Frankie’s Pizza

Back visiting Three Rivers, I stopped at this staple of TR and fond memory from my childhood– I sat at the bar tonight and tried to keep to myself, buried in my phone but my focus was interrupted four times by the condescending and belittling witch with streaky highlights who was training new staff. I truly felt awful how she accused, reprimanded staff before letting them speak. Thankfully for me, the breaded mushrooms were as great as I remembered and my BLT was great. I’ll bring a silver cross before I come back, just in case.

The first time we went to Frankies the place was busy but our service was great and we ended up with plenty of food. Yesterday we returned and swear we were in a different place. The place had two other tables with people but we were not acknowledged for 7 minutes. We had to get b our own little plates for our appetizer and the special cheeseburger for $ 5 was the size of a small 87 cent hamburger from McDonalds. I guess, thats, why it was the special. We don’t plan on returning.

Great pizza! The 16″ was more than enough for my coworker and me. The toppings were hearty and plentiful. I also liked that the cheese was baked to a perfect golden brown.

Matt is a great friendly server and the onion rings were awesome! Pizza was very good and walleye was also. 22oz oberon for 4 bucks! Been coming here a few times a year for 5 or 6 years now and the only disappointment is no more chicken quesadillas on menu!

Ate there B4 going to graduation @ 3Rivers HS. Had very good service & good food. Hubby had liver & onions & could barely finish all of it. I had the ¼ lb. Frankie burger & it was all I could eat. Fries were very good.

I tried this place before the makeover when I was a kid. Then tried it after the Food Network came in, it was pretty good! I would have given them 4 stars. But now, under new management, no way.
First, we sat down and overheard a table next to us say they had been there for an hour and had not received their food.
We ordered onion rings as an appetizer, and got ranch to dip them in. The ranch tasted funny to us, so we mentioned something to our server. She said that they didn’t have a fridge for sauces or lids for the sauces, so they keep them in the same cooler as all the other food (like raw meat). DON’T EAT THE RANCH!!!
The food we ordered was a large Frankie’s Special and a burger. The burger was pink on the inside, seriously undercooked. The pizza was cooked at a high temperature for a shirt amount of time, making the crust chewy, not crispy.
Overall, if you want to eat cross-​contaminated food, undercooked meat, and so-​so pizza at a high price, this is your place. But I suggest looking elsewhere in the area.

Frankie’s has reopened after a transition back to original family ownership. Really enjoyed our time today. It was not busy yet, being early in the afternoon. The restaurant seemed clean and pleasant. The wait staff was punctual and friendly and the order was accurate. The food was very good, certainly improved over previous owners fare. The pizza crust is thin and crisp, very nice. Onion rings and mushrooms were excellent. Beer selections are a bit basic but adequate. Overall I was really pleased. It is nice to have another eating option in town. I will be back.

Fabulous. What a great place! Can’t wait to back and sample all that great food! We especially love the pizza!

This place is terrible and overpriced! Tried before and after its «makeover» and incredibly underwhelming each time. Had a waitress who was pretty rude as well. Just pretty terrible service as a whole. I tried to give it a second chance but still no good. I would not recommend it.

I have to say that I really love their pizza. The sauce is awesome and the ingredients are fresh. My problem is with the service, which is always super slow. They’re all very nice people but they seriously take forever. I wouldn’t go there if you’re in a hurry. But I have no complaints about the food. My friends have ordered other stuff besides the pizza and everything has been really good. Please improve your timing, Frankie’s because other than that, you’re a really good restaurant in 3 Rivers!

Pizza was pretty good for the area. Service was mediocre and sodas were all flat. Way overcharged for a side of pineapple, $ 3!

Visiting town & remembered seeing this restaurant on Restaurant Impossible. The food was great. Decent variety for a place billed as a pizza joint. Parmesan artichoke dip was fantastic! Pizza was very good. Service was fast and friendly. Will definitely return.

Great Food Great prices

Frankie’s is another one of those small town gems that I always took for granted growing up, however miss now that I have moved away to the «big city».
Most of Frankie’s food is home cooked goodness, however you cannot go to Frankie’s without ordering their pizza. Frankie’s is old school putting the toppings under the cheese, I remember that most as a child. They don’t skimp on the toppings and like most small town pizzas they are all about the round pizza with the square slices.
Their beer battered onion rings and friend mushrooms are a heart attack waiting to happen, however worth the extra miles on the treadmill required afterwards. In addition, they have a full bar with a very large selection of beer for a small town.
Finally, the best part about Frankie’s from childhood is the caboose. Frankie’s is nestled every so comfortably right next to the main train track in town, so every 15 minutes or so during your meal you will hear a slow freight train pass with the dinging of the railroad crossing. Instead of being annoyed Frankie’s embraced what would normally be a location killer by adding on a section of the restaurant that is an old train car-​its called the caboose. There are multiple tables in the caboose and can be reserved for parties.
If you are in Three Rivers for some random reason, not sure what that would be, but if you are get Frankie’s pizza, Yum!

Pizza-​Delicious
Beer selection-​Every macrobrew in America, but not 1 craft brew even though they have several local breweries that make exceptional beers. Not one bells, new holland, founders or even a new castle was to be found.
Wine selection-​sutter home and Woodbridge. Enough said.
Service-​Very pleasant and quick.
Frankie’s you have such tasty pizza that I would make a stop out of my way when traveling through Michigan if you just step up your beer and/​or wine selection.

OMG. Try the onion rings and beer-​battered mushrooms. A. May. Zing.

The Rehearsal Dinner was here.
We were running 2 hours late and they STILL held the caboose for us, provided separate/​group checks, and accomodated all of our quirks.
I was very pleased with this place. Our server was a calm cool liquid pool of serenity in the face of all of these starving, demanding wedding participants.
I ordered the merlot and the fettucine alfredo. I could almost swear that the fettucine was home-​made and the alfredo sauce had been stirred and coaxed along to that level of creaminess for hours. THAT WAS A DELICIOUS ALFREDO!
There were other group appetizers that circulated: wings, fried mushrooms, onion rings, etc. They were oh-​so-​tasty, too. And the fresh, warm bread with the honey butter is not to be missed.
If you’re ever in Three Rivers, Michigan and hungry, do not pass this place by. By the way, its right across the street from the new location of the Hair Designers so get your hair done first, then hit up Frankie’s Pizza for a meal. You will not be sorry. I just wish I had had some pizza.

Frankie’s is a Three Rivers institution. I’m not sure exactly how long it’s been around, but long enough that I remember going there as a very little kid when I was spending time at a camp outside of Three Rivers, and that’s 25+ years ago. Back then we kids always wanted to sit in the caboose, but nowadays I just go for the decent food and service. Their pizzas are pretty tasty, and they’ve got a good selection of other things, too. At my most recent visit, my sister and I both had the chicken taco salad (and were quite pleased) and my broth-​er-​in-​law an enormous portion of lasagna. For appetizers we had their cheesy bread… somehow they do it better than other places. All of this and one or two sodas set me back all of $ 38.
There are not that many places to eat in Three Rivers, and this is one of the better ones.
