Myself & my friend and 9month old baby were in for breakfast on Monday 9th of March. We were served by FLAVIO ... what can I say his service was amazing like in a 5 star restaurant. He was so polite and well mannered something you don’t get in many places nowadays. We will definitely be back.

Food was average, it was edible but not the best. I’d say 2.5/5*. However, that is not my reasoning for the low mark. I just find it utterly shocking and rude that staff members - both floor and kitchen staff may I add - will stand about having conversations with each other in what I can only assume is polish. Standing chit chatting whilst customers are needing served, completely dismissing them. Kitchen staff also have little to no respect, shouting and talking loudly in A foreign language to each other as well with not a care in the world. This just seems completely unprofessional and is extremely uncomfortable as for all we know their conversation could be about us. Management really must up their game and have a word about their staff members insult customers as well, as we unfortunately overheard a conversation about a customer by a certain staff member and who I assume was the manager as he was the only person not in the blue work shirt. It truly is a shame to see a restaurant what once was a lovely diner go downhill

Breakfast disappointing, full Scottish was half hot on plate & cold, sausage was tough & definitely not made fresh, staff were great , made another one right away, friend’s toast came like white warm limp bread, it’s a shame as we were only people there , so they were not rushed off their feet. Won’t be back, just another big chain letting things slip, so many great wee cafes in area with the personal touch & much better food.

On a Monday late afternoon we were well looked after by Lauren who was friendly, organised and efficient.We didn't think through our Meerkat meal orders well enough and possibly missed a trick with our side salad order - if 2 for 1 we should have ordered 2 as the dish and contents was very meagre.2 Teas came with mugs as requested and at the time of the main courses. However a mug of hot water (3/4 full) and a tea bag to dunk ourselves seems a little profiteering for the price of £2-49.The house burger was acceptable standard fare but we were very disappointed with the Tuscan sausage pizza. The picture on the menu indicated a fully topped offering.Instead we had to play "hunt the slice" - the sausage itself was very tasty but there were hardly pieces any on show.A shame as the welcome and service wasn't matched by the food and value - even with the Meerkat offer.

I will start by saying the food was absolutely gorgeous, delicious as F&B always is. What was truly exceptional though was the standard of service. I was served by a lovely young man named Curt (even more gorgeous than the food!) and he went above and beyond for us! I have never had a server as skilled as this young man. Not only was he faster than light, he was absolutely hilarious. And I mean hilarious. I'm laughing now even thinking about his spaghetti joke! Truly, it felt like we had a real host for the evening. Whatever this boy is being paid, it is not enough! Without a doubt the best F&B in Scotland and it's solely thanks to Curt. Yum yum!

Just a quick visit on my own, there was no wait, the server was efficient and quick, the place was clean and there was a pleasant atmosphere, good drinks selection and the usual American diner feel about place and its menu. I can only comment on the main meal that I had, a pasta dish with chicken and peperoni, in a spicy tomato sauce with some leaves on it, nice food, hot when it arrived, a little spicy but not too hot, enjoyed it and my brief visit.

A 2 rating because my husband said his breakfast was good. However mine was not. I had the veggie fry up...I asked for well done poached eggs, which in other F&B;'s has not caused a problem. My plate arrived with 2 lightly done poached eggs swimming in water. The breakfast went back & the same plate returned some time later with the same eggs having been microwaved. The fried tomato & mushrooms were cold. The hash browns were soggy having been sitting in the earlier water. The teaspoonful of avocado was fine as was the toast but generally I had been put off. Really disappointing. We paid & I left hungry.

I went here with my kids and mum and we wont be back. My mum and I had the Penne Arribiata, one of my kids had the Spaghetti Carbonara and the other had a Bacon Cheese Burger. Whilst the food tasted fine, it would have tasted much better if it had not been cold! I initially sent my pasta back because there was no olives on my pasta, as per the menu. When it came back it was cool, there was barely any heat in the food. I tried my kids food and theirs was the same. Throughout out whole visit not one person asked how the food was, and I got the impression this was intentional. It's shame, cause Frankie & Benny's used to be great for a good value, tasty bite to year, but it's really gone down hill based on this visit.

Went here for dinner and was disappointed. Shown to the table quick enough but then it became so slow it was unbelievable. The staff were polite enough and trying very hard but It was obvious that there wasn’t enough staff for how busy it was and the starters and main courses took forever. Food quality was OK but not the best . One of the group had Macaroni and Cheese and it was so dry I think it had been sitting under a hot plate for ages.

