Hotdog combo for 7.00 including tax. Food was tasty and restaurant is clean! Yesterday I had an Italian beef. The sandwich had lots of meat and Gardania sauce , seasoned well and a drink for 10 bucks can't beat that. read more

Franky's - Fast Food Near Me - Addison, Illinois

Gr8 füd, gr8 price$! I've heard ppl complain a lil abt the prices, my advice is to try the daily & monthly specials. Was there earlier 2day 4 lunch, got a slice meal(fries & drink) for $5 & a polish w/ fries for $3! Plus tax of course, but this "Dog Stand" shudnt b compared 2 portillos, not even on da same level @ all! Wudve given 4 stars but their dog special has drastically gone up, not so special anymore. I wud still recommend this place 4 anyone in the area ;-) read more

They have a big variety and thats where its kinda a issue for quality wise but i can recommend the hotdogs, gyro, and pizza those are the best ive tried from their the burger was okay and the italian beef was also okay other than that very good atmosphere read more

Thank God for Dennis - he was huge on a catering order for my company - he was on the spot and a great help! Thank you thank you thank you!!! read more

They have one of the best, albeit that it's very messy though, eggplant Parmesan sandwiches I've ever had. I will definitely be back to try other things on their menu, and I'm looking forward to my next visit! Highly recommended. read more

Love coming here with the family to eat. Would def recommend if you're in the area for a quick bite. Their beef, green pepper and onion pizza is amazingggg and pretty much anything I get from there is awesome read more

So its Sunday Funday and the first set of games are over and were are all hungry. As usual we can't all decide on a place to go so I suggest that we try out Franky's down the street cause it looked like it had a fairly large menu. As it turns out the menu was large but the food was just ok. We got a couple of different things including the hotdog special, gyro special, chicken parm sammie, and the philly cheese steak. The hotdogs were good and so was the gyro. The tzatziki was nice with a good garlic kick. On the downside the chicken parm was mostly bread and was just missing flavor and the philly was a bit on the dry side. On a side note the cheese side for the fries didn't taste like anything....kinda strange. So not bad but not good. I guess the pizza is supposed to be good but I don't know if I have bring myself to order a pizza from a hotdog joint. Oh and another thing they don't take credit cards so don't forget to bring cash. read more

They are nice and yummy food. The hot dogs are really good, burgers are yummy. The fries are just the best. Never had a bad experience here.

Definitely a must stop every time I'm back home. After all these years the food and service has remained! Well done frankys! Always a first and multiple stop on my visits home. Don't pass this place up read more

Food especially hot dog prices are ridiculous, ordered a gyro , hardly any meat on pita. will not go back, ill stay in city where hot dog specials are still $5-6.00 not $10. its lunch by time you order food items, next thing you know your buying crook county lunch as well with the fricken tax. no thanks read more

Ordered a pizza for pick up 30 minutes they said and it was ready exactly right on time! The pizza smelled good,looked great and taste delicious! All the toppings you want on your pizza (18inch)it is for the same price ($15.50) except extra cheese($1.50) more but heck for the price of $17.00 for dinner on a Sunday night for our family it was well worth going to Franky's! I have been here a few times over several years now, and the food always has been very good!! Either there is so much food on the menu it seems like that Franky's has,or I just can't make up my mind...It is so hard to decide which next to try... The cleanliness of the place was very good you can tell it is well kept just by taking a short glance! read more

first time coming to this place and i was mortified by their awful customer service. i walked in, started to place an order for 3 slices and before i could tell the employee behind the counter which slices he took a phone order. when i was finally able to tell him which slices he proceeded to tell me that he had just sold one of the slices i wanted. i asked him if it was for the phone order he took, even though i was there first, he said yes and he made no attempts to apologize or to try and salvage my business that he literally just lost. hope that one slice was worth the sell because i will never attempt to do business here again. read more

Price on pizza is kinda over what it should be. Plus I eat like nothing but pizza and I didn't care for it. Sauce tasted funny then allergic reaction from mold. Nope it's the sauce if your wondering been tested I'm not allergic to any cheeses. So mold wow bye no second chances read more

