Frank’s Tavern is gone, the sauce lives on with Fessler’s

Frank’s Tavern is gone. From time to time, we get calls about the Tavern. People will ask us whether it is still open, reminisce with us about all the good times they had at Frank’s Tavern and whether we’ll open another restaurant. I came across this article about the demolition of the Tavern. I thought I would share it.

It’s always sad when a restaurant closes, especially if it was beloved by so many people and had decades of repeat customers and great food. But all is not lost. Steve and Julie Fessler have bottled that great taste for all to enjoy.

Frank’s Tavern lives on with the great taste of Fessler’s Original Mustard Sauce. Yes, it is the same recipe that was used for over 80 years at the tavern. Yes, you can purchase it and re-create that same sweet and tangy flavor on your fish, salmon, fries etc. that was savored by so many.

Lastly, as to the question of opening another restaurant. I can flat out tell you, NO Thank You. But thanks for asking.

    My grand parent were the owners to Frank’s Tavern since 1945 to 1982 Marge (Evelyn) Nicholls. I was wondering if I could place an order for the sauces?
