Franks Place was a friendly, inviting place to enjoy a good, tasty meal. The landscape had hints of Tuscany. We were seated outside and the sun was starting to bother us. Almost immediately a friendly gentleman was adjusting the umbrellas so that we were now in the shade. After saying "thank you" and exchanging a few pleasantries, I had the sense that this was the owner and sure enough he was! It's customer service and attention to detail that make a difference read more

Great local restaurant quality food and reasonable prices!!! Just didn't care for the huge chunks of garlic on my wings!!

Steak. That's the win. Confusing entrance setup, had to walk through a maze to get to table. Seated in heated patio area, heater blasting into the side of my face. But all is forgiven when you eat the food. Service is outstanding, some great people working here. Prime rib was outstanding, appetizers were outstanding. Fish is outstanding. Only thing not great is curly fries honestly. read more

Very disappointed in their food. Seems like the bigger they've gotten, the quality has gone downhill. Ordered something as simple as a buffalo chicken wrap (grilled chicken) and the chicken was undercooked and the hot sauce was very ketchup-y. They need to get back to the basics of preparation, presentation and customer satisfaction. read more

Food is great the atmosphere is nice Staff is friendly. The drink selection are good read more

The ambiance on the patio was amazing! The rest of the restaurant looked a little old. The food was okay. I got a prosciutto chicken pasta. it was pretty bland. No parmesan or ground pepper. My daughter got a bacon cheese burger. It was a burger, what you'd expect. My husband got a streak that was over cooked and asparagus with no flavor. Again a very bland dish. It was very expensive! They put $$ on yelp, it's more like $$$$. It's was a nice experience but not worth the money in my opinion. The food was nothing to talk about. The service was also just okay. The waiter didn't know the menu at all. I assume he was new. read more

I'm just getting around to writing my Yelp review. My 1st time I went to Frank's was August 1st. I was buying a car at Hornbeck Chevrolet. We asked the sales lady for a good place to eat. She highly recommend Franks. The food was delicious. The service top notch. The restaurant is pristine. I have never seen a restaurant that was virtually spotless. That says a lot for the pride of the owners and the employees. The outside eating area is beautiful. Even the parking lot was clean! We have been back twice since my original visit. Each time everything was amazing,from the food to the service. The atmosphere in the restaurant is cozy. They are very busy,so definitely call for a reservation. I live in Wayne Co & drive 35-40 just to eat here. I'm so grateful for Melissia at Hornbeck Chevrolet telling me about this incredible restaurant. read more

Frank's Place in Simpson should be avoided at this point. Got fish and chips packed on lettuce with a piece of turkey that looks like someone took a bite out if it. Got ma chicken and broccoli alfredo that has zero flavor or cheese in the sauce, it was like an oil slick. Ghe fra diavolo was pink sauce with zero heat. Called to let the owner know, and the attitude was beyond rude. When I tried going into what what wrong all I got was "yeah and what else" and of course the well I'll replace it comment. Said no thanks it was bad enough to have lost our collective appetites and the guy basically brushed it off like whatever that he knew we wouldn't be coming back and hung up. Never again. This was supposed to be a birthday dinner. Luckily we bought a cake elsewhere. read more

The service and food are fantastic . Can't say enough good about our waitress Brittany , always had a full soda as well as anything we asked for. The food incredible. The small size prime rib good for another meal . End piece medium very flavorful and like butter. The seafood fra Diablo delicious and plentiful . Highly recommend as we will return. read more

I can't tell you how impressed I am with this place.... How they look out for each other...and help each other in the restaurant... they have a heart! read more

Watch your bill at this place. We went for a late lunch and paid for the meal on our credit card- AND GOT A RECEIPT FOR OUR CHARGE! We left a cash tip (almost a 30% tip, mind you) for the wait staff. When we checked our credit card statement a few days later, we were charged $14 more than our bill. The owner continues to give us the run around. Luckily the credit card company was empathetic. Although it was only $14, it's the principal. You don't overcharge your customers. If you decide to eat there, bring cash so you don't have to go through what we did! read more

Great food and Great service! Staff was very nice and accommodating and food came quickly and was delicious. read more

Frank's Place - lobster ravioli - Bars Near Me - Simpson, Pennsylvania

By no stretch of the imagination is this a five star restaurant, so ignore all those reviews. It's not even good. It barely passes okay, and were it not for a friendly wait staff and the pleasant outdoor setting, it wouldn't even be that. The food is under par for the price, and "frankly", what you'd expect from a lame New Jersey diner. Overcooked bland vegetables, frozen fish and meats, "instant" potatoes... you know the deal. Go here with the same expectations you'd have if going to a hometown buffet but with three times the price and you won't be disappointed. read more

Was told by a friend to try this place out and let me tell you it was amazing. The place was nice and clean, then the service was good but the food was great! Here is the photos of our food. We will definitely go back. read more

