Gyros are awesome and big order. Their rib special on Saturday is also really good. Haven't tied much else yet.

Best pizza deal in the western burbs. Got an extra large(they only have (lg/xl) for $21 plus tax and it was great. I grew up on south side where pizza is the best and Frankys rivaled my experiences at Fasanos, Palermo's and Vito & nicks....Don't be fooled by what's sitting out in the heater because that pizza is sliced in un-American....I mean NY style. The whole pizzas at Frankys are sliced correctly in squares. read more

Every once in a while I get a taste for a hot dog or a gyro. Franky's is the place I like to go to. Prices are reasonable. Food is great and prepared quick. If I'm in need of a solid meal, I can count on one from Franky's. Usually I grab a hot dog or gyro, but I hear the ribs and pizza are great too. If you are passing through Addison on Lake st. Stop in! Its also a good place to grab some food before the movies over at Marcus Addison read more

Sad to say this is my last time at frankys in Addison the quality and customer service has changed. I have been going here for years and lately since they have opened a second location it seems like the quality and service at Addison location have gone way down. I believe in the three strike rule and can say after today they are OUT. I think even the owner knows there is a problem because I over heard him yelling at the staff on a piss poor job that they were doing in preparing the food and said it is not like that at the other location. Hope one day he realizes that he is loosing business in Addison to gain it in their new location. I ordered the ribs an didn't even get everything that comes with the meal. Also the ribs were not slabs they were hacked up pieces from several slabs. And I asked for a cup of sauce on the side paid for it but yea they didn't include it and this is not the first time. The guys taking your order seem to write it down but if you are not checking your whole order before you leave be prepared to get partial orders and when you confront them about it they say oh sorry didn't know or I didn't charge u for it. FOLKS TAKE MY ADVICE As a local that has lived in Addison for many years take your business to where they pay attention to what you are buying and take the time to prepare it with quality. And do not give u attitude when you say something. read more

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!! I am a frequent customer here so this experience is extremely upsetting to me. I ordered a cheeseburger with everything and NO bun as I'm not eating carbs. Got my order and pulled away. Opened it up only to find there was no plastic ware. How the heck are you supposed to eat this with no plastic ware. Frustrated, I called and got Franky. I told him what I ordered, he was familiar with the order, then told him I didn't get a fork and knife. He said 'did you ask for one'? I said are you kidding me? I ordered a cheeseburger with NO bun, how am I supposed to eat this? He said ' well I wasn't working the window so I have no idea'! Great job accepting responsibility there 'Owner'!!!! Will be finding somewhere else to spend my money. Horrible customer service!!!!! read more

I went to Frankie's yesterday and ordered the pepperoni pizza....I am a huge fan of pizza and thought this particular pie was tasty but too doughy. I prefer a New York style of pizza and one that I can fold over. The cheese tastes pretty good though. The service at Frankie's is really fast. You start at the left side of the restaurant and by the time you are done paying they have the food ready...this is a good thing. The interior of the business is kind of like a normal fast food joint. Wish the seats were more comfy.... My overall experience was just mediocre. I am going to come back and try the Italian Beef next time. I hear that is pretty good. read more

We order regularly from Franky's and we are usually happy with the food and service. I cant say the same about our experience last night. Some of the ingredients on the pizza were wrong and when i called to notify them there was no apology for the error. Just said you can come and get a new pizza or we can give you 1/2 off next time. When you make a mistake like that on an order, you should apologize, offer to deliver the correct pizza or provide a pizza at no cost next time. That would be what I consider good customer service. Disappointing read more

This place is a no no! The pizza I had here was just old and the cheese was really dried up. This was my second time here and I just did not like it at all. The last time I came here i had a hot dog and it tasted like an Oscar Mayer hot dog... I really don't recommend this place at all. read more

