    Franky's BBQ Baby Back Ribs

    Best price and portion around. Franky's is truly an amazing restaurant. Ribs are actually really good. Chicken Cesar Salad wrap is also very solid. Good burger and good Chicago weenier Fries could use some seasoning

    Stopped here for some lunch before checking into our room and grabbed a couple Chicago dogs. Drive thru was quick and the dogs were nicely decorated with all their jewelry. Long slices of pickles and whole peppers were good with not too much mustard. Really nice crew was working making sure the order was correct.

    We stopped in at Franky's on Main Street in St. Charles for a quick bite. From the outside, it looks like a hotdog joint. We were pleasantly surprised at the variety of options on the menu. We enjoyed the Gyros Sandwich, Meatball Sandwich, Fish Sandwich, Battered Mushrooms and a Chef Salad. We enjoyed our meals which were reasonably priced. The service was very friendly and good. The dining room was noticeably in need of being wiped down. We had to search out a clean table to sit at. The dining area feels like a "typical diner" with black, white, and red decor. If you have a family or a group of people with very different tastes, this would be the restaurant for you. The variety is amazing and the price is right.

    Take your time to browse. Huge selection

    I am infatuated with this place, It is conveniently located on the main drag through St Charles. Over several trips I enjoyed The Polish, the hot dogs,the Brat, the chicken gyro, the Italian Beef and of course the Beef Sausage combo. The dogs,brat and polish all come Chicago style. Each item I had was amazing. The crew there know what they are doing and were always helpful. Franky's is an excellent alternative to the bigger places that offer the same fare. Franky's gets it out to you fast and there isn't a long line. Hope to be back there in a few weeks

    Very good Italian beef and Gyros. The guy at the drive-up window was real nice too. I will definitely go back.

Their stuffed crust pizza is unlike any other type of deep dish, so cheesy & delish! I also had their arancini, it is some of the best I have ever had, stuffed with cheese & spinach it will leave you wanting more! Their Cesar salad is so good as well, you can get a big one to share and it's more than enough. Their pasta & other appetizers are all great too. All of their locations have been a great experience. Service at each location is different, most being spectacular with a couple times I've had a not so friendly waitress. Otherwise service is quick & attentive, and very good. This is a great location, across from the Theatre if you have concert or just wanna walk around downtown St. Charles, there's a lot in this area. You should definitely give Riverside a try, you won't regret it!

Unfortunately, it was a flop. We spent over $100 expecting high-quality, local pizza, but were left wondering what all the hype was about. The sauces were bland and barely noticeable, the crust was dry and completely lacking in flavor, and the pizza overall felt low-effort. I specifically asked for extra toppings on one of the pizzas, but what we received hardly qualified as "extra." It felt like a waste of money. This was meant to be a treat for my family and guests, but I could barely eat more than one slice per box. I ended up giving most of it away just to avoid having to deal with leftovers. The crust, especially, was a huge letdown--more like a cracker than pizza dough. I enjoy thick crusts or even a thinner style, but this was just too dry and crunchy to enjoy. Really wish the quality lived up to the price point. This place was unfortunately not for us.

The restaurant has a beautiful aesthetic that feels modern, bright, and inviting. The private room where the party was held was perfect and conveniently located right off the main dining room, which made it feel both intimate and connected to the rest of the restaurant. The service was excellent. Our waitress was attentive and friendly, consistently checking in and making sure everyone had the drink refills they wanted. She did a great job managing a larger group, which really added to the positive experience. The food was phenomenal. As a starter, we had the prosciutto and fig bruschetta, which was a standout. I had never tried anything like it before, but I absolutely loved the balance of sweet and salty flavors. It was unique, well prepared, and a great way to start the meal. For the main course, we sampled a variety of dishes, including pastas, chicken parmesan, and the wood-fired pizza. Everything we tried was flavorful, and there were no complaints from anyone at the table. I loved the margherita pizza and the pepperoni pizza! I also ordered the Ibisco Fizz mocktail, which had an amazing balance of hibiscus tea, peach, and lemon flavor with a bubbly texture from the soda. I'd order this again, too! Overall, this was a wonderful first visit with great food, service, and atmosphere. I would love to come back for dinner in the near future to try more items from the menu.
