Unfriendly bartender! She had a scowl on her face the whole time and when she didn’t hear me correctly(said«I’d like one more beer, then close out»), she matter of factly said: «well, I didn’t hear you.» Didn’t offer to get me another drink. Okay, no big deal. 2) It was a special occasion and my gf wanted a bottle of wine from the bar(stop selling by the time our über was going to arrive). We saw the bar back ask her if we could buy a bottle/if he could charge us a little less(instead of the cost of 4 glasses). Long story short, she acted like it was a huge hassle and said to charge us the full amount. Cool lights — eclectic crowd — fire out back — ruined by hipster bartender. Sorry — didn’t try the food.

OMG best hangout bar in town. «friendly and fun» I’ve been a regular for 20 years and circle back when I have a chance… usually see a familiar face and it’s easy to meet someone new as the bartenders will introduce you. The regular cast of characters have a crazy(back and forth) banter that will keep you laughing. It’s a bar, so I don’t recommend it as a dinner place for kids but if you like a hole in the wall hang out, this is your best bet.

Busy day with Porch Rockr so you’d think that would mean they’d staff the place. At a table of 4, 2 of the burgers came out 30 minutes before the others(and we had already been waiting an hour). Had to ask where the other burgers were, which had been sitting out, so everything was cold by the time we got them. As far as we could tell there was only one waitress and one runner. The place was PACKED and the waitress was calm the whole time. There’s no way she wasn’t overwhelmed but she didn’t show it.

I’m going to give Frank’s only 4 stars even though I can drop the word«love» when I mention it, and I’ll explain why. Frank’s is the kind of bar I adore. A hole in the wall, friendly staff, locals and some cool décor. I’ve only eaten the food a few times, and I’m gonna have to say it was pretty typical for bar food; not good, not bad. The music trivia and karaōke is always a blast, and the patio is great for summer time. Now why am I giving Frank’s only 4 stars? Because I really feel like the drinks can be expensive. The drafts are never anything I would consider on a craft level, and I don’t like paying that much for PBR if/when I get it. Aside from this, I love Franks and I think it’s a great place to hangout.

They have updated their menu with a variety of new options outside of burgers. The pasta dishes that I have tried have been good. There are these stuffed pepper balls that smell incredible as well. Franks still has the burger special on Thursday night that cannot be beat. The staff are friendly although the regulars do get preferred treatment. It is generally mostly regulars, but the atmosphere is generally friendly.

My daughter wanted a burger & we were in the area and decided to eat here– everywhere else was packed. We ordered the artichoke heart dip and it was decent. We both ordered burgers medium well. Even though it was pretty dark inside, it appeared that hers was undercooked. She didn’t think so and continued eating. I was full from the dip so I just packed mine up to go. Cut it in half when I got home and was shocked to see how undercooked it was! I hope my daughter doesn’t get sick from eating hers. Had I known, I would’ve sent both back. Service was good, but our $ 30 lunch was a rip off.

I’m a relatively new fan of Frank’s…having just been there a few times. Talk about a neighborhood bar/restaurant, this place is unique and filled with friendly peeps having a good time. The food is good, and I hear a new menu is rolling out in September. They have chef specials every Wednesday and other deals each day of the week. We like that they have an outdoor patio too. Wish it was closer to our home… we’d stop there a LOT!

I have been a regular at Franks for more years than I would like to admit. While I like to diversify my watering holes, I usually end up at Franks at the end of the night and at least once a week. Every time I go there I see someone I know but often times I end up meeting someone new. You never really know what you’re going to get when you go there. The crowd is pretty unique on the weekends. Bartenders are GREAT and so very friendly and I count them among my friends. Drink prices are higher than average but your glass will never be empty. Food is good and Frank runs some excellent specials. Half-off burger nite on Thursday is highly recommended. They also book some pretty good music on the weekends and is really worth the stop if you have never been there. Great place to top off a Highland Square bar crawl.

Yes this is a local bar, and usually it’s filled mainly with«regulars», but for cheap drinks and great food you can’t beat it! Th burgers are great, the wings have some unusual flavor choices, and there are specials almost every night. I love the Friday night steak special, and for $ 12 you really can’t beat it. Every Wednesday they have a special menu to choose from that you can preview on their website. We have partaken in that menu several times, and it has always been impressive!

The bar itself is very small, nothing bad, nothing good just a regular dive. The problem is you might encounter few crackheads hanging out and looking to start trouble, don’t bother going there

We bought a Groupon to try this establishment out because we live in the neighborhood. We went around 6:30pm on a Saturday night and found four other tables occupied for dinner and the bar was a quarter full. This is actually a small cozy place with only about 10 — 12 tables for dining and a large half moon bar. Different t-shirts were pinned to the wall and that was interesting. Tonight, Halloween decorations were all over. Our server tended to us quickly, asking for our drink orders and telling us the specials for the night. He was efficient but not too warm or welcoming. Our food came out quickly. I had their chicken wings(a dozen wings for $ 8). I asked if I could split the flavors but the server said no :(The wings were tasty, coated in some teriyaki sauce but they did not«wow» me. I did not feel welcomed and felt a little uncomfortable here. I will probably not be coming back here soon.

Located on the edge of Highland Square, this isn’t a bar that is popular with people my age(21 – 25). I only have been here because my friend was getting tired of the normal bar routine. However, I was surprised to find that this was not a bad bar. Drinks were cheap and people there were friendly and wouldn’t hassle you, as Michael C. said. This serves as more of a neighborhood bar than anything else, really. You can tell by the crowd that goes here(mostly regulars) and how this really is a place where everybody knows your name. This is also the bar with the shortest wait on drinks and the emptiest bar along Market St. It’s nothing special, but it certainly can be enjoyable.

This is def the best bar in Akron. Hit this place two or three weekends in a row and you might become a regular. A true Cheers place if there ever was. I used to play softball for Frank’s, he is the best bar owner ever! You cannot have a bad time here. No one hassles you, the drinks are affordable and the food is extremely great for a bar. It is small and intimate, when you are talking with your friends, you can hear them. They always have events going on and lots of fun characters frequent this bar. The parking lot is sketchy so make sure you never leave alone.

Frank’s Place has a cozy feel, as it’s a tiny little dive. I’ve been here plenty of times. On most visits, karaōke is in the air and friends are all gathered ’round to join in the singing. Games, singing, drinking, all are part of the funs times that can be found here. There isn’t really any particular type of crowd this place caters to, though one it certainly doesn’t appeal to would be your typical 20 – 30 something yuppie crowd. For the rest of us, come one, come all. Bring a friend, make a friend, and have a seat.
