Lee Frank's is a very popular local burger and hot dog joint, with this Wells eatery located in the former Gravy restaurant on US 1 next to the Moody Post Office. They also have locations in South Berwick and Exeter, NH. They serve up burgers, hot dogs, homemade onion rings, crinkle cut fries, chili cheese fries, shakes, and cold drinks (Coke products) from the cooler. Burgers, hot dogs, and fries can be made dirty style for $1.25 more which is house sauce and sauteed onions. The prices here seem fair. The place is order at the counter and there is table seating with blue metal chairs and booth back seats and high top tables with stools, spread out more than their other locations, Exeter seating area is cramped.
I made two visits to Lee Frank's over the past two weeks. On the visit last week, I ordered a loaded (not dirty) Cheeseburger ($6.25 plus tax), Red Baron Hot Dog ($4.75 plus tax), Chili Cheese Fries ($5.50 plus tax), and a Special Tropical Punch Shake ($5.50 plus tax). My food was ready in about 10 minutes after ordering and brought out by staff on a tray.
On my most recent visit, I ordered the Dirty Style Cheeseburger ($7.50 plus tax) and Dirty Style Fries ($4.75 plus tax), this time through the Toast app. My order was all set in about 7 minutes.
I enjoyed my food in shop both times. The Red Baron Dog was loaded with red cabbage & brown mustard over grilled hot dog which had a snap to the bite in a soft hot dog bun. The Cheeseburger was grilled well done beef patty with melted American cheese with plenty of mustard, ketchup, lettuce, tomato, onions, and pickles on a soft bun. The chili cheese fries had golden crinkle cut fries topped with cheese sauce and meat chili. The tropical punch shake was thick and sweet, which was a vanilla shake mixed with Hawaiian Punch Polar Blast, topped with green jimmies.
The dirty style loaded cheeseburger and dirty style fries were both very messy and the addition of the house sauce and the sweet sauteed onions is a real game changer.
Overall, the greasy goodness of Lee Frank's was very tasty and messy each time and worth the drive! read more
