Dinghy's Restaurant & Bar

If Dinghy's Restaurant & Bar does one thing they will get you tipsy.

I visited Dinghy's with my family during our family vacation. During my visit it was really busy but we were able to get seated rather quickly. Our waiter was fairly new, I believe it was his third day, but he was very friendly and got our food/drinks quickly.

Anytime I visit a place that has BBQ is I like to try it out so I shared the BBQ Platter with my husband. The platter included a half-rack ribs, half-chicken, and pulled pork. The entree came with fries, we choose the bomba fries, and a side of mac-n-cheese.

I was surprised but the mac-n-cheese was tasty. I didn't have high expectation for it but it was just enough cheese. I liked the half-rack ribs the most from the platter. The half-chicken was dry but most places don't make good grilled chicken. The pork was also dry and not that tasty.

I enjoyed the fries that had the cajun spices on them but the cajun seasoning wasn't evenly distributed on the fries. Only the ones on the top layer had the seasoning. This could've been easily solved by mixing the fries together to evenly distribute the seasoning.

Dinghy's does make a strong drink. I visited twice during my visit to Frankfort and one visit was just for the drinks. The bartender has a heavy pour but the drinks were still tasty enough that the alcohol didn't overpower the drink too much.

Not for vegans, don't recommend. They have no option for vegans like literally NOTHING....I ended up having just fries which was absolutely unhealthy. I'm never coming here again.

Very pleasant hostesses but server was less than nice. Ordered a Caesar salad and added chicken. The salad that I was served had more wilted and brown lettuce than good and when I brought it to my servers attention he seemed annoyed. Additionally, the salad was about the size of a side salad and the base price is 6.99 and to add the chicken was another 5.99. My salad was replaced, but it was not worth the hassle and the price. The side salad at longhorns was twice the size of this full priced salad. I know summertime is your main revenue source however it shouldn't be at the cost of those patronizing your business.

I had no idea where to eat in this quaint little town, thanks to fellow yelpers I chose here. I was not disappointed in the least. Awesome food, cold cold beer, friendly service. Anytime I am up north in this area this is where I'll be coming to to eat. Highly recommend.

They have happy hour all day on Saturday's which is awesome! Wing specials, drink specials and happy hour- can't get much better than that! The food was amazing, service was great. Highly recommend this place!

I stopped by this place and sat at the bar. The staff was friendly and I literally wanted to order everything on the menu. I loved the Cobb Salad it was so fresh and delicious. I can't wait to come back w my family and friends next time I'm in town!

The atmosphere here is nautical themed. It doesn't smack you in the face with it, just enough to make an enjoyable feel to the place. There's not a ton of seats, just enough to be cosy.

I went a little crazy ordering, thinking I'd have leftovers. I ordered the Bacon Wrapped Sausage ($9). Then a half order of Honey Chipotle Wings ($8). Finally a half order of Ribs ($20). I started with the wings. They were excellent. Very tender and sweet and spicy. Not burning spicy, just smack you spicy. They were juicy and came right off the bone! The bacon wrapped sausage is a spicy andouille. Sadly it's just six small bites. That being said it is very good. Lol after the wings the slice in andouille was mild! The Ribs were spectacular. Fall off the bone tender and between the spices and bbq sauce on it it has amazing taste profile! It also came with coleslaw and bomba fries. The coleslaw was amazing, soooo good! The fries were good, but nothing special. I had no left overs.

The service was excellent. Very friendly. They check on you and treat you like a normal.

Overall an easy 6 star review. I mean 5, lol. Would I return? I don't know when, but heck yes I'll be back!

A great spot after a long bot ride in 4-6 ft waves ... awesome drinks attentive staff and great bar food . Adult Mac and cheese , tremendous burgers and fries and ribs wet or dry rub . The ribs were tender Nd the rub excellent . The burgers larger and juicy and adult Mac and cheese w bacon .. yum
Fridays they have perch dinners ..
A must stop in Frankfort

Went here over the holiday weekend like many others but I have to say it's the best pulled pork sandwich I've had on this trip and was worth the wait. It was fantastic and though other people's reviews complain about "too much sauce" in the pulled pork, that's the main reason I liked it. I didn't think it was too much sauce at all and it was excellent. The nachos were also really good. The older man checking tables in was really friendly and nice to us and it's probably really stressful for them when the town is packed with impatient people. I definitely will come here again in the future.

They have GREAT BBQ! The drinks were amazing. I ordered a Long Island Iced Tea. I usually hesitate because the bar usually messed it up. it was great!
The ribs and the pulled pork Quesadilla and the Mac and cheese...amazing! I would say this a must eat restaurant in Frankfort. what a find!
