Excellent amount of food for the price, great restaurant. Haven't had a bad item off the menu yet. Would 10/10 recommend for a bite to eat.

I haven't been to Franks A Lot since I moved away from Waterford. But I had a dentist appointment in Waterford this morning, so I decided to go after my appointment. I noticed that the menu was new and that they now have biscuits ALL the time! I ordered the Big Biscuit breakfast, but I sure didn't expect it to be as big as it was -- it's easily enough for 3, possibly 4 meals! There were 2 large biscuits split open & covered with sausage gravy (Mmmm!) along with eggs and a generous serving of hash browns. I ate maybe 1/3 of it, which means I have lunch for the rest of the work week!

Good people, good service, and good dogs. Came in with my daughter on a whim, she wanted some chicken and fries and I got two coneys. They were hot, fresh, and just fine. Will be back.

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! We dinned on Saturday around brunch time. 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 sign says they serve Koegel hotdogs and they offer footlongs too! I can't wait to go back again! The breakfasts look delish. The hash browns:)..... Simple yummy diner food done right. See you soon Franks.

Love this little treasure. The breakfasts are delicious quick and happily served. I ordered coney dogs for some coworkers the other day. We loved them and watching the cook preparing multiple orders was fun. I think I would implode trying to multicook like him.
