    First time going for my sister's birthday and we were not disappointed! It was the onion loaf on the website that secured our dinner spot, and it was delicious. Delicious steaks and yummy dessert. Fast service. We'll be back!

    Frank's is a great place for steak along with many other ,menu options. We have never been served a bad meal and the staff is always quite pleasant and reasonably attentive. The steaks are priced far less than the other well known and expensive steak houses, but the steaks taste just as good. The Sizzler is my favorite. No surprise that Frank's has been in its current location for more than 80 years.

    Dinner and drinks at the bar with friends. Fried seafood app, rocket salads, prime rib, fried scallops. Everything was great. The seafood was sooo fresh, scallops were the star of the evening - fresh, sweet, and cooked perfectly. We’ll definitely be back.

    We are new to the area, and were looking for a Steakhouse to dine at. Frank's has that old world atmosphere where you just picture the old guys getting together with their glasses of scotch and a giant steak. Nothing fancy, nothing extraordinary However, a very affordable steakhouse for any night of the week, and the food was good, and our waitress was a doll.

    I love the idea of Frank's -- old school steakhouse with friendly service and big portions. The food, however, wasn't great. Caesar salad was soaked in gloppy dressing; ribeye steak was extremely fatty and not all that flavorful; sizzing steak was probably the best thing we got and it was just okay. $35 for each of these steaks and I'm not sure the value was there. Our server was very nice and attentive so that was good, but I wouldn't rush back.

    Went on 10/19, classic old time steak house. We had a party of four. My brother got the sizzler 15oz Sirloin and rated it as excellent. The other three got the 9 oz sirloin. The 9oz is a lesser quality steak than the sizzler. Next time I will get the sizzler and split it with my wife. Based on this experience, I would go back and I do recommend Frank’s steak house.

    I’ll tell you now, Frank’s never disappoints!! I’ve been there more than 100 times and it’s always a great meal. I always have a different meal on my mind, but I always sway towards the Tomahawk steak. Best thing on the menu and bar none best around! Cooked to perfection See you again soon

    This is a neighborhood place for me that is great for meeting up with friends/family or special occasions like a graduation. There were 6 of us, we had a good table, excellent waitress and all the food items ordered were cooked to specification and very good. With today's restaurant prices, it was was a good value, about $45pp before tip and we got some appetizers, clam chowder, no alcohol.

    Honestly? If you want some great food go here. Parking is made as convenient as possible considering it's in Cambridge, but the food is worth it. Steak tips were made to perfection, the Tomahawk Steak is 3 pounds, seasoned, and cooked really well. Worth the trip.

    Love the outside sign and then it takes a turn once inside. First clue should have been all the nats surrounding our table and how comfortable they were on the wall. Nachos were basic and minimal hard cheese. NE clam chowder too thick and not seasoned enough. Braised short rib special tasteless but tender. Steaks had no seasoning. Chicken on Cesar salad was delicious but dressing was not good. Best part was the brownie sundae!!
