You want the best variety of hot dogs in the state? You found it in Frankz. Don't forget to add on the Betsie Fries. You will not regret the extra carbs. Hard core foodie from Detroit approves! Also the full bar and alcohol to go isn't a bad touch being right near the beach. read more

Stopped in here at 3 pm on a Thursday afternoon on a whim. I was surprised there were some people in there, simply because of the time. After eating, I understand why! We spilt the gyro egg rolls and an order of Frankz fries (chili cheese fries). Both were amazing! The fries weren't too greasy and had the perfect amount of chili and shredded cheese. The gyro egg rolls reminded me of a mix between a gyro and Philly cheesesteak. The tzatziki made it though. The service was friendly and when I asked about the chili, they offered a sample. They were also quick and checked on us while eating. If you ever find yourself in Frankfort, this is a must. I wish I lived closer so I could eat here regularly! read more

Fun spot in a great location! Really enjoyed the hospitality and quick service. Place was clean, well set up, and had TV's everywhere.

We had so much fun grabbing a beer and people-watching at Frankz! Everyone was so friendly. The option to take a drink to go is awesome, as well. Will definitely be back! read more

Love the variety. Anything on a hot dog and we got best seat in the house (under DRW banner). Great quick meal!

Fun sports themed "diner" atmosphere. I think they specialize in hot dogs of different varieties but my wife and I ordered two gyros and a side of onion rings. I was curious about the "Man Dip" they had (which is just about the best cheese dip I've ever tried) and they gave me a free sample cup with a spoon I asked for another side for the Orings and they hooked me up for free. The food was good. But it was the service that had me. One of the managers, I assume, brought me and my wife a complimentary glass of this local Michigan produced vodka and berries mixed drink, on the house. It was delicious. Other than that; twice did someone come to our table to ensure we were taken care of. It's a cool little spot to come in and eat. Great atmosphere, great customer service. That's what's up. read more

We had an amazing take-out dinner last night from Frankz to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday. It made us all so happy. We loved the crispy wings with BBQ sauce, crispy fries and onion rings, and of course our Frankz natural casing dogs with the works!! The service was extremely friendly with a smile -- and was prepared right on time. We walked the beach after dinner and saw a few others happily eating their Frankz on the beach! We always visit Frankz when we're in town, and will be back next year! read more

Hot dogs, fries and gyros, oh my!!! This is a great place right on Main Street for people of all ages. Our 4 yr old and 2 yr old love the fries and the hot dogs. I'm a sucker for their deluxe gyro. The staff is always so friendly and the service is fast. They were also voted #1 fries in Michigan!!! It's a must to add some of their famous man dip on them. You won't regret a great Northern Michigan summer lunch at Frankz. read more

Friendly atmosphere, decent food, great service. We tried two of the dogs, and both were good. The man dip is excellent, it resembles a white chili with bits of sausage. Only complaint is that the hot dog meat was low-end and small. I'd recommend they upgrade to higher quality beef or sausage franks, something like the Member's Mark quarter pound beef franks. Overall, we'll go again sometime. read more

Awesome place for a quick bite. Rumor has it you will be able to get a beer with your Dog Yay! Hot dogs are awesome and fries are to die for. read more

Probably my favorite "bar" in Frankfort now that they have liquor. It's pronounced "Franks" but I'll always call it "Frank Z's" -- the staff is awesome and the food is absolutely amazing. The fries are insanely good -- you'd be hard pressed to find better anywhere else. I've actually never had a hotdog here, but I'm sure they're great. Some places in northern Michigan don't seem to want your business but this place does -- they've won mine and I'll be stopping in whenever I'm in town. read more

Frankz is the perfect spot for a quick lunch or dinner.,Swing in grab a hotdog and some fries, And keep exploring the rest of the cute beach style town. read more

