    Nice & clean inside, friendly counter people, fast service & food. Classic hot dog joint - I had a dog with cheese and curly fries to go. They were both super tasty. I will be back when I'm craving a hotdog again for sure.

    Old school fast serve place for burgers, dogs and fried food. Part of a dying breed that used to dot Connecticut. Good grilled foods served up, no frills and inexpensive.

    Cheese sauce , great size. Sort of spicy.

    The food was great! Highly recommend the quarter pound cheeseburger. Onion rings aren't the best and the cheese sauce was a semi spicy version. Cheeseburger was so great ! I got Mayo, raw onion, lettuce and tomato with American cheese. Small spot, shack like. Nice enough service.

    5/27/22 Chili cheese dog Spicy nacho cheese sauce, Italian sausage burger with fried Peppers. No provolone? What's with that?

    5/27/22 My first visit to a Frankie's, a small, local outlet of several in the state by the name Frankie's. The menu is pretty extensive, and offers the typical drive in fare of dogs, burgers, seafood and salads. I decided to try one of their foot long chili cheese dogs with spicy nacho cheese sauce, and an Italian sausage burger with fried peppers on a Portuguese roll, and a pink lemonade from the fountain. The only odd thing to me was that they don't offer provolone cheese to go on their Italian sausage burgers, only American or spicy nacho cheese sauce. What's up with that? Both were more than acceptable, but nothing to make them stand out amongst all the other nearby drive in dining options. Service was quick and friendly, and the tables were all very clean, so no issues on that front. Try Frankie's, and see for yourself.

    Wow, what a great little hole in the wall. Did a show at the nearby concert hall and my tourmate…read moreand I were hungry but it was after midnight and options were pretty slim. But we found this place and wow... The ambience is great. It has the feel of a place that's been there forever but has only been there 11 years or so. The decor was very retro and homey. The woman (the owner's mother) working was quite friendly. Now the food. The sides are all homemade and the potato salad and brownie were tasty. Bonus points for having Vernor's ginger ale, hard to find outside of the Detroit area. And the burgers--- wow. DO NOT-- I repeat-- DO NOT order the double unless you haven't eaten in a week. I got the double cheeseburger loaded and OMG... I finished maybe 3/4 of it and hadn't eaten since breakfast and had been working hard all day. But it was delicious. Never had a steamed burger before and was skeptical, but no longer. I am now a fan. And so should you if you're ever in the Wallingford CT area.

There is no AC that I could tell, and had a TV playing baseball. The waitress cooked my food to order, which was the most epic cheese I have ever had! There was more cheese then meat, and it was so good! They also sold brownies, crochet, coke beverages, and chips. The ketchup was at both of the two tables. The bathroom looked a little added on, but did work. Definitely recommend though for the cheese awesomeness.

    Absolutely love this place. The service is always top notch,…read moreas are the food and drinks. It's a cozy restaurant with a lot of warmth. Our server was knowledgeable of gluten free options on the menu, which was great. They start every table with potato chips and a yummy aioli, truly addicting! For food, the filet mignon was perfection. A previous time I came, they had shrimp and scallops in a saffron cream with wild rice and market vegetables and it was DIVINE! The menu does change so that dish wasn't listed this recent time that we went. It would be amazing if they brought it back as a permanent dish!!! For drinks, I loved by Buzzin in Bikini Bottom cocktail! It is my favorite! My fiancé liked the Negroni and Julep as well, but loved my drink above those. I'd definitely recommend going to Six One Nine for a date night or dinner outing!

She let me have a say in where I sat which is always an awesome thing, if possible . Their menu is small but mighty. Mostly speaking on behalf of their starters, salads, drinks and their dessert. It's diverse but lovely and creative. I waited just a bit before being greeted by my server who apologized for the slight wait. We put an order of affogato and tap water stat. It was a little loud for nothing being completely full but it wasn't distracting or uncomfortable. Affogato was incredible, Brussels 619 was good a bit dry and maybe missing a hint of something. The mussels had a dominating flavor of cumin and the meatballs were in a creamy reddish Marsala tasting sauce . The meatballs fell apart, and were unstab-able with my fork. I loved the colony mule, it was so tasty and I'd def get it again. Overall fun experience here at 619 supper club.

I've been sitting on this review because I lowkey don't want people to overdo it and ruin the vibe--but my Instagram stays in the know since I've posted them plenty of times already. They're just that good. It's a nice, quaint spot with real heart, plus they've got a food truck they take out and about, and they cater too. Straight out of South Carolina, bringing authentic Southern BBQ, lowcountry blends, and somehow mixing it perfectly with that New England swagger. I became a regular fast. Any chance I get, I'm bringing new people here....and I'm not stopping anytime soon, which should tell you everything. They've got some crazy staples too: $10 classic burger with fries on Tuesdays, $1 smoked wing Wednesdays... Yeah, you read that right. And that's just off the top of my head. They also run daily specials that rotate, so either keep an eye on their IG or just pull up and see what they've got cooking that day. I could honestly keep going?I've tried a lot of the menu--but don't sleep on the breakfast sandwiches (coffee's included). And if you're an Arizona fan, they've got variety. Long story short: if you haven't been yet, you're missing out!

    "Imitator, intimidator, stimulator Simulator, eliminator"…read more(Eminem) If ten state of the art golf simulators are your stimulators, you'll love a visit to Back 9 Social. And your visit will not be handicapped by a lack of gastropub like food and drink. Their golf simulators are very impressive and combine radar and camera technology to faithfully recreate some of the best courses in the world, including St Andrews, Pebble Beach, and 120+ others. A professional organization I belong to held a gathering there last night and had a great time. We ordered and paid for our drinks through their big bar through a QR code, but you can still pay the old-fashioned way with cash if you prefer. We had plenty of their pizzas which were quite yummy. Our golfers had a blast and I should point out that although some of the other customers I saw actually brought their own set of clubs, Back 9 can hook you up with their clubs for men, women, lefties, righties, and kids. And of course, plenty of tees and balls to whack into their high-definition screens. The facility is gorgeous, the golf simulators were amazing, the staff was helpful and friendly, and it was a very enjoyable experience.

    This place is a lot of fun, and we genuinely enjoy coming here, but our experience with management…read moreon multiple occasions has really put a damper on the whole establishment. We completely understand that the facility has every right to monitor alcohol consumption and prevent inappropriate behavior. Nobody wants people getting sloppy or disruptive, and we respect that. However, there's a much more professional and respectful way to handle it than what is done. We are unsure of her name, but the female manager present made us uncomfortable as she was constantly staring at our group throughout the evening instead of simply communicating expectations directly. The alcohol restrictions are also entirely ridiculous- I specifically was told by the bartender that I was being watched for alcohol consumption after having 2 Coronas in a time span of 1 hour and 45 minutes. The restriction on alcohol itself is not the main issue -- it's the way it is handled. We have felt watched and punished despite the fact that nobody in our group was loud, inappropriate, or intoxicated on multiple occasions. I also want to note that the bartenders have been spectacular and are always very nice. This is specially about the manager and the way she acts towards paying customers. When you're spending over $200 on the simulator alone, a little courtesy and respectful communication would go a long way. We really do like this place, but experiences like this make us hesitant to come back.
