Frankes Cafeteria Review – Little Rock, Arkansas
Touted as Little Rock’s oldest operating restaurant, Frankes is cafeteria-style American and Southern classics, with a set number of entrees available each day as well as different specials each day of the week. Grab a tray and walk through the cafeteria line where the servers will hand you the dishes you point at or call out, starting with an abundance of old-fashioned salads, like “Ambrosia,” then sides, entrees, breads, desserts, and beverages.
Pricing is by item, tho you can elect to have a flat price for your entree depending on whether you opt for one or two sides.
I opted for the catfish meal, which isn’t on the heating table but cooked to order. Comes with crinkle-cut fries and one side, I chose the collard greens. The fish was excellent, crispy, piping hot, lightly seasons. Fries were as you would suspect. Greens were also superb, cooked right, highly seasoned. There were two fruit salad choices, I chose the wrong one (I was looking for sweeter). I also chose a soft roll and had chocolate cream pie for dessert (not pictured).
Lunch was around $10.
Two locations in Little Rock. Here’s the full menu, including the rotating daily specials. (Subject to change, imagine).
