I have tried to give this place the benefit of the doubt and/or rationalize the deal they have (wing basket for $10.99).... But seriously. Absolutely do not recommend eating here. Each out of the past 3 TIMES I have eaten here, I have been sick. Not going to go into detail. If you want to save yourself from stomach issues please, for the love of god, do not get their food. read more

Don't go there to play blackjack. Lady there is 0 fun. Closes early just so she can drink at bar. Wants you to lose when playing and won't even talk to you. read more

Stopped by here to catch up with some former coworkers. Beers and burgers were what we were all craving. Good selection of beers. Food was good. I would be surprised if they messed up burgers... It was hard to find a table/booth on a weekday at 5 PM. I suspect it is busier (and louder) on the weekends. Service was mediocre. Server forgot about us at times.... read more

I went just after lunchtime and ordered a Reuben because that's my favorite sandwich and I can compare to all the other Reuben's I've had over the years. First I will say that the sauerkraut was very good. I don't know if it's homemade, but it's top notch. The corned beef is quite good and tender the way it should be. One interesting thing about sandwiches here is that you can choose fruit as a side, which I did, and it was very refreshing. Service was good and the atmosphere was very nice. I expect to be back again. read more

I was born in MN and always order Walleye when I can. I have to say that the Walleye bites at Frank's are the best ever!!!

I had a great chicken sandwich and delicious mini donuts. Our Philly was fair but chips were good. Service great

Franks is a nice Fargo locals bar restaurant. It's not fine dining in any way, but not bad in any way as far as the food is concerned. It has a nice atmosphere with the usual hamburgers, fries, bar foods that you would find in this type of place. There's a full bar with nice selections and just a very local feel. read more

Great food and service every time we go! We also love to try the soup of the day. Such a fun place!

Good, fast service. Fun environment. Food review: Buffalo Wings: 6/10 solid Ranch: 9/10 very good! Fries: 8/10 great seasoning. Great place! read more

Great service. The food is horrible. The chicken wings were too sweet and just awful overall. The Philly cheese steak was horrible too. The fries were the worst fries I've ever had. I live five miles away and I will never go back. Do not waste your time or taste buds. read more

Very disappointed with the food as compared to when we ate there a few months ago. I had the reuben sandwich with fries. The sandwich was so so and the bread a little over toasted. The fries must have been the bottom of the bag as the pieces were only 1-2 inches long, some were over fried to crispy. I mentioned it to the server and she said that was the way they were. I left most of the fries and part of the sandwich. We were never offered refills on our sodas. read more

I do love a good burger and the one here was fantastic! I went here on a late Saturday afternoon, just missing out on the specials that ended at 4pm, but that's ok. The beer was reasonably priced, the staff was great and the burgers are top notch! I liked the relaxed atmosphere, very sports bar like. I'd go here again in a heartbeat. read more

The food tends to be a little inconsistent, and we were super disappointed with the lavosh flatbread. It was so overcooked that the cheese had changed to...not cheesy. It was more like a disgusting, powdery burnt mess around the last few inches of the perimeter. I love crust, and this was inedible. read more

I would expect more than one thin slice of corned beef on a $14 Reuben. Server was good though.

Delicious! I do wish it was bigger! BUT it's sooo good ! I love spicy food I should of asked to add something spicy lol but it's still good! Just Alf for some hot sauce on the side read more

Chicken sandwich absolutely slaps and the restaurant ranch is crazy good, you should come here

Good spot Good service Pretty good food Definitely 5 stars for these guys Nice area Certain days can be a little more crowded than other days so you can choose what kind of atmosphere you want. read more

The food is really good here, my favorite used to be the shrimp wrap. But everything I've tried has been good!Service has always been great and the food always comes out super fast. It's a comfortable atmosphere and is usually never crowded. (I would highly recommend the pickle wontons) read more

