    I have become a huge fan of this place particularly since I solved the GrubHub problem of repeated…read morecancelled deliveries--if you order through Yelp and live on the south side your order may well be cancelled at the last minute and not delivered. The wonderful customer service driven young lady who answered the phone confirmed she'd received my orders and prepared them and multiple drivers had come but not taken delivery. UberEats is the way to go. I highly recommend the curly fries, grilled cheese sandwich (add bacon--everything tastes better with bacon), patty melts and onion rings. Be careful with the "hotdogs" because they are more akin to a polish sausage than a Vienna Beef hotdog--still delicious but just an FYI. So the very best thing about this place are the milkshakes, especially the Green River Milkshake which harkened me back to my youth and this shake at Goldblatts or the bus turnaround on 63rd & South Park (now King Dr. and its long gone). Great place dine in, take out or delivery!

    I've been craving a smash burger and I decided to stop on here for lunch. My first time but I've…read morebeen driving by several times since I moved to Chicago. Ordered the cheese burger with everything and decided last minute on the Irish nachos since I heard people review them. The burger was a nice size and cooked well. It was delicious, I enjoyed it. The Irish nachos, not so much. It was a heap of sodium city omg I didn't really eat them. So the cheese is the ultra processed cheese on them so it was super salty. You got the salt from the fries, the fake cheese and the bacon. Way too much salt for me and that fake cheese was revolting for me :( Note to self, NEVER order that if I return. It's a cool, old school dinner type of spot. I was the youngest person in there so not sure if younger folks go there or not. The service was good.

    Service is prompt and friendly, order was accurate…read more The beef taco comes on a flour tortilla with lettuce, cheese, and tomatoes. I noticed the tomatoes had a yeasty/alcohol flavor, suggesting they were overripe and starting to ferment. I wouldn't get a taco here again because it didn't have a good overall flavor even without the tomato issue. The pizza puffs are very greasy, but good, with a slight spiciness to them. Maybe pepperoni? Only had a few bites to try, but would get them again. The gyros are huge! The Tzatziki sauce comes on them, but you can get it on the side if you let them know your preference. They put a lot on the sandwich, but it's at the bottom with the tomatoes and onions, so if you end up pulling some of the onions off like I did (and there are a lot), I suggest getting the sauce on the side so half of it doesn't end up discarded with the onions. Note: It's 50 cents if you add EXTRA Tzatziki sauce on the side. According to the person in my party the double cheeseburger was good but I didn't personally try it. I didn't care for the shoestring fries, but I'm not a fan of that style of fries, so take that as you will.

    I decided to try here today. I had no idea what I wanted. The man told me to take my time. I went…read morewith the fish sandwich no tarter which came with fries. The food was good and the people were nice.

    The beef sandwiches are my favorite! They pile on the meat and peppers, the bread is always fresh. I also love the Gyros.

    My husband has lived in the area for a few years now and I just recently moved to the area…read more He wanted fish but from a fast food place and I prefer a sit down to eat. Well, I came to Yelp and Frankie V's popped up. Crazy thing, we do our grocery shopping across the street from Frankie V's! So we had passed it many times. We were warmly greeted by the bartender Natalie. She was awesome! It was full at the bar, Sunday Night Football so totally understandable. We sat in the booth. The booth was comfy and cozy. It's a cool spot, total "Cheers" vibe. We had our mind on fish sandwiches but the unassuming owner, Martina came by and greeted us. Then she gave us the rundown on what was the best items. EVERYTHING here is homemade, made from scratch! Loved that! She sold us on the special, 8pc chicken (the whole chicken), fries and an XL 1-topping pizza for $39.00. Well we got it and boy that was THEE BEST fried chicken I have had in YEARS. I mean YEARS! Literally fresh and dripping hot juices everywhere! It was seasoned to perfection! So good! The pizza was INCREDIBLE! It was a great crust and the flavor was amazing! The fries were good! Home cut, I could tell! We delighted in our meal! We look forward to returning soon and trying the fish!
