About
Eatery by Frank's, located in Shop 7 of the Ramada Hotel on Hawthorne Drive in Frankton, has carved out a solid reputation as one of Queenstown's reliable dining spots. The restaurant is known for its approachable menu that leans into comfort food with generous portions and honest flavours — the kind of place where locals actually eat rather than just tourists passing through. With a 4.3-star rating across nearly 640 reviews, it's clearly doing something right, whether that's consistent execution or genuine hospitality.
Expect a casual, unpretentious atmosphere that suits families, couples, and solo diners equally well. The service tends to be friendly and attentive without feeling stiff, and the pace is relaxed enough that you won't feel rushed. Most meals take around 45 minutes to an hour, making it ideal if you're not in a hurry. The Frankton location — just a short drive from central Queenstown — means it's quieter than CBD restaurants but still convenient. It's the kind of spot where you can trust the kitchen to deliver without drama, which matters when you're hungry after a day of exploring.
Eatery by Frank's fits naturally into a Queenstown itinerary as a dependable lunch or dinner option between activities like jet boating on Lake Wakatipu or hiking in the surrounding hills. It's especially useful if you're staying near the airport or heading to adventure tourism operators in the area. There's no real seasonal limitation — it operates year-round and handles both shoulder season calm and peak summer crowds reasonably well. If you're looking for fine dining, look elsewhere; if you want straightforward, satisfying food in a no-fuss environment, this delivers.
