Fancy Franks in North York

Best hot dog place in the world

Got double animal burger, for some reason one patty was well done while the other one was rare-medium rare inside, even though patties are cooked on a timer. Called store they suggested they can remake it, however i dont live in the area so its not possible

Great fast food with a Coney Island spin.

The best burger I have ever tasted.

We love Fancy Franks. Hotdogs are excellent: high quality sausages and buns, plenty of different types of sauce and fillings. Burgers are delicious, French fries and poutine - fresh cut, freshly fried Perfect for hungry people Vegetarian options: They have a variety of plant based burgers and hotdogs Kid-friendliness: The stuff is nice and friendly

We decide to try this place .As we approach the door, A worker comes out with a tray of grease and dumps it in a steel garbage bin in view near the street. What a filthy entrance floor disgusting, concrete disgusting at entrance . Hot dogs ice cold after saying well done. Fries little bits dry cold awful and a bitter taste. What a joke can t believe this place survives on Avenue road. UNREAL disappointment ,first and last time.

As a regular, very disappointed for today s service. Firstly the order was wrong placed and then, the burger did not come with the topping and sauce I ordered!

Absolutely delicious

They got a weekday special 2 for 7 bucks ! Staff super friendly

Slow and rude service

These guyz can make you wait for like 45 mins for the order...never go there..very unprofessional staff ..

Asian guy front counter rude. Where s your customer service?

bruh. this place was garbaj (thats fancy garbage, bc fancy area). id been to an ffs once prior, gotta be like a decade ago and somewhere closer to dt i wanna say? was craving a dog something fierce the other day and decided to give it a whirl again- needless to say, quickly reminded why i hard passed on this joint after that experience all those years ago. this spot is, simply put, trash. firstly, my order of a dog + chilli cheese fries took unbelievably long- about 20-25 min-, but beyond the absurd wait, what i was rewarded with was just a gross, overly-processed (not in a good way), and really just awfully-flavoured mess of food i imagine is inferior even to what they service in prison. the chilli cheese fries... man, those are a crime against humanity... you guys need to seriously reevaluate your chilli recipe, as it features some serious wonky/vile notes which have no damn place in a chilli... also, it was totally watery, whats up with that? piled onto your gross agent orange cheese (which has way less flavour than its synthetic look implies), and atop those sadly-seasoned frites, the dish comes together to form a perfect pile of slobber. thanks to that gross wet chilli, it is instantly transforms the dish into one soggy gross wet mess. YUCK. and the dog... how are you guys even in business? a damn costco dog runs laps and laps and laps around you- spare me all the novelty toppings, id rather a plain costco dog over your most deluxe offering any day of the week, twice on the lords day. unbelievable. wow.

This is a an excellent overall restaurant. Food is great, staff is friendly and helpful. I recommend you come and check it out. One of the best hot dogs I ve ever had.

Fancy Franks has the BEST hot dogs and burgers in town!! From the delicious food to the attentive service to the charming ambiance, this place exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend!!

Really good food. Would come back.

Amazing food I got a poutine and didn t have much of a wait at all. Employees made it very easy for me to order as well as let me know I could customize my order.

Hot dogs, burgers, fries- everything here is TO DIE FOR! The food is always amazing with so much variety, and the staff is always super friendly. One of my favourite spots for sure!

customer service is great and food is delicious!

Amazing food, great service. Honestly one of my favourite places to grab fast food always so welcoming and delicious.

Just took my family to lunch at the Avenue Road location. Both food and service was amazing! The Fancy La La Dog and bacon onion cheeseburger was delicious, they have the best cut fries , will be back soon.

When we re in the area on weekends we always look forward to stopping by Fancy Franks(corner of Avenue Rd. & Lawrence by the Starbucks). Tim,Ty, Will and the rest of the crew are very customer centric and often know what we want even before we order. They have a clean, efficient and organized operation going on. And more importantly their food, shakes and other offerings are over the top ! This is evident from the amount of walk-ins and UBER Eats drivers you ll see while you re waiting for your food. Which btw doesn t take long as this team always serves it up fast, fresh and tasty !! If you get the chance Check it out. You won t be disappointed !!! Parking: Depends on time of day but if parking is unavailable there is a parking lot just across the street where Shoppers Drug is. Kid-friendliness: This place is extremely kid friendly and offers a lot of food options and old school sweet treats for afterwards such as twinkies, Jos. Louis and Fancy s famous giant cookie !!

