a staple of "old school" dining in the corpus christi area, franks has a few perks for anyone looking for american italian food.
don't get me wrong, the food is good, but when you consider the price point, it drops the food down to the 'ok' category. if you're looking for a plate of spaghetti and meatballs or another simple pasta plate, this is theplacefor you. the inside is a little dark, but that adds to the atmosphere of a house-renovated-restaurant, of course at lunch time, you go blind for a half-minute while your eyes adjust to the interior.
not bad for a nice date, but definitely a popular place--not for a real quiet private date thats for sure.
its in an area that makes some residents of corpus christi cringe a little when driving through, but by no means is it in a bad area.
