My first ever visit to Frankie & Bennys last night and couldn’t have had a nicer waiter!! His name was John Paul & what a wee gem, such a genuine guy and went that extra mile to make our night perfect. He should be running the place as his energy is contagious, forget about the food......I’d go again just to see John Paul

Fantastic birthday meal, regulars here and always the same customer service and food. The only F & Bs we visit. John Paul, Jenny and Gary gave us a fantastic customer experience as always. Service with a smile and nothing is too much hassle. John Paul is always so lovely when we visit and such a gent, he looks after everyone in the same way. Absolute gem

We have been twice this week,John Paul was his usual, bright and bubbly self. Fantastic service as always, there was a group of kids in for a birthday, it was lovely to watch how amazing he was with them, making it a fun visit.. his whole attitude to the job and customers is fantastic and some people could learn from that. John Paul deserves the recognition for his continuous amazing customer service.

We should have turned around when I noticed how filthy the windows were. They hadn't been touched in forever. My Grilled Chicken Salad with "some" bacon and honey mustard dressing was scant and very few ingredients. My Dad's pasta entree was basically some ziti macaroni with a dab of pesto flavor and under-cooked....subsequently sent back to the kitchen. The staff was very friendly but absolutely no reason to "eat" here. A waste of money.

We came in for lunch and were sat at a table by a nice young gent. That was about as good as it was going to get. We chose from the lunch time menu and should have known better. Starters were cold and looked awful. The mains came and my partners burger looked like something from a tin and was freezing. The chips that came with the meal had obviously been sitting for a while.I really don't know how they get away with what they serve and the prices they charge. Wont be back.

It's a chain restaurant, this one is no better or worse than others I've visited. I've eaten at 3 of them. They have an annoying habit of spraying the tables to clean them right next to you and the last 2 times I've eaten the spray has splashed on to me, but I didn't have my food yet so I didn't say anything.

Only came here as we were so hungry and another food chain in the retail park was extremely busy. My partner and I shared a garlic bread starter which I asked for plain, no cheese. It came with cheese. Nevermind, we were starving. It wasn't even cooked long enough. My partner then had cheeseburger with extra bacon and cheese on the fries. When it came it looked pathetic, not worth the £2 extra. I had meatball pasta, luke warm and the sauce was something you give to a 4 year old and gave me an upset stomach. This small meal including 2 soft drinks came to over £35! Utter rip off. Won't be back, disgusting.

Whilst visiting frankie's tonight with my partner , we decided to go as hadn't been in a while and to be honest the service wasn't that bad or the food ! However my main gripe was with deputy manager ally who at best was strange and my query over the bill ! We took the 2 courses for £9.95 , we initially queried 2 drinks the same at different prices but when added up they had stuck vat on the bill even though I couldn't find anywhere on menu small print included that this was the case ! I work in an industry where figures are quoted vat free and the resteraunt chain wasn't one that I thought could do this without stipulating as dealing with the public and vat should be included ! Was told by " ally " complain to head office were a big company and were still in business so " it must be allowed " I have a copy of the menu so we'll see what Hmrc have to say in the morning !

My husband and I visited this evening, I ordered from the main menu and my husband the special deals menu as he had two courses. My husbands potato skins weren't charred/burnt on the edges, I would have sent them back but he didn't want a fuss.I had New York chicken, which cost almost £14. Extremely expensive for a dry chicken breast, with luke warm fries, a small piece of corn on the cob and some coleslaw. They forgot my onion rings, and when I queried it hey brought me two in a big bowl, which looked absolutely ridiculous. For £14 I expected more, a larger portion and a better presentation. For the cost of the onions rings wouldn't you think they would give you two miserable looking onion rings! I've told my husband I will never go back to F&B Falkirk, we've been before and have always been disappointed by the Falkirk one. F&B is not high end food, you know that when you go in but I know other stores produce a better offer, sadly this has really put me off going to any again. I didn't bother to complain during the visit as I wasn't interested in a new meal, however I don't want anyone else to have a poor experience where you leave feeling a bit robbed!

First thing i will say is food was good but omg the service was atrocious. Got our menus then waited 15 mins to get order taken by an older woman who obviously has chosen the wrong career path.Ate our food which was good but after finishing waited 10 mins before i had to go find another waitress to take our plates away and she was very apologetic. We were going to have a sweet but decided against it . Such a shame one person can spoil a place but id never ever go back as there are many places where you are made to feel welcome with equally as good food.

