    Their food is damn delicious (if not woefully unhealthy) A few tips though: Fries are meh. Go for the chips. At the time of me writing this review there's a Yelp check in freebie for an order of them if you get a sandwich and drink. Use it so that the people who work here know how to handle it (kid ringing me out had to call a manager) Sometimes the burger of the month and the shake of the month are hit or miss. If it sounds weird it probably is. Onion rings are enormous. If you forgo chips, get these (still skipping the fries) Order online: this isn't McDonald's with stuff rotting under a heat lamp, if you're in a hurry (or impatient) order on their website, waltz in at the appropriate time, and avoid waiting. Personally, I love the Thanksgiving burger (it's always BotM in November) and the cheesy burger with bacon. I'm not a big milkshake person, but the few I've had that were normal flavors were good. Is this Five Guys or Shake Shack? Hell no...but a decent burger in the Dirty Water they are.

    Decent burgers but there is way better out there. The fries suck . I usually get the homemade chips those are good . The Irish nachos are sooo good but last time they gave me all topping and no chips . I'm just glad I didn't get hair in my burger this time like I did the last time.

    Way too pricey for the amount of food you get. I'm a girl with a HUGE appetite and Jake's Wayback did not deliver. I ordered Irish nachos, fries and a chili dog. Work is about 2 mins away, I finish my fries before I got back to the hospital parking lot. Seriously I can't believe the serving size was that small! No I didn't order from the kid's menu. The fries were decent, hot and the oil was fresh but I just didn't get enough. Oh what happened to throwing ketchup packages into take out orders? I would have appreciated at least two ketchup packages. My chili dog was a total disappointment. I can't believe I paid $4 for that depressing dog! Two mouthfuls and the dog disappeared! The chili was okay... Nothing amazing. The best item from my order that day was the Irish nachos. Again the serving was on the skimpy side. Definitely will order it again if I'm in the plaza. The staff behind the counter consisted of high schoolers. Poor child didn't know how to flirt.. He complimented me on my credit card. Ummm I had an American Express... Not sure what made him think it was "cute". The location has potential because they're really no competition in the area besides subway. I wish the prices were better and the serving size was larger. I could have gotten a real meal for $15.

    This is cheese Cheesy Bacon Tater Tots not good I didn't like it

    We ordered Burges and thought that would come with fries, you know everywhere sell burgers with fries so just be advised burger doesn't come with fries you need to order separately that was frustrating but the burger itself is pretty tasty

    Thought the hamburgs lacked any taste and found prices to be a bit excessive for the items. Staff was rather robotic.

    They have a large menu, but I like best, the Philly Burger and Onion Rings. They are the best in Waterbury.

    If you're craving a classic, no-frills, absolutely perfect hot dog, Frankie's is the place to go…read more The dogs are grilled just right with that perfect snap, the buns are always fresh, and the toppings--whether you're into chili, onions, sauerkraut, or just classic mustard--are spot on every time. But it's not just about the dogs. Their fries are golden and crispy, the onion rings are addictive, and the milkshakes hit the spot. The whole menu delivers that nostalgic, satisfying, comfort-food goodness that keeps you coming back. Service is always friendly and quick, and the retro vibe gives the whole place a fun, laid-back feel. You can tell this place has been doing it right for years--and it shows. Frankie's really is the hot dog king, and once you try it, you'll totally understand why!

    After just finishing a late breakfast at Mary's Diner just up the road, I saw a sign for Frankie's…read more I am drawn to hot dogs like a moth is drawn to light, so I had to stop in. Frankie's uses foot-long Hummel dogs, but made to Frankie's specifications. The bun is New England style, with the flat sides, and it was perfectly toasted. Condiments / toppings are in two locations. I ordered one, and topped it w deli mustard and kraut. Very, very good, but not up there w the best of the best, at least to me. And the price, at $4.98 plus the ubiquitous CT meal tax, was a bit steep. No indoor or outdoor seating. 4 stars
