Frankie's Place 297 North Marion Avenue, Lake City, FL 32055

"Frankie’s was an unexpected stop on a 2 day road trip. Located on Downtown Lakeland, the atmosphere is a lively bar/restaurant combo. The patrons were a mix of folks enjoying the bar to quiet table service to a couple families with small children. The menu choices were all excellent and homemade on site. Terrific flavors and friendly service, along with a visit from Frankie the owner to each table was plenty reason to add this stop to any visit to Lakeland."

"There were only 2 people at the bar when we walked in ( 2 of us ). Restaurant was almost empty. Waited about 1/2 hr after getting drinks and menu's, for the bartender to show up and take our order. Like it was inconvenient for her to stop her conversations, and do her job. Food was fine, and hot, but the bartender would have been fired if she worked for me."

"Went to lake city Florida to visit a friend and he recommended this place to me. We had the opportunity to enjoy the food. I think the photos of the food didn’t make it in this review either it was to late into the lunch.i want you to enjoy the flavor yourself. I don’t think you you will be disappointed. Please stop in for lunch !"

"Came here last Friday night as a party of 4 guests. I got the eggplant parmesan, "Tour of Italy" x2 and boneless buffalo garlic parm wings. The garlic knots came on the side. Everything was pretty average considering the bill came out to 116.00. I have to say the boneless wings were very dry along with the garlic knots and the eggplant was sliced pretty thin. We would come back to try the pizza and calzones but pretty high on price."

"Went here for dinner on Saturday with my daughter. We ordered the Tony bread on the recommendation of the waitress! It was sooo good with lots of garlic flavor. For entrees we ordered bang bang shrimp and cheese ravioli! My daughter loved her ravioli and loved all the cheese. The bang bang shrimp came with 12 good sized shrimp and they were cooked perfectly. The French fries were very good and we ordered a side of ranch for them. They have the thick stuff! For all you ranch connoisseurs you know thats the good stuff! We will definitely be back. We loved everything we ate! And our waitress was awesome!"