This place has some great food! The atmosphere was awesome the moment we walked in. The service was quick and food tasted amazing. I would recommend any of the poutines or burgers. I was starving when I came in and ordered a poutine and burger and couldn t finish it. 10/10 would come back with friends and family. Kid-friendliness: Great options for kids food!

Staff are amazing, food is delicious definitely worth the money! Will be back soon.

Best poutine in North Toronto.

Hot dog? Fancy Franks

I ordered pickup through DoorDash, food was great. The hot dogs and curly fries are top. They were very fast and I ll definitely come back

The guys that work here Monday nights are the absolute BEST !!!! TOP quality food and TOP quality service 10/10 would ABSOLUTELY recommend !!! Im a vegetarian and I can confirm the food is the bomb !!!! Vegetarian options: Vegetarians WELCOME !

Second time ordering from Fancy Franks on Uber Eats this week because the first time was that good. We got the Animal Double and the Double Classic Bacon Cheeseburger. Both burgers, especially the cheeseburger, were absolutely delicious! Onion rings and poutine were also great. Definitely on the pricier side, but so worth it. Franks will be our go-to burger place from now on!

The single tastiest hamburger Ive ever had. It was worth every dollar, and I would definitely go back. I had the Animal Double with fries and I couldnt believe how tasty the patties were. Super fresh, nice seasoning, perfectly cooked. Keep up the great work!

The worst attitude ever. Sunday evening March 10th.

This food is so good.

Hot dogs and burgers ok... Chilli fries and onion rings ...meh Vanilla shake tasted spoiled Sorry, one and done Burger Priest much better...

Best burgers in the North end! Impeccable poutine. The choriza sausage with the saukraut is top notch

Great burger & poutine, always consistent definitely recommend. Known for their hotdogs which I need to try - but I personally cant resist the burger.

If you like hot dogs and sausages, this place is great!

bad hot dogs , big buns ,

Food was tasty but pricey. Staff were capable but apathetic. Food was served hot, fresh and 100% correctly made as ordered. I ll try it again in the spring if i win the lotto.

The best hotdog I have literally every had. Had the laladog and Cajun fries. Super flavourful almost sent me to heaven. Fantastic service, great prices, fresh and hot. This was an experience and I think I saw god. Vegetarian options: Veggie options looked phenomenal. Many to choose from. Kosher too.

I go to the Avenue rd. location all the time and normally I would give them a big old 5 but tonight my rating is a big fat 1. I ordered a poutine with gravy on the side and they gave me no gravy!!!! It is not a poutine without gravy! I dont drive and I dont live close enough to walk and all he could say is if you want to come back you can get it. My dinner is totally ruined and his response is unacceptable. I was a regular customer but I dont know that I want to go back. There food is expensive you should at least get what you paid for. They should be able to deliver the missing item.

I know its fancy FRANKS but they have the best burgers around! Always my go-to spot

First time trying and I was unimpressed. For a $10 hotdog I expected more. Nothing special for me as I did not enjoy the taste of the hotdogs. It needs to be $5 cheaper for me to even consider it.

Delicious, high quality hot dogs and fries!! Weve been looking for a good poutine place and I think weve found it! We saw that they were getting their meats delivered from The Butcher Shoppe - so thats a great sign! Service was really bad. Maybe we caught the person at the counter on a bad day, but he wasnt friendly at all and basically looked very grumpy the whole time. We felt like we werent supposed to be there or as if we were bothering him. We might check out a different location, or take it to go next time.

Excellent burgers

My wife and I ate at Fancy Franks for the first time today I had the Coney Island hotdog with curly fries and a strawberry shake my wife had Poutine and a Corn Dog every thing from the staff to the food was fabulous definitely going back

Funny how a hotdog place has the best burger around. Totally recommend.

Very slow service. I place an app order, waited 10 min in my car and went in only to realize they havent even started cook my burgers.

