The only downfall is those wooden chairs at the regular tables are very uncomfortable the backs of them are very uncomfortable for people with back issues that's why today and anytime I go I take my Walker in with me but I don't sit in the chairs you offer I sat on my Walker because it's much more comfortable than the wooden chairs the backing is just not good for somebody with a bad back. But the food and the staff awesome

Service took a bit, but that's because it was decently busy when we arrived. I honestly didn't expect the flavor I got with the price I paid. Some say it's overpriced, but this is a local mom and pop place, so you know what kind of quality you're going to get. I definitely recommend this place! Loved it and I will go back.

Perhaps it is a simple matter of an "airplane" tends to look like an "airplane", there is a familiarity to this place although we have never been here. It is just weathered enough to have character without being quite run-down. It is clean, and the dining inside space is sort of timeless. The service counter on the dine-in side has a big busy menu above the window, but there is also a smaller version (tiny print) that you can hold close and make a choice. We both opted for the signature King Louie (single patty, hand formed, smashed), and fries. We also tried the onion rings as an appetizer someone else mentioned in a review. They were the frozen ones and had a real onion under the batter. My one complaint (a me problem) was the fries. They use the fresh potato with skin style. They almost never quite get to that level of crisp that I prefer. In this case they seemed to have pulled them even earlier (perhaps feeling rushed). The burgers were good, not fancy, but clearly made to order (this is not fast food). It's not a long wait, but I expect like many small businesses they run a skeleton crew as often as they can. We only saw the counter lady and the younger woman order runner for the drive ups. We would certainly stop by again if in the area.

In addition to the sweet treats, one of the highlights of stopping by and even driving by, is reading their marque. The messages are always, witty or supportive of another local business. I love it when local supports local. Recently, I had a Chocolate Covered Strawberry concrete and I liked it more than my typical favorite M&M concrete. The chocolate ice cream with flakes of solid chocolate and pieces of strawberry made my day. I've also enjoyed, chocolate and vanilla twist cones, but the orange sherbet and vanilla is still my favorite. I keep saying, I need to try their burgers, so I'll say it again. I gotta try their burgers. The restaurant has a nostalgic look and feel. The staff is young high school and college students and they're always friendly. They truly hustle and make things happen for their ice cream fans. Next time you're in Edwardsville, be sure to make a stop at Northside Dairy Haven.

Burger was excellent for the price. Ice cream was good soft serve. Service was kind and my food came out in about 10min. Kids were running around and family's were happily chowing down. It's a great old fashioned atmosphere. If you drive past this place, it's time to finally make the stop! Little hiccup: kids cone is 1.50 on the board but I was charged 2$. So check your receipt if you're pinching pennies.

Would have given it a 5 star but the service was really bad. The waiter barely waited on us and he decided the chips I ordered should be fries instead. ($1.50 up charge and I don't even eat fries) He never came back to see if our food was ok (we were sitting at the counter and ignored) so I was never able to get it corrected so we had to pay the up charge. Plus people at other tables were yelling at him from a booth over the counter "can we get some boxes and our bill" and another booth did the same, so evidently everyone got the same crappy service.

Yippie, I have another breakfast restaurant close to home. I can easily make breakfast at home, but…read morethere is just something about having a BIG hearty breakfast at a restaurant. It's one of my favorite things to do, since I have retired. Frank's has only been open for two days and after my first visit, I already know I will be returning. For my first visit, I enjoyed their, Half Biscuits and Gravy Meal. It came with; 2 eggs, 2 bacon strips, 2 sausage links, hash browns and a half order of biscuits and gravy. OMG, it was a hearty breakfast. The hash browns were super crispy and the biscuit was good and fluffy. Most diners, over salt the food, but not here. The breakfast items were seasoned well. I am a pepper freak, so I did add pepper to the gravy and on top of my eggs. I enjoyed a good of strong black coffee with my meal. For me, I it was a nice touch that they brought a glass of ice water without having to request it. The service was friendly and attentive. As I dined at the counter, I noticed that the servers greeted every guest as they entered the restaurant. They even said, good-bye as guest left the restaurant. The ambiance is simple, it is very plain Jane. So don't expect anything fancy. You're coming for hearty comfort food and that is what you'll get. So, if you enjoy having breakfast out as much as I do, I recommend Frank's be your next one out.

It was…read morea struggle, but I forced myself to order something else off the menu and I am glad that I did. Instead of my typical order of wings and fries, I got the Pump Jack Burger. It's made with Angus beef topped with Pepper Jack cheese, Grilled Balsamic Onions, Mild Banana Pepper Rings with a Sweet and Spicy Sauce, all served on a Onion Roll. It was served with a side of Fries. I was impressed by the size of the burger and that it was hand pressed. A hand pressed burger always tastes better to me. I requested that it be prepared medium rare and it was done perfectly. The fries were soft, I'd prefer mine a little crispier, but they were seasoned well. I got a giggle from their ketchup bottle, it said it was "Fancy". They have an impressive variety of beers. They offer draft, bottle and canned. I personally always go with one of the many craft beers they have on the menu. When dining alone, I always sit at the bar. The bartenders are typically female and are friendly. I am fan of hooks under a bar and Pump House takes it even a step further. They also offer, outlets. If your phone needs a charge and you've got a cord, you are set to go. Offering outlets under a bar, is top notch customer service. Now that I know they have great burgers as well as their wings, I'll have to rotate between the two when coming to dine.

Like I said in my first review you need to learn low and slow for a pork steak. Oh we don't have that anymore. Thank goodness. Your pork steak was chewy and not done appropriately. Horrible to try and eat. Tonight one of us got the chipotle chicken sandwich. The chicken was cooked to death. Ugh. Came out like chicken powder, you know the kind they put in your dog's food? Way too dry. Hard to eat. All the menus online are out of date so just about everything we chose we were told oh we don't have that anymore. Not good business practice. Put out a new menu and delete the old ones!! You fit right in with the rest of the crap food we are served in this area. Not a bit better. We won't try again.
