Frankie and Benny's in Antrim

Went to Frankies recently before a show in Belfast. Advised the server what time we had to leave for and he couldn’t have been more helpful. The service was quick as was the food which suited us. Food was delicious and warm. Hadn’t been in since they moved, more of a modern feel to the place now. We will be back.

Went here for dinner a few nights ago and I was very happy with the experience. It was the first time the family and I had been and I was impressed with how good the food and service were. It was very also very reasonably priced. Will definitely be back!

For a long time Frankie and Benny’s was the go to restaurant in Victoria Square. The food and drink were dependably delicious and the staff were very friendly and polite. Going back there to its new location was therefore something I looked forward to. What a disappointment! The food was bland and tasteless, the so called “large” glass of wine I ordered was tiny, the main course was served before we had finished our starter and when the waitress handed me the bill she stood back waiting to see if I would add a tip to it (against my better judgement I did tip her but in retrospect I shouldn’t have). I won’t be back.

Menu was limited in my view for lunch options. No wraps or soups/lighter options at the weekend apparently. Staff server lady was very pleasant. Food just ok, nothing special & nothing I can't make in the house. Restaurant was clean & nicely decorated. We won't be back however due to menu options & prices which were not value nor money.

Chips were stone cold. And that was the best bit. A £28 platter consisting of 4 unbelievably over-cooked chicken goujons, 2 sauceless and dry wings and a mound of cold freezer chips, along side a portion of flavourless wet ribs. And what on the menu was described as “a juicy steak skewer” but in reality was four rabbit dropping sized nuggets of simultaneously over salted yet tasteless shoe leather. Other than a thimbleful of admittedly nice coleslaw, no garnish. None of the allegedly famous bbq beans. £28. Going to repeat that - £28 My wiiiiife’s chicken burger was “ok”, but again with the now familiar portion of cold freezer chips accompaniment. One son’s burger was burned and the other son’s £15 carbonara was a small yellow puddle in the bottom of a bowl. We got them a McDonald’s on the way home. Genuinely I wouldn’t have put it in front of the kids if I’d made it on a lazy oven chips Sunday. Never mind paying £110 for it. Mentioned to the manager when he asked was our meal ok - and without us asking he gave us a £40 “managers discount” - so £70 for four diabolically bad meals rather than £110. He was very polite. Even asked “was £40 off enough” - but behind his strained smile was a look of stoic resignation. I get the feeling that “managers discount” button on the till is well used. On the drive home, very unusually, we all agreed with each other. Worst meal ever. Well done Frankie. Well done Benny. You made us laugh together. Unfortunately it was at you.

Food was fantastic and quick, the chefs in the kitchen did a great job! LET DOWN was the service towards the end. During service our waiter (male, glasses & beard) was very polite, chatty and welcoming. When it came to paying I didn’t leave a tip, I made the payment and said thank you, he took my receipt and basically slammed it on the table and walked off with out saying anything which I thought was VERY rude and has put me off coming back here again. Just goes to show his politeness was only for a tip and when he didn’t receive that the true colours came out. I think it’s a customers choice to choose to pay a tip or not and it should be respected. Top tip to the waiter - please remember you ARE paid an hourly rate! Not every one doing their jobs gets a tip!

We arrived tonight and I could see the staff where under prsssure ! Hats off to them , smiles all round and did not stop ! I love the work ethic !

The food standard has really improved and I loved trying the new menu ! Will definitely be back again to try more !

I will always pop in when shopping the lunch value is great and the staff are so lovelh I cannot wait to try the new summer dishes,

I always say brands like this is what it is ! But the difference her is the staff ! They are fantastic and are great

Ate in F&B; Victoria square and the food was brilliant! Well priced and didn't have to wait too long for the table or the food. Staff where polite and couldn't do enough for us. The steaks are on point! Will 100% be back next time I'm in Belfast.

Overpriced and small portions. Food was reasonably good though, except anything green was wilted. Service very helpful and friendly.

We called in here to get dinner after a days shopping. Actually, I did no shopping. The girls did. However, thats not the review. We called in and the place was busy, but luckily we got a booth relatively quickly as another family were vacating the space. We were greeted warmly and seated with drinks orders in quickly. While we chatted about what good and what was purchased, we savoured the atmosphere, which was surprisingly warm and mellow on such a wet Saturday.

Poor. Overpriced, food lukewarm, over cooked and bland service ok won’t be back to Frankie and Bennys

Normally get pizza here but tried the mac and cheese with bacon and its the best ive had. Brownies very good as well. Staff were very nice.

