Service is great, food is great. Never had a bad meal or experience here. Asked if we could bring our own wine, $25 corking fee. They also have a nice selection but this was a special gift of wine so we brought it. read more

Friends took us and my when we got there my expectations were low...very unassuming location with paper place mats. Food was out of this world. The Grouper Francaise was one of the best pieces of fish I've ever had. After our meal Frank came out of the kitchen to meet with the group...I will go back every time I'm within100 miles of Franks! read more

From the outside, you may be tempted to think twice about eating here, but you will not be sorry by staying put! Hands down some of the best Italian my family has ever eaten. The Italian wedding soup, lasagna, and even humble spaghetti were delish and came in large portions. A little on the pricey side, but completely worth every penny. read more

based on all the reviews on yelp , We arrived here at 7:30 PM last Monday evening! No one around, CLOSED!??? So I really have nothing to review, I would have liked to of tried it! read more

Friendly service with reasonably priced food. Seems to be popular so you should call and get a reservation. read more

Frank's Grill - Seafood Near Me - Marathon, Florida

See all

Frank's grill was our favorite stop during our time on Marathon. We all ordered very different plates and each one was beyond impressive! We started with calamari, steamers, lobster bisque, and turkey vegetable soup. All were great. For dinner, we thoroughly enjoyed our dishes of authentic manicotti, a delicious and healthy portion of veal, the best scallops we've ever had, and a mouthwatering light and tender fillet with crab and hollandaise that was unlike any steak we've had before. Pairing the Santa Margarita Pino Grigio wine with the meal was a perfect combination. Although we were stuffed from the generous portions, we couldn't resist trying desserts. We ordered the Key Lime pie, which was whipped and very light, the chocolate dessert, which was to-die-for for any chocolate lover, and lastly, the recommended cheesecake which was very tasty with the strawberries on top. Our waiter, Joe, was attentive and personable! Would highly recommend! read more

So delicious!! Never been to Marathon, so not familiar, but we got off the boat craving pasta. Found Frank's Grill online, sounded so yummy...IT WAS!! All our 5 different dishes were so amazing I could name my top after dinner. We ordered for pickup but the place is super cute read more

Excellent! The food is AMAZING! The staff is always accommodating and want to make sure you are enjoying the Dinning experience. Try shrimp Parmesan. Highly recommend it. read more

The food was incredible. I had the Snapper Francesca and my wife had the Mussels Diavilla . Both were simply wonderful We have been fortunate enough to have some great meals while here in Marathon, but We enjoyed Frank's more than any of the rest. Just be sure to get reservations as early as possible, as we are not the only ones who hold this opinion. read more

Frank's Grill can accommodate those needing a gluten free meal. This is a great restaurant with many options. A real chief preparing real meals!! read more

Excellent menu choices and service to match at reasonable prices for the Keys. Reservaitons recommended as seating is limited We saw more than one walk-in party turned away as they were booked on a Friday night. Veal Picatta was excellent and not over done with too much lemon. Fresh warm bread was served, but when asked twice for and additional serving they could not comply. They also told the table near us, bread was in the oven. No biggie as by the time we finished our ample entree(s) we were full, but needed dessert. Good Key LIme pie as well as a Chocolate dessert we forgot the name of. Nice house Chianti at $25 for a caraffe. We'll be back!! read more

Googled Frank's before I went there and they were just as advertised. My wife and I walked in and the entire local fire department was eating lunch and the joint was packed with locals. After eating lunch, my wife and I realized why this place does such a good business. Everything my wife and I ordered was super delicious. Our lasagna came out bubbling right out of the oven. Caution! Let your food cool before eating it. LOL. Seriously, this place is a locals gem and a MUST place to stop in Marathon for lunch or dinner if you want Italian food. I will be back to eat here the next time I am in Marathon FL. read more

Awesome meal tonight at Franks. We had the snapper, mussels and veal chop. This place never disappoints. My favorite restaurant in Marathon.

