My family and I came here to meet up for a late lunch. Its been some years since I've been here, but the service and food is still amazing. First, the service staff is very warm and friendly. It really feels like family inviting you in. The food is great. My veal Frankie was just the creamy pasta I wanted. My fiancee got the chicken Fradiavolo and it was very flavorful. Theres a restaurant in Nashville we went to and Fradiavolo sauce was put on our radar. This sauce was just as good as the highly touted restaurant in Nashville. My dad and stepmom devoured their plate and had nothing but good to say about their plates. This continues years later to be a staple. read more

Great told school Italian. Dim lights, big booths. Just what I like. Delicious pastas and sauces. I particularly like their fried calamari with marinara also. They do have a large wine selection also. Service is very professional. Give them a try. read more

I think I expected a dry no personality cafe with fairly good food but was pleasantly surprised at the charmingly cozy atmosphere inside the door. We were ushered to a comfy booth & a friendly server appeared almost immediately. The food was incredible, service top of the line, & will we be back? You can bet your fettuccine we will. read more

I think I have a love-hate relationship with Frankie's. Last visit was fantastic and the food was delicious. Now we've gone right back to subpar. And it's not the restaurant's fault. They clearly are catering to local tastes. I don't enjoy sweet marinara sauce. It's inedible. Anyway, the service is fabulous and it's the only place that sells garlic knots so they get a pass. read more

The food is fairly priced and pretty good quality. Everything got out quick which was another plus. Along with that, the environment was dim and surprisingly quiet. My one gripe is that my pizza was greasy to the point where it was a little overpowering which might be deal breaker for some. read more

It was amazing!!! Came back after a while and it was even better. Service was great and flavors were 5 stars read more

Amazing food, service and experience for our first time stopping in at Frankie's! We'll definitely be back again when passing through Beaumont! Highly recommend! I love the decor with wine bottles arranged throughout the restaurant. It's very romantic! The food is amazing and tastes very fresh! The service is ok but could be friendlier or more professional but wasn't a deal breaker for me. The quality overall is top notch! read more

Frankie's Italian Grill - Eggplant Parmigiana - Italian Near Me - Beaumont, Texas

Enjoyed a pizza, salads and glasses of house wine. Pizza prepared as we prefer. Pleasant and effective service. Very relaxing and delicious.

Waited 45 for our food for the waitress to say they lost the ticket & it would be another 10 minutes before it was ready. No apology or anything. Maybe if she would have checked on our table a single time she would have known there was an issue. Will not be back. read more

Frankie's Italian Grill is a an Italian restaurant in Beaumont. The outside looks small, but the inside is pretty spacious. Their food portions are also huge, so make sure to come starving. When you sit down, they bring complementary garlic knots, which are my favorite part. They're super hot and soft. I ordered the chicken aristocrat, which comes with angel hair pasta and a two pieces of chicken with eggplants and cheese on top. The sauce was super heavy for me and made me full after a couple of bites. They also gave salad on the side, which helped me fight the heaviness of the pasta.l Overall, I think the food is alright, but would definitely come just for the garlic knots. read more

To Sam V who gave a unkind review of Frankies, I notice you give a lot of bad reviews, particularly to Beaumont and every Italian, while you live in Sugarland. I have had the Frankies and it is not smothered and certainly not unflavorful. This is a local place, not a chain and occasional there can be variance, but their food is usually well prepared and really inexpensive. They have a chef salad that is spectacular and their Blue cheese is excellent. The seafood dishes are fresh and normally I avoid that at Italian restaurants and was with someone who had salmon and it looked great. So before you run down the hard work of this place with such a harsh review on one visit think again. The Manicotti is particularly spectacular. read more

