Frankie’s Deli

I hate to do it but I have to knock these guys down a notch. This will be my one and only with them and believe me I do not like giving 1 – 2 stars however observations from today must go on all the time. A 2 to me is below average and this was.
Inside décor I really could care less about for a «deli» so the mafia posters, old tv, dusty wall near the Coke machine and pink tables did not deduct a point.
When I entered there was one customer the owner was bantering with (the only customer) After a few minutes of not being acknowledged I finally realized where a menu was which was taped to the counter.
I ordered a pressed Italian steamroller. Got my money out and he never said another word. Never took my money. Never told me to take a seat. Guessing they would start my sub and get the money I decided I guess you pay after and sat down. A few more minutes went by and a nice lady (believe the owners wife) provided me said sub.
If the sub did not have the oil lettuce banana peppers etc it would have been so dried out that you would not have been able to bite through the bread. Luckily the large amount of oil rehydrated half of the croûton I was biting into. Since there was never mention or offer of a drink you can imagine it was not an enjoyable experience. They purchase boars head brand meats like most local delis bread was not good for a press it should have been wrapped in foil to keep hydrated absolutely nothing special about this sub that one could not make in their own oven much better.
While half way through I was about to get up and nine fireman (thank you for your service) came in. So now I have to wait for these guys to order before I can pay. It’s not like I wanted to start a tab and possibly order another sub. This is beyond aggravating.
Then as I am waiting to pay the owner shouts to the lady what did this guy get so he knows how much to charge me? You took my order. Ring me up right then. Or ask me what I ordered. Trust me I am not trying to sneak one by the local sub shop.
A few other observations. A couple came in after me one ordered a tuna sub. She was asked if she could wait or order something different as they did not make the tuna yet. Glad to see they make their own but it is 11:55 and you service a lunch crowd.
Of the nine fireman they ordered 4 Cubans and 5 steamrollers. Took the owner a few extra minutes to figure that out before I was allowed to finally get up and pay.
They seem to have a following. Seem to get a lot of call aheads. So I am not trying to shut the place down I just did it enjoy one bit of my experience perhaps someone else will have a different one but I am not willing to try a second shot.

I walked in for lunch for the first time the other day, and I asked Frankie what was good. He recommended any of the hot pressed sandwiches, so I selected the Italian Steamroller. I grabbed a drink and sat at a table, and listened to the witty banter between the owners and other patrons.
After a few minutes, my sandwich was served. It had all the normal ingredients for an Italian sandwich, and the bread was hot pressed nicely. The flavors of the meats and vegetables really stood out, and I’m going to have to say it was a darn fine sandwich. I may even have to try their Cuban next time I’m in the area.
They serve a good sandwich for a decent price, I would return.

First time here. Really enjoyed meeting Frankie and Tracy. Everyone’s correct in saying that the CUBAN is delicious. It’s all about the bread and the press. Glad to have stopped here.

They have the best cuban sandwich. I always get them. The owners frank and Tracy are totally awesome.

The sandwiches from here are delicious. Boars head makes so much of a difference! I’ve ordered from other local places for lunch but this place takes the cake! Great specials, free delivery, mom & pop owed! They have my business! Yummy!!!

They were wirking in their to go orders, took forever to get to ours. Pressed Italian bread was warm, insides cold. Mefiocre at best.

Having a pressed hoagie. lots of to go orders. Made fresh. if you are in a hurry go elsewhere. food is
are taken but you must charge $ 8 or more 12 inch sandwich chips and drink is 8 50 plus tax

Delicious! We just moved to the area and stumbled upon Frankie’s in the middle of moving day. We were starving and their killer sandwiches hit the spot. My boyfriend had the Italian Steamroller and I had the San Franciscan, both hot off the press. Really. So good!

Frankie’s is a favorite lunch spot. The tuna melt is the best thing on the menu… it’s a 12 inch pressed sub and it’s just crispy goodness… I like mine without tomatoes… because warm tomatoes are ick. They have really big salads too which are great. Daily specials and they deliver.

Frankies has good soups and sandwiches. The prices are decent. Nothing really jumps out at me as being particularly memorable.
I will say that the service was slow. I showed up when the place was empty and it still took 10 minutes to get two sandwiches and a cup of soup.

Had the pressed Italian steamroller. Awesome food and the owner Frank is great entertainment!

I used to live by Frankies and go there for the cubans (delicious), but then moved out of town. I’m now working close by and after receiving their daily specials fax, I found out they deliver to my job! I’ve ordered there every day since. The tuna is amazing, and the greek salad is to die for!

A Co-​Worker recommended Frankie’s Chef Salad for Lunch and I am so glad. It is GREAT! The meat is thin sliced so you get the essence throughout the salad. It even comes with carrot slices and celery slices, black olives and pepperoncini (sp). Their luncheon specials which are faxed to our office daily, come with chip and drink of your choice. AND they deliver! ! ! A great idea for the «captive audience».

Everything made to order, bread is always fresh, and fantastic lunch meats. Love the roast beef on a toasted roll. Small sandwich shop, decent amount of seating, they also deliver. Lunch is always entertaining here! :)

Love, love, love this place. We have had sandwiches from Frankie’s for many, many years now. Highly recommend. Hot pressed wrapped sandwiches are the bomb! Try it today. They deliver locally, I believe.
