If it’s real American Style Dining you are looking for, Franky’s is definitely your best bet. Presentation of the food was appealing to the eye & we received our meals in a short space of time. Their “southern fried wings & BBQ sauce” and their Piggy 🐷 Burger 🍔 was a hit! Not forgetting my all time FAV...the legendary Corn Dog 😱 The service was fairly good as well. With that being said... it’s a Yes from me 👌🏻
Franky’s Diner is the closest thing to a true American Diner that you’ll ever find in Cape Town. From the décor to the menu – it’s a restaurant that transports you to 50s America, and it’s absolutely delightful.
I visited Franky’s five years ago (shortly after they opened I think) and we dressed up in proper 50s/60s clothing, hair and makeup (super fun idea for a party) and it was a jol. We had delicious diner fair (milkshakes, curly fries and burgers) and we had fun playing around on the jukebox. All in all it was a great outing.
I went there a few days ago again, this time with my grandparents and I’m glad to say that Franky’s has expanded, but stayed true to their USA diner essence. We had the Banana Split to share and it was amazing! Banana Split is not something you find on a menu easily, and this one was an absolute treat. The toasted nuts really made this decadent dessert something to write home about!
They’re open 24/7 – like a real American Diner should be haha. Visit Franky’s for a delicious milkshake, Americana nostalgia, and deep fried deliciousness.
Open 24 hours 😊
Proper American diner experience.

Was a nice experience.
Milkshakes are to die for.
