“It's alright”
Went to Frank's 2 weeks back, the waiter asked us if we'd like a menu each after we had sat for a good 5 minutes. The outside area was windy and everytime I had a smoke the ash went flying everywhere from the open top ash tray. We received no drinks menu so just ordered water and 1 cappuccino. The cappuccino was very nice albeit a bit small for the price which I hadn't known at the time of ordering. We ordered 2 burgers, both the "3 steps from heaven" burger. I ordered mine medium and my friend said I'll take exactly what he's having. When the burgers arrived they were nice but not worth the R150. The waitron who brought he food was not the same one that was serving us. They called out for the medium and I grabbed the plate, they then put the burger down announcing "well-done 3 steps from heaven for you". When my friend bit into it it was medium rare... Not only were they not able to cook 2 patties the same after doubling an order but they didn't even know how the meat was cooked or what it was supposed to be. When I got the bill I was shocked to find out that one of the burgers were free because it was a Monday. We were told of no promotions and no specials. Will visit in a month and see how it compares. As of right now I can't give it more than a 2.
