The donuts are delicious!!!! This was the FIRST time my husband and I tried a Paczki donut that was recommended by our Uber driver and he even stopped us here on the way to the train station and it was sooooooo good! I am not lying when I say that this was the BEST cup of coffee we have ever had! We are all the way from Texas!! If you are in the area, definitely stop in!

Yelp. Went to Frankie's, y'all done sold all the donuts and opened 25/8? Well, that's what the sign says, but where are the donuts. Its 3:00 pm! Regular glaze? Out. Chocolate? Out. Well, I will take the bow tie and a red velvet cake donut. Now, this bow tie thang is moist and good. Cake donut is okay. You are delicious. Lady at the checkout, you could smile, since y'all out of stuff! I think a smile would make me at least feel better. We came back! Now, I see you neutral to the locals too. Cause, I sense attitude from this lady in the back. Girl, I'm from out of town, learn to give every customer love cause these donuts are mediocre. Y'all already know, Imma leave it.

Some great donuts! I went around 11pm and was surprised to see they had a ton of fresh donuts available. The donuts themselves were delicious too. I ordered a chocolate glazed and a peanut. Very good donuts.

Hey Frankie...what's the secret ingredient?! These donuts really hit the spot. When planning our trip to Niagara Falls, Frankie's made it to the top of our list with it's impressive menu of sweet doughs. Our first trip (yes there were two), we got an assorted box of 6...I think my boyfriend and I could agree we liked all of them besides one. Not too bad of a ratio, right?! There was no way we were leaving town without bringing a box home, so we got a dozen...they were that good. Didn't hurt that the establishment has a "buy 2, get 1" donut deal that seems to be offered daily. Additionally I tried the BEC on a roll...I'm more of a savory gal in the AM. I don't know if they make the rolls in-house or what, but it was amazing! And so was the sandwich, as a whole. Now for the store front: you walk in and it just has that small town vibe. Quite small, but also semi-blocked off for covid safety. 2pm Regulars chatting it up over coffee. It's what you'd hope to expect from a shop that's open "25/8."

Looks like a place out of the movies of a local joint because that's what it is, a local joint. The service was a bit slow, they were not very busy. The pizza was stunning and the donuts are mostly cake style which is my favorite, top shelf.

The cream filled and covered in coconut was my favorite. Cream was light and so was the donut. The toasted coconut covering it was the perfect touch. Boston cream was also good. Perfect place for homemade style donuts.

To be honest I went here because Paula's Donuts was closed Early. Well i started googling best donuts in the Buffalo area i found frankie's it had a good rating so i went there the area was sketchy but ill tell you they got the best Donuts that every had in Upstate NY. It was a bit unorganized but once was i tasted that donut All the ill feelings had about this place went away. I would definitely recommend this place for nice fresh donuts of different assortments.

Red velvet !

Love that they are open 24/7 (25/8)! Great coffee and a huge selection of doughnuts. Went with red velvet today and a giant coffee. Piping hot, the way that I wanted it to,and incredibly fast service. Pizza is my weakness, so I also love that I can get a slice at any hour of the day. Yes, pizza for breakfast is ok too! Have to try the breakfast sandwhiches. They have your traditional styles but they serve them on kaiser rolls!

Absolutely the best donuts I've ever had. Small quaint place. Breakfast sandwich and the bagels were very good. The coffee was great too. I wish I had one of these back home.

Cool place. We only got donuts, which were good and came in a unique variety of flavors. I dug the old video game machines they had inside.

I would take Frankies over a Tim Hortons donut any day. I just wish they would upgrade their facility a bit.

While staying in the area I looked at reviews for something decent and came across this place -…read moreGetting there around noon on a weekday, they were rather busy, so I sat at the bar and within a few minutes it was completely packed at the bar. Service from the bartender was great. He offered up some suggestions, which I needed because they have a large menu loaded with so many appetizing and amazing looking options. I started with their potstickers... They came out with a hard, fried shell and the dipping sauce went nicely with them. Enough to share, or even enough to enjoy and still have room for an entrée. My main dish was their Chicken & Waffle. This isn't some ordinary chicken and waffle, it's definitely an amped up version, made with unique and interesting ingredients, culminating in great flavors! The chicken was so large and very tender - it was amazing! The bacon and sauce on top went with it nicely, and the chive waffle was great with it! Each bite was definitely amazing! This was a great experience, I can see why they have so many reviews and such high stars, those are well-deserved stars!! Definitely recommend stopping in here!

Service Food…read more Ambiance I had a lovely first-time dining experience at an American restaurant near Niagara Falls on a quiet Monday morning. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, which made it even more enjoyable. I ordered fried calamari along with single chicken wings tossed in an Asian sweet and spicy sauce--both dishes were flavorful and satisfying. The combination of crispy textures and bold flavors really stood out. What made the experience even better was the service. Our server was amazing--attentive, friendly, and truly great at her job. She made us feel welcome from the start. I always enjoy trying new places, and this visit did not disappoint. If you're looking for an American restaurant near Niagara Falls, this is definitely worth trying. We ended the meal with a delicious dessert,which was the perfect sweet finish to a great experience.
