Frank’s Outback has 45 seats inside the building and interestingly, the patrons get to walk through the open kitchen to enter the dining room. Once inside, you sense a warm welcoming atmosphere. The walls are painted in a cool blue with original artwork on the walls. White tablecloths, candle light, hand polished silverware and glassware grace the tables. There are also 100 seats outside, set in a garden setting under a canopy of trees. The outdoor seats are covered and not affected by weather. In the Fall and Winter guests are warmed by infrared heaters and the large outdoor fireplace.

    The food is very good. This place is very popular so the tables are close with the noise level excessive especially in competition with holiday music. Service is pretty good with lots of dashing around.

    No caramel cake? Our daughter’s birthday is the week of Thanksgiving and she always looks forward to Frank’s caramel cake with the flaming candle. Silly me. Never dreamed Franks would not have the cake on a holiday week! I have been summarily punished for my mistake. 😞. We always enjoy the ambience, food, service, etc. Thank you for always having crab cakes on the menu!

    3 of our meals were great. My fiancée got the salmon meal and it was overly salty and unappetizing. Rice was mushy and it just didn’t taste good at all.