Small cozy hotdog store

Went there late night July 29th. Food was pretty good here. The late night staff was awesome. Seemed like they really enjoyed their jobs.

Not really impressed Could be better for that price. Milkshakes? No, just sweet milk Onion rings were the most tasty, but they are hard to spoil

First and last time ordering from here! Cold , soggy hotdog sandwich.. as soon as I picked it up it broke a part . Not so tasty & definitely not worth the price . Have a better chance buying a hotdog from a street vendor on the side of the street.

Was gonna try their hot dogs. Instead ordered their burger special, it was great Food

This place is absolutely horrendous. I waited FOREVER for my food and it was stale. After making a complained, the staff had major attitude problem. Never coming back to this location again. (Avenue Rd and Lawrence). More to it, the music was loud as heck and we couldnt eat in peace.

Great, affordable cheeseburger. Love the Franks sauce! Parking: Small lot Food : 5/5 |

Absolutely excellent. Had the tex mex chilli dog and loved it! Staff was cheerful and welcoming, place was clean and the menu is something Id like to explore further Thanks for the treat!!!!

Whoa. House dog meat is inedible

The service was excellent, and the taste of the food was very good, the atmosphere was a bit rustic but its their style, well I imagine.

Excellent food hit the spot will be a regular customer from now on

I have been wanting to try this place for a while! We both got the Fancy La La Hot Dog this afternoon, and it was delicious. The bun was high quality and soft, the hot dog itself was similar to a sausage in terms of texture and quality. The fried jalapenos, real crispy bacon and the American cheese sauce was so tasty. We didnt order this time, but the onion rings and shakes looked amazing. The staff were friendly and efficient (I believe the owner or manager took our order, very nice gentleman) and the place was busy. Ill be back soon! Cant wait to try the other products. Vegetarian options: Beyond Meat options!

Normally pretty good but this is what my corn dog looked like today. Ordered through UberEats so I guess they figured it wouldn t matter giving it to me burnt bc I probably wouldn t come back and get a new one. Which yeah I won t, that kinda defeats the purpose of delivering. Do better, Franks

Outstanding! Outstanding! This is a gourmet burger shop and more. Love the dogs! Fresh!!! Great service. Free parking.

Great

Very good

So glad I hit the red light at Avenue and Lawrence and glanced over at the Fancy Franks sign. CORN DOG. Woof, MMMMMMM!!!!!

Love their corn dog.

Amazing food, amazing service! I m a regular now after trying just once :)

I need to write a good review where it is needed. Price is reasonable and quality is good. Way better than fancy restaurant burgers!

Torontos best burgers!

Good food, this place is a gem. Love their daily menu which has intrigued me to try new things that I end up liking. Their open later than most places in the area which is good. Sad their location on queen west is gone. Good food, good service this place is sweet.

Came in here by accident. Best tasting hot dog i ve ever had in my life. I will never ever eat street meet again after this. Bravo!

Im not sure about back home but that was the best burger Ive ever had in Toronto.

The burger was so go9d that I cant stop thinking about it. I also had a frank which was tasty and satisfying.

Ordered through Uber eats and it was the first time trying this restaurant. I m not sure if it was the restaurant or the delivery but the food came absolutely stone cold (it took over an hour to get here) I ordered the texi mexi and the coney island, after trying a few bites of each I could tell right away it wasnt good and very very oily. Its now left me feeling extremely sick to my stomach. So disappointed

Great fries and onion rings

Onion rings were amazing. The hotdog itself was mildly over cooked, however the toppings were spot on

good dogs!

Good

Best hot dogs in the city. Fresh toppings and courteous staff

Better than what you can get from Canadian Tire for sure. ) I found it quite pricey tho. Almost 10 bucks for one beyond meat dog.

After two years of walking and driving past this place, today was the day to spend $7+ on a hot dog. Worth $7??? 100% yes. These dogs are very high quality 100% beef and held together with a lamb casing. The bun is special and gets a nice toasted treatment. Toppings are fresh and theres plenty of ways to customize. I opted for the special of the day and picked up a Coney Island Chili Dog or a very reasonable $5. Will I come here weekly... no, its a once every few months kinda place. For me anyway. If I was coming home in the wee hours of the morning from an evening on the town... it would be a awesome last stop.

