Testimonials

On 8/10/2026 Ed Perdomo had this to say:
Went to Sweet Corn Fest, pretty cool for a small town event. Stopped at Frankie's Tavern on a recommendation from a local. My wife had a chicken wrap, I had the ribeye wrap. They were seasoned really well and had a delicious taste. Asked Becky, a very cool waitress with just the right amount of sass, fries or house chips? We opted to get both, fries for me, chips for the wife. Becky was right, the were great, the fries were good. Listen to Becky, get the chips, warm, crispy on the edges, just a little soft in the center. They were seasoned just perfectly. My wife would only let me steal a few, could that be grounds for divorce???? Nahhh! But really get the chips. Will.come back next time we're in town. Nice place, I recommend it.
