The Santoro Family has been in the food service industry since 1988. We renovated AND re-branded almost one year ago in May of 2023. We created a NEW CONCEPT we call MODERN CASUAL CHIC...The new name is Frankie's Since 1988 as an ode to our original restaurant on the Southside of Chicago. No longer a fine dining white tablecloth restaurant. Our new vibe is energetic music, vibrant craft cocktails homemade pastas, authentic Southern Italian style pizzas (from our new Marra Forni oven) and most popular dishes, such as Ciambotta (sausage & peppers), meatballs, Alaskan wild king salmon, Chicken "limone" with a lemon butter & capers sauce amongst others. Our updated menu is a combination of old classics from the past 15 years in Tinley Park and new items with the same wonderful service guests have come to know and love from Frankie's.

    Jen's Guesthouse Restaurant was a wonderful dining experience. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I felt a sense of warmth and hospitality. The atmosphere of the restaurant was inviting, with cozy seating arrangements and soft lighting. The menu at Jen's Guesthouse Restaurant offered a wide variety of dishes, to suit every palate. I was particularly impressed by the appetizers. The brussel sprouts appetizer was a standout, with its crispy exterior and flavorful interior. The combination of textures and flavors tantalized my taste buds and left a lasting impression. For my main meal, I opted for the chicken pot pie. The presentation was visually appealing, and the taste did not disappoint. The flaky crust and savory filling were a harmonious blend of flavors, making it a mouthwatering dish. The portion was generous, and I found myself savoring each bite. The restaurant went above and beyond to make my birthday celebration special. They went above and beyond to ensure my dining experience was memorable. They not only provided excellent service but also surprised me with a free voucher for a free appetizer on my next visit. Overall, Jen's Guesthouse Restaurant was a great experience. The food was exceptional, the service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I’ll definitely be back to try more of their delectable offerings and celebrate the special occasions in my life.

    This is the first time my friends have been to this restaurant. We got there a little early and they sat us right away. Our server was absolutely amazing and was on top of it the whole time. We ordered appetizers and food and every single person enjoyed it and said how amazing the food was. For dinner for five people, the price was not bad. They even gave us two little plates for both our birthdays, which was very nice. When I go back there again, absolutely!