We did takeout but even then, we were able to tell that this place is top-notched. The food was amazingly delicious with big portions. The staff was friendly and quoted us an accurate time and remembered everything we needed. In the short time we waited, we saw that the staff ran the place pretty smoothly and the ambiance was intimate and warm. We had the linguini with white clam sauce, shrimp scampi, meat ravioli. So delicious we had to finished and boy, were we full and satisfied! Definitely recommend! read more

Amazing pasta. Even better was the garlic olive oil dip that came with our bread - just glorious chunks of garlic. So much garlic. The place was filled with locals, so you know it's good. Very friendly staff and excellent service. read more

Found this place on my way home. Very clean and attentive restaurant! The food was good, the Gordon blue was amazing. Prices are reasonable and a reservation is required. We were lucky that they had a table available, but we still called in advance to check availability. Recommend. read more

Good, but not quite good enough two justify the two-day-advanced reservation it required to get in. If you want a real locals' place, this might be it. The room was filled with happy old people, who seemed like locals, including a party gathered for a birthday. Food was pretty good, but on the expensive side, especially considering that the portions were not large. One thing which surprised me was the fact that there actually is a Frank, who is actually alive and actually works in the kitchen! The whole place is very genuine. The waitresses are aging, and one of them seemed to speak more Italian than English. The decor is also quite pleasant. It seems like a nice place to celebrate an occasion. read more

Frank's Grill was recommended by friends we met up with in Duck Key, FL. It's a super casual place located in a small shopping plaza - very easy to find with your GPS. They said, "This place has GREAT Italian Food... there's one chef in the kitchen and he knows how to cook!" I agree that the food is fresh and homemade quality - definitely nothing out of a can! There were 7 of us and I had a chance to try a couple different dishes. The chicken and veal parms tasted SOOOO good! If you like fettuccine, Frank's has a rich sauce that will have you wanting more. Ok, now on to their dessert... Of course like any Key's establishment you can find Key Lime Pie... but the server could not stop talking about the Tiramisu so I had to get it! If I wasn't so full I probably would have had a second one ;) read more

Frank's Grill - homemade tiramisu ~ delicious! - Seafood Near Me - Marathon, Florida

Solid Italian food and good, efficient service. We were looking for a light Italian dinner and found it here. The inside was packed (and very loud) and a little chilly. Fortunately, one of the outside tables was open and we were able to enjoy our meal in a quieter setting (even if it was basically in the parking lot). They brought out a small bowl of roasted garlic with the warm bread. The tomato sauce was flavorful and the portions ample. It was a lovely meal. read more

Just got back from my first visit to Franks. We went for my wife's 54th birthday! We are down here for vacation so not to familiar with local spots. I am originally from Brooklyn N.Y. and very critical about my Italian food. Well what can I say but "FUGGETABOUTIT" ! This slang means something is great! The food was delicious! The staff was very friendly and the service terrific. My waiter Joe was awesome and very accommodating. The place had a nice cozy feeling, it brought me back to my days in Bensonhurst. By far the best Italian food south of the Tri-state N.Y. area up north. I actually walked into the kitchen to tell Frank how impressed I was. A+ establishment.. read more

Again you find the best when the trip nears its end. Wonderful food, Great Service. Must try again. Good Italian restaurant. Fresh, Well prepared and very tasty! Second trip a year later got lucky and got in with out a reservation. Still very good and maybe the best in the area. read more

Here in the Keys on vacation. Promised my kids some Italian food. We found this place online and after a full day of snorkeling we were famished! Came to Frank's and were incredibly impressed. Got here at 5 right when they opened and sure enough they have been consistently busy. Everything was amazing from the soup to the pasta. Had the calamari and the snapper piccatta. The fish was the silkiest, most buttery fish ever. The calamari was light and tender. Hubs has zuppa de clams, so light and flavorful and the kids had spaghetti with meat sauce and cheese ravioli, both also excellent. It is in a random strip mall, but if you find yourself in Marathon, down in the Keys, make sure to head to Frank's! Not to missed! read more

Went to frank's grill on high praise from family and friends. What a mistake that was on top of wasting 24 bucks! As soon as I saw them throw the eggplant park in the microwave, I new things were going downhill from there. The clam sauce was not much better. I would give you a 1 out of 5 stars!!

