Just had the most delightful lunch at Frank's Dinner in Culpeper! I ordered the fried fish & shrimp, with curly fries. The waitress was attentive and offered to refill our beverages (my ice water and my friend's sweet tea) many times and checked on us as well. The fish was succulent, fried to perfection, flavorful and moist and served with at least four, and more likely 6 ounces of tartar sauce that didn't skimp on the diced pickles. Two lemon slices (one for the ice water, one for the fish) accompanied my meal. The meal left me feeling full, satisfied and satiated and I wont hesitate to return again in the near future. Their breakfast menu was very reasonably priced and my colleagues fried eggs, french toast and grits looked delicious. Excellent portion sizes at very reasonable and affordable prices. A pauper could dine like a prince at Frank's Diner! The diner itself is tastefully appointed and was not overly loud, despite being at above 50% capacity. Wood paneling with painted white wall board with some interesting décor added to the experience. We left our charming waitress a generous tip in line with the excellent service. This is one of the best restaurants in the charming small town of Culpeper and I would encourage everyone to try it. read more

Great food, great service and fast friendly staff. Past reviews of less than 5 stars are wrong.

I had the pulled pork sandwich with curly fries. It tasted amazing. Our waitress Alexis did such a great job. We always had our glasses filled and she was pleasant, funny, and super attentive. I highly recommend here and hope you get Alexis as your waitress as well. read more

Food prices are very reasonable. They serve breakfast until they close at 3:00 pm, which helps for those of us that like to sleep in on the weekends. Service is always good and fast, whether you have a to go order or dine in. read more

For my first visit, my review is a solid 3. The line of people on Sunday was nearly out the door. They were very busy. Mostly with what looked like to go orders but a lot of people to be seated as well. Also Frank's is Breakfast all day! -I dont stop for a lot of breakfast usually, unless they have chipped beef gravy. Otherwise I cook my own breakfast and go out for lunch or dinner. I saw Frank's on Yelp and it happened that I was right across the road. Off I went. - After being seated I ordered coffee. Then a couple min later, I ordered my food. They had sausage gravy and country gravy. Just to be sure, I asked the difference. Country gravy is sausage gravy without the sausage. I ordered the Country gravy with biscuits. Comes with two eggs and fried potatoes. When the dish was set in front of me I noticed right away it was sausage gravy. I don't like sausage but I didn't say anything. I just picked most of it out. Scrambled eggs could have used about 40 more seconds in the pan. Slightly runny Scrambled eggs. Potatoes were ok. An associate of Frank's came over and asked me how everything was. It would be easy to say everything is good then write a poor review,but I didn't do that. It was hard but I did advise the mistake with my gravy order and I did advise the eggs were rather runny. I told him I know this place was so so busy and they're new in town. I'm sure the kitchen was barely holding on. I'd like to come again. They have breakfast all day and a lunch menu. My order was under $11. Yes, Sir!.. Go give them a try. Be patient. And dress light. I didn't feel any air conditioning. It was hot, crowded, and crazy busy. read more

nice local place; good food. if you are traveling through, you may see that locals will be served faster and get desired seating. service seemed slow. it was a tad frustrating to see others get served well before us, even though they arrived after us. maybe if I lived in the area I would have been treated a little better. the food was good though... read more

First time, waitress took long time to get to us, never refilled coffee. Food was mediocre. Was told the Empty bakery display would have desserts soon. Went back several months later...stood at door at 7:05...opens at 7:00... noticed bakery case still empty... three people inside, just looked at me standing outside the door as if an alien was standing out front. Left. Never going back. read more

Wow! It was my boyfriend and I's first time trying this place and it was wonderful. The servers were attentive and the place was clean. I ordered the chicken tenders because I saw someone else order them and they looked awesome. She warned me it takes a bit longer to cook because they're home made and made to order. No issue there. Everything was served hot and was very fresh. Everything was well flavored and seasoned. Will definitely be a place we will frequent. read more

Frank's Diner - Chicken tenders and fries. Honey mustard, ranch dressing. Then a waffle with scrambled eggs, turkey sausage and home fries. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Culpeper, Virginia