Franky's Red Hots is a small eatery with a wide variety of menu items located off of Lake Street in Addison. The inside is clean, there's a fair amount of seating, and parking available. In visiting Franky's I decided to try the hot dog with everything. The hot dog came on a soft non-poppy seed bun. The pickle included was nicely thinly cut and had a nice flavor to it. The sport peppers on the dog weren't too hot and were a great compliment to overall flavor. The hot dog itself was skinless but was properly steamed and had a very good flavor to it. The mustard, relish and onion were all good and were evenly applied and had just the right amount of each to have the proper flavor balance. The tomato slices were thin and while not covering the whole dog were spread out enough to get tomato in every bite. Below the hot dog was a small helping of fries, the fries were fairly bland, not too greasy or too salty, but not particularly flavorful either. What's notable about Franky's is that outside of the lack of a poppy seed bun this is a pretty good representation of what a Chicago style hot dog is and should be. Even more surprising was the price, the dog with fries was only around 2.70 with tax. Overall, I'd recommend Franky's a very solid hot dog with a good price. read more

Come here if you want to feel robbed. Skinniest hot dog I ever saw. I went up and requested an exchange as there was no meat in my bun. They argued with me for a while then offered to give me an Italian sausage. They gave me a sample of what's on the pizza but it was extremely greasy. I finally told them I just wanted my money back and they refused. I left the food sitting there. Definitely don't go here. Go to Dr. Dogs in Roselle. The food is better...the fries are fresh and don't taste frozen. read more

I LOVE COMING HERE!! I seriously love their pizza and I go here a little too much. Everything for the most part is reasonable and affordable. The staff is friendly and the place is usually clean. No complaints here but one time I assume the employee was new or confused, maybe didn't understand me but they didn't ask me to repeat what I said when I profoundly ordered a pizza meal, I later end up getting a pizza puff? I was so confused because it was not what I ordered but it was good regardless. My friend loved it. Love Franky's. read more

So you get your hot dog, and fries, and drink. Let's say $8 total. You forgot to bring cash. You pull out your trusty debit or credit card, and lean to the swiper. The cashier stops you and says "It has to go through for $10, and then I'll give you change in cash." What? I don't know what backwards-facing electronic funds solution that they're using, but they severely need an upgrade. However, you're hungry, you don't want to drive to McDonalds, so you say "sure, whatever. I want my hot dog." You swipe, and the machine notifies you that it will be yet ANOTHER $1 for a transaction fee. Seriously? But you're hungry, so whatever. The food doesn't look bad, and ... seriously, you're hungry. You bite into your food that is, along with much of the decor, reminiscent of Portillo's, and are disappointed. Even in your hunger, you recognize second-rate hot dogs. And those sound good right about now. If I've been unclear. Don't go. IHOP is 24Hrs and down the street. Ask for Dio. He's awesome. Franky ... not so much. read more

Okay, so tonight we were in the mood for some 'za, yes, I said 'za, deal with it. Franky's has good prices on pizza normally, and Fridays they're even better -- you can get an 18" thin crust for under $12, tax included, with unlimited toppings. Yep. All the toppings you want on a piping hot giant pizza for less than $12. Now, my husband being the hungry 20-something he is, we went for the 18" instead of the 16" (which is 10.50 on Fridays). And, somehow, we managed to eat the whole thing. The sauce was just right, the cheese was stretchy and salty, the pepperoni and garlic (hey, we both had it) were plentiful... It was yummy. The crust around the edges was perfect; it was a little soft in the middle. That was my only small complaint -- I wished for a somewhat crisper crust. Perhaps they needed to leave it in the oven another minute, I don't know. However, for the bargain price it is, and the fact that you can choose whatever weird combination of toppings you like (even halvesies) -- this is a great Friday night dinner. Or other nights for that matter! One tip we should have thought of -- it takes about 20 minutes for the pizza to cook. So If that's all you want, or you're in a hurry, calling ahead is suggested. read more

I think this place is great. My parents and my friends and i always order pizza from here. It's a good deal for the price and they don't gouge you for extra toppings. The beef is amazing. With that said, I don't understand the negative reviews. This is a greasy fast food place. If you want "quality " food, go to a restaurant! This is a fast food/greasy spoon and if you're eating here, then you should know what to expect; much like if you're eating at Pizza Hut or McDonald's you know what you're ordering, and you know what kind of food to expect. If you're in the mood for pizza or a 12" beef and don't want to spend a lot of $ than this place is for you. If you're the type of person that's scared of eating at places like Taco Bell, then you should probably check out the pizza restaurant across the street. read more

Horrible. Does not want. Their ranch tasted like NOTHING and their gyro was nothing to write home about. Plus they only take cash!? WUT!? read more

Love this place. I usually get their cheeseburgers because I love a good griddled burger. Not to mention it comes with fresh lettuce, tomato, and onion on a great bun. A co-worker raved about their chicken gyros, so I tried one last time and loved that too. They also give you a whole heap of fries in an order, enough for 2 people to share. The staff is always super friendly and they seem to have a lot of regulars. It's also very clean too. They take credit cards now so that's a non issue anymore. read more

