Sandwiches done right. Looking for simplicity with quality? Look no further. Frank's offers a time machine to a period where life actually felt wholesome. You know, the times you'd go down the shore with your family and have brunch at a locally owned spot. I forgot what that felt like until I stepped in here. But they aren't limited to offering a taste of your childhood. I haven't had a turkey sub in a few years, mainly because I'm tired of paying premium for a sandwich that uses Boar's Head turkey cold cuts accompanied with a stomachache. When I read that they roast their own turkey, I almost fainted. You'll get the best experience eating one of these with an ocean view. What a way to spend my Sunday afternoon. The sub truly delivered in every way I had imagined. But it didn't end there. If you're a reuben fan, you have to try the pastrami. There's no question around it, just order it and start your diet on Monday.

Quite possibly the best sandwich I have ever had. The bread is incredible and the price was sooo good. I can’t wait until I can go back

As a fan of Anthony Bourdain, Frank’s Deli & Restaurant was a must stop for me. It is cash only, but it is absolutely worth it. The staff were incredibly sweet, gentle, and patient, taking the time to explain every single component of their sandwiches. I also highly recommend the orangeade because it is refreshing and has the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness.
