01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
A thick patty made from 100 percent domestic beef rests inside a crisp, toasted bun. Burgers at Frankie Base make an immediate impression through their heft and the rich, savory depth of the beef from the very first bite. Lightly crisped on the inside while staying soft and airy on the outside, the bun holds together the juicy patty alongside fresh sliced tomato, onion, and lettuce in satisfying balance.
Beyond classics like the bacon egg burger and cheeseburger, the kitchen prepares options accented with flavorful house sauces. The spicy burger pairs a piquant meat sauce with cool, mellow coleslaw for an addictive interplay of heat and richness, while the mushroom burger features an aromatic, velvety mushroom sauce. Pairing these with a combo of crisp, skin-on french fries or a fresh salad rounds out a substantial lunch.
Hot dogs are another prominent feature of the menu. Options range from a nostalgic Showa-style hot dog and a keema curry dog topped with crisp onions to distinctly local creations like the Kyoto-style dog, which cradles a thick, dashi-rich rolled omelet. Beverage choices lean classic diner style, including root beer, guava nectar, and traditional Japanese café-style cream sodas.
The interior evokes 50s America, decorated with vintage motorcycle gear and curated retro accents, where the friendly owner provides an easygoing welcome. It makes a comfortable stop during a visit to Kurumazaki Shrine or a walk through the Arashiyama area. Please note that payment is cash only.
