If you happen to be in that toilet bowl of a city known as South Bend and want a beer or a cheap drink and are ready for some fun or funny times talking to patrons - go to Franks Place. Big parking lot, free wi-fi, and cheap booze attached to a liquor store. The food is worth skipping - unless they are making popcorn.
Review Source:Stop into Frank's for a great lunch! Â Nice portions and service was timely and friendly. Â Atmosphere is comfortable and inviting. Â Cheerful bunch and try to return when in the area. Â Sort of a diamond in the rough, more upscale than the location may appear. Â I'm always searching for home cooked, off the beaten path places. Â This fit the bill and you can have a drink if you wish. Â Last time I was in, folks were returning for their Friday night entertainment. Â Sounds fun to hang out at also. Â Definately worth stopping in. Â Enjoy!
Review Source:For my taste Frank's fits the profile of a great place to get a filling meal at an affordable price. From the outside Frank's my look like a place that wouldn't attract the nicest of crowds but a quick step through the front door will immediately change your perception. A long time lunch secret of the Memorial Hospital doctor crowd Frank's ambiance is much more than one would expect from a "West side neighborhood bar" in South Bend, IN. The wait staff is generally very pleasant, and you'll realize very quickly that Frank's is a place with a loyal lunch and late night crowd. Four television sets line the walls with sports and news updates keeping the patron's attention when crowds force a longer wait than normal for your meal. Seating is nothing fancy, but there is definitely room for large parties down to a 2 person business lunch. Prices for meals are very affordable (generally speaking meals are less than $6). Saturday and Sunday boast half price drink specials on all beers (bottle or draft) and mixed drinks. (Excludes shots and on the rocks.) A jukebox and dart board keep the late night crowds entertained and Frank's is definitely a place to meet new friends, or simply slip away for a drink or two. Definitely your standard neighborhood bar, but at Frank's the people and food make all the difference. I recommend stopping in for lunch first.