I had an awful experience at Frankie & Benny's at the Gyle yday. I am coeliac so I have to eat gluten free and asked for the gluten free menu. I chose items that were also available on the lunch deal (2 courses for £9.99) to be told that I would have to pay the FULL menu price as gluten free items weren't included in the lunch price even though it was the same thing?! This is absolutely disgusting. I ended up having several arguments with the staff as its appalling that I should be discriminated against because I have an illness and penalised for it by having to pay almost twice the price for things that were on the lunch deal anyway! Its ridiculous! The Manager accepted my point eventually or I would have walked out the restaurant on principal but it was a highly embarrassing situation. It's difficult enough eating out when coeliac without having to encounter further problems. Also the GF menu is offering GF pizza but when i queried it, i was told it was cooked in the same pizza oven as the regular pizza!!! How can that be safe when pizza is covered in flour? I thought F&Bs; was accredited by coeliac society so staff should be aware of the seriousness of cross contamination but maybe I'm mistaken about this. The food wasnt great either and we had to send my friends regular pasta back as it was served stone cold.

Was at Frankie and Bennys at the gyle today having been a couple of weeks ago as well with colleagues. Today I went with family and had a birthday voucher to use for a free meal. Last time the wait for food was totally unacceptable and the food wasn’t anything special. The loaded potato skins were anything but loaded but a small amount of cheese and bacon on halved potatoes. The main course then took an age to appear and the pizza oven was broken. Today I ordered a main course with my birthday voucher and my daughter and granddaughter ordered theirs. The starter arrived after about 30 mins I asked for my granddaughters at the same time . It was over an hour before our main courses came and the chicken parmigiana I had was so over cooked it was inedible. On complaining to the waitress she then told me the manager had taken it off my bill but considering it was free birthday voucher it wasn’t really helpful. At no point did any manager apologise for the time waited or the quality of the food. I’ve had lots of nice meals at frankie and bennys but don’t think that’s ever been the case at the gyle and I don’t think I would be willing to give it any more chances .

Stopped going to Frankie & Benny's after they started using old wooden boards for burgers and stopped their really good relish. Went there last night as it was just handy to go with my son. First of all we we asked for 2 Cokes and ended up with some poor tasting diet rubbish I then ordered a burger and my son kids chicken strips. My Burger arrived on what looked like a kids plate with about 15 small fries and what looked like an ok burger but still small. My son had the same small amount of fries and what looked like chicken strips cut in half to make them look more. We then decided to have a desert and my son ordered the kids brownie and I also ordered the adults brownie. Now the Brownie comes under sundaes on the menu with pictures of large glasses full of ice cream bit like a Knickerbocker glory. What arrived was placed on a small plate, both the same but my son only had one small tiny piece of brownie and I had 3 tiny pieces of brownie together with dribble of chocolate sauce and a tiny wee pot of ice cream, with a squirt of fake cream. I gave my son one of the pieces of brownie which made them exactly the same except mine cost nearly £6. I did hit them with the app which was kids eat free but the bill still came to £22. Even with a crappy McDonalds and a McFlurry it would have been more food than here. Poor portions to makeup for giving food away for free with apps. How is this company still going ?

As you’d expect from Frankie & Benny’s. Swift service and a standard menu. However the potato skins are more like mini-baked potatoes. They weren’t scooped out at all and basically half potatoes topped with bacon and cheese. Tasty, but not potato skins. Food hot and served quickly.

I have to say that this is the first our family have frequented a Frankie and Benny's restaurant and have to say. We will be going back again very soon. We were visiting Edinburgh for the weekend and my girls just wanted something quick so we thought about here and we weren't disappointed. The menu was well thought out and catered for all tastes. Sometimes my girls can be fussy but not on Friday night. We didn't book and were met by a lovely lady who showed us to a table. We ordered drinks and had a good read of the menu my youngest went for spag bol and garlic bread and chips with a fruit cocktail drink my eldest opted for pizza with her choice and strawberry milk, the wife went for the sirloin steak and chips and I went for the rack of bbq ribs. Every morsel was eaten and my eldest even stated that she had just had the best pizza ever bonus. We all really enjoyed our choices and all said we hope every one of the chains would be as good as here. The waitress we had was very helpful and made us feel very welcome and nothing was a problem. I wish I had asked her name but forgot. So all I can say was she had long brown hair and she had a foreign accent. 10 out of 10

Calzone pizza was fine though. Download the app, use the vouchers .. makes the prices for the ok food more realistic. ! Will not hurry back.

Only place open, so no choice. Reasonable food. Reasonable price. Excellent value children's menu.

Where to start? I requested diet coke, no ice - received ediet pepsi from a gun with ice. Daughter's chicken skewers were fine. Her main, gluten free burger and baked potato, was literally that. No salad, veg etc. She had asked for no mayo, this was taken to mean she didn't want salad either. Salad was brought on a separate plate. Had to ask twice for butter for the potato. I asked for medium sirloin, with green veg instead of chips. Steak was thick, probably rump, and medium rare. Veg was cold. Didn't bother complaining about mine after the fiasco with my daughter's. Won't be rushing back here.