I was very impressed with my food; and not because I am frugal and Monday nights are 1/2 priced burgers (with drink). I had the Blueberry Pork Burger which is bbq pulled pork on a burger with cheese. It was outstanding. I couldn't decide between the chips or fries. I opted for the fries and was glad I did. They are decent sized hand cut fries but also perfectly crispy. I can't wait to go back again. I generally like to try something new each time I visit somewhere again, but it will be difficult not to have that burger again. Also, they have a good tap beer selection. And...you can also get Spicy Pie pizzas here if your group is torn between burgers or pizza. read more

Service is great and they have one of the French dips I've ever had! I usually pick up my order so Im not sure about the overall ambience but I'd hang out there with friends. The service people are always very friendly. The only thing. I don't like is their french fries. They are hot but not crispy. I call them "baggy" fries. read more

I've eaten here twice now and both times food was very good, and didn't have to wait long to eat. Buffalo chicken sandwich was delicious as were their fried pickles! read more

Great service and food ! Jacie our server was so awesome and friendly ! We will def be back.

Great local hangout. Full bar with good selection of wines, bourbons, etc. Small but well thought out selection of beers on tap & excellent selection of bottles. Food is very good as well - usual bar dishes as well as a few uncommon surprises. You can also order off neighboring Spicy Pie's menu in the bar but I prefer the food off of Frank's muni. The first 6 months - 1 year after they opened I would have given them a two star rating but this has become a favorite of mine, wife & friends. Good specials, food, drink selections, atmosphere & staff. read more

I've seen nothing but great reviews when looking into this place, so decided to come here for lunch. I ordered the Buffalo chicken wrap and it was basically chicken wrapped in a tortilla, rotten lettuce, and drenched with Buffalo sauce. I also ordered fruit on the side and the fruit was also rotten. I'm not sure if kitchen staff has changed at all because past reviews do not reflect on the current food. read more

My wife and I stopped here after we searched for a spot we haven't been to in Fargo. This is a hidden gem of a bar in a unlikely area of Fargo. Franks is attached to spicy pie in the prairie rose area of Fargo. It's seemed like a new establishment. Very clean, lots of televisions, bigger inside than the way it looks from outside and a very nice outdoor seating area. There's plenty of room for a group but they also have small booths to accommodate a couple. The bar is fully staffed and stocked. Plenty of draughts on tap and reportedly amazing Cesar's. Plenty of happy hour specials and a nice menu. I had the garlic wings and the sauce was awesome. The wings were good but maybe just a little on the overdone side. The staff was friendly, quick and on top of orders. Frank's has a local crowd I felt like but everyone was really friendly and great conversations all around us. read more

Just in town for the race but I had heard about this relatively new place and thought I would check it out. I figured it fitting on TBT because of the legendary sign. The person who told me about Franks said that they had a neon sign from a a seedy joint from the days of old in downtown FARGO so I googled it. It's a work of art.! I started off with the chili which is where I should have ended. Not because it was bad, but because it was so damn awesome!!!! And a meal in itself. Grill cheese croutons really added a nice touch. Blueberry Pork pulled pork....I could only eat a few bites and had to put the rest in a box, it wasn't because I didn't like it, I was too damn full from the chili. I can't wait to polish that off tomorrow! This place was busy, the food came Out in timely manner and the service was pretty good.. This place should kill it since there isn't anything else to offer out there. When the area does develop more other bar/restaurant in that area, they will have a tough time competing with Franks. Most important ...SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESS OWNERS! read more

Frank's Lounge - The star of the show! Good thing to see on throwback Thursday - Lounges Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

