First lemme say I've been coming here since the mid 70's This diner used to be the PLACE to go for really good diner food.. Man who sat me was professional and friendly, nice greeting.. So I wanted to order a wrap that used to be on the menu, but has since been removed, luckily it's not anything fancy and they have all the ingredients. Now I drive like 35 minutes to come here because this sandwich they make is delicious. Nobody makes it better than them and it's worth the drive. So I go to order the item is not on the menu. I asked the young man if they could make it and he says yes to ask which is fine and they disappears like 20 minutes then he reappears to let me know it's not on the menu anymore. I know that's how this conversation started so he says yeah the kitchen will make it. So now another 20 minutes goes by. I'm waiting for my food and my coffee forever. I get the item it's not made like it used to be made. It doesn't taste like it used to taste. I maybe half of it. My stomach is killing me. It's really greasy you are. The guy behind me. Had a simple order of an omelette with a couple of vegetables in it they totally screwed that up and he was complaining. So the good news is that I had this sandwich from this place was great. The other good news is I'll be saving a lot of money and gas not having to come back. read more

I came here w/ an appetite & I was ready to slay! Our server was friendly & took care of us! She was on point w/ the water refills & kept checking on our table(my bf & me)! I was thirsty like a camel! I ordered eggs over medium w/ fries,bacon,& sausage both well done. Toast came w/ the order. My food didn't take too long to come out. Everything was scrumptious & cooked to perfection! No complaints here! The place was packed of course b/c it's the neighborhood spot. It's comfortable,cozy & smells like good decisions! This isn't my 1st time rodeo & it won't be my last! Frankie's is a staple in Bridgeport! Iykyk! If you don't you must live under a rock! read more

Frankie's Diner - Diners Near Me - Bridgeport, Connecticut

Very disappointed in our recent trip to Frankie's, I've been going here for a long time. I hadn't been there in a year or two but it failed terribly on this day. Came in for breakfast with my wife, service from our waiter was very good, food fell short. I got a bacon egg and cheese and some home fries. My wife went for an omelet and home fries as well which we asked to be extra crispy. My roll didn't taste very fresh so I had to shovel down my sandwich, could've used some more bacon in my opinion as well. The omelet was good but both of our home fries which is a breakfast staple stunk. The potatoes lacked flavor and were burnt and mushy. Unfortunately there are many better breakfast spots in the area. read more

As others have said, Frankie's isnt what it used to be. Back in the 80's to mid 90's, I would visit with family and friends at least several times a year. Portions were always big and food was tasty and fresh. I went for a recent dinner about a month ago. I had a patty melt which is a diner staple as most people know. It was much smaller than I remembered, and the waffle fries seemed sad and likely frozen, Proces were high for what you get. I think I'll stick to Duchess or Blue Sky Diner next time that I'm in the area. read more

Everything was delicious as usual Frankie's is my go to place the best wings in town, vegetables were fresh potatoes were delicious and after it was all said and done the delicious espresso martini hit the spot. It's very good and the price wasn't that expensive for my entire dinner. It was good. I had the whole bar looking at what I was drinking, they want to find out what it was so they can order it so you should go. It's pretty good. read more

1/31/26 Service, not good. Food, not good. Frankies Diner, used to be good. I used to take my wife there all the time. 20 years ago, longer than that. Frankies WAS one of the best eating places in town. Unfortunately, my wife and I will never eat there again! The waitress was walking with a wool hat on her head and taking frequent outside vaping breaks. Very unprofessional ..... read more

The reviews doesn't do it justice. Just your everyday diner that's open 24/7 and the food is served fast, warm, and with a smile. I enjoyed the mass seating for our group for breakfast, rounds of coffee every 5 minutes, and just a pleasant experience. I recommend it, as a visitor from out of town. read more

I should've ordered the pancakes like I originally had planned My first time trying this place just now and I got chili cheese dogs. I love a good chili dog so I had some hope for this place but I didn't like it. The flavors in the chili was bland, the french fries unseasoned, and the hot dog was too thick (said no one ever.... No really lol it was too big for me) Wouldn't care to eat here again. read more

Loyal customer for many years but our last visit was disheartening! Ordered corn beef sandwich and steak and cheese and the size of the sandwiches and portions have been reduced significantly. Also be aware some Prices on menu don't match final bill !!! Very disappointing !!!! read more

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. read more

They are prejudice and will not be returning with them again. hhMy friend and I decided to go to Whiting Diner in Bridgeport, CT . They accept all walks of life and they are welcoming. read more

I'm not sure what had happened but this place has tremendously gone down. I used to eat here whenever I would come in town. We don't even feel safe anymore maybe I should say we don't feel welcomed. read more

In town on business and looking for breakfast. Of course you can't eat in at most places so Door Dash had to do. Placed my order of ham and cheese omelet, home fries, a side of grits, and a large coffee. Food arrived fast and hot. The omelet was large and filled with ham and cheese. The grits were cooked properly, which a lot of places can't manage. Home fries were not mushy and had just a little onion mixed in. For to go coffee it was way better then the swill (Starbucks) that the hotel I'm at serves. Can't wait for this covid crap to be under control so I can actually sit in this diner and enjoy a meal. Highly recommend ordering from here. read more

