Frankie's Modern Diner

I spent a long time trying to find a place to have breakfast. The first two places were closed permanently and the third was on vacation. The next did not serve breakfast, but directed me to a place which did.

I walked in at 11:31, and was told by the maître d' that breakfast was over. I guess I looked so haggard the waitress took pity on me and said as long as it wasn't a Benedict it was fine.

I got bacon & eggs with coffee & a half avocado.

The staff took excessively good care of me. Everything they could do to make the meal good they did.

Quick. Tasty. Friendly servers.

The rest of this is out in here because yelp has an idiotic arbitrary minimum character requirement.

Enjoyed eating here twice for my visit.
Good old fashioned diner.

Saw local LE go there to eat so I thought it was a good bet

Frankie's was within walking distance from our hotel and where we enjoyed lunch after hitting the spa for a wedding retreat. The restaurant sits above Burger King, so don't go to the wrong one! Large booths and chalkboard writing on the wall with drink specials and little bit of art. I enjoyed the fried calamari, which the server said was a hit and it was just ok to me. A little chewy and lacked strong flavor, but the sauce was great- I believe it was some sort of tzatziki sauce. The meatballs and fries were OK. I didn't care for the fries but I did enjoy the meatballs and the cheese stuffed in them. It was a decent meal and decent pricing on happy hour items. Satisfied, but no urge to try anything else on the menu.

Great for a diner style breakfast, just as the name implies. Food and service are good. Restaurant vibe is fun.

I love that you can just get half a benedict when you aren't that hungry. I had one that came with a pesto sauce - it was good. His salmon and avocado with regular hollandaise was much better.

We come to Victoria regularly and this is the first place we go from the ferry. Great location right downtown. Service is fast and staff is friendly and attentive. Prices are fair-esp considering the exchange rate. Only eaten breakfasts here but we're lifelong customers.

Food was delicious, prices were very fair for the portions, and the staff was very friendly and attentive. The trifecta!

We had the kid's cheese pizza, kid's cheeseburger, salmon burger and the bbq chicken burger. All of it was tasty and fresh.

Experience was so good that we were inspired to get dessert - apple pie with cheddar cheese! I had this on my grandmother's farm as a kid and have never seen it offered outside of the East coast and Mid-West. Apples were baked to perfection and it struck the perfect balance of sweetness without being overwhelmingly so.

We were in town for a sporting event and stayed at a hotel around the corner from this restaurant. It has a nice vibe. The interior is beautiful. More importantly, staff were friendly and helpful. I had the waffle and my husband had oatmeal. we will be back .

A short walk from our hotel Frankie's hit all the spots for lunch for us. It was a little late in the afternoon for full blown lunch, so a couple salads and some wings were on the docket.

The decor is dated to be sure, and could use a spruce up, but in our mind that's not why you're here.

We were warmly greeted and quickly seated by Steph who took excellent care of us the entire time. She was quite attentive without being overly so. I ordered a garden salad, and the lovely K a Caesar salad along with an order of chicken wings and a couple of dips.

My salad was quite good, not overly dressed and plenty of the things you want. Pumpkin seeds, tomato, cucumber and craisins were very evident, although the spring mix could have used a good going over to weed out the gnarly pieces. K's Caesar was also well dressed, but the bacon, although plentiful was kind of tasteless and the Parmesan was out of the dreaded cardboard dispenser.

The wings were by far the star, they were excellent and the buffalo sauce was great. The blue cheese dip was good, but had two huge chunks of cheese that made it tough to dip. The wings though are appointment eating, likely some of the best we have ever had. Deep fried with what seemed to be rice flour and maybe a little baking soda as a covering.

We'd go back for the wings all the time, pity we aren't in Victoria very often.

I loved this place from the moment we stepped inside!

It is very swank, if not romantic, and the food is good-better than average. The staff were very nice but genuine. We were too early for lunch, but breakfast was really good. We had three different dishes, and my super picky son ate all of his food.

We had waffles, eggs, sourdough toast, fruit, bacon, chicken strips, lemonade (FOR THE BOOKS!), and seltzer water.

We went back for lunch and ordered a pizza to-go. I wasn't crazy about it, but it wasn't bad.

Definitely worth a visit if you're in Victoria.