Great menu and friendly service. So pleased to have FF in our neighbourhood.

Whenever my coworkers and I work in this area, we can t ever seem to go anywhere else cause the food is so good here, we always have to come back! Amazing hamburgers !

Turkey dogs and French fries are good. Not to keen on their all beef hotdogs, have tasted better.

Not bad but I thought the dog would be bigger. I didnt like the chilly on the Coney. I might be back.

Its ok. Not great taste.

Amazing food! Love love love ! And best service ever! The burgers are bomb!

Good hotdog and fry. Many topping

I just picked up 2 orders of fries and they were UNCOOKED. Like eating raw potatoes!

Early lunch today!! Had the Coney island...tasted great...chili on top was perfect.

Fancy Franks ,is it so Fancy? I just discovered that they had opened a shop at Lawrence & Avenue road so I decided to stop in. I went pretty simple on this by ordering the Just Frank combo, as I was waiting for my order I noticed a board above the door on the wall that they have daily $5 special wish I had seen this before placing my order. My order came to $15 which I found a tad pricey since my dog wasnt really very gourmet, any way the order came up and you only get a choice of 4 topping, onions, sauerkraut, banana peppers and one other that I cant recall, not great to limit your customers like that since what I really wanted was some fresh toppings like lettuce, tomato and few other things( which they had in a display case, but probably reserved for burgers) so bottom line I couldnt customize my plain dog to be a bit more fancy. Anyway I took the banana peppers and some sauces, the hotdog it self tasted good, the casing had that snap that you want in a hot dog and the bun nice and soft but beware if you go crazy on saucing up your dog the bun will fall apart.

Really good food!

Absolutely amazing food and service. Boyfriend and I eat from here very frequently with no complaints. Recently I was treated very well as a returning customer. Straight up, up solid food and good people. Absolutely no complaints. Definitely try this place.

The Chicago dog was good with fresh toppings and an amazing bun. My only take away is the dog itself. Its a bit tougher than I like. I will try the sausage next.

I oreded the double bacon cheese burger through uber and I must say even after it was delivered it was perfect, just what I expected and wanted, such a good and tasty burger and the grilled onions were a great touch on it, 10/10 would order again, the Cajun fries were delicious and cooked perfectly, the only down fall I had is that I havent been to this place sooner. Well done!

I asked for a Fancy La la and it was perfect

Really tasty but the fries came out too hot! Had to wait 15 min for them to cool down.

Decided to go give this place a try everything was good. The staff was friendly very helpful. I just think my corn dog either oil was dirty or it was burnt. Everything else was right on

Very delicious Berger. I always enjoy that Berger thank you so much guys.

If you re a burger and hot dog lover try this location and support local business!

Great staff, friendly service.

Their corn dogs and chili cheese fries are my favorites.

Was asked to leave the store so she could make my order, never seen that but whatever so I did... but then she just takes her mask off and breaths all over my burger while making it? also onions are free unless u want them on the grill with ur burger then its extra...

Definitely not worth the money, I prefer a street hot dog vendor to this one. Not cheap, they do provide good service. I dont care what anyone says I prefer the bbq grilled taste of a street dog much better and its also a lot cheaper!

Definitely nothing fancy or special about this hot dog. Cold, terrible bun and mediocre toppings. Save your time and money and skip this place.

Greasy CNE midway quality food. The only thing fancy is the price. Cold tasteless fries and burgers to match.

Didn t know what to expect but I have to say my family and I were pleasantly surprised. Lots of different hotdogs to choose from ex: Québécois Frank loaded with curds, gravy & fries , amazing poutine, & the hamburger was delicious. The portions are great & we found it priced fairly. We didn t try the snack boxes but I did notice they also have milkshakes Friendly staff. Would definitely be back.

Great selection and great tasting hot dogs. Their chicken sandwich is SO good! Onion rings are perfectly crispy. It is a bit on the pricey side but worth it. Good place for some lunch or dinner. $5 dogs every day of the week, alternating variety.

