Friendly service and great recommendations. First time visiting a family owned businesses of 98…read moreyears. You can't go wrong with a classic hot dog topped with their home made relish. They also have a spicy sauce that will not burn your mouth. It's a perfect balance of spicy. Blackies has been open since 1928. It started off as a serve station until they made into a restaurant. What truly made this a special experience is the vintage setting and history. The waitress really made me feel welcomed and had a moment of her time to share more information. I loved that. Finally, it gets busy not the usual overwhelming busy but good hand of people grabbing some hot dogs and hamburgers. If you ever watched the movie Grease, think of that concept, it reminds me of that era. Thank you to the staff for your amazing customer service. Definitely coming back.

I have enjoyed Frankies over the years for sure, and this affair was right up there. Thanks Joe for cooking for all us hungry people.

I've been a Frankie's hot dog patron for most of my life. The quality of their food has been…read moreconsistent my entire lifetime. The biggest change has been the large list of specialty dogs. I just wanted to share a picture of the specialty dog list. Sorry it was tough to get a clear picture of the large menu options.

I ordered because it's my wife's birthday. I got a Gyro, one of the best in the area (but the meat…read morewas softer than usual) and their amazing fries. They have the best Fries in the Naugatuck Valley, period. Why anyone would give them less than 5 stars is beyond me. Maybe some people have no taste?

I've been coming to this place for the longest time that I could remember but today I ordered a…read moreCaesar salad with the fried chicken on top with Parmesan cheese and croutons. I got home I open the container most of the lettuce was turning in, the croutons and the fried chicken was hard as a rock in the Parmesan cheese was old it was all plastic and it had some spots on most of the cheese. It's just really sad that this is what comes down to in most food places and restaurants

I was hoping that they would be serving the exact menu of every other Frankie's location in…read moreConnecticut. But I guess not! I don't know how they get away with it but they're famous for their Hummel footlong hot dog and their homemade relish. But you can't get the fresh homemade hot relish at this location as they have some other crap that they are serving in place of it. I don't know how they can get away with that? Not to mention many other menu items are no longer the same as the other Frankie's especially their fried broccoli. Is absolutely terrible at this location. Don't waste your time they overcook the hot dogs until it's a shriveled dry mess. I'm thoroughly disappointed and cannot believe that the Frankie's original owners are letting them get away with this.

Frankies dog used to be the thing back in the day, this place has nothing special and the condiments are ok.. the hot relish is some gelatinous stuff, not really a relish It wasn't terrible, but Ya been warned !

Stopped here a few days ago with friend, Demanding Dan, who read about it in the Journal Inquirer…read more I'll call it a Pop Op, as the proprietor, Norm, seems to be retired, and getting a little long in the tooth. He's open from 11AM until 2ish, even in the winter if the temp is at least 40. The operation is under a tent in front of Norm's home. The dogs are Kayem which, incidentally, are served at Fenway. Norm's prices are a whole lot lower than those at Fenway Paak, though. He grills them, and also grills the Freihofer buns. Numerous choices for sides. I had a chili dog, and two w sauerkraut. DD had a chili dog and a cheeseburger. The beanless chili is homemade, and very good. The menu is eclectic.... whoever heard of a hd smothered w Reese's Peanut Butter? Next time. DD and I agreed we are both fans. Two things...cash only and don't be in a rush. He gets numerous regulars and is a solo act. If you like s good dog, definitely stop by.

If you're craving a classic, no-frills, absolutely perfect hot dog, Frankie's is the place to go…read more The dogs are grilled just right with that perfect snap, the buns are always fresh, and the toppings--whether you're into chili, onions, sauerkraut, or just classic mustard--are spot on every time. But it's not just about the dogs. Their fries are golden and crispy, the onion rings are addictive, and the milkshakes hit the spot. The whole menu delivers that nostalgic, satisfying, comfort-food goodness that keeps you coming back. Service is always friendly and quick, and the retro vibe gives the whole place a fun, laid-back feel. You can tell this place has been doing it right for years--and it shows. Frankie's really is the hot dog king, and once you try it, you'll totally understand why!

After just finishing a late breakfast at Mary's Diner just up the road, I saw a sign for Frankie's…read more I am drawn to hot dogs like a moth is drawn to light, so I had to stop in. Frankie's uses foot-long Hummel dogs, but made to Frankie's specifications. The bun is New England style, with the flat sides, and it was perfectly toasted. Condiments / toppings are in two locations. I ordered one, and topped it w deli mustard and kraut. Very, very good, but not up there w the best of the best, at least to me. And the price, at $4.98 plus the ubiquitous CT meal tax, was a bit steep. No indoor or outdoor seating. 4 stars

She remembered my name within like three times of being there and she's just such a warm presence there! The food is always hot and made to order, the staff makes sure the line is cared for with a smile and the food is AMAZING. My favorite little lunch spot in New Britain by far!

How could you not like this place?! Great atmosphere, friendly staff and an awesome menu. We tried the reuben dog, taco dog and guilty pleasure dog with the Cajun fries. Dogs are messy but fun.... loved the taco dog! Cajun fries were too salty but appreciate that they are made in house! (Wish they had sweet potato fries with a fun dipping sauce though!) Can't wait to go back and try more creations!
