Garlic parm wings. The freshly grated cheese is such a good touch. Best wings in the city by far.
Bad pic, but the friday steak dinner is a 12-oz sirloin with garlic mashed potatoes. For $16 this is a great deal.

Franks is the typical hole in the wall and those of you that have read my reviews know I love these places. The service is good at Franks and the bartenders are friendly and can carry a conversation. Atmosphere is very eclectic - see my pictures. The food specials are a deal so make sure to check those out. I had the cowboy burger on this visit but have also had the NY strip which is good. The cowboy burger is sautéd onions, cheddar, bacon and candied jalapeños. Handmade burger and very tasty. Only complaint is the burger was thick but not wide enough to cover the bun. Give Franks a try

Stopped in on a Saturday late afternoon, this place was busy but felt cramped and dark. They were busy, but we were able to find a seat at the bar and waited over 15 mins, to order a drink, neither barmaid behind the bar acknowledged us. So we didn't stay.Don't get me wrong i like a good dive bar that has good food , and cheap drinks. Other places that are busy , acknowledge you and say " hi how you doing, be with you as soon as we can" and only takes about 5 to 10 mins before you get service.

another great meal at Frank's. normally we (me and my coworkers) come in on a Friday night for the steak special - which is, for the money, unbeatable. tonight was "chef's special", which happened to be Chicken Paprikash. i'm not a fan so I decided to have the Cowboy Burger and fries. just straight up delicious. i'm not sure i've ever had anything here that was bad. really love it.

Atmosphere: I actually love the inside of this little place. From the outside, it looks like a shack. Like nothing more then maybe a storage shed or an outhouse. But the inside is so charming and inviting. There's two Ohio lottery machines, which is great because we went just to catch the beginning of the browns game and have a couple appetizers while playing some keno. Food & Drinks: I had my usual (whiskey neat. Kinda hard to screw up). Kayla got a beer. She said it tasted funky though. Like it may have been skunked (for those of you who don't know, that's when your beer is refrigerated then comes to room temp and refrigerated again). Now we were only here to play a couple games of keno so we only got two appetizers this time. The big ass pretzel and the pickle chips. Kayla said the big ass pretzel was DELICIOUS and the chipotle aioli had a pretty potent kick but it didn't stop her from eating it all. The pickle chips (served with ranch) were also delicious. Server was pleasant enough and it is definitely somewhere where we will be coming back. Next thing on the menu we will be trying is the frankenfurter and the wings.Tips for restaurant. -Update your website, make the menu more easy to find and navigate. -On your wings menu, be specific that "Franks hot" is not the actual Franks Name-brand hot sauce but actually, your house made sauce. Simply changing the menu from "Franks hot" to "Franks house hot" would make all the difference because people who actually live hot wings steer WAY clear from that crap. -Get a crispy chicken sandwich on that menu, y'all. That's the only thing your perfect selection of pub food is missing! We will be back and I will update the review!

The Wednesday special is where it's at, that is the best time ever to come to Frank's! This is a great little small restaurant bar to come to and chill out.

I have reviewed this place before and it remains one of my favorite hangouts in Akron. It has an eclectic crowd with sporadic juke box music, good selection of beer and just the most family feel (Somebody say Cheers?) of any bar. The small U shaped bar leads to instant connections and conversation. You cant be a stranger long at Franks. The food specials are much better and cheaper than you'd expect from a local gin joint like this. It always amazes me to see folks wearing Tux and gowns stop in for a nightcap or real fun after some fund raiser gala. have a laugh!

Just went for the first time and loved it! Very cool, chill, simple neighborhood bar with good food and even better service. Really awesome people! We went on Sunday night, wing night, although not much of a special at 90 cents each. Value, in general, isn't as great as most hole in the wall bars, but still pretty good. Average drink prices and food on par with average restaurant prices. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a cozy, low key, intimate kinda vibe.