We love Frank's! From the service, to the food, to the beer selection and tap quality...everything is top notch. You can certainly tell the draft beer system is kept clean. If you like a little heat, try the spicy vodka pasta. It's absolutely fantastic! I highly recommend it. Pasta is always a good choice, but the prime rib and ribeye are to die for too. Tough choices to be had by all! We've always had amazing service as well, so what more could you ask for? read more

After coming here multiple times for lunch and trying multiple food items, I upped my review to 5 stars! Let me start out by saying the menu is HUGE--burgers, steaks, hot/cold sandwiches and hoagies, seafood, salads, lighter fare, pizza, wings, Italian and more. Everyone who visits here should have no problem finding something to their liking. If you are trying to be healthy, I highly recommend one of their salads...OMG they are the best around! And I am addicted to those everything crackers they serve on the side! They use super fresh ingredients and the salads are really big. I'll fill up on a salad here; however, it doesn't stop me from ordering one of their delicious apps--the potstickers are one of my faves! Their sandwiches are really good as well. Try their Texas cheesesteak--thank me later :) Portions are huge, service is friendly and attentive and they do offer outdoor covered/heated seating in the time of COVID. Prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend! read more

Tried Frank's Place for the first time last night with my wife and another couple. Heard nothing but good things about this place and read all the Yelp reviews so I was excited to eat here. I was not disappointed! They had a large crowd since it was a Saturday and parking took several minutes but we had reservations and were seated within 15 minutes of our reservation time. They have a large selection of beers on tap and a huge menu. We all shared a big soft pretzel appetizer which was really great. I had the 20oz Prime Rib with a side of pasta which the waitress was able to substitute for me instead of potatoes. Prime rib was excellent and the marinara sauce on the pasta side was very good and the portion was large. My wife had the seafood fra diavolo special which she also enjoyed very much, and she's a picky eater. We shared a Tiramisu for dessert which was also excellent. All in all a fun night with friends and great food. I definitely will be back to Frank's Place. read more

I loved the old Franks Now It's not as friendly Food is Rushed Or out Of all items. Never should of did the add on! Old Franks was the best! read more

We have eaten here many times and never had a bad meal. It is off the beaten path but don't let the location fool you. Everyone knows where it is and they are always busy. In these pandemic times it is very difficult to run a restaurant and management there does a GREAT job. Clean, spacious and a huge variety of food on the menu. You can't go wrong to take a ride to Frank's Place and find out for yourself. read more

A 'hidden gem' I think it is called. Nestled in the middle of no where ( no offense) is a spectacular find. Seafood is awesome. Mushrooms with Crab, Salmon perfectly seasoned and prepared and list goes on. Large portions but save room for dessert. PB Pie and Strawberry Shortcake our top choices. We do Take Out, but inside is wonderful. Folks are beyond friendly. Grab a Growler To-Go. Great selection on/tap. read more

Great variety of food on the menu, and I haven't been disappointed yet! This is where we take out-of-town guests.

The food and service were wonderful! They accommodated my need for a gluten free roll and my Reuben was delicious!

If you are lucky enough,now and then,you will pay attention to a piece of information that will alter the course of your life and change the way you do things;Frank's Place,Simpson PA,is such a piece of information...I never had a bad meal,I never had a bad beverage,and if you leave there hungry,its your own fault.Come as you are,come dressed up,bring the kids,come alone,you are welcome here, this is a family brought up with love,respect,and decency,feeding people in their restaurant as I'm sure their parents did at home-you can see it,you feel it,put the address in your phone,get on the Casey Highway,follow the star.... read more

This place has the biggest menu I think I have ever seen. When we sat down the first menu had about 10 seafood and 10 steak/beef options plus apps and drinks and such, turns out that was just the specials. Had a fall themed Moscow mule that was awsome, and the giant pretzel was huge and very good. My wife's steak was well cooked and my shrimp and lobster pasta special was packed full of lobster meat. 4 stars because though pretty good it didn't really knock out socks off, it was just good and priced pretty appropriately for the quality. Will be back to try some other dishes to see if it there is something that can blow us away. read more

Skip this place. They cut corners and when my order was wrong did not remake the food for me, they merely removed the chicken and re served it to me. Then I bit into chicken that was at the bottom of my dish! I can't eat chicken. Everything from the food to the waitstaff to the owner cutting corners is not okay. Don't order a prime rib because that's not what they give you!! There are many other great establishments in the area but this is NOT one of them. read more

Had a 104th birthday party for husbands grandmother. Staff was personal, friendly and took great care of us. 2nd time this group was here for a family party. Will definitely be back. read more

Great food and service at Franks Place! An awesome place to go for a meal or for drinks

Excellent. Services is amazing. The food is outstanding. It has the feel of a small town restaurant with a big city volume. Highly recommend. read more