I've been here at least 30 times and always came back because the older women at the register was very kind and if I had a problem with my order she would redo it with no attitude , I always order a gyro with easy meat extra sauce no tomato with onions and one day I came in and this young women who has been there for a while must have been training another young girl took my order and I repeated my order three times well it must have pissed her off cuz she rolled her eyes at me but I tried telling her every time I order my gyro I want it a special way she snaps at me and says she's got it ! I get my gyro go home open the bag and no surprise it's not what I wanted so I call back and she answers and yes I'm pissed so I say this is not what I fucking ordered and you told me you got it and you even rolled you're eyes at me hmmmm won't be going there any more some people are just so rude read more

Seems tough to find a good place for gyros around here. So far I've been very happy with the quality at Franky's. A tad on the greasy side but I'd much rather have that than a dry one. The fries are decent too. read more

In the year 2013, all fast food places take visa. Not this place. Went there for the first time. Put a order in and got to the line to pay. Tried to give my visa to pay and was told cash or use a little a.t.m. I don't have cash and use my card all the time. They also wants charge a dollar to pay for the food. Wtf. I will not be back. read more

This is my second go-around at this place. The first time I tried the hot dog. It was nasty. they say they use Red Hot Chicago, which is my favorite brand of dog, but if they do, yuck, they cook it really badly. This time I tried the italian beef combo which came with fries and a drink. I paid almost $8.00 for it. I then find out all beefs are $2.50 all day Monday....Gee, maybe I already feel ripped off? Anyway, I figure, maybe the sandwich will be so awesome I won't care. WRONG ANSWER. YUCK YUCK AND YUCK! The beef was THICK and didn't even seem cooked and had about zero flavor. I had my friend who was with me try some of the meat to see if it was me perhaps. First thing I heard was YUCK! I threw it out and had the drink for lunch. I went up to get a refill, which by the way was 50 cents. Seriously? I would give this place ZERO STARS if I could. YUCK. Go to Nana's across the street. Cheaper, better and EATABLE! And they take cash only.......ummmm I don't like to carry cash. Another negative for this place. Never again, I'd rather starve! read more

Great Pizza the girls aren't bad either also you can get a full slab of ribs on certain days.

Normally a good spot if you go with something fried or the hotdog deal. Tried a turkey sub last time I went and the turkey was slimy and rotten. Disgusting. Don't order anything out of the norm. read more

Very good prices but no portillos here. Food is just alright.

Gyros here are awesome cheese fries are awesome.....had the pizza it's legit . Hot dogs are good overall the place is really good for the price read more

The pizza here is the best. Fresh ingredients and the owner Franky goes above and beyond. I truly appreciate the level of customer service provided. Although it's a little bit of a distance it's so worth it! read more

Love it here. Generous portions and less expensive than Portillo's, plus close to home. I go specifically for the Gyros which are very good. I'm a fan. Make sure you have cash on you. read more

We have been going to Franky's for years and never had a problem. Now the service has been failing. It seams like at least ever other take out order is wrong. Very irritating! read more

The food was o.k. I really don't think we will be returning though. It say's that the store accepts credit cards on this yelp page, but it does not really. There are signs throughout the store (not on the door before you enter) saying they accept cash only. They do have a interesting ATM attached to the cash register, that charges $1, but that dollar in my opinion, seems to go right back to the restaurant. Didn't seem very fair to charge customers that dollar. I'd rather go to portillo's and pay the same prices that franky's charges for what seems to be better food, and better customer service. read more

I love this place. Had the ribs for the first time, and like everything else on the menu I was not disappointed. Coleslaw that came with the meal was soggy, but I'm not a fan of it anyway so I could care less about that. read more

Long time customer, but will never go back after being talked to the way I was by the manager. They messed up our order and very boldly told us it was our fault over the phone. read more

Got the Wednesday specials, not at all a special and yup, they take only cash or Debit Card with a $1 charge.