Pay them a visit, you won't regret it. Best fries around. Order the betsie fries if you haven't been here before. Not a high end restaurant but more of a neighborhood mainstay. Quick service, clean, nice facility. You can tell they take care of place. Not cheap but not super expensive either. Hot dogs are not gourmet style, think more a basic dog with a wide variety of toppings. get one with "mandip". I would spring for $1 upgrade to an all beef dog. I'm October 2020, they started doing fish fry on Fri/Sat that is awesome. Great lakes perch, battered just right. 5 pieces + 1/2 lb fried for $1. Full bar. Red Snapper mixed drink special is good choice: crown royal, cranberry, grenadine I believe. read more

What a find! Frankz is a local jem! Met the owner Joey & talked all about great food! The perch fish fry was spectacular, the gyro egg rolls where off the chain & their bloody marys where outstanding! Freshest food in town, definitely recommend & will be back! #frankfortlocaldinning read more

Great service and great food!!! Owner Joey is super friendly and gave us tips on other local businesses that he recommends. Bestie fries are indeed worthy of award. The gyro egg rolls were fabulous too. They even have some cool local beers/ciders and full bar. read more

This is a good place to stop for a quick bite to eat in downtown Frankfort. They have mostly hot dogs but the veggie gyro is very good also. Good food and atmosphere. Although, the music selection when we were eating there was odd. I have nothing against Disney music, just thought it was unusual for it to be playing in a restaurant. read more

Fast service and friendly staff are plusses. Standard fast food. No hand sanitizer stations to be found and shared pens used are negatives. They advertise their COVID related food service training but my impression that they are doing the minimum in comparison to the venues in Frankfort. read more

Being a former Detroiter, I am particular about my Coney. This place was every bit as good,if not better! Super friendly staff, loads of choices and delicious,crispy fries. I'll be back! read more

Couldn't say enough about my family's experience here! The owner is fantastic!! Such hospitality. The food was delicious. I could not recommend this place more. We will definitely be back here again whenever we're back in town visiting ! read more

I would encourage a visit to this business when in the area. Delicious food and outstanding fries!!! Dine in is available and Carry out is available with the beach or park nearby to enjoy your meal. The response to my prior review was exceptionally professional from this business and they made changes to best serve their customers. Very impressive!!! read more

Randomly walked in tonight bc other venue was packed. So glad I did!!! Staff was friendly and my tacos were AMAZING!!! I'll definitely be going back! read more

Expensive hotdogs. You'll need deep pockets when dining here. Four hotdogs, three soft drinks and an order of chicken wings - just over $40.00. read more

Love the vibe of this restaurant! The employees were extremely friendly and the music was great. The chili was super yummy and not spicy. I had the gyro, which was loaded with meat and taziki sauce. The value of the food was excellent and makes for a great lunch spot. read more

The service is really good and smooth. The restaurant is well decorated with Michigan college memorabilia and other sports decorations. I ordered a Chicago style hotdog. The hotdog wiener is not as thick as I thought it would be, but the flavor is pretty good. I ordered the Chicago style hotdog, which probably isn't their strong suit. The bun was grocery store quality, the poppyseeds were not attached to the bun well, and looked like they were sprinkled on. Other than that, it's good read more

This is a great place in Frankfort going on its third season. They has some growing pains early, but now are doing very well. Simple menu, good, inexpensive food, and now with beer. Hurray! Gets pretty busy at certain times but the line moves much more quickly than at other places in town. Great for families and folks on a budget who want a no-frills meal. Fills a good niche in this resort town that can get awfully crowded now that it has been discovered. Just don't tell too many people out it, :-) read more

This could be the best example of employees rising to the occasion. They're working their butts off for way too many shifts but still seem to be having fun. Ask them "what was that salad you just made" and they all chimed in with a description and how it's "the best ever". When your staff has that much fun you know you've done something right. The food is awesome, btw. Joey, I know you're proud. You should be read more

If you are looking for some great hot dogs on the M22 route, this is the place to go. We ordered the Chicago dogs and they were true to Chicago with natural casing dogs, celery salt, poppy seed buns and "dragged through the garden". We tried the Betsie fries and they were totally fantastic! They were topped with "man sauce", melted cheddar and green onions. The owner and staff were friendly and quick with our order. Truly a great new eatery in downtown Frankfort. We WILL be back! read more

