Local Las Vegas restaurant goes from empty tables and leftovers to a line wrapped around the building. They are hardly able to acquire the amount of food for their customers, thanks to TikTok influencer and UFC fighter Keith Lee’s food review of Frankesons pizzeria.
On Jan. 3, pizzeria staff asked Lee to come and try the food at the restaurant due to his influence on TikTok with a following of 9.1 million. The email explained that the food was excellent, but didn’t have the appropriate marketing. That day, Lee went to Frankensons to taste the food and posted a review.
In Lee’s video, he stated that there wasn’t anyone in the restaurant. He talked to the owner Frank Steele and let him know that he is a food critic/reviewer and that he would be giving his honest opinion on the food, customer service and overall rating of Steele’s restaurant.
Lee had raving reviews about all of the items that Steele served and urged his followers to come and try it out for themselves. The family owned business was an overnight sensation, and the very next day, there was a line out the door with people coming far and wide.
Frankensons opened its doors on July 28 last year and has had a rough couple of months since their grand opening. The boom in new customers has made it difficult to keep up.
Michelle Moran, a Las Vegas resident, said, ” I have followed Keith for months now because he tries out all of this food here, and I get new suggestions for local restaurants, and I was blown away by everything that Frankensons had to offer.”
Summer Steele, an employee and owner’s daughter, said, “We’ve had people come from Canada to try out our food; thanks to Keith!”
People on social media have been raving about Frankensons. From posting various pictures and videos across different platforms, to trying out the food, everyone is giving their own reviews. Not only are people excited about the food, but they are expressing their gratitude to the owner and his excellent customer service.
“The food and service was out of this world. Everything was made from scratch, we literally watched him make everything. So we didn’t mind the wait. Frank even gave us free drinks for the wait and a two-liter for the road. Really friendly/stand-up guy.” – Michelle Moran, new customer at Frankensons
With the influx of new customers coming to the restaurant, employees and other family members have been working hard to ensure that they are able to accommodate and serve as many people as possible. Steele said, “Being that the line is endless, we cut the line off at 6:45 p.m. That way, our employees can go home at their scheduled times (10 p.m. or 11 p.m. for others).”
“That just shows the type of man Frank is, and he deserves every blessing he has coming his way,” said Moran.
Even though the original video was posted two weeks ago, the hype hasn’t slowed down, and there is still a line out the door of Frankensons daily.
