Big Frank's Sausage - North Township

An old friend of mine knew I was up in Hammond and recommended I pop in here to try the eats. He didn't steer me wrong. It's def a dive bar type spot, and man can they make some good pierogi. I got a sampler plate and everything was beyond delicious. I also had a cosmo, which I know, I should have gotten a polish beer but I like my girly drinks, what can I say. If you're in the region you def gotta pop in here at some point, you will love it. Comfort food at its finest.

Stuffed cabbage was cold. Told the waitress/bartender and she could have cared less. She took our plates, brought them back and they were just a bit warmer, no where close to hot. She never came back to check if they were OK. That's now the second and last time that happened to us. We'll never go back.

The smoke sausage is amazing! Had a feast of a meal for less than $25 and took home enough food to have a whole second meal of leftovers. The staff were friendly, the patrons appeared to all know each other and this place seems to have been around forever.

Been yearning for some mom style cooking..... found it. Big Franks is not fancy, but the food is done right. Wife and I both ordered a platter with varied polish style offerings. Center stage golabaki, kraut and pierogis. ALL served hot and flavorful. Monday afternoon so service was very attentive and inviting. Parking easy. Ambiance is that of a tavern with booths and tables. Can't pass up a few Zywiec on tap. No need to expound on the faire, it was in my review, PERFECT. We will now make this a regular stop.

I wouldn't drive more than a few miles out of my way or make a special trip to eat here. Basically Bar style polish food. Potato pancakes were limp and had a distinct sour flavor from what I assume was sour kraut mixed in. Stuffed cabbage was covered in straight tomato sauce. Pierogi out of a box. Polish sausage was dried out and very salty. Kraut was very tart and straight out of a can.
