    Bratwurst with sauerkraut, ketchup, and mustard
    Rodney W.

    On a recent Sunday bike ride near the West Side Market, we stopped in to see what's cookin'. Not much was cookin', but there were a lot of meal ingredients for sale. One of the few places serving food was Frank's Bratwurst. I asked my son if he wanted a hot dog and I bought him a bratwurst. The brat was really tasty. It would've been nice to have a wider selection of toppings, but it was of good quality and taste nonetheless.

    So simple but so good. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and flavorful brat on a great simple roll with brown mustard, and for only $4, you can't beat it. Love the west side market and all their stands and this place is one of the best, they are very nice and super quick to make your food, and it's great how you can walk right outside and sit on a bench to eat. You can get a hard or soft roll with mustard, ketchup, or sauerkraut. Love how they perfected one simple food to sell, and they perfected it, definitely will be back!

    If I make a bad joke about this picture I know you will glare at me so I wont.

    There's a song about these incredible brats inside the West Side Market (not to be confused with the Bratz inside any given shopping mall). It's called "Relax", and it's by "Frankie Goes To Cleveland." Relax! Get Bratwurst! When you want eat sausage! Relax! Don't share it! You'll be left with none! Relax! Don't drop it! Then you're left with none! But please save me some! What to get: A Brat What not to give birth to: A Brat What my girlfriend is: A Brat One of the most famous and yet unheralded, underrated places in Cleveland. Unheralded as in, how the f*** does this legend only have 25 reviews? Are you kidding me Yelp? That's what I mean when I say Yelp doesn't always "get it." If this was the gourmet hipster grilled cheese place (cough Melt cough) it'd have 573 reviews by now. AT LEAST. But Frank's. Oh Frank's. My Frank's. So delicious. So unheralded. And that's what you get from a place named after Frank E Muniz, Frank Ophile, and Frank Salott. In the corner of the world famous and historic Old West Side Market, this little stand is serving up the most delicious bratwurst on rolls that you can imagine. The people giving this place 3 stars or less, I just can't with you. I just can't. 5 star price, 5 star service, and one of the best Brats I've ever had. Don't forget to add sexy spicy mustard to it. It's just soooo good. Still, what do you expect from a place named after Frank Zappa, Frank A Sessment, and Frank N Stein. Perhaps there might be one Brat seller hidden away somewhere in the state of Wisconsin that is superio, but for the most part you will not find a bratwurst that tastes this good. Charcoal Inn South (Sheboygan, WI) is probably my fave, but that's because of the massive fresh dollops of butter they put on there. For the Brat itself, this one is as good as any, and better than the vast majority. If you are in the WSM and not vegetarian, you simply, unequivocally have to try one. Anyway, what else do you expect from a place named after Frank Sinatra, Frank Ocean, and Frank O Phone. They're also filling and dirt cheap, so as I say, if you are in Cleveland you simply must give it a try. I know you will be possibly more drawn to be same hipster stuff that you can find in Williamsburg and San Francisco, but bear with me and come to the West Side Market and try this - along with a lemon sugar crepe from du luxe, and some spicy jerky from czuchraj. And if you like those three life-changing items, hmu and I'll give you a nice list of other life-changing Cleveland eats... and there are many. But what do you expect from a place named after Frank F Urter, Frank Sfornuttin, and Frank Leemadeer. I don't give a damn.

    $3 for a bratwurst sammie. $4 for a bratwurst sammie and sauerkraut. I wasn't a huge fan of the bread it came on because it got pretty soggy halfway through. But the bratwurst itself was pretty good. And for $4, that's pretty cheap! Tip - don't forget the mustard!

    When I'm at the Westside Market you will find me standing in line for one of Frank's Bratwurst. I like to keep it simple so I can enjoy the flavors of the bratwurst. You definitely want to enjoy this on the fresh hard roll it is the only way to go, don't worry about it being too hard or tough it's always fresh, tender with just enough chew to the roll add a little mustard and walk way so you won't be tempted to order another. Ordered plain its $3.50 you'd be hard pressed to find a better one at any price.

    Best bratwurst ever!
    The Travel C.

    Quite possibly the best bratwurst ever. The brats were cooked perfectly and were served on a hard roll that was baked to perfection! The bratwurst were so good we went back for a second round! The people behind the counter were so nice and friendly. We will definitely be back for more.

    Do you know if the brats are made of beef, pork, or a mix?

    All pork!

    It's simple (soft or hard roll, kraut or no kraut) but that's what makes it so amazing and classic.

    I could not stop taking pictures of this corned beef sandwich. It's a work of art, assembled by a…read moreteam of artisans working an assembly line of meat and bread. The slicer never stops. They just keep placing another brisket on, and the ribbons of beef keep falling. The order counter is tiny, with a line out the door: regulars, tourists like me, and food delivery drivers all waiting their turn. There are meat trimmings everywhere, tubs of pickles, and the sense that the folks behind the counter know exactly what they are doing. The small dining room is packed with people sitting elbow to elbow, gripping massive sandwiches with stadium mustard in the corners of their mouths. It is loud, cramped, messy, and glorious.

I joined the line just before 11 and got inside about 11:50 AM. I'm currently standing in line waiting on my sandwich which is a corned beef melt. I ordered a corned beef melt, which is toasted rye, cornbeef, double Swiss cheese - hot & melted with Kraut on the side and dressing. I got a side of potato pancakes, and also coleslaw. The folks were extremely friendly on the inside, very welcoming and very efficient as they worked to make who knows how many meals. And you'll be glad to know every sandwich comes with a dill pickle, wrapped in its own paper and ready for delicious consumption! The dill is a big deal to me because I like spears, as in the pickle not necessarily (in this case) the pop star! Come early and be ready to wait! The place is really kitchsy and has a great atmosphere. And the folks really make it awesome to be there. It has the feel of a destination restaurant the kind of place that is an experience to visit not just because of the food because of the culture and the people and the phenom that it has become.

The fennel perfectly cut through the richness of the asparagus. Add to this one of the best potato salads I've ever had and it would've been enough.

Good luck. They have a happy hour. We took advantage of that. $10 chicken sandwich and $5 fries. The fries are fresh cut and plenty to share. Super good. I am told the chicken sandwich was good. Chicken was thick and good. Pickles mayo all good. I got the pastrami. Pastrami is sliced thick with slaw and their homemade mustard. Pastrami good. Bread ok. Slaw OK. The homemade mustard was super strong and not that enjoyable. Had a kinda a horseradish taste. Didn't like it at all. Took over the meat. The meat by itself was pretty good. Moist, tender, tastee. But with the whole sandwich not good. Next time I know. And the sandwich for $18 was thick pieces of meat, I think I would have preferred sliced thin and stacked. Kinda like corn beef is. I think I wouldn't have fought eating it so much. Thick slices were awkward and I couldn't eat it cleanly. It was a puzzle that kept falling apart. Had to put it back together and with the mustard was too much for me. I did get a chocolate phosphate. Hadn't had one in a decade. It was good. Paper straw made it impossible to drink the last few sips cuz it can't hold up. We did get a black and white cookie to go and an oatmeal pie. Both really good. Oh and if you see a bakery item get it when you see it. Otherwise it's gone. Ordering dinner I saw a chocolate chip cookie but by the time I went to get it, it was gone. Prices for happy hour were good. But it's not cheap. Our bill was $47 total. That was 2 sandwiches, 1 order of fries, 2 drinks a phosphate and canned drink. No cookies. We got those later. So not cheap. Would I go back. Yes. I feel like I would try something else and give it a shot. I think now I know I'd do better.
