Fantastic meatloaf dinner!
Denise A.

Wow. So disappointing eating in. We arrived and the place was empty, save for 1 individual and one other party. We waited at least 5 mins before being greeted and seated, even though others noticed and ignored. Soup or salad to accompany meal. Both ok but no crackers with soup. Waitress super nice, but really not attentive. Never brought ice water as requested 2 times, in spite only 1 other party at time of arrival. Waitress did bring way ahead of time to go containers, but never checked in to see if all was good or drink refills needed. Meatloaf was bland and textureless and just eh. The onions were not listed on menu and they were really not a hit; slices too large and had a weird taste. Not at all appetizing or elevating to dish. Sides veggies not good-spinach had bits of crunchy and inedible brown bits throughout. Had wanted to order a home made rice pudding to go, but waitress just flurried by stating, "check." Probably for the best. I will not be visiting again.

Parking: huge lot Decor: typical diner, very clean with a sun room Food: large portions, well cooked and well presented Service: very friendly though a little slow...was one of maybe 10ppl in the place and had to get up and get my own menu. Overall: average diner with good food.

Hungarian Beef Goulash special. Huge portion!

Nothing like finding a good old fashioned diner to fill your belly. After a family gathering a bunch of us decided to hit a diner for dinner. We pulled into Frankie's as it was open while the other diner close by was closed for the holiday. Glad we did because we had a terrific meal here. The place itself has that warm cozy old diner look to it. Probably needs to be updated but that is part of the charm with these diners that dot the NY/CT/NJ landscape. Service was very friendly and attentive. Huge diner menu full of choices. Tasty hot coffee. Huge portions at such a cheap price! Most everything on the menu seems to be under $10. Even the daily specials that included soup or salad was under ten bucks. It was cold out last night and was snowing a bit. Perfect weather for some Hungarian Beef Goulash and Beef Barley Soup special. The soup was good, and the hearty portion of goulash they give you here is off the scale. Half our group ened up doggie bagging it. Not me! I wolfed that plate down - pronto. Delish! Had a food baby in my belly. Then went into a total food coma on the train back home to NYC. They even have a coffee loyalty card here, and are open 24/7. Also, the bread they placed on the table in the baskets were like soft warm fluffy pieces of crack that resembled mini hot dog rolls! I ate a basket by myself!

Another great diner that Bridgeport has to offer. Service that makes you feel like a regular costumer, even though I walked in for the first time. I did not had pastrami for a while and went for the sandwich... Great choice!

Outside has plenty of tables that wrap from the front of the shop around this side. This is high-level, social media friendly decor. Service was good overall. Coffee service was very quick. But breakfast sandwich orders were going to take 45 minutes. Raise eyebrows for sure. Looking back they set the bar low. It maybe took 20 minutes. But know that on a gorgeous summer morning, it might take a minute to get your breakfast sandwiches. The food was very good. The BEACH sandwich was tasty and filling. The iced coffee was very good as well. The fresh baked goods looked amazing. Overall, Harborview Market is highly recommended. It's a place that looks like you want to love it - if that makes sense. But it is a great spot. Off hours might be the smart approach as this place (rightfully) gets packed.

Parking is street parking only, so be prepared for that. The biggest downside was the service timing. We felt a bit rushed to place our order, but then waited about 45 minutes for the food to arrive. When it finally came out, the food was cold. The flavors were actually really good, and you could tell the food had potential, but it definitely would have been much better served warm. Overall, it's a cute place with a nice vibe, but the long wait and cold food made the experience a little disappointing.

Mine was not cut, not sure why but super tasty with tender duck meat! I also tried the pork belly bao buns: pork belly, picked onions and chimichurri and avocado. These were outstanding, with a nice crunch, a zippity do da from the picked onions and chimichurri, which was balanced by the smooth, silky avocado. Filling! And a cucumber lemonade to accompany.

Firstly, I have no idea who the Parkers are - let alone where they live, but whoever/wherever they are big fist bump on their rolls. What makes them so good? Butter. Just a little butter to crisp up the roll elevates these breakfast sandwiches. 5-start effort. The ok- service was friendly and helpful but took longer than I thought - especially based on the customer volume. Looked like a lot of hands in the kitchen but not super efficient back there. It wasn't a long wait- just a bit longer than I thought it should be for two breakfast sammies. It's a small spot. Clean, bright, some flavor. It was too nice out to eat inside. The yellow jackets thought so too. I had a few bites and left b/c I didn't want to deal with them. Overall, I'll be back. Fantastic breakfast sandwiches and looking forward to trying more things. I hadn't been to Black Rock in decades - love to see so many interesting looking spots open.

They provide a table hook to hang purses and wristlets from the side of the table - that is quite the treat! First time customers are given samples of their fountain beverages and we were also given a sample pineapple mocktail. The complimentary salsa was thick with a really nice spicy flavor. The sweet potato pancakes were warm & fluffy with just the right amount of cinnamon and the Vegan Brunch was substantial, coming with two sides of vegan sausage and bacon. The tofu eggs were scrambled with a tasty creamy spice. The owner is very personable and pleasant, speaking with us about our vegan journey. Such a wonderful Sunday brunch!

The only reason I would remove a star is the service. The restaurant wasn't very busy (just one or two other tables) but our appetizers came out at the same time as our main dishes, and we had to go up to the counter to ask for a water refill. On a positive note, the owner came out to introduce herself, and she was absolutely lovely. She shared a bit about how she and her husband started the restaurant, which gave the place a really warm, personal touch. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the food, but I hope the hostess and waitstaff can be a bit more attentive in the future. The menu is also extensive and has a lot of options!

Thelma's food has always been a HIT! Why the 3 stars is crazy to me. I had my Birthday party there,…read moreand everyone who attended continued to rave about the delicious food. I have also attended other events or just stopped in for a bite to eat. The wings are Fabulous! The fries with the jerk chicken..man o' man.. makes you come back for more. The flavor/seasoning of the food is top notch. The rasta pasta with salmon is Delicious. The fried fish, mac n cheese, greens and yams are soooo Good! I have never been disappointed. And the servers are Phenomenal. They greeted me when I came in. Were very attentive throughout my visit. The prices are competitive, so no need to complain about that. I almost forgot to mention the fun you can have there with the Karaoke. The DJ I wish I remembered his name.. All I know is that he represented on a Friday night! It was Epic. So, just go and enjoy the ambiance. Go and enjoy the food. How could I have forgotton to mention the restaurant owners Lady. She is Phenomenal. I love her professionalism, and attentiveness.
