I came here for lunch recently and had a very good experience!…read more Ordering was easy at the window with a nice big menu. The food came out quickly and was delicious. I went with a 1/4 lb burger with lettuce, tomatoes, onions and pickles. I asked for it as rare as they could make it and they cooked it nicely. The side of onion rings were great as well. They were nice and crispy! Plenty of seating to choose from here. They have picnic tables close to the order window and a good number of tables under a roof to keep you protected from the sun and weather. There's also a large ceiling fan in there for when the temps go up. Service was friendly! From the order taker to the order deliverer..everyone was smiling and pleasant. This is a really great spot to check out! I need to come back to explore the menu more; they have much more than just burgers. And of course, to try the ice cream!

If I could've given it a half star, I would've...... I cannot believe how flabbergasted I was to…read moresee all of these "great" reviews for it to all be hoax. I'm supportive of ALL small businesses everywhere & those who know me, know this. I just can't let people keep thinking that this is a "must try" spot? I decided to give this establishment a shot while driving back home. I was starving & told myself I'd finally be down to try Rose Dairy. First off, the staff on site this day didn't seem to want to be there what so ever. They didn't provide us with a receipt which is a norm to me, if ordering whether that's to stay or to-go. Before grabbing my food at their pick-up window, more patrons had started to come; making me think it must be good so let me be patient. The entire order was wrong, one way or another. There were no fries, when we ordered a combo. The "crispy chicken sandwich" had school like chicken tenders and I doubt adding anything to it would've made the taste any better. I tried to dip it in their "Mac sauce" which we payed for & it tasted like mayonnaise with a touch of color. I didn't take a picture of the "cheeseburger" which was just a beef patty on a bun, because they forgot all the toppings I asked them to add. The "fall dog" was basically a chili cheese hotdog, truly dreadful, & I wish I didn't have to say that. I've had plenty of chili cheese dogs before and this one was the worst, it was also FREEZING cold? I only walked like 7 feet to my table right next to where I picked it up..... I'm super disappointed, will not be returning not even for their mid flavored pumpkin shake which I didn't take a photo of because at that point I was pissed.

But it's not just about the dogs. Their fries are golden and crispy, the onion rings are addictive, and the milkshakes hit the spot. The whole menu delivers that nostalgic, satisfying, comfort-food goodness that keeps you coming back. Service is always friendly and quick, and the retro vibe gives the whole place a fun, laid-back feel. You can tell this place has been doing it right for years--and it shows. Frankie's really is the hot dog king, and once you try it, you'll totally understand why!

Cash only, cash only, cash only!…read more But there is an ATM on site Stopped in for lunch with a friend of mine on this Friday afternoon, the place was definitely steady with people dining in, takeout, and the at picnic tables outside This was a beautiful day and we decided we would be sitting at the picnic tables outside The order was placed for two hotdog one with mustard, onion, and sauce, and the other hotdog with mustard and relish. I ordered a Pepsi soft drink, and my friend ordered the lemonade iced tea. About 10 minutes later, our order arrived, and we took the hotdog and drinks outside to the picnic tables The picnic tables could've been a little bit cleaner, but they were passable. After all, this is a lunch stop, and a hotdog joint, and a dive. One bite into that foot-long hotdog, and it was hot dog heaven. The toasted buttered England style hotdog roll, just was grilled to perfection. The hotdog had a nice SNAP to it with just nice a little bit spicy kick to the dog, I loved the mustard and the minced onions. But let's talk about that sauce. I could taste some cinnamon in it, there probably was chocolate in it also, but this was, in my opinion, the best meat sauce in Connecticut. My friend concurred that his hot dog was delicious. However, he wished he ordered the minced onions to go with it after seeing the onions on my hotdog. So... Let's go for round two! We had another foot-long hotdog I had one with mustard, onion, and sauce. My friend had one with mustard relish, and onion on it and we demolished them. I had a Pepsi drink and it was nice and cold and fresh. It was a bottle of lemonade iced tea, and it was consistent with what's usually in a bottle drink This is a great stop on the way to or from the beach, and Lake Beseck Conveniently located, and parking is a breeze outback around the side. There is an outside ice cream window along with an ice cream counter inside to the right of the entrance. The ice cream and milkshakes looked delicious. I wish I had stopped and took the time to order one. Definitely next time. To say these are the best hotdog in Connecticut would be a pretty fair statement. If not, these are a top five stop for hotdog.

Today, a sunny early Spring morning, I decided to escape the dark recesses of my humble abode and finally make the trip to Middlefield. I am glad I did. Guida's has a definite 50s diner vibe. Everything looked clean, fresh, and appealing. The server was very friendly and helpful and the food was brought quickly. The fries were hot right from the oil and the 1/4 lb burger was cooked perfectly. Today, I opted for a strawberry shake and was pleased to find it not cloyingly sweet from too much syrup. Delish! The prices were comparable for other like establishments. Note: They only accept cash, but have an ATM for customer convenience. This is definitely a restaurant I would visit again when I am in the area!

There were a few tables to eat, but we took our meal to-go. Frankies started to get busy quick after we ordered since it was nearing lunch hour on a Sunday. My husband has had Frankies before at another location, looking forward to getting some Chicken Wings--unfortunately, they were out and he pivoted his choice for a Fried Chicken Sandwich with lettuce, tomato, onion, and mayo. I got a Grilled Chicken Sandwich with lettuce, tomato, and provolone cheese. We also got Curly Fries and Waffle Fries. The menu is very simple with hot dogs, hamburgers, sandwiches, fried seafood like clam strips or shrimp. There were even lobster rolls and every kind of fry; steak, curly, and waffle! Our food was prepared quickly and held up well since it was to-go. My grilled chicken sandwich was juicy and waffle fries were fine. This Frankies does close early on Sundays at 4:00pm. We will be back at Frankies again, hopefully my husband will get his Chicken Wings next time.

I love that frankie's has condiment/vegetable bar so you can really custom everything your order to your liking. Looking forward to coming back! Also - I don't even like pickles but whatever pickles they serve are SO GOOD!