OMG the best Italian food I've ever had in Florida. Just like mama's... We had penne,huge shrimp, artichoke and capers in a garlic light tomato sauce. Exceptional!! Also enjoyed a delicious authentic tiramisu for desert.The owner/chef has been in this location for 10 years and has been a cook for over 20.He came out to greet us and ask how we liked our meals..Very down home atmosphere.. We'll make this a regular stop.. read more

So this place takes you by surprise- located in a small strip mall in Marathon. Food was amazing - Italian dishes and seafood with an Italian twist. This place will also cook and serve up your fresh catch. The wine and food top notch and service very attentive. We had a large group which was handled very nicely. Again, give this a try if looking for a welcome alternative to common themes in the keys. read more

Great environment! Clam sauce is so good. The ziti and tomato basil is tasty! Theresa is fabulous. Ask for theresa (with 7 letters)! We are in town from Colorado. My husband is from Jersey and theresa (with 7 letters) made us feel like we were at home. I saw Frank in the kitchen cooking. Make reservations...the house was packed and we lucked out by going early. read more

I had a family member graduating so we decided to go to franks, upon arriving the waitresses refused to seat saying everything was reserved. We said okay and decided to order take out but nobody wanted to take our order. Then joe arrived on scene, he offered us menus and water and sat us outside and provided excellent service despite our neglect to make reservations and the restaurant being busy. Joe paid excellent attention to detail our orders and fulfilled requests with passion. Despite the rough start we had a really great experience as local keys people we really enjoy Franks thanks to servers and staff like Joe! read more

Simply delicious, freshly prepared food! The evening fish specials were very good, cooked perfectly. The staff is so friendly and inviting. Top of our list for our next visit to the Keys. read more

Great food and service. Frank gives personal attention. Mile marker 53, north across fromCapitol Bank.

I've never had a bad or even mediocre meal here, I have eaten here Many times the service and food have always been tops

Joe was the absolute BEST server!! Went with a large group and everyone's food was amazing and came out super hot. Definitely will be coming here for dinner again when in Marathon!! read more

We ate here this evening as a group of 8. They were accommodating and offered exemplary service. The food was all tasty and the portions were more than generous. We had linguini with clams, penne with vodka sauce and veal parm. Everything, including the bread, was really good! We would recommend this restaurant to friends for sure. read more

Great food and service. Small place and reservations recommended. Best Italian food in the Keys.

Great place in keys to have a quick lunch.. stopped here on a random stop.. amazing mussels and eggplant parmesan sub.. mouth watering.. great prompt service.. read more

Eggplant parmigiana was very good and they were kind to swap out the pasta for broccoli. Hubby had the ziti with broccoli, garlic & oil, and chicken and it was very good. Dinner portions are HUGE. We should have ordered 1 item to share. Salads were fresh and bread was hot. The only disappointment was the key lime pie. It was a whipped and airy version vs the traditional. Would pass on that the next time. Ordered takeout and Joe was awesome. Will probably stop for lunch next time we are in town. read more

We were visiting from Orlando!! Found Fran's Grill in yelp!! And decided to give it a try. The service was outstanding. The food well done and delicious and the prices very compatible with the area. Highly recommended this place. Definitely will come back to franks grill next time we are at the keys. Love it here!!!! read more

Phenomenal flavors! I think my pasta was even better than what I had in Italy, and Bf was impressed when he tried mine that it was actually gluten free. Only gripe is that they do iceberg lettuce salads. read more

Love Franks for Italian food when we are in Marathon. Make a reservation for sure as it gets packed. Everything we've tried has been good from the spaghetti to fettuccine alfredo, to chicken parm to my wife's fave the snapper francaise. Staff are very friendly and service has always been good. We go at least once every year since we discovered it read more
