Great atmosphere , great service , amazing food . The de boned peri peri chicken is a favorite as well as their brilliant thin based pizzas. Be sure to look at the chalk board next to the bar for special meals .
The best peri-peri chicken I would go as far to say in the world, coupled with their friendly staff they clearly have a goal of providing world-class service; I can’t wait to go back and try the balance of their menu
We had the most delicious vegetables and salami pizza at Frank's. Fresh veggies served by an extremely personable waitress. We have been several times but never tried the pizzas but now we know better whenever we want a good pizza.
Lovely experience we had. I went there for a quick dinner, the food was amazing and service was great. Thank you very much, I Will be visiting again definitely.
good menu good vibe very friendly and efficient staff
Fantastic place and the food was to die for, seriously good food and top notch service. Plenty of parking in a small shopping complex. The menu is simple but cooked to very high standard and the presentation was brilliant. The staff were very friendly and knew the menu and were accommodating with a slight change to a dish. Definitely worth going here and having something to eat
We were taken here by a family member who lives locally in mount edgecombe. he is a regular at franks so opted for a evening meal here with other friends. Food was awesome. i had and highly recommend the piri piri de-boned chicken. Piri sauce was far better than nandos and any other piri sauce i have tasted. i was curious about the wanky wednesday special on their menu. Still cant figure out the connection with food. too shy to ask.
Awesome place, great atmosphere and even better food
