Franky's Diner

ENTERTAINER ACCEPTED ACCEPTED FOR ANY MENU ITEM EXCEPT FOR THE CHUBBY BURGER CHALLENGE! This of course does not include milkshakes desserts and such. <br/ <br/ NOTE Posiibly due to the Cape Town Water crisis if you request water at this venue, you will receive bottled water which you have to pay R7 R9, just please be advised.<br/ <br/ I had to go twice to get the full experience, my first experience was late night and always wanted the 24hr Frankys experience, initially seated outside and there is notice to advise a waiter yiu would like to sit outside, it can get quite windy in Sea point, ordered the Double Southern Fried chicken burger and it was satisfying however the cheese was overkill, but was still enjoyable, never managed to finish however this was not a problem, you need be cautious of the company around if planning to head through after 1am, but I'm sure it would be expected.<br/ <br/ My second visit was a blissful Sunday sat outside as I wanted to do my previous visit These visits were within a week apart) the sun can be unrealistically hot, this time round I had the beef burger was just enough to hit the spot! And on both occasions milkshakes which are divine you are given the milkshake along with the ice cream separate.<br/ <br/ Will visit again love the retro old school decor and would love to visit when they have an event at the venue and would definitely like to visit to attempt the chubby burger challenge.

If it’s real American Style Dining you are looking for, Franky’s is definitely your best bet. Presentation of the food was appealing to the eye we received our meals in a short space of time. Their “southern fried wings BBQ sauce” and their Piggy Burger was a hit! Not forgetting my all time FAV...the legendary Corn Dog The service was fairly good as well. With that being said... it’s a Yes from me

Franky’s Diner is the closest thing to a true American Diner that you’ll ever find in Cape Town. From the décor to the menu – it’s a restaurant that transports you to 50s America, and it’s absolutely delightful.<br/ <br/ I visited Franky’s five years ago (shortly after they opened I think) and we dressed up in proper 50s/60s clothing, hair and makeup (super fun idea for a party) and it was a jol. We had delicious diner fair (milkshakes, curly fries and burgers) and we had fun playing around on the jukebox. All in all it was a great outing.<br/ <br/ I went there a few days ago again, this time with my grandparents and I’m glad to say that Franky’s has expanded, but stayed true to their USA diner essence. We had the Banana Split to share and it was amazing! Banana Split is not something you find on a menu easily, and this one was an absolute treat. The toasted nuts really made this decadent dessert something to write home about!<br/ <br/ They’re open 24/7 – like a real American Diner should be haha. Visit Franky’s for a delicious milkshake, Americana nostalgia, and deep fried deliciousness.

Open 24 hours Proper American diner experience. Service was good at 2am. Food was excellent. Was a nice experience. Milkshakes are to die for.

I recommend this place to everyone! I had their bacon maple waffles. It was golden waffles, crispy bacon with lots of maple syrup just the right ratio! My partner had a milkshake which took us back to our childhood. They even brought the extra bit that didn’t fit in the glass to the table. They have such a big milkshake menu so we’re sure to be back. Plus they are 24/7!