Very fresh hot Dogs. Will be back. The workers are very nice also and clean. They have a lot of variety. also they keep late hours. And the Prices are good read more

Having just had hot dogs the day before, I decided to try their italian beef thinking it would be just as good as their hot dogs and gyros. Blahhh! The beef was wayyyyy too salty. It is also very thickly cut, which I'm not a fan of. My boyfriend said it tasted like the frozen stuff and I'd have to agree with that. My sandwich barely had any cheese in it and only the end that was touching the foil was dipped. It was so bad that I couldn't finish it. I'll keep this rating at 3 stars only because their hot dogs and gyros are really good but for italian beef, I'll definitely be going to Portillos. I may have to pay a little more there, but it's worth it and I feel satisfied at the end. read more

How did I not know about Frankie's before? This is an outstanding greasy spoon/beef joint that I highly recommend for personnel lunch. The 4th star would be easy to give but no credit cards accepted and the $1.00 to use debit machine in front of the register screams of scam. I've eaten there 3 more times since I first tried it but sad to say, I doubt I'd bring the family unless I had the cash on me. read more

If in Addison, Illinois and at lunch time, a good fast food joint is Frankys Red Hots, on Lake Street in Addison, Il. The dinning area appears clean and based on the fact the many police officers eat lunch there I would say its clean. The Hot Dog Special, 2 dogs, fries and a medium drink for $5.00 is a great deal, especially for the kids. The hamburgers and beef sandwiches are also very good. Service is fast, not a long wait if your on the run. For Fast Food , I say its A-OK read more

Great hot dog combo deal. Great Italian beefs. Extremely reasonable. Great Chicken gyros. These are real Chicago hot dogs, not like nannys across the street. read more

The best place for their deals. The hot dog meal deal and rib meal deal Saturdays are the best. However, save your money on the Philly cheesesteak and subs because Jersey Mike's makes it better. Pizza is a great deal and any topping is free to add. Right near movie theater, so it's a great alternative to overpriced food so you can save it for drinks at their bar there. The best gyro in town. It's sad to see so many dry, thin and tasteless gyro places. read more

Decent neighborhood place for made to order fast food. Not a place for healthier eating but food not overly greasy. Have tried the ribs, grilled chicken breast sandwich, gyros, hot dog special and pizza. Average taste and service. Nice place to stop in for a quick bite or take home. Would return in the future. read more

Best burgers! The pizza rocks also! :-)

Brought the fam to eat here. Quite impressed with the menu they offer and the prices. Food was great, friendly staff, the mostaccoli is great considering from a fast food joint! Gyro was awesome. . I will be back! read more

So we went to the chiropractor and a few doors down was Franky's Red Hots my son was hungry and asked to eat here I have never been to Frankys so I was like sure let's give it a try, my son wanted pizza, they have a Kids Menu that has pizza and drink for $5 bucks so I told the guy I would like the kids meal pizza, I ordered myself a chicken Cesar salad simple enough and added some mozzarella sticks and my daughter ordered a chicken gyro sandwich nothing else checked out total was $32. Bucks For some crappy food. I was extremely disappointed with the salad no croutons some packet of cheese and super dry chicken, my daughter took one bite of the gyro and hated it I don't know what type of sauce they put to me seemed like some mayo mix with butter no flavor and a teaspoon of it. The only thing that was good were the mozzarella/cheese sticks. Also felt that I over paid for what I ordered I go to ask for a detail of my order they guy could not give me the detail prices that I was charged long story short he charged me for a regular adult meal for my sons kids meal. All I can say is I could have ate way better at Portillos for less. Save your money the food is definitely not worth the e price. read more

Best gyros around bar none! They obviously use a good quality meat and have the right sauce. Pizza is amazing for a hot dog joint. Think Garibaldis taste but a little thicker and less greasy. The hot dogs are second to none. I'm going there right now to gorge on everything I can fit into my stomach! read more

