I had a bunch of family in town and so we went out to Frankies for dinner Sunday night. First we waited 15 minutes until anyone came to the table to take our drink order. Then when are food came there were two dinners missing and our salads we never put in. I understand that when a restraunt is busy,... more

My family and I drove from Richmond to Virginia Beach to eat at Frankies (over an hour's drive) but it was definitley worth it. The place was packed, yet we got an available table for 4 in just a few minutes. Service was good, and the food was great. I ordered the Queen size ribs and they did not disappoint.... more

Frankie's has THE BEST ribs I've ever had. I have not been there since they relocated from Laskin Road to Virginia Beach Boulevard, but I'm sure the tasty baby back ribs are still outstanding. Imagine a KING sized rack of mouth-watering ribs just barely clinging to the bone... smoked and seasoned with Frankie's signature barbeque sauce... and a HUGE deep... more

We have made it a tradition to eat at Frankies for the last 10 yrs. They have a great chicken and ribs dinner, and the onion loaf is to die for. However, I heard that they are closing down the Laskin Ave. Frankies. Hopefully they are going to remain within walking distance of the beach if they do reopen. more

This is a great casual place for BBQ. The service has been a little slow in the past, but our last experience here was terrific. Our waiter was attentive and quick on the refills. My husband and I shared the falling off the bone, king rack of ribs and a pulled pork sandwich, both terrific. The onion ring loaf, was... more

After seeing the advertisements for Frankies, Best of the Beach we decided to try it. Big mistake. Waitress was not helpfull at all, did not explain the specials or the coupons. Told us we could use both, although the coupon stated we could not. Was very slow, only 10 people in the whole place. When I would ask a qusetion... more

We chose Frankie's Ribs because of the advertisements found in the Sunny Guide and Virginia Dining Guide. Frankie's is on Laskin Road, within easy walking distance from 31 Atlantic Avenue. We arrived around 7:00 pm and found the place to be almost empty. There were only 3 tables that were full. We ordered the barbecued chicken for $10.99. This included... more

We absolutely loved this restaurant and agree that it is worth the drive or walk. The service was outstanding as was the food. I am not usually too big on ribs, but ordered the shrimp and ribs combination and cleaned my plate. My husband and I have already decided to go to Frankie's again when we're at the beach in... more
