Editor’s Note: Frankie’s Patriot BBQ is permanently closed.

In Florida, we usually associate themed restaurants with tourist attractions, but this patriotic restaurant in Clearwater is completely different. In fact, the only thing cheesy in this unique theme restaurant is the macaroni.

Frankie's Patriot BBQ is located at 6250 Ulmerton Road, Clearwater, FL 33760.

The restaurant was named in loving memory of the owner's son, Corporal Frank R. Gross, who was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2011. When you walk in, you will immediately realize this isn't your ordinary barbecue restaurant. Almost every inch of the eatery is covered with military memorabilia and photographs.

The restaurant was started by owner Craig Gross as a way to honor his son and other veterans and an almost therapeutic way to keep busy after losing his son.