Returned to this Roof Top location in Belfast. Met at Door by member of Staff who showed us to our Table with Menu and welcoming conversation. Drinks order was taken followed shortly after by another lovely Staff member who took our order. We had Cheesy Garlic Bread followed by Caesar Salad and ultimate Mac and Cheese.Service and food quality was EXCELLENT with Staff being very attentive and helpful. Could not fault this dining experience. A great location for families with lots of spacious seating and a very wide choice of food. Price was not outrageous and would be comparable to the excellent Food quality and quantity.

Late lunch. Chicken and advocado salad. Very delicious. Quick to be seated at our table. Drink sevice soon after we sat down. Our order was placed very quick service. Kitchen to the left of our seats so observedour meal being prepared. Food was hot (chicken)

My wife and I got a Groupon voucher for this place so we thought we would give it a try, despite the many negative reviews we`d read. And glad we did. I liked the laid back American feel to the place. The servers were friendly and attentive and we got our drink and food orders in very quickly. I had the BBQ hot wings as a starter followed by the chicken and rib combo. My wife had the same and we were both more than happy with the quality of the food we received. all warm, flavoursome and nice.

While staying in Belfast we decided to visit F&B; because we had a 2 for 1 meal voucher. As it happens, we went twice during the time we were there!

Looks like a nice place to eat, unfortunately that is all that can be said on the positive side for here. We had our one year old with us and from the moment we entered it seemed we were not welcome. The hostess was rude, we were told before we were even greeted that we couldn’t bring the buggy to the table with us, not a problem but shouldn’t be the first thing said to a customer and that should have warned me of what was to come. Service was slow and food was only mediocre at best. No smile from staff no please or thank you when paying. I wouldn’t visit again but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t. Maybe we caught them on an off day.

We were served by Sharon and we were made very welcome & good service.

Had a wonderful family meal here food is so tasty big portions I even struggled with the desert but because it was so nice there's no way I was leaving it.Service was fast and staff were all very good would recommend for any kind of meal great kids menu to.

Called in late for a quick meal.

My boyfriend and I were flicking through Groupon and noticed that you could get a two course meal for two people for £19.99 at Frankie and Benny's which we thought we would treat ourselves to on a Monday afternoon as we were both off work.

My wife and I and our two children visited.

This was my first visit. A last minute decision as the kids were hungry and very moody. Quite busy but we were seated quickly and our server sharon was excellent in dealing with our kids. Their moods changed dramatically with her interaction. And they were the best chicken nuggets they have had apparently. All in all a very enjoyable experience!

Service and quality of food have severely declined. F&B; used to be great food, great service and brilliant atmosphere. I should have took note on how quiet the restaurant was. You will get a better meal at a greasy spoon.

Food and service poor thought I would try again but just the same disappointing mess. Sorry but will not be back

Basic menu but the food here is amazing for what it is - Burgers, pasta and pizzas. Open late also!!

I’m not sure why but they seem to have changed their menu to a much more basic one which is extremely disappointing. I prefer independent restaurants to chains as it is but often chains can still be good. This was not one of those occasions! Very basic food, plain, boring and badly presented. The only saving grace was the nice staff. Won’t be coming again!

Friendly service,food was good, reasonable price deffinetly recommend it as a midle class restaurant .

Really enjoyed our food here, good from start to finish, Staff was extremely friendly, will be back, better still kids cleaned their plates.

Reservamos una mesa para 8 personas. Llegamos allí a las 8 de 30. 15 dijeron tiene que teníamos un 12 y 10 niñas años tuve que salir a las 9 de la tarde, así que tenía 45 minutos para comer nuestra comida ha ocurrido nunca que todos los años nos hemos ido a fb los niños no estaban contentos. A debería decir cuando los niños tienen que ser reserva de 9

I took my daughter & god daughter out for lunch as it was my goddaughters birthday. Well I was very pleased. The waitress who greeted us at arrival was pleasant & friendly & the 2 girls got colouring pencils & pictures as soon as we walked in. Kids menu was Fab & a bigger option for my daughter who is 8. I went for the skinny pizza which is from their feel good range. It was yummy. Then our waitress came out singing with a candle in the cake for my goddaughters birthday (which I had asked beforehand) The only thing I can be slightly critical about is the food wasn't as hot as I would have preferred. But I will be back!!!

