"Frank Fat’s is heading strong into its ninth decade. Within the last few years it has been awarded as a James Beard House American Classic, and recently was one of three Sac restaurants to receive a Michelin Bib Gourmand nod. The pink-and-gold, dark and clubby interior will make you feel like you’re in an ’80s action movie set in Miami, and the big, beautiful mai tais will mess you up. Best bets come from the appetizer selection, including the beef-and-pork-stuffed yu kwok dumplings. You absolutely must double down on your mai tai sugar rush by finishing the meal with Frank Fat’s deservedly famous banana cream pie." - Becky Grunewald
