About Frankie

Let me introduce you to Frankie Restaurant, a laid-back Australian restaurant tucked into the heart of Jersey City at 264 Grove St, Jersey City, NJ 07302, United States, a spot that instantly feels like a neighborhood favorite the moment you walk by. Frankie has this relaxed, sun-soaked Aussie energy that makes it easy to settle in, whether you’re stopping by for a casual coffee or meeting friends for cocktails after work. I usually describe it as effortless and welcoming, with a menu that balances comfort food cravings and lighter, healthier options without trying too hard. The service options are flexible, which I appreciate, because you can grab takeaway on a busy day, sit down for a full dine-in experience, or enjoy outdoor seating when the weather cooperates. If staying home is more your speed, delivery makes it easy to bring that same vibe to your couch. What really stands out at Frankie is how broad the offerings feel while still staying focused. There’s a solid lineup of beer, wine, and spirits, plus cocktails that work just as well for happy-hour drinks as they do late at night. Happy-hour food keeps the energy social, while late-night food makes it a comfortable choice when plans run longer than expected. At the same time, the food menu leans into small plates and shareable dishes, which makes it fun to explore with a group. You’ll find vegetarian options, organic dishes, and thoughtfully prepared comfort food that doesn’t feel heavy or outdated. I also like that coffee plays a real role here, not just as an afterthought, which makes Frankie a reliable daytime stop too. The atmosphere stays casual and conversational throughout the day, shifting smoothly from morning coffee runs to lively evenings without losing its personality, which is part of why introducing people to Frankie always feels easy and natural.

Amazing vibes, great food and drinks and happy hour deals. Probably the nicest looking space I’ve been in Jersey City! It’s so nice that they seem to change their menu pretty often - the spring risotto was incredible so I’m sad it’s gone though! The burger was really good flavor-wise but it was a two thin patty medium-well done burger (I generally prefer a thick medium rare!)

Probably the coolest vibes outside of the West Village—and it’s right in the heart of JC. Frankie’s is an effortlessly stylish Australian spot that feels like a hidden gem but delivers like a destination. Whether you’re trying to impress out-of-towners or a date, this place hits the mark. Drinks? Solid across the board. The Lovely Creature—served in a whimsical frog mug—is a spicy mezcal punch that feels tailor-made for a boat cruise or summer rooftop hang. But the standout is Let’s Stay Together—an unbelievable old fashioned that balances depth, smoothness, and just the right twist to make you rethink what an old fashioned can be. Food-wise, don’t skip the kimchi fried chicken. It’s crispy, punchy, and totally worthy of main dish status. Sit at the bar if you can—it’s the best seat in the house to soak in the atmosphere, the music, and the laid-back but elevated energy. Frankie’s isn’t just good—it’s one of the best spots in Jersey City, full stop.

Tried half the menu! Kimchi fried chicken- everyone’s favorite Red pepper dip flatbread- insanely delicious Corn ribs- great for the table but only if you love corn Crab and corn fried rice- solid but wouldn’t order again. Flavor was underwhelming. Burger- fantastic. Meat pasta- pasta was undercooked but flavor was there Green curry- coconut and tasty

Amazing cocktails, we got a brown butter old fashioned and a gin and cucumber cocktail. Both phenomenal. The food was fantastic. Really recommend going and getting the kimchi fried chicken.

Tried this Aussie gem and it was a deliciously unique experience! The avo toast was fresh and vibrant, the Full Aussie platter hearty and satisfying. The Welsh rarebit stood out — perfectly poached eggs over sourdough with a rich Guinness spread that was bold and flavorful. Even the Vegemite toast, a first for us, was surprisingly tasty with its salty kick. Every dish brought something new to the table, offering an authentic taste of Australia in every bite. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore bold, comforting flavors!

How fantastic this restaurant was, was almost fantasy like. The tables were spotless, the staff was so kind, the food was great, full of taste and depth, and the music was excellent and set at a very reasonable volume. The bartender was so so kind and I couldn’t have appreciated the service more. The mocktails were fairly priced, and the entire restaurant was beyond spotless as far as cleanliness goes. They’re well priced, well staffed, and the food is great. What more can you even ask of them?

We dined here on a busy Friday night. They had no problem seeing us right away, or party of three. Short rib curry was tasty. And the wife really enjoyed her meat pie with mashed potatoes. Great quiCk service and tasty food.