It's restaurant on motorway going back to Dublin from Belfast food was ok kids manu was very bad quality of food was not at all good in kids menu rest was so so

My husband and I went in here for a late lunch on Monday afternoon, it was around 3.30pm and there were only 3 or 4 other tables occupied. After being promptly seated our waitress came and took our meal order, our starters were with us within 10 minutes and we decided to share them so put the plates between us on the table. We were quite happy just chatting and eating, when the waitress came back over to take the plates and said it's ok we can just put what's left with your mains. To me the point of a starter is to eat it before the mains, so I said it's fine we'll just finish it now and as we picked up what was left she whisked the plates away.

Visitamos aquí para el desayuno con mi familia. El personal era genial, muy amable y servicial. Pedí las tortitas con frutas y para ser honesto me quedé decepcionado. La placa parecía en nada al de la foto en el menú. Los panqueques también eran un poco seca y podría haber sufrido un poco de salsa. No pensaré volver aquí pronto.

Ah otra hamburguesa, pero esta vez para el desayuno.

Service was slow at first but improved,. Staff were very Welcoming and pleasant. Food was good. Cosy type of Place Would go again

Extremely bland food & the service wasn’t much better. Would definitely not recommend. Food was so bland everything tasted the same. Service was rubbish!

Restaurant is situated on Victoria Street. Offer local meals and drinks. Very good fish meals, but italian pasta too. Nice restaurant and clever attendance.

We went in on a Saturday evening, expecting to have a bit of a wait. We were seated straightaway and service was friendly and quick. A good experience.

Fuimos a pasar la noche en familia con mi esposa y niños han crecido. . . . Nos sentamos rápidamente. . Tiempo dado a elegir. lo que queríamos. La comida era muy sabrosa y agradable. . La camarera que nos servía era fantástico. . Una ventaja. el restaurante. Sin duda volveremos y recomiendo que lo prueben.

I was not happy with the meal took a long time for it to come out and the kids were board waiting so they were playing up

Nice restaurant with lots of italian choice. Very good garlic pizza for starter and great goat salad very tasty. Staff is very friendly and decoration is very nice.

Excellent, attentive staff and the food is fine for this type of chain. Prices are what you would expect to pay.

Foi um almoço daqueles que a gente pensa “por que eu vim aqui???” O preço é ok, de fato, para um shopping. Mas não adianta muita coisa pois o que vale no final sempre é o sabor. Pedi um risotto de camarão com ervilha e couve flor, custou mais ou menos 13,00 euros. O camarão estava borrachudo e sem graça, assim como o arroz. Tem uma opção q vc escolhe um prato inicial, principal e sobremesa q custa bem mais barato, em torno de 14,00 euros... estava com amigos e pude provar algumas coisas, as entradas estavam bem ok. Fora a atendente que falava muito rápido, bem apressada querendo fazer o pedido. Incluindo essas coisas e outras, não voltaria neste restaurante.

I had a lovely set of Spicy Wings and Fries there with a desert to finish. Very Tasty and Reasonably Priced too.

Restaurant italien classique sans trop d’intérêt. Pizza calzone avec des pâtes à l’intérieur. Plutôt étrange.

We took our little one in for some food and the service was fantastic. The guy on front of house was brilliant. I didn't get his name but he was scottish. Him and the waiting staff were a credit to the company. The food was pretty good aswell, especially the wings!

Not been to one of these restaurants before wasn’t sure what to expect. Shown to a booth in the window, drinks and food were excellent and was a nice atmosphere. Would happily return

I arrived at the restaurant today on my own, never having been here before..I was greeted by a lovely gentleman who took me to a table and took my drinks order and gave me a menu. In a short space of time my order was taken by a very friendly waitress and my drink arrived promptly. My burger was perfect... I ordered the one with cheese. My burger came with chips but I upgraded to sweet potato fries. To be honest, the sweet potato fries could have been warmer but they were very tasty. Will def be back as really enjoyed the whole experience!

Went here with the wife and daughter for an evening meal midweek hoping it wouldn’t be busy, when we went in there were about 4 tables occupied with about 10 people eating so we thought great quick service and good food . Didn’t happen, service was very slow with us waiting 15 mins to order our drinks and receive menus, there were two staff on the floor, one showed us to our table then disappeared the other was what I presume was the manager who was running about serving food taking orders bringing drinks cleaning tables and setting tables poor man looked exhausted . We ordered our drink and food at the same time . I ordered the large combo which was breast of chicken , small sirloin steak and bbq ribs it came with an onion ring skinny chips and some mushrooms plus a few bbq chicken wings , the steak was cooked well but everything else in the plate was lukewarm “ like it had been sitting waiting on the steak to cook “. My wife got the ribs and said the same that it was cold my daughter got spaghetti which she said was ok , she ate half of it which wasn’t like her cause she loves spaghetti . Did enjoy the deserts though but won’t be back . Overall verdict , understaffed with average food .

