    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.

    We went with multi generations and there was something for everyone. The ambiance was perfect for conversation. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Half of us took advantage of the early bird special pricing. The glass of wine was generous. The service was excellent. Overall really good place to take the family.

    We tried out Franks during our visit in Cambridge in November. We were looking forward to the visit because of the numerous high reviews. We were a little let down by the steaks which is why we went. The filet was probably the most solid choice vs the Sizzler and the Ribeye. The ribeye was cooked perfectly but either the knife was dull or the steak was grisly. The baked potato was great and the calamari was very good. The revamped interior of the restaurant was welcoming but I think a little more focus on the steaks will be helpful.
