Frank's Restaurant

Don't go to Frank's if you have special needs. I have a gluten allergy and received the worst treatment I have ever received since my diagnosis.

We were actually thrown out of Frank's (Maynard Street) for supposedly not telling the server I was allergic to the gluten in the bread they placed on top of my omelet. When, in fact, my boyfriend explicitly said, "Can you put the toast on a different plate because she's allergic and can get really sick even if the bread is just touching anything." Pretty clear, huh?

Anyway, Pete (the cook/owner) badgered us pretty heavily about the issue and was raising his voice. We just stood our ground saying that we had told the waiter. Eventually Pete shoved my boyfriend (surprisingly hard for an old man) and told us we weren't worth the trouble and to get out.

Not terribly equitable treatment to those of us with special eating needs. Just wanted to give a heads up. Never fear though, there's tons of other great (much better actually) places to have an omelet in Ann Arbor- I suggest Bell's or the Northside where they're always very nice.