Visited the Frankie and Bennys at Boucher Belfast.

Went for breakfast with my wife. A new menu had just been introduced. Pancakes and waffles were rock hard and chewy. The server was fantastic though, just a pity the food didn't live up to the same standard.

Food was fantastic,and the staff were really helpful, will definitely be back , had one of the pizzas, best pizza ever!!

Went for a family meal i had to complain as the food was cold even the kids food was cold it all had to be sent back. I will not be back

Went to f&bs; on a Sunday afternoon in late September with my two adult daughters

I've tried this place 3 times as I kept thinking I was getting it wrong as other people rated it so highly but my opinion is low

Fuimos con mi esposa una hija una semana o mediados de la hora del almuerzo. No ocupados, pero nos reservamos de todos modos. En platos de pasta estaban frías. llegada. Envió sin ningún problema. Una superficial. Obviamente trajo o preparada en granel en el lugar. Buen personal y bill llegó rápidamente que era s de socorro.

Fuimos allí para comer con un amigo. El personal era amable, la comida era lento y para ser honestos, sabía un poco demasiado procesados para mí. Pedimos un par de botellas de vino que era normal. No creo que estaría demasiado ganas de volver aquí, hay muchos lugares bonitos en la zona.

La comida es buenísima y el personal amable, a los niños les encanta aquí también un gran servicio, una gran variedad de comidas y platos para satisfacer a toda la familia.

Recientemente, en una visita a Manchester, visitamos en el Benny Frankie y Printworks. Teníamos el menú del almuerzo que parecía variado y bueno. El servicio tardó años y nos atendió una mascar chicle chica apenas letrados que no parecen saber o importarle el menú. Cuando la comida llegó fue recocido y frío. Pagamos y nos fuimos. Muy decepcionante.

Si quieres ir a una hamburguesa deliciosa comida bennys frankie y el personal es genial road boucher son muy bonitas, y era rápido y aparcamiento fácil a un cruce de las tiendas.

Frankie and Bennies has now closed in Ballymena and it's no wonder. The food was really poor, service non existent and the restaurant was always old. For this being a chain of restraints throughout the UK I find it difficult to comprehend how a manager could not see the how poorly the restaurant was doing. Have found other Frankie and Bennie restaurants similar. Go somewhere else there all very poor.

We went there for a meal out and the food was just ok my husband had spaghetti bologne and I had carabona and the dishes had water in the bottom and was very bland didn't like it won't be back

Fuimos en una noche con mi marido, la comida sabrosa y no tuve que esperar mucho para que salga. Sin duda volvería de nuevo.

Been a few times with friends and family never ever fails to be really good , standard menus no surprises , great all round.

Food terrible, cold, soggy pizza Starter platter overpriced with disgusting liquid cheese out of a bottle. Long wait Generally overpriced and bad food. Won't be back

Called in here for an American style brekky of pancakes & bacon. Good portions with friendly attentive staff

F & B's Boucher Road. Great restaurant, clean and tidy. Staff were brilliant with the kids (big +). The food didn't take long to arrive and was delicious. Have been back several times and enjoyed it every time.

Lsrge selection on the menu with great deals! Using the app too you get great savings! Kids love it also weve been many times now and our favourite is boucher rd belfast n.ireland

Food not good but ediable, but it's overpriced for quality of food as it's on a par with supermacs. Don't think we will be returning

Lovely atmosphere, good food, good service.....really like the decor, very like an American diner. Try it I'm sure you will love it!

Lovely restaurant, clean interior and very friendly waiting staff. The meal was well presented with minimum waiting time. Highly recommend and will visit again.

Frankie and Benny's is our Favourite place to eat as a family. Great Food, Great Staff, Great Venues and very reasonably priced.

Poor quality food, overpriced and slow service. Staff are ro it's and can't get orders right Kept going back in the hope it was just a "bad night" bit no. Won't be back!

The typical American diner, stalls, music and Black and white photos... Both breakfast and lunch menu was presented to us at 11-30 which was perfect.Food well presented and tasted fine.Staff were friendly and accommodating.Bright and Cheerful.

Went for lunch was excellent food the service was fabulous a thoroughly great experience we will be back superb

Visited this place in the Victoria centre in Belfast nice enough surroundings inside food wasn't to bad although I found it overall expensive staff were pleasant but it will be a while before I'm back again if ever

This was our 3rd visit to Frankie and Bennys, and while the food is always good as is the service the one complaint I would have is the music far to loud to a point where u can hardly hear even from your own table.

