About Franky & Louie's Beachfront Bar & Grill

Franky & Louie's Beachfront Bar & Grill at Sunrise Beach offers a lively spot with food, drinks, and lake access amenities. Patrons consistently praise the attentive service from staff like Shawna and Madison, alongside the fun atmosphere and generally good food, though some note pricing and occasional service inconsistencies. This venue suits families with teens and groups looking for a busy, energetic lakeside hangout with beach activities and live music.

The Good

Customers consistently praise the fun, lively atmosphere, great views of the lake, and the availability of beach access, swimming areas, and beach games like volleyball. Specific food items frequently highlighted include the pizza (thin crust, cut in squares), bucket cocktails, Cuban sandwich, and buffalo chicken rangoons. Several servers, particularly Shawna, Madison (Maddy/Madison H), Lexi Chase, and Maggie, received exceptional praise for being attentive, friendly, quick, and providing superb customer service, often making the experience significantly better. The location is also noted for being convenient for boaters, offering dock access and watercraft services.

Things to Consider

The primary complaints revolve around inconsistent food quality (e.g., raw fish, salty/gristly sandwiches) and perceived overpricing for some items. A significant negative experience involved extremely pushy and rude patrons hovering and demanding tables, effectively forcing one group to leave. Additionally, some visitors found the environment inappropriate for young children due to the behavior and attire of some adult patrons, contradicting the family-friendly advertising. Service can occasionally be slow or inattentive, such as long waits for initial service or needing to flag down staff, and one instance involved a waitress rudely removing an umbrella from a table.
