There is seating outside. Both indoor and outdoor spaces are very neat, clean and well-maintained. The food was good and servings plentiful. You can add basic toppings inside. These include a house made relish, or there are options for chili and cheese. The service is friendly. You'll wait a little for your food since everything is made to order. I'm fine with that! This is a great alternative to the usual burger joints or if you don't feel like firing up the grill.

Our server was knowledgeable of gluten free options on the menu, which was great. They start every table with potato chips and a yummy aioli, truly addicting! For food, the filet mignon was perfection. A previous time I came, they had shrimp and scallops in a saffron cream with wild rice and market vegetables and it was DIVINE! The menu does change so that dish wasn't listed this recent time that we went. It would be amazing if they brought it back as a permanent dish!!! For drinks, I loved by Buzzin in Bikini Bottom cocktail! It is my favorite! My fiancé liked the Negroni and Julep as well, but loved my drink above those.

I got the fungi burger. It was definitely good. The brisket was definitely not worth it for me. $20 for a half pound and while it was cooked excellently, the flavor just wasn't fully there. The onion rings were mid. Some were overcooked, some were under cooked to the point where I could taste the batter not fully finished. I will try this place again. The employees were awesome and singing songs together when I walked in. They looked happy to be there and that made me want to come back and try more.

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.

"Imitator, intimidator, stimulator Simulator, eliminator"…read more(Eminem) If ten state of the art golf simulators are your stimulators, you'll love a visit to Back 9 Social. And your visit will not be handicapped by a lack of gastropub like food and drink. Their golf simulators are very impressive and combine radar and camera technology to faithfully recreate some of the best courses in the world, including St Andrews, Pebble Beach, and 120+ others. A professional organization I belong to held a gathering there last night and had a great time. We ordered and paid for our drinks through their big bar through a QR code, but you can still pay the old-fashioned way with cash if you prefer. We had plenty of their pizzas which were quite yummy. Our golfers had a blast and I should point out that although some of the other customers I saw actually brought their own set of clubs, Back 9 can hook you up with their clubs for men, women, lefties, righties, and kids. And of course, plenty of tees and balls to whack into their high-definition screens. The facility is gorgeous, the golf simulators were amazing, the staff was helpful and friendly, and it was a very enjoyable experience.

This place is a lot of fun, and we genuinely enjoy coming here, but our experience with management…read moreon multiple occasions has really put a damper on the whole establishment. We completely understand that the facility has every right to monitor alcohol consumption and prevent inappropriate behavior. Nobody wants people getting sloppy or disruptive, and we respect that. However, there's a much more professional and respectful way to handle it than what is done. We are unsure of her name, but the female manager present made us uncomfortable as she was constantly staring at our group throughout the evening instead of simply communicating expectations directly. The alcohol restrictions are also entirely ridiculous- I specifically was told by the bartender that I was being watched for alcohol consumption after having 2 Coronas in a time span of 1 hour and 45 minutes. The restriction on alcohol itself is not the main issue -- it's the way it is handled. We have felt watched and punished despite the fact that nobody in our group was loud, inappropriate, or intoxicated on multiple occasions. I also want to note that the bartenders have been spectacular and are always very nice. This is specially about the manager and the way she acts towards paying customers. When you're spending over $200 on the simulator alone, a little courtesy and respectful communication would go a long way. We really do like this place, but experiences like this make us hesitant to come back.
