Frankies The Steakhouse - Duluth (GA)

5 /5 Lera Shipman: We had an amazing experience at Frankie’s The Steakhouse, and a big part of that was thanks to Travis and Marco. From the moment we were seated, they were attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. They knew the menu inside and out, made great recommendations, and timed everything perfectly without ever feeling rushed. Their teamwork and friendly personalities made the entire evening feel special. Outstanding service like this is what keeps us coming back—thank you, Travis and Marco, for a fantastic night!

5 /5 Jessica Thompson: My husband and I ate here for New Year’s Day. We’ve passed this restaurant many times, but didn’t take note of it as it’s inside a municipal building. I’m very glad we gave it a try. The interior was beautiful. The live musician was skilled but not obtrusive. The mango mocktail, lobster bisque, and filet mignon were excellent. The servers made crumbs magically disappear from our tabletop. We wanted to try the caramel chocolate cake, but just didn’t have room left. We’ll get it next time!

5 /5 Leslie Howell: Janna, Seema, and Pemg were our servers and they were Amazing!!! When the servers know the menu it’s so much easier for me to order, and they certainly knew it well! They were all very nice and we received our food faster than I expected because the restaurant was very busy. The timing was perfect! I ordered the ribeye (bone in) medium, with the Brussels sprouts and cauliflower. The steak was cooked to perfection, as well as the vegetables!!!! My husband ordered the lamb and the lobster mac and cheese and it was cooked perfectly as well!! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to all my friends! The service and the food was impeccable!! Also, at the end of the meal they gave us a muffin for breakfast for the next morning, which I think is so nice.

3 /5 Jim Elsenbeck: I feel bad leaving a 3 star review but read to the end and let me explain why. We were greeted at our arrival and welcomed and promptly seated at a nice quiet booth. We had a very early reservation so the restaurant was very empty at that time. Our serving team of Leon, Lynn and Alix (spelling?) were friendly, polite, helpful and extremely coordinated with their service. Leon presented and explained some of the steak options, and was very helpful with suggestions. As more people arrived I appreciated the way the tables were filled (From my perspective it seems there are 5 "rows" of tables, so the outside rows 1 and 5 were filled first, then the center row 3, and finally as capacity was reached the 2nd and 4th row were filled. This provided a very open and intimate experience, we werent all crowded together as the evening went on). Sounds wonderful so far, and it was. But here is where I unfortunately have to remove some luster. Depending on what entrée you order along with appetizer and sides youre easily looking at a minimum of $75/person for just the dinner. Add in beverages or some of the higher priced items and youre having a very fine dining experience. That really sets expectations. Our yeast rolls were served and we were warned the cast iron skillet was extremely hot so we waited a few minutes and worked on our raw oyster appetizer first. When we went to the rolls they were cold and so was the skillet. This was probably less than 5 minutes after receiving them, so there is no way they were warning hot plate delivery. Minor point one. We both had filet mignon and they were cooked perfectly. I must say for a wet aged 28-35 day steak it did not meet our expectations. My experiences with prime aged steak is that it is so tender it can be cut with a bread knife or even a fork alone. This filet required the steak knife to cut it and it was not melt in your mouth tender. Prime filet, not tender. Steak is the reason for this restaurant. Major point two. Our sides included mushrooms, brussels sprouts and Lyonnaise potatoes. The shrooms were very tasty, the brussels are unbelievably good, and the tatos were crispy and cooked well. During the meal we did have some minor serving lapses that let wine glasses run low/out a couple of times but we poured ourselves to carry on. Minor point three. The rest of the service was crazy good, as soon as one server would ask about something (like removing an appetizer and serving materials) almost before they could finish the question the other server was there and starting to pick up the items. It was actually amazing to watch this coordination. We were gifted a delicious cheesecake to help our celebration, that was an unexpected touch and appreciated. So am I being harsh with only 3 stars? When the raison dêtre is steak, very expensive steak at that, it should be perfect. Ours was good but just not up to expectations weve experienced with other prime aged steakhouses. This was our first visit and its likely well return and give it another try as everything else was very memorable.

5 /5 Mbali Khuse: My husband and I went to Frankie’s The Steakhouse for our anniversary, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The food was incredible our steaks were cooked perfectly, tender, and full of flavor. The drinks were just as good, and the service was top-notch. Jeff and the rest of the staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out quickly. The atmosphere was elegant but comfortable, perfect for celebrating a special occasion. Overall, great food, great drinks, and even better service. We’ll definitely be back!
