I actually went here before the pandemic but didn't have the option to choose a year before 2023 for my review. I am aching for this place to reopen. The absolute best vegan breakfast restaurant I've ever been to, and, yes, I've been to others....I had no idea what to expect and was blown away, as were my non-vegan family members with their non-vegan meals. Looked forward to coming back only to be sorely disappointed they were no longer there. Glad to have experienced it!!!More

Have found this place to have some good and tasty food for this area. Just have found it more on the pricier side. But it’s good for a change.

We stumbled upon this restaurant while visiting our son at school. A little unsure, we stepped in. From that point on, the staff made us feel like we owned the place. Excellent food (not unlike a diner in its setting, but the chef prepares typical...dishes in extraordinary fashion. Vegan friendly as well. Do yourself a favor and stop by if you're in the area.More

Small restaurant, bright and clean. Friendly, caring staff. Delicious soft tofu scramble with generous amounts of fresh red and green peppers, onions and spinach. Tasty cornbeef sandwich, fluffy pancakes and excellent bananas foster Belgium waffle. Make sure you ask if food is gluten/corn/dairy/soy/egg free because...it's not noted on the menu, however the staff is knowledgeable and willing to check. Will definitely be back!😊More

Just took my mom here for the first time...parking is a little small, but the food is delicious and the service is very attentive and helpful. Could probably remove a table or 2 inside to create more walk through space since it can get pretty...tight when busy. Highly recommend the 'Trash Truck' and the 'Monte Cristo' simply delicious!More

Breakfast was amazing. Service took a while but only because they were busy. Once we put our order in everything came quickly.

Took off of work one day and took my daughter to breakfast. The place is wonderful, we parked right in front. The breakfast was delicious.. I had the Cannoli stuffed french toast and scrapple. It was so big, I took half home. My daughter got...the Bananas Foster Pancakes. That was delicious.. The waitress was wonderful! I would definitely go back.More

This place is a mom and pop must visit. This place could easily be on diners drive ins and dives for the food flavors and choices. Located in a quaint little strip mall where all the other shops wish they had as many people going...in and out of their places. Tofu scramble was soo good I ordered another to go meal of the chicken and waffles for my wife at home.More

I can’t give enough praise to Frankie’s on their delicious options for vegetarians and vegans! I love their “meatless” wings and cheesesteaks - they rival almost any place in philly.

We were referred this place by one of my son’s therapists that used to come to our home weekly when we first moved to the area. Now, don’t get me wrong, the food is great. But, the prices are over my budget; around $12-$13 for...one omelette, and I don’t pay that anywhere else - I’m talking about a create your own omelette is what I don’t even pay that much for! I have yet to try other dishes as well as trying lunch there, I just haven’t been able to do so yet due to a busy schedule on my end. The second time we went to sit down and eat, we ended up walking out because they were letting people cut in front of us when we got there before them, and that wasn’t fair to us. We won’t dine there again, but are willing to try different dishes as well as trying lunch and dinner there. That’s why I gave the 3 out of 5 rating.More

Parking is a bad problem in this small strip mall. Frankie’s has good food though portions not overly generous. Will certainly eat here again.

My friends and I have been to Frankie's a few times. Delicious food, great waitstaff! Two negatives, the bathroom is down a steep flight of stairs and the parking is limited. Other than that, it's so worth going there.

Good food, attentive staff. I tried a vegan pancake and tofu scramble. I do wish the tofu scramble had had more tofu in it.
