My mom got some caprese, I ordered the landy and my dad the bray's way. I ate half of my sandwich, but my dad could only get through 1/4 of it. We were full for hours. I loved the spinach on my sandwich. The mozzarella was also perfection. The ingredients are high quality and we raved about our food. The service was a bit scattered, but we walked in behind a duo that ordered 8 sandwiches, so we empathize with the chaos!

Hard roll is apparently baked in-house, as are most (all?) of the baked goods. Warning: still cash only, and no free refills on the drinks (except for coffee and maybe unsweet ice tea). Otherwise, with friendly service and the oldest of old school Asbury Park vibes, this place is perfection.

We walked in on a Saturday morning over Memorial Day weekend and it was entirely packed and everyone was in good spirits including the wait staff. We came in with a mild hangover, and Frank's was the perfect spot to offer all the comfort, food and coffee to jolt us back into the energy of the day. We ordered rounds of coffees and pork roll, egg, and cheeses. We also threw in orders of mac & cheese, chili fries, and potato salad, which were all incredible each and of their own. If you're looking for a place that does a New Jersey diner right and are looking for a no-frills breakfast place when visiting Asbury Park this is definitely your go to.

The Meg - Huge portion, easily split between two people. The buffalo was not too saucy and a little on the less than average amount of sauce. Chicken was plentiful and it can get messy.

They do classic hot and cold subs, but they also have specialty subs where they do parms, wraps, etc. Great to pick up a sub and go to the beach. I enjoyed the American - which is roast beef, lettuce, tomato, provolone, onions, and horseradish mayo (which I left off and did oil and vinegar instead). Roast beef pretty soft in texture. Provolone could have been a little more sharp/flavorful. Overall, excellent spot.

We were seated right away on a Thursday afternoon on their front sidewalk patio. I ended up ordering the Green Machine bowl (normally vegan and gluten free) but added grilled chicken to it. It was delicious! A combo of roasted broccoli, warm lentils, parsley pesto, avocado, and marinated kale. Everything was cooked perfectly, and while this is basically something I make on rotation at home, I loved the pesto sauce and will definitely be trying to replicate that on my own. Perfect lunch that left my full and not even a little sluggish. They do have a few drinks on the menu like kombucha, cold brew, and sodas, but if you are looking for anything more than that in the coffee arena, you'll need to pop by a neighboring cafe afterwards. Service was friendly but not too fast. It was a busy day and we were in no rush, so we didn't mind. All in all, a great place for a delicious brunch.
