Great food at Lee Frank's. Loved the old building, nicely refurbished and you could see into the kitchen. The hamburgers are great. Very in-and-out. The rings were excellent with a crispy batter that ever so slightly held on to the rings. The hot dog was eh. The hot dog temp seemed off and the chili and cheese was just alright. Overall loved the place. And loved the story of the James beard society nominating the burger place instead of his upscale restaurant by mistake. read more

Lee Frank's - Cheeseburger dirty style, chilli cheese dog, and onion rings - Hot Dogs Near Me - South Berwick, Maine

We had lunch at Franks today. Small menu but wow they do everything right! Smashburgers, hotdogs, onion rings,fries and shakes. I had a cony dog with cheese, onion rings and fries. Everything was yummy and I wish I had a smashburger also. They looked so good. Its a small dining room maybe six tables and some window bar height seats. You order and pay at the counter. Prices are very reasonable. Parking is a little tough but worth it. Cant wait to come back. read more

This is for the south berwick location: Drove down on a rainy Sunday on an adventure to try this burger. So close to a 5: Pros: Super friendly service Decently priced I love the onions rings they were different and I enjoyed that. Don't expect the ones with lots of batter but they were great! Now the star of the show was the burger! Smash burger at its finest. I also got grilled onions on it and such a good choice. Cons: The fries were average and mine were a little cold. I like them cooked a bit longer. The hot dog was mediocre. Overall worth a spot for the burger alone! read more

We tried their smash burgers and fries. Prices were very affordable and both were delicious. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

I don't understand what people could complain about? Food took a little while to come out, because the place was crowded. It was crowded, because the food is so good. Smash burgers were fantastic, hot dogs and fries were very good, shakes were great! Perfect spot for what it is, highly recommend read more

I was looking for a premium Chili Hotdog while in South Berwick. Unfortunately, a downgrade from my last visit to Lee Franks. This was not bad, but certainly not the best. I will continue looking, but so far, the best in the area is at Harbor Burger Shack in Kittery, Maine. read more

The burger and hot dogs were exactly what we needed after a long day. Will definitely be coming back!

They're becoming inconsistent. Mr Frank should keep an eye on the teenagers making his product. I know a hot dog should some snap to them, but the last two I got tasted somehow stale. The chili is still too soupy to stay on a burger without looking like an explosion. It's the little things that make a big impact. read more

Best chili dog in Berwick. The fries and onion rings are next level. Get your JUNK FOOD FRIDAY fix in this sweet little spot! Consistent service - fun place. read more

The last two times have been the same cold hot dogs! To make matter worse the hot dogs they push are terrible, the casing is tough and rubbery, I had to squeeze the meat out of the thick rubber casing which I dropped on my plate and walked out. Hey guys it's not hard to make a good hot dog and you messed that up both times I have come in for lunch. Not again. read more

While the food itself is usually okay to good for what it is, recently the fries have been dry and tasteless and the burgers luke warm. My biggest gripe at both locations is they refuse to run heat in their restaurant. Everyone is either taking it to go or sitting while eating in winter costs! Seems ridiculous not to want your customers to feel welcomed and comfortable. The Berwick location the staff is mostly just standing around on their phone and seemingly bothered by customers coming in. Try harder read more

The hospitality is fantastic! The menu wonderfully simple and the hamburger was great! I had the single for 5$ ish and it was delicious! I also had a hot dog that was one of the best I've ever had with just mustard and relish! The ambiance is super casual and cool! read more

Food was good, price was great. They do not have a high chair in the restaurant? I found that odd and made for a less than desirable experience having to eat a hot dog loaded with onions (which was delicious) with a squirmy one year old on my lap. The person who took our order was very friendly. read more

I will say the burger was very good. Problems: no ice for drinks, air conditioner was apparently broken or just sitting outside the window so it was pretty hot inside. The bathrooms were extremely dirty. The fries were nothing special. The place was run by 3 teenager. I would say it needs some managerial attention. read more

I stopped by the very popular local burger and hot dog joint, located in the center of the South Berwick business district. They serve up burgers, hot dogs, homemade onion rings, crinkle cut fries, chili cheese fries, shakes, and cold drinks (Coke products) from the cooler. The prices here seem reasonable. They also have Burgers with Benefits nights which help local organizations. I placed an online order via their website. I ordered the Hamburger ($4.75 plus tax), Chicagoan Dog ($3.50 plus tax), Onion Rings ($4.00 plus tax), and a Special Shake (Wild Berry - $4.50 plus tax). The place was busy when I arrived to the store, most customers were waiting for their takeout food in the seating area with tables and metal blue chairs and stools along the front windows, which can seat around 34 people. There was light violin music by Lindsey Stirling playing over the speaker. The Toasttab online orders don't print out until the pickup time, so there is a delay time to make the food. My food was all set 7 minutes after pickup time. I enjoyed my food in shop. The Chicagoan Dog was loaded with relish, chopped onions, tomato, yellow mustard, and Celery Salt over grilled hot dog which had a snap to the bite in a soft hot dog bun. The Hamburger was like a smash burger which had a grilled well done beef patty with plenty of mustard, ketchup, lettuce, tomato, onions, and pickles on a soft bun. The onion rings were lightly battered and deep fried, crispy outside and not too greasy with ranch dipping sauce. The wild berry shake was thick and sweet. Overall, Lee Frank's was very good and the food I had was very tasty. I think next time I'll also order the Chili Cheese Fries (fries dirty) which seem to be popular here. read more

