corned beef pressed. Nice crispy, and still soft bread, and good corned beef (though I would've liked more). Not necessarily cheap, but fair. Pretty simple interior, fine for a quick bite, but not a first date, heads up. I'll come back when I'm in the area and craving some deli meats. read more

First time here. It was close to work. Went with my mom and my aunt. We loved it very much. Definitely recommend this place. We will be back for more sandwiches. So good. read more

for the best commentary on current politics and scandals in the US, please visit frankie today and mention algae... Also , the food is great!! Best pressed Cuban in the area!!!!! we go there every time we are in florida. We are made to feel like the local crowd and we chime in on the current convo of the day , whatever it might be!! What a fun place read more

Excellent food and a really cool environment. Frank and Tracy are great people and the food is always perfect

Had the steak and cheese and asked for extra cheese and got none! Also the sub was awful! From meat to veggies. Won't be returning. Tea taste awful too. read more

They were wirking in their to go orders, took forever to get to ours. Pressed Italian bread was warm, insides cold. Mefiocre at best.

I love to go to small family owned places for food because the quality and the customer service is usually phenomenal but that was not the case here. When I walked in the older gentleman was talking with another man who was sitting at the table. I walk up to the counter to ask about specials or popular items because this was my first time. He continued to just chat with the other man as I'm clearly looking at him waiting for him to finish. He made eye contact with me and continued to talk. Finally when he was finished he took my order and immediately went back to chatting with the other gentleman. I wanted to ask if he took card or cash only and I tried to ask multiple times but he ignored me-I was not even two feet from his face and he just ignored me. I stood at the counter for maybe 4 minutes and even tried to ask his wife but she just went about her business in the back. After about 10 minutes I got my sandwich and when I went up to pay I saw these two signs on the register. I get the humor but it doesn't make me feel welcome in an establishment when I see "different day same shitty attitude" and "nope not today" it makes me feel like I'm bothering you with my business. Well don't worry Frankie's Deli, I won't bother you anymore. read more

First time here. Really enjoyed meeting Frankie and Tracy. Everyone's correct in saying that the CUBAN is delicious. It's all about the bread and the press. Glad to have stopped here. read more

I love this place, the subs are huge! Sometimes I have to eat the other half the next day. Everything always taste fresh and the owners are entertaining, I wouldn't recommend weak politically correct morons to visit here. If you want a fresh, great tasting lunch, go see Frankie and Tracy! I have been coming here for years and they have never let me down. read more

A Co-Worker recommended Frankie's Chef Salad for Lunch and I am so glad. It is GREAT!. The meat is thin sliced so you get the essence throughout the salad. It even comes with carrot slices and celery slices, black olives and pepperoncini (sp). Their luncheon specials which are faxed to our office daily, come with chip and drink of your choice. AND they deliver! ! ! A great idea for the "captive audience". read more

Delicious! We just moved to the area and stumbled upon Frankie's in the middle of moving day. We were starving and their killer sandwiches hit the spot. My boyfriend had the Italian Steamroller and I had the San Franciscan, both hot off the press. Really. So good! read more

Wife & I just moved here. Being a northerner with roots in Pittsburgh, I can be a deli snob. This place is great. The owners are fun and engaging folks. The menu had a good mix of traditional deli items as well as some adventurous takes on classics. I tried the chicken cordon bleu and my wife had the italian sub. We were both impressed. The bread really stood out as well as the fresh ingredients. $8 gets you a lot of sandwich btw. The potato salad is also really good. I think we will become regulars here. read more

They have the best cuban sandwich. I always get them. The owners frank and Tracy are totally awesome.

Having a pressed hoagie..lots of to go orders. Made fresh.if you are in a hurry go elsewhere..food is good.cards are taken but you must charge $8 or more 12 inch sandwich chips and drink is 8 50 plus tax read more

Frankie's Deli, has great soups and sandwiches. The owners are friendly. They have been there for about 20 years and they just started taking credit cards. Sorry no Amex. I have been working on trying all the sandwiches, so far none for them I dislike. Do like the fresh tuna melt. Come try them for yourself. read more

Simple diner type place. Clean. Friendly staff. I had the hot pressed Cuban and my wife had turkey on a pressed Kaiser roll. Both good. Will definitely return. Big menu. Lots of choices. read more

I live in Mass. It's tough to find good food here. I went to Frankie's!!! This place is amazing!!! The staff made me feel like I was home and the food was awesome!! I would absolutely return!! read more

Had the pressed Italian steamroller. Awesome food and the owner Frank is great entertainment!

Love, love, love this place. We have had sandwiches from Frankie's for many, many years now. Highly recommend. Hot pressed wrapped sandwiches are the bomb! Try it today. They deliver locally, I believe. read more
