The one waitress which maybe the owner does everything. She takes your order, brings your food, answers phones, prepares takeouts. My wife ended using restroom which is in an odd location through the back of the kitchen. Needless to say your server is very busy and you may need some patience before she can attend to you. That said she is very nice. We ordered the bulgolgi cheesesteak hoagie, which comes with plain chips, coleslaw, and pickle. Broadway cafe is still my favorite Korean cheesesteak hoagie but this was very good especially for the price. My wife ordered the bulgogi omelette which I tried loaded with bulgolgi this was very flavorful as well. The kimchi cucumber was more cucumber than kimchi not very spicy, but I bet she tones it down to appease her customers that might not be used to Korean spice. All n all a solid place would definitely come back to try their other entrees.

Solid experience for breakfast. Small diner with friendly staff. It really is a diner so get ready…read moreto be taken a bit back in time. We were visiting Ann Arbor and Frank's is right of campus. Breakfast is their game and they've got it down. Many reviews raved about the French toast so we both got it. Meh, it was ok. It has a cinnamon sugar on it but the type of bread is not something we recognized. Scrambled eggs and bacon were great. Cofee could have been better but really fit in with what you'd expect at a diner. Recommend if you are looking for a fulfilling breakfast that won't break the bank.

Frank's is old school. They have been around forever, essentially. (I grew up just past north…read morecampus, circa 1980s, when it was half cornfields still, and I attended University of Michigan for a professional degree.) They are the quintessential diner in the perfect college town. I would estimate I've eaten there ten times since, say, 1988. The decor exudes the Go Blue spirit. They also have retro knick knacks: a photo of the Three Stooges in cap and gown, saying "Now what?," a vintage Mountain Dew advertising sign, a Scooby Doo mystery van toy model, etc. But if I gave been there for anything other than breakfast, I have forgotten that. So I associate the place with traditional American fare prepared on a griddle, before you start the workday (or classes). This weekend, my wife and I are passing through town. Last night, she said, where should we eat in the morning. I gave her a few choices. She said, oh, Frank's of course. We had a stranger take a photo of us outside, for old time's sake. I had corned beef hash, two eggs, hash browns, and toast. My wife had pancakes. Both our dishes were large enough for us to request boxes and a bag. We are set for tomorrow. The corned beef was how I like it: it is not some fancy homemade preparation, but the type out of a can, fried up (I would bet it is in fact homemade, but in the style of out of a can, which is even better). The pancakes are exactly as you would imagine if you grew up in the States and have ever eaten at this type of establishment. We noticed they have specialty versions, such as with peanut butter. The patrons are a mix. One table was blue collar rank and file, talking about their union and ensuring folks don't steal their jobs. Another table was four college guys, and of the different backgrounds you would hope (I would anyway) come together as equals on a campus, including white, black, and Asian American. The server was friendly, someone who either loves their job or does such a good job presenting that attitude you want to leave a good tip; the chef also was outgoing. I hope Frank's continues to be around another 40 years. It belongs to a business type that is disappearing everywhere else.

When I called again to check about a waitlist, I was directed to their website, but there was no option or details about joining a list. It was a busy weekend, and after some effort, we managed to find a street parking spot amid the downtown traffic. When we arrived, there were people waiting outside, and inside it was so crowded it was difficult to even reach the counter. I saw at least 3-5 groups leave after seeing the chaos. It seems popular, but I wouldn't prefer a place that handles customers like this. With the confusion and lack of clear guidance on seating, we ended up leaving and going somewhere else. Overall, it was disappointing. Clearer communication about seating would have helped, and it wasn't clear whether this is just how they operate or if they aren't concerned about their customers.