Where do I start? Well to be fair I have eaten in other branches of Frankie and Benny's and have had a very good meal and experience but not in this one...... First we waited to be seated and were shown to a seat. The seat was broken and out of place, so I asked if we could get one without a broken seat. Well how dare I? That was the start. I had obviously offended the waiter as he went in the huff and we then got another waiter who was very nice and took our order. We didn't have to wait long on our starter which was fine nothing to write home about but was only doughballs and a salad. My friend asked the first waiter where the toilets were and he was still in the huff as he gave him an odd look and just pointed without speaking. For mains we both just had hotdog and fries the sausage in the roll was very tough and chewy and the fries had been fried so many times they were just shells of potato filled with oil, I didn't eat my hotdog or fries my friend did have a try at eating the hotdog but had to give up and he left the fries. We then sat for about 20/30 mins waiting for the waiter to come back as we had said at the start we would have dessert, but we gave up and put our coats on, but even then no one came near us. We then walked down to the till/bar area and again had to stand and wait for the waiter to come down, he asked how our meal was and I told him terrible. We told him why and he didn't say anything after this. No "sorry to hear that" or anything, he just went quiet and never spoke again. This restaurant failed on all fronts, no way would I go back and normally I would not leave a bad review unless on there own website but this was so bad I felt I had to.

We had a lovely time here today. The Christmas menu was great and the cocktails excellent. The gingerbread Bellini was amazing. We were served quickly and efficiently. Our waiter didn’t have to write anything down. We got our drinks and food in good time. I want to say thank you to John for the banter and extremely pleasant service. A joy to there.

We visited the restaurant on the night of the gyle light swich on so the place was extremely busy. I felt the staff handled the busy restaurant perfectly and service was brilliant. Food was exactly as we wanted, very tasty.

Had a lovely time in Frankies at The Gyle earlier this week. Was served by a rather charming young man by the name of Ross, who invited me to 'sit on his place'. He took my friend and I to a table.

The Gyle branch is near my work, so handy for both a quick lunch or an after work catch up. The menu is perfect for both and large enough so we don’t get bored. While the service is always good, the other day we had ‘Robbie’. He was brilliant, friendly but professional too - made sure our order was smoothly taken and ensured it was correct. The best part was that even though I’m sure he was very busy, he still found time to make us all feel like special guests, which is the added touch you don’t always get in busy chain restaurants. So well done Robbie...we’ll look out for every time!

It wasn’t the first time in frankies, but I have never ever been in Omni. And must admit, food was really good. Our server Urte was so friendly and helpful. Nice atmosphere. Worth to come back.

Me alojé en el Ibis al otro lado de la calle y no quería esperar hasta las 18:30 para su servicio de comida. F & be estaba bien, simple y sabroso. El anfitrión me sentó inmediatamente y tomó mi pedido de bebida. El servidor apareció poco después y estuvo atento durante todo el proceso. Tuve el filete de salmón a la parrilla y me sorprendió gratamente lo buenas y frescas que eran las verduras.

Mi compañero y yo fuimos a Frankie & Benny's a Gyle esta noche ya que nos quedamos en un hotel cercano. Nos llevaron rápidamente a una mesa, lo que fue una buena señal. Echamos un vistazo por el menú, tomamos nuestras decisiones y luego esperamos para tomar nuestro pedido de bebidas y comida. Para cualquiera que no haya estado en F & be's desde hace un tiempo, ahora tienen un menú con un lado rojo y otro verde para que sea más fácil para el personal de espera, supongo.

No complaints at this branch of one of our favourites. Typical F&B; layout, decor and menu and that is no bad thing. Good service and tasty food as always.

Where do I begin. Restaurant freezing - I mean so cold the waiting staff were wearing parkas! I kid you not. Service was appalling. After 50 minutes we had drinks and no food. Tables were sending back food and there were obvious arguments between waiting staff and kitchen staff. When we asked how long our food would be we got a shrug in place of an answer. Hungry grandchildren and fear that we would never actually get food we left and went to Pizza Express. A warm restaurant with excellent staff... and more importantly food! What a disgrace of a restaurant Toni Macaroni is. A word of apology and explanation would have helped but the staff could obviously not be bothered. To sum up my experience - disinterested staff, freezing cold (seriously you need to take a blanket!), a truly awful experience. My advice DO NOT GO HERE ... EVER! 1 star is too much but I can't give zero.

Having read some previous reviews I had to double check I'd picked the correct restaurant to review! We had great food; dough balls and American hot pizzas - which were nicely hot! Our waiter was friendly and attentive.
