frank's spaghetti house

terrible service & dishonest billing. was charged gratuity for 4 people and when asked why. the waiter stated "because you were probably only going to leave a $2 tip. was overcharged $15. explanation was that they were a small buisness. charged forbreadbasket refill and for my two toddlers to share a plate. please stay away!!!!!!!!!

really good food! great people too!. as a visitor to corpus, it was nice to find a little local place to eat. the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, and the staff was really attentive and gracious. i had the chicken parmasian and it was good, as was thebreadand salad i got. the death by chocolate was also tasty. will defineately visit again when i'm in town.

big regret. i tried this restaurant on a business trip to corpus due to the positive reviews on urbanspoon.com. it was a big mistake!

it's a small, cozy restaurant. it's got a very "homey" feel, so we were excited when we got there.

service
however, service was terrible. once we were seated, it was like we were forgotten. no menus, no water... nothing. after 15 minutes, a waitress asked us if we had been given menus. then it took another 20 minutes before someone came back to see if we were ready to order.

food
the food was terrible. i ordered a salad with my meal- it was the same lettuce mix bag you can get from any grocery store. that and one half slice of a tomato was the salad. plus a puddle of ranch over it all.

the garlicbreadtasted exactly like (and looked exactly like) the frozen pepperidge farm garlic bread.

i had a side of spaghetti with my meal- the tomato sauce was terribly sour.

my husband's ravioli was also from the freezer aisle of some grocery store. it tasted like the stuff i have bought from kroger in the past.

the only likable thing about this restaurant is the set-up. it really comes across as a "hole-in-the-wall" place, but it fails to deliver on the food.

this place has always been a favorite of mine - excellent pizza!! at lunch they don't serve pizza but they have amazing pizzabreadwhich is just garlicbreadtopped w/ cheese & toppings. yum!!

just ok. we eat at franks 3-4 times a year. our visit yesterday was disappointing compared to previous visits. the spaghetti sauce was much too tart, but the garlicbreadwas as good as it always has been.

thebreadwas great, other than that i have nothing nice to say. it took us 50 minutes to get our meal and only one person actually enjoyed their meal. we will not be coming back. i was very disappointed especially concidering how authentic the place looked.
