    Free Tequila Tomorrow ...sums this amazing restaurant up! From the delicious menu items that had my mouth watering even before the server came around to take our order. A meat-forward establishment with so many options for everyone’s tastes. The friendly and fun staff to the eclectic artwork, and tasty food. An “all-thumbs-up” experience!

    Fun little eatery at a great location and perfect music (don't underestimate that part). We had a nice bite and spicy Caesar before our whale watching trip. The panko crusted cod was so good!

    Great little restaurant in the heart of Ucluelet. Fish and chips and delicious. Great fries and the fish was fresh. We also had the spicy tuna burger with ceaser salad. The tuna was perfectly cooked and tasty. Great service and tasty beers. Good music.

    We loved Frankie's so much that we visited 3 times during our honeymoon! Not only was the food the best restaurant food we've EVER had, but the service was top notch. If you get a chance to meet Frankie, which you probably will, he is elbows deep in the service. He would pop out of the kitchen to serve food, clear tables, ask how you're doing, and overall add to the experience. First day we got: Cheeseburger Seafood linguine Second day: Cod and chips (drool worthy! We knew we had to come back when we saw everyone order this the first day AND saw Frankie grabbing beer from the bar for the fresh beer batter) Spicy bourbon chicken wings (ordered these after we saw someone else order them) Third day: Tuna burger (beautiful, check the pictures for the close up) Cod and chips, again ;) Bacon wrapped scallops Ordered to take home for dinner: Pulled pork Mac and cheese Habanero chicken wings Every item that came out of the kitchen was a beautiful, perfectly executed plate. Don't sleep on the coleslaw, it's divine! Oh, and try the margaritas!