I love Italian food and my dismal rating is because of the fact this dish was something I could make at home and I'm a lousy cook! I ordered a house salad, chicken Frankies and unsweetened iced tea. The salad came and looked dismal. All the whites of an iceberg lettuce and 1 tiny slice of tomatoes, 3 red onion slivers! I wanted to complain so not eating any of it I shoved it to the corner of table and waited patiently for Laura, my server. She never returned! She came back with my entree. The chicken Frankie...drowned in a vodka/Alfredo sauce, chicken, angel hair pasta, some artichokes and sliced green hot peppers. That's exactly what it tasted like. No uniqueness, nothing special...lacking real Italian flavor. No apologies no manager. I asked for a check no offer of dessert. Do they even have dessert or coffee...maybe! To be fare I will try them again. The service was the worse, Laura should consider other work! read more

So I'm slightly torn on this review because I went to eat here with my family and it was a pretty wide range of experiences. I'm giving it a three star because of the other members of my families experience joined with my own. The good: I had the seafood pasta and found it to be very enjoyable. It was not too heavy or oily. The pasta to seafood ratio was good. Taste was good as well. My son had the trio pasta and enjoyed it The bad: my mother in law ordered the manicotti and the cheese to pasta ratio was horrible. It was like one manicotti cheese with a ton of cheese sauce. She did not enjoy it and did not eat much. My wife ordered a pizza and it came with the wrong main topping and seemed like it had been sitting on the counter for a few minutes before arriving. The pizza itself wasn't bad but wasn't great either. Overall I would eat here again as my own dish was good but not sure I could talk everyone else into it. So go with an open mind but just know you may hit or miss. read more

Love Frankie's!! The Salmon Piccata is my favorite. I have them add artichoke to mine and it's delicious. I also get an extra order of just the piccata to take home. The service is fast, friendly and professional. read more

Their Spaghetti Works is so good. Meat sauce, meatballs and Italian sausage. So tasty and so much food. Yum yum!

It is true flavor at its peak and needs to be known and the spaghetti is amazing so worth remembering.

Went here on a whim while visiting family in Texas due to another restaurant being closed that day. We sure lucked out because this place was amazing. Some of the best Italian I've had. I'll definitely be going back again next time we visit Texas. read more

One of our favorite restaurants! We moved away and when we came back to visit we had to come back to Frankie's! Great date night atmosphere and the food is fantastic. read more

This is the place mobsters would use to plan a mob hit. Excellent food and atmosphere. Doesn't look like much outside by the freeway but really nice inside. My son and I usually split a spaghetti and meatballs because it's a lot of food. Take a look at the bar and see how they used colored wine bottles as a foot rest. Clever. We have had three different dishes here and all have been really good. If you haven't been here yet you should go! read more

I have had food two times by catered meals. It was HORRIBLE both times. One time chicken Alfredo and the other time lasagna. I would never pay a dime for this prison meal. I'm a Dutch girl and make lasagna that is the bomb. read more

We have visited this place a couple of years ago while driving through Beaumont and had sandwiches for lunch. Really loved that meal. Good experience. Driving through town again decided to stop for Sunday lunch. Parking lot and restaurant crowded - good sign. Well a bit disappointed. Place was crowded. Seems like folks like it because the portion is huge- with plenty to take home. For starters they bring homemade rolls. Again a large serving size more than you can eat with your meal (more take home). Far from the best we've had. Salad - nothing special some greens a tomato slice and one raw onion ring. The special was shrimp with mushrooms peppers and onions in a tomato sauce over angle hair pasta. Way more sauce than you need - not a very interesting taste either. Wife had chicken with spinach over pasta with a cream sauce. Not very interesting- sauce tasted more like something from a can. So maybe we just ordered the wrong item - but lesson learned-- stick with a sandwich.bathroom clean (that got them a Star). So food 2 + restrooms 1= 3. read more

This place has delicious authentic homemade Italian food... This is not a food chain Italian restaurant yet a family owned Italian business with delicious food, authentic Italian spices and attention to detail as well as great ambience and friendly staff. Highly recommend this place. The only negative thing I would give it that's not giving it. Five stars is the wine list could be a bit better... read more

