L A Franks A family owned, seasonal outdoor eatery with access to the Grand River and walking paths. The seating area is completely outdoors.

Franks will continue to follow any recommended public health measures in the upcoming season. We will also report bylaw infractions with the hope of keeping Mill Race Park a place where people feel safe and welcome. We are a small, family run business that focuses on hard work, consistency and staff empowerment. Our menu is simple, old fashioned burger fare with chicken, pork and vegetarian options. "For here, or to go?" means are you eating in the park and plan to return our non-disposable tray, OR are you walking or driving away. We will pack your order in a cardboard box. If you are looking for some local activities near Franks, Southworks Antique Mall is right across the street, the walking path along the river makes a loop over the foot bridge near Firestone, along Grand Ave to the bridge on Park Hill and back to Franks, or why not ride your bike from Kitchener or Paris on the path networks. We will be closed for the May long weekend and then open every other day until the last Sunday in September.

September is here! The countdown is on! Starting Labour Day, our hours will be 1130 to 7 pm. The kids need to do their homework! The window will close Sunday Sept 27 at 7 pm for the season.

THE LIME VANILLA SWIRL IS IN FOR SEPTEMBER!

Brandon will be coming the weekend of 19/20 to collect the pop tabs. There have been donations all summer, big and small! Every tab helps!! Franks customers have been AWESOME!! Little baggies and big jugs alike have crossed our window threshold.

Just a reminder, our machine still rejects credit cards. Cash, Canadian Tire money and debit are available. (Please note: the amount owing is the amount owing. We had an irate customer yesterday threatening to stop coming if we made him break his ten dollar bill for the dime he owed. I guess he’s not coming anymore! Our landlord, suppliers, staff and government expect us to pay every cent we owe them…I’m not sure what to say…)

Here’s hoping for some sun and fresh air for the last few weeks of the season. Remember kids are heading back to school. SLOW DOWN and drive with caution!!

It’s been raining all night!  We’re closing  at 730!  Sorry for any inconvenience!