I have heard this place was amazing so I had to try it. I was extremely disappointed right from go! The girl who took our order was rude and only said about 3 words. Hi,no,and okay! The food was a slight notch above Wendy's. The bun was soggy from grease, and the burgers blood. The restaurant itself was hot, and the tables we're sticky! I rarely give bad reviews,but this was deserving! read more

Expected great things from this place as the owner had 2 other locations. On the positive side the service was friendly but that is where it ended. We had to ask for salt and pepper and napkins??? Ketchup bottle was empty too! Our Food came out quickly but only because it had been sitting and definitely not cooked to order so everything was barely warm. Shriveled cold tiny hot dog covered in poorly chopped toppings. My cheeseburger had more lettuce than meat and the bun was not even toasted! Cold! Onion rings were very strange. Not fresh, maybe frozen but with a weird texture. The batter just fell off- not even crunchy! Don't bother ordering them! French fried were fair but again not hot & crispy, barely warm. In closing I think Just about everything could improve! I was hoping it would be better and I am disappointed!! read more

Lee Frank's new Wells location is great. Ordered online easily and it was ready within 15 minutes. Got the double burger, two new englander hot dogs, grilled cheese and onion rings. Burger and dogs were great. Burgers were fresh and tasty. Dogs were covered in relish and mustard and used a quality dog. Grilled cheese was actually two sandwiches which my wife liked. The onion rings were good but a bit too crispy. The inside is casual with bright blue metal stools on bench tables as well as booths and bench seating near windows. Will be going back frequently! read more

Incredibly inexpensive, delicious burgers and fries. "Dirty" style is nearly as good as the famed "animal" style from In-N-Out Burger. Friendly staff as well. A hidden gem in a small town. read more

A hidden gem right at the center of town. The staff were very pleasant and the double cheeseburger "dirty" was excellent. If you like juicy smashed burgers this is your place to go. Also, all tables and chairs must have been fixed since a previous review. read more

Lee Frank's - Lee Frank's - Hot Dogs Near Me - South Berwick, Maine

Went here for the first time last night and we will definitely be back. My husband and I each got a double cheeseburger and made it dirty. Dirty is their house sauce and grilled onions. We shared a side of fries which came out hot from the fryer and were perfect. We also got a strawberry shake and a chocolate shake. The girl who took our order was very kind and helpful. We mentioned doing a second order with our shakes, after we ate our burgers and fries. She said she could just do one order and wait to make our shakes until we were done eating. We were just finishing our fries when she came over and asked if we wanted our shakes. When we said yes, she had them there for us right away. The service was wonderful. The food was delicious, hot, fresh and fast. Our whole experience was amazing. read more

I wish I could give it more stars. I didn't expect the food to be so amazing quite honestly but it exceeded my expectations!! This is one of the best burgers i've ever had, and the chili fries are also so amazing!! Their chili is more of a gravy type sauce and it's literally exactly what I wanted. Me and my boyfriend spent about an hour trying to find a new and good place to eat at and we stumbled across our new favorite burger place!! You will not regret getting a cheeseburger from here:)! read more

This place has lots of good reviews on Facebook so we decided to take a drive to check it out. We all had double burgers. Not sure why but they had a bit too much salt on them. Onion rings had way too much salt on them. The French fries had no salt on them. The chili cheese fries tasted like Taco Bell meat. Girl taking orders was very friendly and helpful. Place was very clean. Prices reasonable. Cut down on the salt please! read more

I'm loathe to write a bad review, especially after one visit, however if there is one thing I cannot tolerate, it's being lied to before you even order. So, listen, they don't sell hamburgers or cheeseburgers- they sell smash burgers and they are overcooked disfigured pieces of shoe leather. You get this inch thick onion and the entire thing is about half the size of a normal hamburger. Next is the milkshake and for something over 5 bucks, a strawberry milkshake needs to have at least glanced at a strawberry, but no... The ambience was depressing, inside had a non working a.c unit and other than the two picnic tables outside there were literally 2 broken tables with chairs directly behind the broken air conditioner and the restaurant exhaust fan. So, no, not a good place to eat. read more

Wells, Maine location was little hard to get into the parking lot. Interior is very simple as is the menu. We ordered burgers, fries and shakes. Service taking our order was good but some tables needed to be washed off and hadn't been addressed during the time we were there (eat-in order). Food was very tasty, fries were hot and the shakes were nice and thick. I'd return knowing what to expect next time. read more

Service was fast and friendly. Food was very good. Very tasty. My friend and I went in for lunch and really enjoyed their new location in Wells. Definitely would recommend stopping by. read more

Wells location: food is great, service was very fast! Friendly staff and great, relaxed atmosphere. Will be back!

Ok, this is the second time I visited. The first was last yr. ( 2023). I ordered a double chili dog. The hot dog tasted awedul,and the texture was like rubber,hardened rubber. I fought through 1 hotdogs and through the remaining dog away. I returned to my house and within 15 minutes vomited violently. This place has gone down and I am surprised it is still in operation! read more

Great classic smash burgers. If you're looking for a different kind of burger, don't go and complain about it. No reason for this place to be under 4 stars on here read more

Really enjoyed this place. Wedged right in middle of the town square in South Berwick. I had chili cheeseburger (single), which was delicious. Crispy burger and great tasting chili. My wife had veggie burger, which she liked. Fries were great and plentiful. Def would go again. read more
