Recently ate here with my girlfriend on a thursday evening, and left with little to be desired. The food was lame, the music was lame, the atmosphere was...well, you get the idea. The servers spent half the time chatting to each other, and we waited for 30 minutes for our food to come. But before that our appetizers of 'riblets' looked as unappetizing as they tasted; like little turd formations. The appearance of this pub could have potential if it was kept up, which is clearly wasn't.
Hands down, won't be returning in this life time.

...and not stopped. As previous reviewers mentioned, it doesn't look promising from the outside. We stopped in for lunch.

We were there early, and had our choice of seats. Nice looking place inside, with several levels and areas and a sunny deck outside. The washrooms were impeccable, and that's saying something for a pub!

Drinks came quickly, food orders taken. Hubby had a salmon burger with wasabi mayo, caesar salad on the side. I went for the benchmark steak sandwich with fries, cooked rare please.

Salmon burger was huge and tasty, caesar salad was quite good. My poor steak sandwich wasn't quite as much of a success. Such a thin, thin piece of meat cannot possibly be cooked "rare", and it was quite well done. Fries were hot and fresh, onion rings were really good.

Service was excellent, fast and friendly. I can see this place becoming a neighbourhood hangout when the area finishes redeveloping. Quite pleasant.

We thought they would be more of a restaurant. You know, food, comfortable seats and a chance to catch up. Instead it was just your typical dive bar. Pool, darts, pitchers of beer, lame group of guys trying to insult you without knowing it (at least I hope they dont know how insulting they are). They do have a food menu but it is not that rich. Oh, and beware of the creepy businessmen with the power suits. Um, excuse me, "do I know you?" Gross.

This pub surprised me with how good their food is. The portion is pretty big too. Chicken wings are pretty darn good also. Had their pasta and let me tell you that for a pub, their pasta are better than some italian restaurant.

The service is quite good. Nothing special but nothing bad. The prices are cheap compared to restaurants. Overall this is one of the better pub for food. Definitely going back.

I've been going to the pub since the early 2000s and I have to say that its great! Not only is it good to have a clean quality establishment in the community...the food is excellent! Being a women, I'm happy that the washrooms are always clean and customers are of a good crowd. When I'm out with a group of women, I never feel intimidated here.

When I don't feel like cooking, Frankie is there to save the day! This is not your regular pub food, that is for sure. Of course you have your typical burgers & fries, but then you have a huge diverse menu of entrees. The evening menu & atmosphere is great! The lights are dimmed, candles on the table, its our big night out! :)

As for my favorites: (1) CRACK PEPPER wings, I have NOT ever eaten wings this big anywhere they are HUGE!. (2) Fresh halibut Fish & Chips, excellent!! (3) Pasta Tuesday/Sundays kick the other local establishments butt! The price is good, because the dishes are huge, no way you can finish and the sauces are so rich in flavor...mmmmm! TORDELLINI PASTA is a must! They have a new chef and he's changed the menu to kick it up a notch. It has been a great change!

My husband works on Annacis Island, so he and his workers visit Frankie's at lunch quite often. He always says that service is consistent, quick & friendly even when its their busiest time. He often has business meetings there over lunch since they got free wireless internet! I'm not into sports, but he loves his TV, so he likes that all the Pay Per View events are available. I love this place and its so close to home!

Having lived in the area for many years I have eaten here more times than I can count. The pub itself is well laid out with a couple of fireplaces, a large bar, outdoor patio and enough riverfront decor to make it interesting as well as comfortable. There are two large screens and a handful of smaller flat screen tv's to make viewing easy from any seat in the house. This makes it the perfect place to watch the game with a cold beer and a basket of wings. You can be sure that the house is packed whenever there's a big game on. Unfortunately that is where the fun ends, the menu has been recently updated but the only real change seems to be an increase in prices. The menu has decent variety but the food preparation is not anything special. I would describe most of the food as just average. The pizza is not good, anything requiring more preparation than deep frying is slapped together. You get the feeling that the cook really doesn't enjoy their job. There is no attention to detail, wilted vegetables on your burger or in the salad are not uncommon. Any special requests are met with attitude and often ignored. I often get the impression that I am bothering these people by stopping in to spend some money. That leads to the servers, there is a revolving door of wait staff and for the most part they are trained well enough to bring what you order but they don't seem to be enjoying themselves either. I have never had the experience here of having someone take my order that was pleasant to talk to, or had them bring me what I ordered without me wishing that I'd gone to the greek restaurant down the street or made it myself at home. Why do I come here? It feels like a pub, there's a tv, they have beer and I can walk home. If you are looking for more than that try across the river at the Paddlewheeler or River's reach. They both have a fun atmosphere, drink and dinner specials and fun stuff during the game too. That's really what I want Frankie G's to be, a fun place to spend an evening with friends. Unfortunately it is not headed in that direction. Should you make the mistake of staying past 11 you will also get the Frankie G's version of the bum's rush where they crank up bad pop music until you give up conversation and go home.

We found the pub to be very loud with televisions and the crowd fighting themselves. Very little comforatable seating, mostly 3' rounds with stools. Caters to the 20's age group, if that is what you're looking for. The food was good but only affordable with the 2 for 1 coupon.

We went to this pub on a saturday night , my wife and i had looked forward to having a good meal on our night away from the children , after parking in the very small empty parking lot ,noticed how poorly maintained the property looked and the condition of the dangerous looking stairs to the front doors where in .the food was typical of the venue and service was terrible , place was empty and still servers spent more time talking amongst themselves than actually looking after the 5 or so customers that where in there .Prices were way to high as well for the quality of the meal , kinda like eating dennys type food for twice the price

Although it is necessary to follow the signs to get to frankie's, once you find it you will not be disappointed.. People come from all areas of canada and the usa to relax and enjoy the incredible service and food at this nautical theme pub. I have been to this pub several times and quite enjoy many different meals. Their menu is quite diverse, different from the common pub food although you will of course find tasty wings and nachos. Some of my favourites include the fisherman's salad, the steak sandwich, tortellini a la panne pasta, the lamb shank, and the prime rib (which is on special quite often). One of my favourite specials is on thursday when they have two can dine for 45$. You get appies, entrees and a bottle of wine for $45!! What a great deal! Perfect for a quiet evening out with your hunny. The service is quick and friendly, and i recommend this pub to everyone.
