    Cheesecake
    Nathan H.

    Quaint diner w/ friendly service. I was a little disappointed in the chicken & shrimp scampi over linguini and the chicken in the soup wasn't great, but I did have a late lunch so I wasn't as hungry. The cheesecake was perfect -- very tasty!

    Chicken quesadilla
    Noor D.

    Great dinner in the Franklin park/Kendall park area. Nice cozy and traditional setting inside. Good place to get some work done. Good was impressive compared to other dinners. The chicken quesadilla was delicious and very filling. They give you good portion sizes for what you order.

    Chicken Wrap
    Patricia F.

    I went back to Franklin Park Diner today and got my usual (and absolutely scrumptious) Disco Fries with a twist - extra cheese, which was absolutely to die for! I also decided to try another one of the delicious desserts behind the glass display case -- this time, I opted for a generous slice of their coconut pie. Let me tell you, it was creamy, thick, sumptuous and absolutely did not disappoint in any way! I can't wait to try more desserts!

    Western Omelette Ham or Bacon or Sausage Omelette
    Kate K.

    THE BEST DINER!!! I absolutely love their western omelette. Their sausage side is probably the best sausage i've had at a diner. Their pricing is great as well. Their service is phenomenal and welcoming it. At first this dinner doesn't seem like much by looks and appearance, but inside it's a perfect little diner.

    Roast beef entree

    Always a great diner in the area. As with any diner, there are a lot of hidden gems. The pasta dishes always come as a huge portion. The penne vodka could easily be split into 4 portions.

    Buffalo chicken hoagie

    That was absolutely terrible, calling it prison food would do a disservice to prison food. Had a Buffalo hoagie which came with 4 fake chicken tenders, a smear of buffalo sauce and borderline rotten lettuce. I paid 16 dollars for this sandwich which isn't even worth 25 cents. I don't know how anyone can serve this and not be embarrassed. I literally have to order a second dinner because it was inedible. Partner ordered a California panini which was thrown out after three bites. Stay far away, if they can't make two sandwiches right I doubt they can do anything right.

    Breakfast was delicious, although ser ice took a while. It was busy that morning and the server was zipping around tables like bees.

    Overpriced for no reason. The waiters are nice and amazing but the cost of it isn't worth it. Rather would go to Stewart's

    Eggs are Never over medium, cold and servers don't read special requests. Most meals are very bland.

    Went for lunch on a weekday. I haven't been to a French restaurant in a long time in part because…read moreso many have closed which seems strange to me . I take it,it's a matter of fashion. Any way I had an escargot appetizer. I love snails. I wish they had frogs legs! I had the lamb shank for the main course. My wife had the bouef Bourgogne pot pie (apologies for misspellings ; auto correct is fighting me on this one). The food was excellent. The service was good.They make good cocktails and I a sazerac , something I last had in New Orleans, a long time ago. The ambiance is pleasant and parking is easy.The prices, about what you'd expect. We had dessert and coffee. Oh the bread is very good. Highly recommended!

Our order included the following: * Deep Fried Brie served with caramelized onions: $15.95 * (2) Soupe à l'oignon Gratinée - traditional onion soup: $14.95 * Jambe D'agneau Braisée - new zealand lamb shank braised in port wine reduction served over israeli couscous, carrots, mushrooms and onions: $36.95 * Steak au Poivre/au Poivre Vert - two 4 ounce medallions of filet mignon with black peppercorn rub: $39.95 * Pommes Frites (hand cut french fries) $8 This place has the casual look and feel of a Paris bistro, and I really like the vibe. You can sit at tables or the large bar, we chose the former. The service was very good, accommodating and friendly. The food was nicely executed. My lamb shank was tender and tasty. I sampled the steak and thought it was nicely cooked, loaded with flavor and also very tender. The brie was tasty, and didn't seem to heavy, which was surprising as it was deep fried. If I lived in the area, I'd be a regular here.

Freddy's puts out a decent fast food burger. Juicy fresh toppings and flavorful. Our orange cream shake went perfect with it. The facility is clean and the staff friendly. Someone even popped out to check on those dining in to make sure everyone was satisfied. A definite plus in my book. As for burgers. Freddy's earns a solid 8 out of 10

    If you're not going to read to understand then this review ain't for you…read more I've been to the new Freddy's 4 times and I've waited to review it until I could figure out what was needling me. I got it. I used to pass the one in Linden and was psyched to see one finally make it down our way. Me and hus went soon after they opened and got a burger fries chicken and onion rings. During the initial days they served these matchstick potato sticks. HATED IT. Food was OK but not great. No biggie - it was new. Went back on my own to try the lemon custard one night. My acid reflux said NO MAAM so I got to enjoy it going down - and coming back up. It was good though lol. Me and hus went back a few months later - almost same order as before. Dang near $35. Mind you we coulda gone 2 miles down the road to Chilis or across the street to Shake Shack for the same price and better food. Last week I got a message that it was "national steak burger day." Lmaaoooo I love when niche restaurants and hobbyists make their own day. To celebrate, their burgers were only $1. This was actually the motivation I needed to break through the massive 4ft snow and ice mound township contractors placed at the foot of our driveway. 2 hours later I'm at Freddy's getting a double burger for $1. I finally cracked the code!! Freddys is good - it's just overpriced. And I'm saying that with love. Fast food in general is horrifically priced right now but I felt this way a year, year and a half ago about Freddy's. If the price point was $3 lower for a combo the juice would be worth the squeeze. I realize this may not be possible - please place your pitchforks down. Pros: The restaurant is always sparkling clean Friendly employees Fast and efficient pick up Food is good immediately and after a 20 minute drive home Amazing rewards - USE THE APP for savings. Verdict: the food has improved greatly since the early days. The concept is classic culinary Americana - burgers and shakes. It's just too much money for what you get. I'd go back as lit. As I can leverage my app rewards. Can't do it at full price.
