I ordered the "Bacon Cheeseburger" special. Now, even though the description said, "housemade beef sausage" and Frank is pretty much all hot dogs/sausages, I actually thought this would be a cheeseburger. You probably think that's pretty stupid of me, but I thought Frank just might have the occasional burger. After all, it was a *special*. The main reason I thought it would be a cheeseburger was not just because of the name, but also because I got a "half sausage" burger at BB Rover's once, and it was actually a burger. I figured Frank's would be similar to that. My mistake, I guess. I nearly ordered a plain dog instead, and now I wish I had.
I was not completely surprised when I saw that my "burger" was a full-fledged sausage. Should have trusted my first instinct. I decided to just deal with it, though, and try to like it. Well, I didn't think the sausage tasted very good. And it was fatty, like chewy. Also, there was no bacon nor cheese on it like there was supposed to be. I let the bartender know about that and he went back to the kitchen to kick some ass and get me some cheese and bacon. So I put the cheese and bacon on there, took the sausage off, and proceeded to eat everything else. The secret sauce was actually quite good, but I think it was simply mustard and mayonnaise mixed together. Good bun. I still ate less than half, though. My cell phone began frustrating me (wouldn't connect to the internet... screw you, Sprint), so I became obsessed with getting back to the office to call their tech support gurus from the land line. As such, the bartender was confused because I wanted my check so quickly. I told him I didn't really like the "burger" and that it wasn't what I expected it to be. He comped it, which was cool.
I wish I knew the bartender's name so I could give him personal props. He was really steamed about the cooks forgetting the cheese and bacon, and I overheard another bartender say, "That's the second time that's happened today."
In conclusion, if you like sausages, waffle fries, and drinking iced tea out a jar (which was pretty cool), you'll love Frank. They get excellent reviews , and I'm sure that's right, normally. I guess I caught them on an off day. But I wish I had known that the cheeseburger wasn't going to be a cheeseburger. If they had called it "Bacon Cheeseburger Sausage", I would not have been misguided. Instead, it was simply called "Bacon Cheeseburger". I want to try a plain dog, but I'm afraid it'll taste too much like a sausage. I'm just not a sausage person. When I attend Oktoberfest goings on, I stick to beer only.

Since this trip, I've had their cheese fries. Waffle fries with cheddar cheese, bacon, green onions, and sour cream, and they actually layer the ingredients so all the fries get some love! Excellent.
