    Frank’s was wonderful as usual last night. We enjoyed a nice valentines dinner with our 3 children. We all thought the food was delicious and unique. The atmosphere is amazing. Staff is excellent. From the cooks, to host, to servers, everyone does a fantastic job. We booked ahead on open table and when we arrived and I gave my name the host knew exactly who we were and immediately took us to our table and we arrived a little early. We really enjoyed our dinner and will be back the next time we are in town.

    Outstanding meal from start to finish! Crab cake appetizer was delicious served with a lovely slaw and sauce. Caesar salad had the best dressing!! I would buy it if they sold it! Entree was the special fish of the day, Chilean Seabass. It was outstanding! Apple crunch with ice cream finished off the meal. Atmosphere was so nice. Franks is our favorite restaurant and will be back next month!!

    As usual everything was great: food, ambience and staff. Special shout out to JR the best waiter we have ever met. Also the helper that was wearing a heart hat on her head, i did not get her name. Everyone is great truly.

    One of the best restaurants in the Grand Strand area. Some entrees are a little pricey but there are small plate options that are also available.

    Food was just okay, drinks were good and service was good. Risotto was just barely warm and gluey…lamp chops were tasty but a bit over cooked its lumpy mashed potatoes. The bread was awful. It is truly a hit or miss restaurant imho.

    The food and service at Frank’s are always superb. Sometimes it can be noisy if there are birthday celebrations or happy golfers. That is why we usually go in the cooler months. But the fresh seafood, local ingredients and innovative recipes cannot be surpassed.
