FAQs

Are you brunch & lunch only?

Not anymore! Find Frank’s at Night every Friday, 5-9:30 pm. You can reserve a table here. Walk-ins are always available.

Why auto-gratuity?

We are embracing 20% auto-gratuity on all dine-in checks as a part of our service model to help provide consistent and equitable income for staff in a way that the traditional tipping system does not. 

Whether or not a server receives a fair and adequate tip can be based on criteria that is largely superficial — looks, smiles, outfit, etc. We don’t believe in creating an environment where your wage depends on anything but how you do your job.

20% auto-gratuity also makes space for us to provide kitchen & support staff with a fair and livable wage. In a tipped system, the customary 18-20% comes in as revenue only for the service team, and is not typically shared with back of the house. Our kitchen staff plays an equal role in the quality of a diner’s experience, and we believe they should be compensated as such. With both FOH and BOH staff making above minimum wage hourly pay before tips, we are excited to offer livable wages to all of our staff.

We hope that you understand this is not a decision we’ve come to lightly — and that ultimately we believe sweeping industry reform is necessary to be a sustainable way of life for small business owners and their staff.

Who are Frank & Laurie?

Frank & Laurie are Eric’s maternal grandparents. Their home was the place where he learned what a perfect runny yolk is like, how dark to take a pancake, and that ranch is good on most things. Although we can never replicate these core food memories, we hope dining at our little corner spot will come close.
