Reviews for Frankie's in Albany, OR
Some of the best food I have had in years, the meatball sub comes with a pesto, but they were super understanding about me not... being able to have pesto and switched it up when I asked. The french fries are delicious and have a great crunch to them, thewait staff was absolutely stellar and the dessert was to die for. Already have reservations to go back in about a week, 10/10 -Even if I had to wait over an hour for the food I'd go there. Just fantastic. A note to mention! They have gluten free optionsfor my friend who can't have it, and he says the food was out of this world, as well as the desserts. Read more
Absolutely loved treating my friends to dinner here. The steak was massive and tasted juicy and delicious. Perfectly cooked.
I ordered the calamari and clams off the appetizer menu for lunch with my husband. I was mind boggled, they battered and fried... lemon slices with the calamari and it was DELICIOUS. Genius. There were pepperoncini in there too, clams were great as well, butI’m just stuck on that amazing calamari and lemon pairing. ???????? Read more
Excellent food and wonderful staff. The calamari is some of the best I've ever had, the pork belly fries are amazing, and the... pineapple jalapeno margarita is devine. For all the years I've enjoyed Frankie's I've never had a bad experience. Read more
We generally enjoy going to Frankie's, but today's visit was less than wonderful. Hubs and I shared the hummus plate - it's not... your traditional Middle Eastern hummus, but was served with cucumbers, tomatoes, pickled red onions and feta. Easily enough fortwo as an appetizer. Hubs had linguini with clams. Plenty of clams and he said it was quite good. I had the fish and chips.Easily the WORST fried fish I've ever had. Batter was thick and tasted like overcooked pancake batter - dark, oddly sweet andvery greasy. After I pulled off the coating, there was very little fish left. I mentioned this to our server who took the piecesof coating back to the kitchen to show the chef. I heard nothing more about it and I was charged the full price for the meal - adiscount would have been appreciated, especially at an upper scale restaurant like this. PLUS - WARNING- they charge 50 centsfor a tiny side of ranch dressing that was suggested by the server. This seems downright cheap for a restaurant charging theseprices. BTW - their French fries are WONDERFUL! This is decidedly a low key casual restaurant with a chef driven menu. We willcontinue to go back. When they're good, they're great. When they miss, they miss by a mile. Read more
2020 Excellent food, great atmosphere, reasonable prices, our default place to visit while in Albany and looking for a meal.... Happy hour menu and prices can't be beat. As omeone who enjoys micro beers, the one area I could suggest improvement would be awider selection, as they usually have 3-4 on tap. UPDATE 2022: A year and some months later we visited again for lunch today.The prices for happy hour starters have doubled, drink prices are 1$ off, the service was great as always but the product wasabysmal compared to what we had experienced in the past and expected. A 16$ pulled pork nachos plate with a tablespoon of sourcream, cold, nearly end of life smelling pork and perhaps a half cup of cheese on an 8" cast iron serving dish was a shock forthe normal quality we'd come to expect.The pub burger used to be 8-9$, is now 15$. The quality of food and value in each dishhas quickly diminished to the point I don't know if we'll justify the treck out to north Albany anymore. Read more
Wow! The food at this place is amazing. My dad had the burger and he couldn't stop raving about how this was the best burger he... had in a very long time. Also the jumbo prawn cocktail was on point great cocktail sauce too. Service is a little slow but Isuspect this is due to most restaurants being understaffed. Service was still good though. Read more
We are lucky to have such a quality restaurant in this area. This is the place I recommend for all birthdays and special event... dinners. They only use the finest of local ingredients and have a rotating menu that always has something for everyone. Read more