I was really freakishly excited that a new restaurant/bar has opened up in South Fargo, and had the chance to check out Frank's Lounge last night during the middle of the week! I think there's a lot of great potential and am looking forward to checking Frank's out again, but as of now, there's some kinks with service and their available bar that need to be worked out. ATMOSPHERE: This building is right next to the new Spicy Pie, and I was immediately attracted to the classic bright pink florescent sign as I drove in. Frank's brick exterior is great as well, and I saw that they have a fantastic outdoor seating area that would be the perfect place to grab some dinner and a drink in the summer evenings. The interior of Frank's is very open (not too lounge-y though in my opinion), with wooden booths alongside the walls and individual tables throughout the space. There's also a giant hot pink cat that you can't miss :) DRINKS: I'm hoping this is developed soon, but my group of friends and I were surprised to find that there weren't any drink specials or even a cocktail/drink list that we could look over. Our server had a list of wines that one of my girlfriends could pick from, and for every wine that she asked to order, the server had to come back and say that they didn't have it in stock yet (this happened 4 times). She then asked for a ginger ale, and the server came back again to say they were out. They were also out of a lot of common hard alcohols, and so I'm guessing that they're still working on filling up their bar. Other friends ordered an appletini ($4) and amaretto sours, and weren't the biggest fans. I ordered a dirty martini, and usually, have found that I'll get asked whether it's vodka/gin, what kind I'd like, etc. Instead, she asked me "would you like it on the rocks or in a glass?", which I was a bit confused by. Happily though, my martini cost $6, which I thought was reasonable. SERVICE: Our server was pretty attentive for a Wednesday night, but she wasn't the friendliest whatsoever and tended to scowl/glare the entire time. Maybe she was having a rough day? FOOD: The menu is priced reasonably and the food came out quickly. My friend ordered a chicken teriyaki wrap and fries, which he enjoyed. I tried one of his fries, and they were hot, crispy, and pretty great! Overall, I believe Frank's just opened a few weeks ago, and so I'm hoping and anticipating that these initial kinks and areas for improvement will be worked out. Looking forward to coming back and giving this another shot! read more

We decided to head here for the kids eat free meals. Great service and big meals. Everything was delicious and we will be back. Loved the onion rings and hand-cut fries. The nachos are good too. One of the kids spilled a large glass of water and two friendly staff were over right away to clean up. We will definitely be back so we can try the drink specials! read more

10" Pulled Pork BBQ lavosh (don't turn your nose up at Blueberry BBQ sauce---was incredible!!) and Reuben Flat bread lunch, both great choices! A good draft beer selection and the option to sit indoors or out makes this a must-visit local new location!! Definitely on my "will come back" list! read more

My coworkers and I went here for my birthday earlier this week. I was excited to try something new. While the service was great, the food was sort of disappointing. I had read a Yelp review about the blueberry pulled pork, which I raved about to my husband who loves exotic stuff like that. Unfortunately, him and my coworker who had the blueberry pulled pork wrap both said they were underwhelmed by the flavor. I had the Reuben and was also disappointed in the lack of flavor. Felt like they forgot the 1000 island or something. I tried a few of my coworkers fries, but they weren't my preference (larger and not crispy). However, I did have the chili and I thought it was good. My other coworker had their grilled cheese and tomato soup which looked really good. I'll definitely try it again and maybe order the grilled cheese, but I was disappointed in the food that we did get. Side note: because they are connected to the Spicy Pie they actually offer pizza items on their menu. I thought that was convenient. read more

What has happened to this place!! Haven't been there for a while as Big Erv's is the new place, but thought we'd go back to Frank's to switch things up. Wonton pickles were burnt & nachos had about 2 teaspoons of meat on them. Told waitress we'd just pay for drinks & be done with it, but she had to send manager over. He decided that since we ate 3 of the 6 pickles that he wouldn't refund them but would refund the nachos. I said we ate the parts of the pickles that weren't burnt from the first 3 as we were hungry!! Maybe they need to get back whatever chef they used to have when their food was good. Lots better choices out there now. read more

Every time I go to Frank's I'm never disappointed. I like the casual atmosphere, and some great bar food that you can't always find just anywhere. I love the lavish, but last time I tried the Reuben Flatbread, and I wasn't disappointed! It's a favorite among many friends as well. On a cold winter's night, I do enjoy the grilled cheese with tomato soup - so comforting and so so good! And do you like Moscow Mules? Frank's bartenders make a really good one! Served in a copper mug, as it should. They recently added some wines to the drink menu as well- I particularly liked the Blue Eyed Boy Shiraz. This is the perfect spot to meet some friends for a causal night out! read more

I was excited to try Frank's because I had heard good things about the food. I will say that the food did not disappoint. My group was there to watch the game and we mostly did appetizers. The area of disappointment came in the service we received (if you can call it that). We rarely saw our server and when we did she was not friendly at all. She seemed irritated to have to help us at all. We actually had to stop another server for things on more than one occasion. I will probably give Frank's another try someday because I did enjoy the food, but if the service is the same it will be the last time. read more

It was great! The food is always so amazing no matter what route you go-soup, burgers, flatbreads, or salads. The service is always a little slow and unwhelming but worth it for the food! read more

Of favorite place to grab food and a beer! Staff are friendly, good is good, and the drinks are cold!