Frankys is an good place for a quick lunch. Fast service. They have a 2 hot dog special with fries for $5.75. It's not the best hot dog, but not the worst. It comes with all the usual condiments. The gyros are also O.K. Not the best or the worst. The meat is good, lots of onion and tomato, the cucumber sauce is a little watery. The pizza is a good thin crust, nice flavor but a little greasy. Having to pay only with cash is a pain. read more

I enjoy going to get a hot dog at Frankie's once in a while. But a few things... One, the service is intimidating. If you aren't a regular and don't know the code names, you look like an idiot! Second the fries are just ok nothing special, but when it comes to getting a hot dog shouldn't it have above average fries?! Third the buns can be dry at times. Other than that it's worth a try, maybe you'll have a better experience than me! read more

I've been been going to Frankie's for a long time. The food is always good and it's always hot. The prices are reasonable and the workers are always very friendly. My only complaint is that they are the last retailer in the world that do not take credit/debit. Well, sort of. There is a machine on the counter that allows you to pay with a cc but there is an additional sur charge, which is bizarre to me. I routinely don't go there simply because I normally don't carry cash on me and I refuse to pay extra to use a cc. However, if you have cash in your pocket and are hungry, I would recommend going read more

Stopped here for lunch the other day. I did not find the place very clean - and coming from a guy I guess that says something. Food was alright, but nothing special. Service, considering there was no body else in the place, was rather slow. read more

I'm all for supporting local businesses, but I have a major beef with Franky's Red Hot's. It's the hot dogs, they are terrible. I have read good reviews for other items on the menu, but when you have "Red Hot's" in your name, it doesn't matter how good the rest of menu is, your hot dogs better be fantastic! For this reason, I give Franky's a 1 star. Franky's doesn't appear to be using natural casing hot dogs or are over cooking their dog's. They are mushy, a good dog should have a nice snap to it from the natural casing. If they are just using regular dog's like you can pickup at walmart, there's not much point in going out for a dog. I'm not sure whats wrong with the bun's, but they are not up to par either. No joke, I make better dog's at home. The obvious reason an establishment would chose to go skinless is cost, it's cheaper to get skinless dogs. If I'm going out for a dog, I don't want whatever was the cheapest meat that was available. That's not to say you can't get good quality skinless dogs (Portillo's for example, has a Jumbo Dog that is skinless and it's pretty good). Speaking of Portillo's, there's one a mile down the street, which mean's there's no reason to get a dog at Franky's given the vastly superior quality at Portillo's. Nana's had fantastic dog's, but moved a bit further down the street to Elmhurst (just past RT 83). I hate to give a local business a 1 star, but Franky's has got to fix their dogs, it's a disgrace. Fix your dog's and I'll be ecstatic to fix your score. read more

We went there a couple of nights ago about a half an hour before they closed. We were really hungry after a long drive. When we got there, there were only two tables in there. So we ordered our food. When we got our order they had put it in a to-go bag. I was really really hungry. And I wanted to eat there. So I told the guy that was mopping, "I would like to eat here, I'm so hungry." But the guy was like, "Well, we close in ten minutes." I looked at the clock, it was 9:40! He just wanted to get out by 10 pm, I'm assuming. I'm like, "I don't care, I'm starving." He looked like he was annoyed. But I really didn't care. I bought the food there, so, we should be allowed to eat it there. Plus, there were two tables still eating there! Also, how long does it take someone to eat a sandwich? Maybe ten minutes. By that point, my sis was upset and said she didn't wanna stay there and eat. I understood her, and would have felt bad if I kept eating my food there. So we just left. First of all, food was ok. It was not bad. But, I don't think we will be returning because of the service they gave us. Secondly, they really need to keep up with the cleanliness of that place. Bathroom was dingy and disgusting. I'm giving this place two stars only because of the food.....Average. There is a place just down the street that I will drive a lil further down, just to avoid going back to "Franky's". They should really work on their service. read more