So good thank you.. great food, great atmosphere, great people! I was super sad to leave.. will be back sooj

I have Always had a good time and wonderful meal at Frank's place! I moved away 5 years ago and recently moved back to PA. It's on my immediate to do list :) read more

We are a retired couple from Delaware that seasonal camp in the Pa area . We love going out and finding hidden gem taverns and restaurants. We hit the jackpot at Franks. The menu was incredible and our dinner was awesome. Such a fun friendly atmosphere and we know we will be stopping in on weekends for drinks and appetizers at the bar !! Dinner also !!! Hardworking fun employees read more

Great dry aged steaks and those pork chops. We live in Vegas but have a place at Elk Mt. And we always come to Franks. For soppresata too. read more

Again I return and everything is great. The salad, the bread and the shrimp scampi. But AGAIN.....they serve everything too fast. The appetizer comes in the middle of my salad and the main course arrives while I'm still eating my calamari. I guess that the next time I go there I will have to admonish the wait staff to SLOW DOWN read more

I love Frank's Place! It is definitely one of my all time favorite restaurants in NEPA. I am gluten free and they are incredibly accommodating to my food allergy! Thank you to the staff at Frank's Place! read more

Came here for a celebratory dinner and couldn't have been happier. Such a large menu with some vegetarian friendly options! Drink and draft list was also very encompassing. Service was absolutely phenomenal, couldn't have been better. Portions are big and delicious. Can't wait to come back read more

Frank's Place - Angelo's Pasta - Bars Near Me - Simpson, Pennsylvania

The food is always amazing and the atmosphere is comfortable. The restaurant has gotten HUGE but the quality of food and drinks hasn't changed. Our server was engaging, kind, and very welcoming. I love Frank's. I'll be back! read more

The other day I stopped in and had a chilli cheeseburger for lunch and enjoyed it very much. I came back for dinner and the Chicken picatta was amazing. Juicy and delicious and perfectly cooked. I got the carrots which were soft and sweet and melted in my mouth. Franks does not disappoint read more

I give it two stars because the ambiance was okay (we ate outside), and the service was okay, but the food - ug. Cafeteria quality at best. My mashed potatoes were from a powder mix. Seriously? What is this, Denny's? I could smell the bad salmon as the waitress was setting it down. For those of you who don't order fish, that's not good. It tasted as bad as it smelled, plus it was overcooked. Come to think of it, that was probably a good thing. No sauce for the fish, and it needed something, anything, to flavor it. The "baby carrots" were just your run of the mill grocery store bag of giant, bland carrots, shaped into smaller bland ones. They were overboiled and brown sugar flavored, no butter or seasoning, which is to say - awful. Desert was bland. Apple crisp that tasted like frozen store brand. I have no idea how this place has 4 stars or how anyone could rave about the food. If your idea of fine dining is your onion rings aren't soggy, perhaps this is your French Laundry. And lest you think I'm some food snob, I don't knock good deep fried food - I like Paulie's in Honesdale - but come on, man, most low level restaurant chains have better food than here. This was boring cafeteria food with a fancy restaurant price tag. read more

Very disappointed! Two years ago we were here and it was wonderful. We understand some things have changed and adjustments have been made, but if you can't get real potatoes, boxed instant potatoes do not serve as a good replacement without informing your customers. If you can't get enough staff cut down on the number of people you will serve. You are not doing yourself any justice when people have to wait over an hour after they order for their meals. And when 8 people order and more than 65% of what is ordered comes out wrong, that is an issue. I do hope you can make the proper adjustments to be great again. And I did not stiff the waitress, we left her $14 cash on a $89.19 bill that is over 15%. After all the issues our table had she should have sent the manager to the table, it is not my fault she didn't do that. My drink was returned, another member of my party's drink was returned, my food came out wrong, two other members food came out incorrect, one other person had to wait until some of us were over 1/2 finished with our meals before his food came out. One lady got the mushrooms she ordered for her steak topper on her salad. Some salads came out with no cucumber some with no tomato, one had to be asked for twice before it came out. Another one ordered a turkey dinner and had to ask twice for the cranberry sauce. I asked for the garlic mashed potatoes without gravy they came with gravy I said it was wrong they told me twice it would be replaced and I waited and my steak got cold waiting for my potatoes to go with it. I then had to ask again for them before they were brought. When they came they were instant boxed potatoes, not garlic mashed! They were awful! Never once were we asked if everything was ok. And you have the audacity to call me a stiff and other various names on here and in the private FB messenger! Wow! I will not be back and I want everyone to know why! read more

Never had anything bad here, food is always cooked perfectly. Plenty of options for gluten free and celiac people. Portions are very generous. Service is exceptional: we've made friends with quite a few of the staff. Always look forward to our weekly visit. Frank isn't too busy to stop by and chat with you. read more
