"This is my first time here as I was again visiting and in the area. Very pleased we stopped in: Small Mom and Pop type diners are becoming a thing of the past in our area. Of the few some have become “tired”,however, here at Franks-a-lot you will experience what you remember from your fav old school diner! The restaurant is very clean, in great repair and decor. Of all the glass partitions between booths I saw only one fresh fingerprint! I did NOT see one booth with cracked vinyl. Amazed at the standard of upkeep and cleanliness! Here you do not walk in and smell an old greasy grill. Your fried onions do not taste like green peppers/sausage from the previous order( one of my pet peeves . It is a clean grill! Staff gave stellar service! Our waitress was kind and attentive. Good coffee too. It was as if my coffee cup was charmed and automatically filled itself at just the right time!!! LOL My friend ordered the grilled chicken salad. It came with a nice sized piece of chicken that could have used a little more cheese but we have found some restaurants we frequent have cut back too. The grilled chicken was not over cooked and yummy. AMAZINGLY the salad was prepared with fresh cut lettuce! NO bagged lettuce that tastes and smells like formaldehyde here. Thank you Franks-a-Lot for putting in the effort!!! I ordered my most fav item at a diner, a plain old patty melt. Onions well done please! Yep, this was not the 1/2 pound patty that shrinks to a thick chunk of meat ,sitting off center leaving the majority of the bread empty. This is the traditional thinner patty that just covers the entire sandwich. Beef in every savory bite. The bread was generously buttered, evenly crunchy, with both gooey American and Swiss cheeses. So yummy. I enjoy both flavors on my melt. I always taste my food before salting and typically need to salt/pepper my burgers. I was pleased to find that I did not have to add anything. The burger and onions were already well seasoned. I will take a good burger over a steak any day. The burger was not hard as if over packed and the texture was not that of a pre made and commercially frozen product. Good burger pickles too. The entire meal for both of us was reasonably priced and very very good.Oh,they make homemade cookies in about 6-8 different varieties and serve Koegel hotdogs. They have footlongs too! I can’t wait to go back again! The breakfasts look delish. The hash browns: See you soon Franks."