We ordered pick up from there once it was pasta but the sauce I think it was Alfredo with shrimp did not taste Italian nor did it taste seSoned no flavor. I think I would have enjoyed the pizza more. Check it out for yourself. It's been in business for many many years read more

This is a homey, family style Italian restaurant. I have to say that they're pretty generous with their portions. They served complimentary garlic knot bread (not pictured), which was soft, aromatic, and delicious. The garlic and olive oil sauce that came with the bread was good, but a bit too overpowering. I think the bread was good on its own, in my opinion. For the appetizer, I ordered their Caesar salad, which was tasty as well. They were very generous with the parmesan cheese shavings. For the entree, I ordered the penne alla vodka. It was more creamy and less tangy than I'd like. But, it was pretty good. I did get to try a taste of the penne arrabbiata, and I enjoyed it very much. There was a tang coming from the red bell peppers and olives, and a spicy kick from the red pepper flakes. Next time I come back here, I'm ordering the penne arrabbiata. read more

Best things about Frankie's Italian Grill, and having been dining there for over 15 years, includes, as a minimum, the quality, consistency, realistic pricing and abundant food portions. I have yet to not have a "doggie" bag upon departure. The ambiance is very nice, abundant seating via tables or booths and adequate areas for large family or business seating. Mood is comfortable, no loud or irritating music, reasonably quiet even with a full house, majority of staff has been there for many years and customers are met with a welcome, very pleasant demeaner and well accommodated during their visit. We consider Frankie's Italian Grill to offer the best dining experience in the Beaumont, TX area based on the overall quality of their product, service and realistic expense. Give them a try, you will definitely be impressed. read more

Really enjoyed the food here. Had the chicken parmigiana and was really happy with it. I plan to come back soon.

Just stopped in here from out of town. The food from appetizer to entree was amazing!!! Service was great. We liked it so much we ordered cake to go! The place doesn't look like much from the outside but take my word for it you won't be disappointed read more

The homemade garlic knots were excellent! The Caesar salad was nice and had lots of freshly shaved Parmesan. The combo I ordered had chicken parm, fettuccine Alfredo, and lasagna. Nothing really stood out, but all were good. Service was also good. read more

I lived in Beaumont once upon a time and have these fond memories of eating at Frankies when it first opened and it being a wonderful experience. I really wish I could say that they lived up to my memory but they didn't at all. I'm not sure what was up with the pasta sauce but it was acidic and basically an instant case of heart burn. It didn't taste good and they could probably have done better buying canned sauce rather than making whatever this horrible horrible red acid sludge was. We got a Caprese salad for an appetizer and I'm not sure if they have never seen a properly plated Caprese salad or if they just didn't care but they clearly just sorta sliced some mozzarella and threw it on a plate then dumped a salad on top of it. I really dont understand what they were doing it was so annoying to me that I just re-plated the dish and it looked 10 times more appetizing. I ordered the muscles in white wine sauce and those were ok.. not great but they were the high-lite of my meal and I at-least dont have anything bad to say about those. I really always want to say good things about small locally owned places like this but unfortunately I dont have anything good to say here. Don't go to Frankie's Italian Grill its just not worth it. read more

Ok so yes you have to do a double take due to the outside of the building. But just go in!! You will not be disappointed. Very friendly staff, good food, worth the stop. read more

I decided to try Frankie's one night for pizza. It was a nice surprise and loaded. You pay about the same as you might pay for somewhere like Papa John's but for a better product in my humble opinion. I'd rather my money go to someone local than chain restaurants which Beaumont is plagued by. Their other menu options are pretty consistent and tasty as well. Faleminderit! read more

Good food and good service . Old school family food and yet taste good. What can I say it's good food like mom use to make.

You have a bohemian atmosphere mixed with the American "never ending" garlic bread. My favorite dish is the combo I have a Cheese OD every time. The kids menu is very good, my girls like the spaghetti with meat balls. The service is fine, but a waitress spilled an entire tray of drinks in some poor girl lap... anyway non of my biz. read more