I have great memories of going to Franky's when I was a kid. Of course, back then it was part of the Tommy's chain. In all my years of going here I've only had the hot dogs, italian beef, and gyros, even though the selection of food is much greater than just this. The hotdog special is a good deal, and comes with two Chicago dogs, fries and a drink. The dogs are pretty good, made in the typical Chicago manner, but sometimes tend to be a little soggy especially if you get them as take out. The italian beef is OK, but I prefer Portillo's. I really like the gyros sandwich. They give you a generous portion of lamb and toss it on the grill for a few minutes to crisp it up a bit. There is so much lamb meat that I usually need to take some off before I'm able to fold the pita to eat it. The tomatoes and onions are fresh and they slather on a good amount of cucumber sauce. The only drawback is that because they grill the meat for you, the whole thing tends to be pretty greasy. I have to admit that there are better Chicago eateries around, and this place would get five stars...if they were still Tommy's. Back then the food was a little better and the service a little friendlier. With that being said, the food is still pretty good and still I love to go here to get my fix when I go home to Chicago. 3.5 stars, rounded up to four. read more

Alot of morons here giving reviews for stupid reasons. Seriously criticizing ranch dressing!!!?? Why are you at this type of place getting ranch dressing on anything??!! I hear alot of crap about people complaining about that they do not take cards or have to pay a fee. Well Hello! The ma and pa hot dog, pizza, and beef places do not take cards usually you idiot!! Some of the best places do not take cards. Now onto the food, the only thing I had from there is their pizza. Which was quite delicious for a suburban place. The crust was good, the sauce was good, and the toppings where wholesome. We (me and work people) got pizza with as much toppings as we wanted for a deal, and the toppings were quite good. Compared to Chicago Pizza joints this would be three stars, but for a suburban pizza joint it is quite good. People, please do not yelp about stupid things, concentrate on the food, and only the main food, not Ranch dressing!!!! read more

This is the place I run to when I have nothing to eat at home and I'm starving. The food is okay. I always get the gyros. The food is greasy and their fries taste like jalapenos, but it gets the job done. The huge problem I have with this place is how expensive this place is. I bought two gyros and two large fries. Guess how much it was: $18! Really? I could get better food for that price. Like I said earlier, I only go here if I'm in a bind, and I need to eat soon. Don't go here unless you have to. There are better options in this area. read more

AlwAys quality food here been going here 20yrs plus they have a great team working there as well friendly staff, Definetly beats any fast food around town read more

Have to admit I was a little skeptical ordering ribs from a place that sells hot dogs however they were amazing !!! Sauce was outstanding and they fell right off the bone. Fries, coleslaw and garlic bread was a bonus. Great value and exceptional taste for 15.95 read more

I recently had to move from the western 'burbs to Las Vegas and one place I'll miss more than anything will be Franky's. I first started going there when I lived in Addison for a couple years. Then as I moved farther away- Glendale Heights, then Naperville- I'd always make the trek back to Franky's on the weekends about once a week on average. The things that kept me coming back were the delicious Chicago food classics and the friendly staff. Franky's serves the best Gyros I've ever had- and I don't say that lightly. Gyros is probably my favorite sandwich ever and I've had it at dozens of places across Chicagoland. Franky's is the best - bar none. The thing that makes it a standout at Franky's is they toss the gyros meat on the grill for a few minutes after cutting it off the spit. This gives the meat a great crispy edge and releases the juices inside. Put it on a pita with perfect sauce and loads of onions and I'm a very happy boy. I'm also a huge burger fan and Franky's turns out a superior double cheese burger as well. They have a flame grill so you get that nice char on the patties. It's awesome. As for the dogs- they are classic Chicago style dogs. Can you find better elsewhere? Yes, but you can't beat the value of their daily hot dog basket deal. The guys behind the counter have always been top notch too. Always upbeat and welcoming- and Fast! My only hope is with the way that area is rapidly evolving with all the new construction and expansion of chain places like Portillo's and Al's, Franky's can stay afloat. I'd hate to make it back there in a few years and find them replaced by a new strip mall or worse yet, another taco stand as seems to be the trend. read more

BEST PIZZA AROUND!!! Cheese is amazing and I love that they offer free topping ingredients for the pizzas. We order from here all the time and are never disappointed. Thank you Franky's!!!!!! read more

Found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. Sunday is the gyros special so I had that. It was delicious. The fries that came with it were excellent as well. Overall a great place to go for lunch. read more