After reading the outstanding reviews here on yelp, we decided to give Frank's a try. When we walked in, at 4 o'clock on a Thursday, the empty seats should have been enough of a warning. But we ordered anyway. And very soon had serious regrets. The hotdogs are horrible. The toppings are average, but the hotdogs are--I'll say it again--horrible. Worse than what you get at a Little League concession stand. Rubbery, lukewarm, and a weird shade of pink, these hotdogs come nowhere near justifying the price. It would be easy to give Frank's just one star. But on the positive side, the place was clean, the workers were nice, and the fries were OK. But if hotdogs are your main entrée, they better be awesome, not awful. read more

My family and I stopped in on a busy Saturday night and were welcomed with friendly smiles and yummy food. The gyros were delicious according to my wife and two of the boys. Hot dogs hit the spot and the fries were damn good(even when we got home). The portions left all four teenage boys full and my wallet still had money left in it. Thanks to the whole team at Frankz for a good time!! Oh yeah the cold beer made this dad feel good too. read more

What a great place! Vintage PacMan free to play and a friendly, clean place to enjoy some dogs. I had the Coney and it was awesome! The chili was really hearty and fresh- none of that greasy spoon stuff you find elsewhere. This was a great find and we'd come back for sure. read more

The Chicago dog is artfully done, and the onion petals were delicious. It is very clean and styling on the inside. The service was good and quick. Overall great experience! read more

Frankz is great! Food is awesome, service is always good, all the employees are friendly and polite. We go here all the time! I only gave it 4 starts because the prices are pretty high for a hot dog place! I meal for 2 usually runs around $40 by the time they ring you up. But if you are ok with the price, its REALLY good! read more

Fun, sporty atmosphere with amazing food! The gyro, fries, and dogs are so so good and the staff was super friendly and helpful. It's a must try if you're in the area! read more

Joey the owner took great care of us. Super friendly and engaged staff full of pride and hard work! just the kind of small business you want to support. Doesn't hurt that the food is deeeeeee--licious!!! Those gyro egg rolls? Who knew it was just the thing I never knew I always wanted. Perfectly cooked, just enough melted cheese and cold, fresh tsatsiki! And the walleye taco special...YUM!!! We'll be back. read more

We have a family of five and we all loved Franz! We all had different selections and everything was very good and affordable.

If your in the Arcadia to Frankfort area, Frankz is a must stop location. Their special man dip sauce is top tier, they have it on their bestie fries and it's amazing! My family lives over two and half hours away and whenever we are in the area we just have to stop here. There was a perch special tonight that was so fresh and delicious, my family was not disappointed. The staff here is incredibly nice including their incredible owner. Frankz is without a doubt one of the best restaurants in the Frankfort-Arcadia area. read more

I stopped by for a sandwich around 7 pm, going to get some takeout and eat it on the beach. I only purchased a gyro because it was 10 dollars for just the sandwich. Gyros, fries, and a drink would have run me about 17 - OUCH! I stood in the corner social distancing and waited for my order. There were 4 employees there but it still took 10-15 minutes to get on my way. All the employees were in the kitchen and quite frankly the dining room needed some sprucing up. The tables had the look of not being cleaned or sanitized for awhile. I would not have dined in unless I cleaned the tables myself. It's important here because of the volume of out of state visitors we get here. Gyros was in large chunks, they take it out of this liquid and pit it on the sandwich. I've had tastier and better portioned gyros in my day. Sauce was decent. It was average, I might try something else if I return but the very high prices and lack of sanitizing will probably keep me away read more

What a great place to eat! We had a Greek Salad with the best Gyro meat and Frankz Fries. So so good!

Great spot for dogs and fries. The man sauce is made from scratch with cream cheese and jalapeños. Get the fries with it. Cocktail with berries from a local northern MI farm. Good local beers too. I'm from out of town and this was my first time. I will 100% be back. read more

Great personal service, dogs were very tasty with incredibly soft buns. Can't wait to come back!