First time eating breakfast at Frank's Diner. Very busy so expect to wait a while to get a seat. Good quality food at a reasonable price. However, I was disappointed with the grits (strange taste like sour cream was added). read more

My daughter and I went here today 10/5/2024 to have lunch! I was told the food was good! My daughter said her food was good, but mine was not! My fish I got was obviously frozen, burnt, so was my bread! Some of the fries were burnt as well! The tomatoes were green on the inside! I took a few bits of the fish and it was not good! The tartar sauce was like water! The girl took it back and asked what was wrong so I told her and she asked if I wanted anything else at no charge and I said no! I get to the register and it was 31.78 and I said why am I paying for food I didn't eat! So she said you ate it but didn't like it! First of all I gave the whole plate of food back! Supposedly there was no manager on site! She asked the cook if she could take it off and he wanted to go back and forth about this damn food that was nasty! I said never mind I'll pay but I'll never come back! I got five dollars off a meal I didn't eat! Never again! Absolutely never! If I could give a zero I would! read more

Great local diner, open 7 days a week, best breakfast in town. The food is always quick, hot, and fresh. Fast turn over and always clean. Why 4 stars? Grumpy staff, always. Take them with a grain of salt and enjoy the food. read more

The food flavor is really good. I had a bacon cheeseburger, fries. The burger is fresh ground beef. This is very nice surprise. Fries are the normal. Plenty of bacon. Service is still working the kinks out for just opening, also the cooks. I watched other plates and the food looks really good. I will revisit in a month or longer to see if time helps the coordination out. One other item. Air conditioning was either on low or just could not keep up. It was very warm inside. It is worth a try for a little home town dinner read more

Surprised by the home fries, nice taste and texture. Had the Reuben omelette which tasted amazing. No pics because I mostly inhaled it. We beat the Sat morning rush, which delayed some service (understandable). Recommend to anyone in town or passing through. read more

Food is great and the staff is attentive and wonderful every visit. Yes, it's a little busy to very busy as times -just be patient.

not the best breakfast in Culpepper. had a basic sausage, gravy w/home fries and 2 eggs. the potato's were a joke and flavorless and the gravy was a poor effort too. I regret going there. money wasted. read more

This place has the best breakfast in Culpeper! We have been several times and it has been great every time.

This was by far our worst dining experience at Frank's. My husband loves to go there on Friday's and get their catfish. He loves it and goes every Friday when he can. He asked me if I wanted to go and I was apprehensive because it is not my favorite restaurant. I decided to go since we normally don't get to eat lunch together. I tried their pulled pork sandwich and it was nasty. It was full of salt and my husband asked if I could get something else. The girl said we could but we would have to pay for it since I took a bite out of it. We told her that we knew the owner and he always substituted something out if something was wrong. She said no because we could have asked for a sample. My husband texted the owner and eventually the manager came over and asked to make something else. We didn't have time for that at that point because my husband had a meeting to get to. They didn't take it off the bill either. Our waitress was terrible too. We asked for Diet Pepsi and we got regular Pepsi. My husband has issues with regular soda so he knew right away it wasn't diet. He asked for curly fries and got regular fries. She came a few minutes later and said she gave him the wrong order but he had already touched the food. She never came back to ask if we needed refills. If you are going for fish this is a great place to go. However, if you don't like fish, then this may not be the place for you. They do have a good steak and cheese sandwich but I had that for dinner so I wanted something different. Don't get the pulled pork unless you love salty pork. Or do as the girl said and ask for a sample before you get it. I had my husband try it to see what he thought and he agreed with me that it was nasty. It was the worst that we have ever had. Here is a picture of it after we tried it so you can see the bun was even over done. read more

Employees are being treated unfairly. Supervisors contradict themselves. They complain all the time. They care more about the restaurant than the customers. read more

Second time visiting in a week. Had the eggs, home fries, French toast, turkey bacon. Husband had pancakes and he is amazed at the flavoring of these pancakes. Better than IHOP. all was amazing. Orange juice was a bit on the sweet side. Coffee was very good. Worth the wait, comfortable countryside feel. We both will be back again. No pics since we ate it all in one bite. read more
