    A great local non-chain steakhouse which rivals the high end chains. A local community flavor with excellent quailty steaks. Prime rib is good. We visit Boston 2X/year and it's a must on our list.

    A classic, as always! We kicked off Christmas week with steak & baked potatoes and a wedge salad with blue cheese. Perfection!

    Zero pretense at Franks. Just good drinks, and sizzling steaks in a comfortable setting. Returned for what is now becoming an annual holiday dinner with old friends. We were in no hurry, and staff understood that balancing attentiveness with patience. Great experience

    Franks never disappoints!! I quick put together plan and this is the only place that comes to mind for a great steak! If you are a fan of the Tomahawk steak, then this steak is a MUST! Cooked to perfection and the taste is unbelievable! We will be back again soon!

    Last night my Fiancé and I and our two friends had dinner. We normally have no problems and have a very pleasant experience. However last night was not the case. We ordered, took 20 minutes to get our drinks. 15 minutes to get our appetizers (Four cups chowder) then when we got our apps, another 45 minutes till we got our dinner. Horrible service. However we will be back.
