Franks Finer Diner - Fredericton, New Brunswick

Yes, this diner closed but reopened under new management. I cannot day I am that impressed. There were maybe three patrons, including us and the gossip from the staff was about the place. The food was not impressive either — bland to the point of needing a salt lick handy ... between bites! The expensive white bread was good. Read more

We were excited to try the place out again under new ownership. Pros: The train was off so we didnt have to listen to it. My food was good quality... After I received what I had actually ordered. Cons: The atmosphere is DEAD. Zero music playing. The staff dont have the energy a diner ... should have. The staff had us feeling like they wanted to get people in and out as fast as possible. I received the wrong food, something totally different from what I ordered. I do feel the food quality is better than before it shut down, but this place has so much potential. Get some era correct tunes, energetic staff, proper decor (the seats look like they are from the 90s, not 50s/60s), maybe some table top jukeboxes etc. The location and parking lot would make this a great spot for a weekly cruise night in the summer for those of us with classic cars, but nobody would show up to a place with no energy. Love 50s diners, but likely wont be going back here as it sucks not seeing it done right. Read more

The food was okay. It felt like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for a while before it came out to us. It took a really long while to place the order as well as to get the food.

Service was amazing! Food portions tend to be on the small size. Although the coconut cream pie had a great taste over all, the crust was a bit soggy. Prices were reasonable and the breakfast menu offered many choices.

Love this place! Good food and a nice, retro atmosphere! Staff are friendly as well!