One of my children got the brownie sundae and it had 1 small scoop of ice cream and the buttons for the other sundae had melted previously and where just a small clump of white chocolate. We have been loads of times before and the service and food has been great but this time has put us off completely and we will not be back.

I've been here with my family a few times as it's located right next to loads of shops and the main cinema so it gets top marks for location. Unfortunately it's a bit downhill from there. The service is patchy with orders being taken and forgotten or taken wrongly. The staff are generally pleasant although they are in short supply when the restaurant is busy. A few more waiters would not go wrong. The food is nice enough but not so much that i would recommend any one dish. I've been a few times with my grandchildren and they have enjoyed the ice-cream factory which i must say looks good fun if your ten years old.To summarise then, okey for a quick bite if your out shopping or before you go to the movies but not a place i would choose to dine if i was looking for a nice meal.

Absolutely disgraceful. We should have learned from previous visits here but we thought maybe it was just us. I ordered a bacon cheese burger and my fiancé had a pizza. Her pizza seemed ok, but my burger was beyond disgusting. The bacon looked like it had been fried earlier that day, or even the day before and left under lamps for hours. It was little gnarled charred bits of meat. The bun was solid and my fries were cold. I was not going to say anything and just pay and leave but then I noticed a long hair woven under the burger meat. At which point We had to complain. The staff acted as if it was us to blame and never even offered an apology. They discounted my burger but still charged for everything else. Even although my fiancé didn't eat her pizza as she was put off by me finding hair. Absolute joke. Avoid avoid

I used to visit F&B's Falkirk on a regular(ish) basis but the last few times I have been the food quality has really went downhill. Food is usually just warm, never hot. Also has lost taste any sort of redeeming features. I know this probably wont just be the Falkirk restaurant as I am sure they will have the same menu across the network.However on the up side the staff are always great and work hard, the restaurant is always very clean as well!

We had a very unfortunate experience on a previous visit to this restaurant..after placing our order, when it was ready, we saw it lying out on the counter for 12 minutes before a waiter eventually brought it to our table...the food was cold, and after sending it back, we were presented with something that had been reheated and was totally inedible. After complaining to the manager, we were offered a voucher for another meal, to give them a chance to redeem themselves.What a totally different experience on our next visit! The staff were attentive, the food was excellent (and hot!) and the manager served some of our dishes himself! We were treated like VIPs! I like Frankie and Benny's, it has a nice vibe about it and the music is excellent, but it can be a hit or a miss where the food is concerned. The staff in Falkirk are great though and stay cheerful after working ridiculously long hours. I hope they can keep up the standards, but we will definitely be back to find out. Prices are reasonable, but soft drinks are quite expensive. I think they should adopt the American idea of "free refills", like Pizza Hut do.

My wife, daughter and I met for lunch here. The meeting staff were friendly and quickly showed us to our table. The menu followed soon after. We chose our meals, but were warned that, as a new ordering system had just been put into use, our meal maybe delayed as the staff were still not used to it. In actuality, the meal arrived quite quickly and were delicious. The price of the food was very reasonable.

My husband and I decided to grab some dinner at Frankie & Bennys for a change of scenery from the places we would usually go. We haven't been in a while as we felt the last few times that the food was rather pricey, however we were pleasantly surprised when we were given a lunch menu which had a decent amount of options for £6.95 per main course. It was relatively quiet when we arrived around 4.45pm and our order was taken very quickly. My husband had the meatball calzone and I had the chicken Caesar wrap. Both of which arrived piping hot and freshly made. Our server (we never caught his name) was fantastic and regularly checked that everything was ok with our food etc. After finishing our mains and the table being cleared, we were presented with two deserts which we actually hadn't ordered. At this time, my husband got the attention of our server and he informed him that we hadn't actually ordered deserts. Our server was very apologetic about this, but advised that we could have the deserts as this was his error and we would not be charged for them. This was a lovely gesture. The deserts were lovely and we would have been happy to pay for them however they were not added to our bill.

They should consider pulling their deserts to under a fiver as 6 quid or so for a thin slice of cheese cake is a tad over the score. But always a pleasure to visit on occasions.