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! read more

Frankie's Diner - Hungarian Beef Goulash special. Huge portion! - Diners Near Me - Bridgeport, Connecticut

So sad! Tonight we tried Frankie's once again, because the last time was a big disappointment, with food and service being subpar. We were seated in a booth, and the server told us she'd be "right back." We sat there for 10 minutes, no water, no utensils, nothing. There were about 5 other booths with customers. One server. We heard the manager ask "do you need more help?" To which she replied, "no!" After hearing that exchange, we left. Customer service was not important to the server. We will never go back. read more

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! read more

Fast and great food! I love that they're 24/7, rain or snow. I always order out since I'm always on the go. The staff are super friendly though and the place is super cozy. My son's favorite is the cheeseburger deluxe, the fries never gets soggy, and I love their salad (big portion and delicious). This is my go to place! So far the best diner in town. read more

Frankie's Diner - Burned home fries - Diners Near Me - Bridgeport, Connecticut

This place is the worst! They are extremely careless with their takeout orders. The first time I ordered breakfast my sausage was missing. The second time I ordered breakfast my omelette had cheese on it after I specifically requested no cheese. I'm extremely lactose intolerant so I ended up wasting $16. Don't bother ordering from this place. There are better diners in Fairfield county. read more

I've had other meals from Frankies diner before and never had an issue ... but I ordered garlic bread and never again will I order garlic bread. If you want a hotdog bun with garlic powder and American cheese go for it but that's not how I like my garlic bread. read more

Best omelette and food always fresh!! I just feels like good home cooking! Always come here for breakfast when in town!

Great food order through dash pass and food was hot and well prepared will order again

We were sat next to the kitchen entrance and before I knew it there were fruit flies everywhere. One flying around, a bunch more just chilling on the wall, I had to move booths. Then the waitress came over and said hello, but then just stood there staring at us. She didnt prompt us on anything. So I was feeling awkward already so I just said water and my fiance followed suit. He didnt even notice. What's up with places when you ask for extra crispy bacon and they dont give it. Like, for real? Lol The syrup is fake. Like dollar tree bad fake. Unfortunately the French toast has a weird taste to it and its unnecessarily mushy? Could be an off day for them but I ate it cause I'll be late to work xD Okay so I'm pretty sure they put margarine on the toast when they bring it out and then give you butter packets. I'm not sure what the point of that is? Anyway this place deserves 3 stars. Check it out if you want and make your own decisions. I've heard it's a go to place so ‍ read more

Definitely a very friendly dinner the people there are always friendly it's a bit pricey but they definitely gives you your money's worth lots of food and it's pretty decent no complaints read more

They were open, but just barely. 10:30pm, doors locked, takeout window with a partially-obscured menu in the window and instructions to call your order in, but no phone number posted. The person taking the order seemed unfamiliar with the menu, did not understand what a cheesesteak was, and could not do a large house salad, even though both were menu items. My pastrami sandwich was dry and extremely salty, although the small salad was OK. They advertise 24hrs, but I would look for any other option. read more

Been eating here since I was a lIttle girl with family,friends ,etc great staff friendly polite service.

A truly great old fashion diner. The menu has something for everyone. I had the Gyro. It was great, full of meat, and so were the fries. The soups are all home made and great. My wife had the chicken orzo which was full of chicken. Staff is tipical diner, if you expect something else go somewhere else. The service is very good. We will definitely be back. read more

Service is great. Food is amazing. Refreshments are always refilled. And, the best cheesecake ever. Have recommended the place to many friends and family. everybody loved it. Best homestyle American diner I've ever been to. read more

I called to place an order here a few months back for a burger and a steak and was told, "we don't take orders over the phone for steak" uhhh, what? I replied that I was on a time restraint and couldn't wait for it to be cooked once I got there. I even offered to pay for it over the phone in case that was the issue. Same robotic response, "we don't take orders for steak over the phone" You also don't have a customer anymore, click! read more

I like going to Frankie's because it's like a going to the local grocery store. I always run into old friends. There food is pretty good and service is pretty good most of the time. Seems like the service declines a little around dinner time. The prices are fair and portions are good. I love there coleslaw and there curly fries. read more

I grew up going to Frankies Diner with my family & have lived in Las Vegas for the past 17 years......but my 1st stop when I get back to Bridgeport is Frankies Diner!!!!!!!!!!!

You won't be disappointed!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Fix you description. Your Yelp says you deliver up to 5:30 am, no restrictions. I call for a delivery an hour before closing at the hospital a few blocks away, I get told no Do what you say, say what yo mean. Updated your description and be more specific. Would it really have hurt to send an order a few blocks over when your still open? I would have paid any minimum. You stink. read more

I had eggs toast home fries and a pancake. All were good. Typical diner fare for breakfast. Not in the best neighborhood but it's ok during the day.

I hope Frankie's treats here good. read more
