    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.

    This is the second time in a row that we have ordered the Appetizer special and it was burnt, making it tasteless. My wife likes the potato skins. They were overcooked or re cooked, and had no flavor.

    I am a regular at Frank’s, and I’m always happy with the food and service, but last night the food was not great. The steak was tough and the potato skins were burned on the bottom and overcooked. But the service was great (it always is) and next time I’ll just pay attention and send something back considering the elevated prices.

    The best way to describe this place is “okay”. My husband enjoyed his steak which was perfectly cooked. My prime rib wasn’t “the best in town” and kind of flavorless and not very tender. The restaurant is dated and could use a good dusting. They were very friendly and welcoming. And if you’re looking for decently priced food, they have it. It was “okay”.