I love this place

Had it before and loved it. Ordered again and not only waste the taste not as great as I remembered, but the order noted werent followed. Kinda bummed as they were about to close so I couldnt get the correct order. Probs wont order again but it wasnt terribly priced. If placing an order on uber, call in to make sure they actually follow the order notes. I know its a busy time for everyone but I did input the notes for a reason (allergy). Otherwise not a bad option.

Real good

Great little dog house (and burgers etc.) - super fresh brioche buns, fresh cut fries, loads of topping choices. Going again today - 4 times in 6 weeks. Fantastic new addition to the neighbourhood.

Disgusted with size of the chicken sandwich Tasty.Impressed with friendliness of cashier

Would never recommend. Went for the first time this weekend and both staff members were unfriendly, hot dog was dry, not very good value, and both my bfs and my stomachs were upset for 2 days after going.

Staff is nice, food is okay.

Great hotdogs, almost perfect burgers, amazing fries! Youll just love how everything is organized and neat inside this little restaurant. Theyre super fast in delivering service and you have tons of sidings to choose from. This will go on your top cozy eateries in the city.

BEST POUTINE EVER!!! Their hotdogs and burgers are to die for, especially the ones with beyond meat. Tim is a wonderful guy who welcomes you with one big smile. Very friendly staff. Tbh, they have my loyalty. My go to place for lip-smacking food! **Their onion rings also deserves a special mention**

Hot dog is basic. The toppings make the flavour. Should use a larger hot dog then it would be worth the price.

A hot dog with substance in the city, finally! Top Dog!

Worst tasting hot dog I ever had. They threw it in the deep fryer and the grill. Very dissapointed. My friend also told me they charged us $3.80 for a bottled coke. On the plus side the fries were good. Overall a dissaster of a place.

I go here regularly with my daughter. We love the poutines. Very yummy food. Would have given a five but they forgot to put on the hotdog slices in the poutine once and brushed it off when I mentioned it, but somewhat forgivable due to the yummy food and the cool owner. I would recommend.

This is a wonderful resturant that I have been going to for years. It is my favourite stress food and fills me up always. It has the best food in the area in my opinion.

Very good hot dogs and poutine! Limited seating room and parking but the food is definitely worth it.

Just tried out their new location at Ave. Rd. and Lawrence. The hot dogs are exceptional and the choice of toppings is broad and creative. If youve never tried it before you have to try it at least once. The shakes are pretty damn good as well.

Good food, friendly service, lots to choose from on the menu, and the prices are reasonable. We enjoyed the burger just as much if not more than the hot dog, fries could have been a bit crispier for the poutine, but the onion rings were perfectly golden crispy. Despite some people liking the huge hot dog buns, I thought it was a bit too bread-y and overpowers the hot dog. May check it out again because its very new to the hood.

This restaurant is an absolute gem. Not sure about the Hot Dogs, but let me tell you, that burger was one of the best in the city if not the world. You will want to go back within an hour and get 14 more burgers. Please go here and see what Im talking about. Highly recommend!

Very friendly owner. Had a chit chat with him. He let me sit down while I waited for the food. Excellent food.

ordered a snackbox of chicken fingers n fries and literally got like 10 fries - it was still good but the portion was ridic for the price

Great tasting hot dogs. Nice snap to them when you take a bite. Good beef flavour.

I had a really nice lunch. For $12.99+tax, you get fries, a bottle drink and a cheeseburger. The food was delicious. The staff were great. The space was very clean. I will return.

Undercooked boring hotdogs, I d stick to the fries.

Addicting hot dogs with so many options! Even delivery through uber is always perfect!

It was over priced and didnt taste like anything special they had regular toppings like a street meat stand not worth the money your better off getting a hot dog downtown for 3 dollars wasnt WOWed at all

I m a mean commentator, so every 5-star I give out is actually more than just a 5-star. You can consider it a very high recognition of the restaurant s customer service and food quality in the region. Certainly, they would have shifts of staff, but even so, most of them are professional, caring, and with good hygiene. Pricing is reasonable and some food may be underpriced a bit. Just go enjoy your meal with them. This is my only 5-star in months.
