Lettuce Be Frank — Restaurant in La Plata

What A Treat! Let ME be frank... I love a good hot dog. I've been a fan of them since childhood and consider myself a bit of a hot dog snob. Typically, hot dog vendors prepare their franks in hot water or steam baths. To me, those methods don't really do the hot dog justice. It separates the rendered fat, so you're not getting it's full flavor potential. Lettuce Be Frank does a wonderful job of preparing their wieners. I don't know what method they use to grill them up but I hope they don't change anything, because they were perfect. Not only was it very perfectly prepared but it was nuzzled into bun that was seemingly purpose built for the task of carrying such a succulent sausage. These buns are soft, sweet and strong. Sturdy enough to deliver that delicious dog and whatever whimsical blend of toppings that you have a taste for. Definitely not a weak wiener caddy that will fall apart at the first sign of some moisture from sauerkraut, chili, cheese sauce, mustard, ketchup or what have you. I'm so sorry that I waited so long to try Lettuce Be Frank (LBF). IMO... LBF has the best hot dog offering in town. I can't wait to try some of the other menu items. The salads and wraps look so fresh and crisp. I will...

I tried to get a hot dog from this place but no one wanted to provide any service. I rode about 30 minutes out of my way. Parked and went inside with every intention of getting a good dog. I stood at the window as 3 people within my view behind the counter were busy moving things around and using the microwave. A seemingly nice lady looked up and said "would you like to order something?" I said "yes" and wondered why else would I be standing here???? She never said another word. Just continued with the busy work. The other two people were obviously avoiding any eye contact with me. I waited another 10 minutes and decided I'd had enough of being ignored and left. Maybe I'll try again when I'm desperately seeking a hot dog in Charles County but for now, it's a "no" for me. Customer service determines where I spend my money and this place gets nothing. Train your staff better. Customers pay their wages. We should be treated better. Now I'm waiting for my order at...

Worst experience this visit. This was my first time trying the Greek salad with chicken. First, it took way too long especially after the young lady said “7 minutes.” Then a guy handed me the bag so I decided to eat in my car. The salad looked beautiful but no chicken. Glad I checked. I walked back in for the same lady to say “oh, no chicken? Yeah there was a mix up!” So she then handed me a container of chicken and I asked if it’s usually served this way so she then asked “do you want me to put it in the salad?” She then put it inside but when I got to the car, there was far less chicken than it was in the container she was about to give to me. A $14 salad should be better than this was and definitely the...