Amazing gyros- i have been eating here since I have been about 6yrs old and we would always stop by for the gyros. Since then, the place has changed (for the better) and i moved but i still stop by when i am in the neighborhood. read more

Greatest customer service I've ever received thank you for the awesome food and great experience. Sorry about the spill and thank you so much for the kindness read more

I feel like I am being generous here with the third star. There's simply nothing memorable here. The place is decent looking, the food is okay, prices are good, but nothing stands out to make you want to come back. We tried the two hotdog special (not bad!) and the beef ("meh"). I also ordered iced tea and got raspberry tea instead because apparently that's all they have...would have been nice to have been told that when I SPECIFICALLY asked if they had ICED TEA. Oh well. You live, you learn, you hopefully don't repeat your mistakes twice. P.S. If you want to use a debit card, it'll cost you a dollar. I don't really care, but some of you cheapskates may. With all that extra dough I just saved you, you can get A pack of gum. Or some crap from the Dollar Store if you have some pennies to spare. You're welcome. read more

As everyone is learning, i am a gyro freak. frankys is hands down the best gyro i have ever had around the country. i eat here atleast twice a week if not more and always get the gyro. if you are in Addison and hungry and dont go to frankys, you are insane and should be locked up. get to frankys and get the Gyro Value pack! the best gyro around. best food, best prices. from fries to ribs - all the best read more

Franky's Red Hots is a purveyor of standard Chicago classic foods like hot dogs, pizzas and italian beef sandwiches at a very affordable price. It's impressive that this day in age you can get two hot dogs fries, and a beverage for $4. Definately delivering on the value here. They have some good daily specials on sandwich combos, and a very unusual pricing structure on their pizza pies. They use flat-rate pricing on their pizzas where for $12 you can get pizza and pile on unlimited numbers of toppings. I thought that was noteworthy, but I didn't try it and will have to try it upon a return trip to the area. After having an italian beef sandwich in the Minneapolis area just a mere week before, I found that they did deliver a superior product to what I had before. The beef was extremely tender, the gravy was ample and the bread was very fresh. The hot peppers were also the epitome of what I have come to expect in enjoying these Chicago delicacies. I got a lot of food for $7, and would recommend this to anyone out who is searching for a one-stop shop serving all of the foods that have made Chicago famous. read more

I like Franky's. I've been going there since I was a kid for hotdogs. Thought it was the best in the world. But that was before I started widening my territory and tried other places that were much better. Still, I have a soft spot for Franky's. It's still there after so many years and the food is still much better than a lot of grease pits I've had the displeasure of sampling. It's the usual grease pit food, and the selection is huge. They have the regular fare: hot dogs, gyros, greasy french fries, italian beef. They also have pizza and ribs, though I've never tried. Prices are reasonable. You'll end up paying less than $5 for a hot dog meal, which is two hot dogs, fries, and a drink. The hot dogs are decent but a bit on the soggy side, so you really have to eat them right away or they lose their freshness. That's the only problem I found with them. read more

I'll put it like this... For a $14 18" pizza with unlimited toppings, the place is wonderful. I wouldn't write home about the taste, but for the value it's very hard to beat. I was expecting something on par with Domino's or Little Caesar's, but I got an actual pizza with good flavor and good ingredients. I wouldn't go there to impress anyone, but for $14, I get a pretty good pizza and I have leftovers for a few days. I order here every couple of weeks because I work close-by and it fits in my budget. read more

So went there spent $45 got 4 gyros and wings. sauce on the side for the gyros get home we only have 2 sauces so I call and ask if I can bring the food back and they replace it so I can eat warm food that I spent $45 on instead he offers me a $5 credit (keep in mind a gyro alone cost about $9 unless it's Sunday) so I say you can't even buy 1 gyro for that so he says ok I can do $5.50 seriously they make sure to charge you 50 cents a sauce but then don't give it to you the manager there needs to go to a customer service class. Poor experience and we normally go once a week and spend $40 to $50 not anymore will be taking my business elsewhere!!!! read more

First time being here. Placed my order, got to check out and they stated their credit card machine wasn't working. I didn't have cash on me. The manager on duty was on the phone with the company to fix the machine and was incredibly rude to me about it Being the nice person I am I hopped into my car and trecked to the bank. Came back to pay for my food. He was still on the phone and still incredibly rude. Finally got my food and I mentioned he should tell the people taking orders to alert people that the machine was broken. He made some snarky comment and turned his back to me. I will never go back to this place after being treated like that and for the overpriced crappy gyros they make. read more