Great service and food every time I've come here. Courtney is awesome! Definitely recommend especially with their great deals

I was so excited to hear that Frank's Lounge would be opening in the area, as there aren't many bars or restaurants close-by. While it's a great location, Frank's sadly disappointed me both times I have been there since it opened. The first time, the food was average at best. I ordered the boneless "wings" with their blueberry bbq sauce. The sauce itself had a good flavor to it, but the wings themselves were weirdly shaped, like long skinny tenders, and were mushy and kind of cold. My husband ordered the BLT, which wasn't anything special, and the bread was soggy. We also tried the nachos, which were a bit bland and didn't have much in the way of toppings on them. We had a family member wanting to try it out for her birthday, so we reluctantly decided to try it again. This time, we unfortunately had terrible service. We all sat for about 15 minutes before anyone approached us and asked for a drink order. They don't have any drink menus or a beer list on the tables at all, which would be helpful. The waiter was confused when I ordered a Fresh Squeezed, which they have on tap there, like he had never heard of it. It was a Sunday night, and not very busy in there, yet we hardly saw our waiter, and several of us had empty drinks for a while, which is never ok in a bar. A few of us ordered Spicy Pie, and others ordered off the Franks menu. The Spicy Pie took longer to come out, so we got our food at different times. One ordered a side of salsa, which our waiter advised there would be an extra charge for, then forgot to bring it out until we asked again 15 minutes later. I noticed a few other tables around us that had not had their tables cleaned off yet, and waited awhile for drinks as well. Again, the location of Frank's is great, and much-needed for this neighborhood. There is definitely a lot of potential here, and I am sure people will still go, as it's the only place in the area. There are a few good tap beers here, but more selection, as well as specialty drinks, and a beverage menu is definitely recommended. But unless the food and the service kinks get worked out, I will not be back. read more

Overall Frank's is a convenient place for a beer and burger/sandwich, which is why I rated it as high as I did. However (bit of a gripe) last night was a total swing and a miss on their part. No food available (kitchen closed) to the Party Bus riders who went to the concert at the Fargo Dome. I understand not having the full menu available - but a couple of appetizer options would have made some of the customers happy (and spend more money). Our server was delightful and explained that kitchen was closed and Spicy Pie had just closed as well. Just a suggestion for the next Party Bus event. read more

Ok I'm writing this review during my second visit. I would like to say that I was excited for this place to open since it is pretty much the only place to get a beer in this part of town. The decor and all that is good, classic Fargo throwback, et all, see other reviews. I also can't comment on food at all so this review also isn't taking that into effect. The two star review is based on two things: 1. They are serving Fulton Lonely Blonde which is a 5% beer in a 10 oz pour at a premium price when they are serving beers like Two Hearted (7%) and Fresh Sqeezed (6.5%) at the same price for a 22 oz pour. I informed the bartender of this mistake and told her she should let her manager know, however I see they continue to sell it that way. 2. There was 3 groups of patrons inside and 4-5 outside on the patio at 5pm on a Friday evening. They had 9 staff members (1 outside covering the patio) just congregated at the end of the bar near we were sitting bullshitting and drawing straws as to who would stay the rest of the night and who would go. Employees that just got done working also joined the fray and it was annoying to say the least. Even though I was sitting at the bar it felt like I was in their breakroom. I couldn't make out a clear manager of the pack but they definitely should have moved the pow wow elsewhere. For these reasons, I'm giving a two star rating will not frequenting this place very often. read more