Loved it food was delicious and the service was first class, beautiful surroundings too. Would definitely go back.

Was away on holiday and decided to get a meal here with family.Great time eating lovely meal child well catered for with colouring in book etc and staff great well worth a visit.

Our favourite restaurant. Always good food and friendly service. Menu is varied enough to suit everyone. Regular offers help save a few pounds as well. My particular favourite is the Boston 7 pizza while my daughter always goes for the bbq ribs.Can't recommend this place enough!!!

Went for a birthday party and the kids meals are reasonable but they let me order jugs of juice and didn't mention the kids got a free drink with their meal. Service good but other than pizza I think everything else is average.

Me and my fiancé visited here with another couple and not only did I get one hair wrapped round my chicken wing, but there was another hair wrapped round the other chicken wing! It completely put me right off and also the food wasn't that great or as nice as expected! Me and my partner have not been back here and we don't intend to be as it was not nice at all!

My wife and i called into F&B in victoria squae Belfast for something to eat while shopping. It was late afternoon 3pm. The resturant was fairly quiet obviously. But the staff were as enthusiactic as if it had been full.The food was great with free second drinks. All around a good experience.

Stuck for somewhere else to go we ended up in Frankie and Benny's. Pretty good atmosphere, lots of teenagers, good music and reasonably good service (just ordered a main meal and waited about 20mins on it) problem was the prices. 1 x lasagne + chips, 1 x very small steak + chips and 2 drinks each cost approx £46, don't think I'll be back.

Called in when out shopping one evening and chose to eat here at random. It turned out to be a good decision. Staff were friendly, polite and attentive. There was a good choice on the menu but we opted for the special of a starter and a side. Portions were a good size and were served quickly. The atmosphere was relaxed and the old photos on the walls gave the impression of a local restaurant. I left well fed and happy.

I went into Frankie and Benny's for the first time yesterday after arriving in Belfast from overseas. I was going to meet a friend and see a film so this seemed convenient. I was hesitant at first but the staff were very welcoming and even with loud background music it was convenient and the menu seemed quite reasonable. I ordered a Carbonnara and a coffee and was pressed to also order a side of garlic bread by the waitress, it was my mistake to not ask the price of the latter. I was disgusted with the bill as there was a disparity between the bill and the quality of the food served. I have to state that the staff were very nice indeed. I won't be going back in a hurry!

Wanted something quick to eat after a long hard day. Had initially considered Pizza Hut in the centre, however I decided to leave after being given an extremely frosty and couldn't care less welcome from the male server who was on duty. He looked like he didn't want to be there. So headed for F&B's. Great enthusiastic welcome, with swift service. Place was really busy. Ordered the 2 course for £11.95. Food arrived swiftly, piping hot and tasted great. So out of ten, definitely 10/10 for F&B's. Pizza Hut, 1/10 and that is being generous.

Went to frank and Benny's belfast for something to eat before concert in waterfront.we had loaded skins for starters between us came out fairly quickly had a little bit of a wait for mains,but it was well worth the wait I had chicken and ribs it was really tasty my wife went for chicken skewers they had three pieces of chicken on them my wife said another piece of chicken would have been perfect all and all a very nice tea will be back.

We had a nice family meal here and it was good value. Service was pretty good although we did have to ask for an activity pack for the kids twice, and when our 9 year old asked for the free apples that are mentioned on the kids menu, the server looked like he had never heard of it before, and we didn't get the apple!! The atmosphere was buzzing and the food was fine...not excellent, but not bad either...

I have been to Frankie and Bennys many times and have never been disappointed. The staff are friendly and the service is always good. I usually go before 5pm and order from the lunch menu which is great value at £9.25 for 3 courses and always lovely.

Staff great and food is top class, if u want a breather between courses just ask and they serve to suit you. Music is good and nice in the background.

when we went in a pleasant man welcomed us and we thought it would be the usual good service but the staff were very slow. I had to go up and ask them to hurry up as they were so slow, also i aked for two cubes of ice in a couple of my drinks and ended up with a load of ice.It put my friend and i in bad form and we will not be back for the forseeable future.

We have eaten in Frankie and Benny's a few times both local and on the mainland and would say that our experience of this restaurant didn't live up to our expectations. We went in for breakfast just after Christmas and were very disappointed with the food. One of the breakfasts was served with cold sausages and had to be returned and the eggs Benedict had a beautiful hollandaise sauce that had congealed on the egg and plate due to the fact that the slice of ham had just been removed from the fridge and was cooling the sauce and congealing it. Hot crumpet, hot egg, warm hollandaise sauce, stone cold ham???Not very impressive.
