Frankie's Resto-Bar Restaurant

We arrived before 6pm midweek and there was plenty of space. There, we found prompt and cheerful service, great music playing, the food arrived quickly and it was really good quality. We ordered the brisket and the pulled pork burger and both were excellent - the brisket was tender and the burger was so tasty. The fries were great too. We also sampled their lemon meringue pie. By the time we finished, there was a queue out the door for tables - worth the wait in my opinion. Great restaurant!

We had a negative experience at this restaurant. We came in asking for a party of 6 for dinner. We waited maybe 25 minutes for a table. Usually restaurants will notify you in advance if they plan to seat you outside or would ask you first if that’s okay to be seated outside. (Considering it was very chilly in Ucluelet that day) We waited 25 minutes only to find out she was going to seat us outside. If we knew, we probably wouldn’t eat there. They had heaters but apparently weren’t working. Only one worked and it was used on the other side of the outdoor seating. It was very cold and the food took over 1 hour to arrive. We waited almost 1.5 hours. So we were sitting in the cold just waiting for our food for that long. After waiting 30 minutes after ordering the food, the waitress came to notify us that the food is not gonna take just 15 minutes and that she just wanted to let us know so we are on the same page. We said okay but it would have been nice if she gave us a heads up food will take roughly an hour before seating us!! Never did she mention at all that it would take over an hour. Not only that but the food was very mediocre. I got the seafood linguine for 41$ or 43$? The pasta didn’t taste horrible but it’s something I can make at home or a very very most simple pasta restaurant can make for half the price or less. There were only shrimp and fish inside too. For this price, I can get a very fancy pasta in Downtown vancouver or even fine dine. There weren’t even any better seafood inside. Overall, it was just not worth it. The food and experience both were meh. If food is gonna take 1 hour, we should definitely be notified before even getting seated. Common courtesy.

Fun little eatery at a great location and perfect music (don't underestimate that part). We had a nice bite and spicy Caesar before our whale watching trip. The panko crusted cod was so good!

Compliments to the chef! Frankie's is a beachy pub vibe with a beautiful patio overlooking the ocean. The food was phenomenal. Very generous portions. Will be back 😋

We were looking for a place to eat and rest with the dogs, so glad we found this place! Cute little place with a great patio. They had water bowls for our dogs, amazing friendly service and the food was 10/10 good.

Free Tequila Tomorrow …sums this amazing restaurant up! From the delicious menu items that had my mouth watering even before the server came around to take our order. A meat-forward establishment with so many options for everyone’s tastes. The friendly and fun staff to the eclectic artwork, and tasty food. An “all-thumbs-up” experience!

The food took a while to arrive but once it did, oh man. My family and I honestly were not expecting much but the food blew us away. The panko breaded cod. The bacon-wrapped scallops. The clams. The wings. All VERY delicious and well-presented too. They’ve got a charming patio as well which is perfect for a pint under the cool yet sunny Ukee skies. Highly recommend.

Frankie's Resto Bar: A Must-Try in Ucluelet! Frankie's Resto Bar is a real gem! We had a fantastic meal here and were impressed by the quality and flavour of everything we ordered. The seared tuna salad was incredibly fresh and tasty – a perfect light and satisfying option. But the real stars of the show were the lemon pepper chicken wings. They were perfectly crispy and absolutely addictive. If you like a bit of heat, you must try their homemade jalapeño and habanero hot sauce. You can tell it's made with fresh ingredients, and it packs a delicious punch! We also thoroughly enjoyed the classic lingcod fish and chips. The fish was fresh and the batter was light and crispy. To top it all off, Frankie's has a great selection of beers on tap and their spicy Caesar is a winner. The service was friendly and efficient, making for a truly enjoyable dining experience. We highly recommend Frankie's Resto Bar and will definitely be back on our next visit to Ucluelet!

Excellent. Swooped in for a quick take-out meal after checking into our hotel. They had our food boxed and ready in 15 minutes! The pulled pork was perfect. Loved the mustard BBQ sauce.. The seafood pasta was a 10/10. Nicely done.

Solid 4! Very nice staff and very good food. The drinks looked great. I was the DD and had to drive back to the east side of the island. The guy behind the back cooking is a real character and funny. Tip: stay on the west side of island if possible as the mountain pass has extensive delays at night due to construction (this will be completed sometime in 2022).

Great food - I had the pulled pork, but somewhat understaffed. Sign of the times I guess.

Amazing food. So good. Great service too. Highly recommend. I had the mussels and my partner had the chicken wings and fries and we were both so impressed.

This was formerly called Hanks, but has recently been re-named. Once again we turned to Yelp to guide us to somewhere new for supper and we ended up here. What an excellent choice! The service was friendly and the place was nice and clean. The food was amazing, I had the Pork Hock special, Colleen had the ribs. The mashed potatoes and veggies were delicious and the BBQ didn't disappoint. A gathering of locals at the dining bar was proof positive that this isn't a one time spot to dine (you go there once never to return), but a place that will always bring you back. Thanks for a great meal Frankie and staff, we'll be back!!

We ate here twice. The first night it was ok. It was better than ok because we came back two nights later. Tonight, the food and service was even better. But, a slightly weird thing happened. Just as we finished eating, we caught whiff of cigar smoke. Not a pleasant smell for us. I turn to look at who was stinking up the deck and it was this little man, wearing gold chains. We put it together that this must be the Frankie that the restaurant is named after. I was surprised by the cigar and gold chains and felt they were way out of place in Ucluelet. A weird appearance by someone needing the attention of others and fouling up the air while they ate was the way he needed to do it. I was just glad that we were done by the time he appeared.

Food was great, tasty beers. Service was very slow but they gave us a complimentary dish to compensate for that

$26 for a burger with fries is a complete ripoff feel sorry for the community of Ucluelet having to pay such high a price for food that should cost half that price. When i picked up my food frankie was vulgar with customers in front of me which i found very unprofessional. Will never return to this place.

Delicious! Poutine draped with tender brisket, flavorful mushroom gravy, and cheese curds was to die for. The local house green salad was a spectacular assortment of local greens and vegetables (needed something healthy to counter the decadence of the poutine). Also enjoyed the half smoked chicken. Food was fresh, high quality and full of great flavors. A treat to find Frankie's during out visit.

Wow great food awesome service.Prices are fair. Nice area eat in or out. We'll definitely come back here again!

Food was delicious. Ordered food for pick up and it was ready in 15 minutes. Ordered Brisket BBQ, pulled pork poutine and Seafood pasta. Every single dish was delicious. I'd recommend this to friends and I'd definitely come back when I come visit Ucluelet again.
