Franks Pasta and Grill - Cobourg

To begin with, let's remove the "Pasta" from the restaurant's name. I ordered the spaghetti with tomato sauce and meatballs, starting with a delicious minestrone soup.

My wife and I recently moved to Cobourg and have dined at Frank's a few times in the short time we've been in town.

It's great to see the restaurant making an effort to clean up, but unfortunately, the washrooms were still in poor condition. The food was supposed to be good, but it was actually quite disappointing. I would recommend spending your money at the Oasis bar and grill downtown instead - you won't regret it.

The Studebaker club had rallied this weekend in Cobourg area. The group stayed in Cobourg from Friday to Sunday. Prior to the rally, my husband made the reservation for about 30 people. On Friday evening around 6 p.m., the club members went to the restaurant and the waitresses provided us with the menu. After ordering the food, the owner came to our table and socialized with the group. We received our meal, the meat was tough, but for those who had fish said it was good. When the servers brought us the bills, the prices appeared on the receipts were completely different from the menu. Even though, people noticed the price differences, they did not question. As my husband was paying the server, I asked him for the bill, immediately I noticed that there was a discrepancy and confronted the server. She then went to her boss and was told that there are new prices starting next week and had already made changes on the system. However, the servers, including the owner's wife did not mention to us about the new prices because they were unaware of the changes. I was surprised by the owner’s behaviour and disappointed as well of the inconsistency and his dishonesty. I will never eat there again.

This place was awful from the moment I arrived. I expected there to be chicken wire protecting the band. The smell was almost bad enough to make me leave, but I wanted to see my friend's band play. The man who served me my first drink was great. After that I had to beg. The food was horrendous. I wasn't expecting anything spectacular, but this was bad even for pub grub. I should have listened and gotten the wings. They looked decent. Once the cheesy light show started, I had had enough. It was a struggle to get someone to take my money even.