Visited with all the family for a birthday meal. Waited a good 20 mins before we were asked what we would care to drink.Ordered a cocktail pitcher as four adults were having the same cocktail as this was cheaper than buying individually. When this arrived it tasted like watered down orange juice...no taste whatsoever. We sent it back and were given another which tasted a bit better but not much. We should have sent this back but one of the group was positive that she saw the bartender add alcohol to the mixture so we gave him the benefit of the doubt. It wasn't a cheap drink.We then waited for another 40 minutes and had to call the waitress over to order our meals. Could understand if the place was busy but it wasn't....and this was a Friday evening. The meals arrived separately and some of us had to wait a good few minutes before all the party was served. Really bad organisation.We were never asked if we wanted a top up drink so we had to call the waitress over again. Some of us declined another drink as we didn't think it would arrive before breakfast!!!! By this time we felt we had endured enough and left. Must say that the food was ok but not exceptional and most of us agreed we would be in no hurry to go back. Our advice would be to go to a restaurant that paid attention to their customers or if you do go then take a book to read till your meal appears....you may even get to finish the book. Not an experience we will repeat.

The meal started badly with after ordering drinks when shown to our table we were still waiting for them 10 minutes later. After complaining, a staff member checked and said the bar staff were making cocktails! Not a reasonable excuse as the place was less than a third full. We had the bbq sharing platter and it was great, really enjoyed it. The staff member who served was really nice and chatted about the film we'd been to see. Nice decor & music make this place relaxing, but the price of a small bottle of 7up was a ridiculous £3! The high star rating was for the meal and decor.

We went in for my sons birthday (he just turned 10). He was all excited and was telling all the waiters and waitresses when we first went in. Although the service was quick when we first arrived, that was the only thing! The food arrived and my son and I had a carbonara, which did not have a proper carbonara sauce and no ham!! My other son had the fish and chips and the fish was tasteless and mushy and my partner had a calzone which was also tasteless. We then sat for 30 minutes waiting for someone to clear our dishes but not a single person came near us - I would have understood if the place was busy and the staff were rushed of their feet, however, it was not busy and they only had a couple of tables in, there was plenty of staff, but they were all standing in the corner talking to each other and sorting Cutlery (obviously in a hurry to finish for the night, that they couldn't be bothered with the customers). Eventually we got a hold of someone to get the bill. I have never felt so angry and disappointed - more so for my son - as he was looking forward to the dessert as the highlight for him was when they're meant to sing happy birthday, baring in mind that he told everyone when we first arrived but obviously the staff couldn't be bothered. We will never use this restaurant again!

We were a party of 15, getting together to celebrate a birthday.We had been here before and had an ok experience.No problems with the starters, however, the main courses varied from dry and tasteless to disgusting.One of our party had a turkey main course and literally could not get her knife into the turkey. Nothing tasted freshly made and we suspect most of food was reheats.We complained and the manager decided not to charge us for any food or drink and gave us 4 bottles of Prosecco as compensation.A very poor experience and we won't be back......ever.

Was in Falkirk and had a few hours to spend so walked to the retail park. Felt like a bite to eat and noticed that Frankie and Bennys did breakfast. Nice place with plenty of seating, lights were a bit dim but my eyes adjusted. Good choice of breakfasts at a reasonable price, I opted for the lighter veggie breakfast which was lovely. The girl serving was very nice and was very attentive. Toilets were clean and had a fresh smell. Not a place I would have thought of going to for a breakfast but loved it.

I'll start exactly how our experience started, disappointingly! We were seated, drinks order taken. Drinks delivered but sadly the waitress spilt our last drink. She was very nervous but recovered well. And to her credit she replaced the drink with a large one as consultation. Accidents happen so not a problem. Ordered our meals. Chicken parmigianaSirloin steak but had sold out so rump instead. Ordered as medium Chicago grinder Calzone. On arrival all good. Chicken was fine, no issues. Steak was fine except it was well done not medium Calzone had the issue, looked nice but filling was cold inside. A passing waitress returned the calzone to kitchen. Another waiter appeared and asked what we wanted done with it? Redone, reheated, replacement? We were happy if it was heated up. However holding it under a heat lamp on the servery by the waiter after chef returned it, wasn't my idea of the type of heating. But we gave it a go. Alas it was as cold as when started. So again it was returned and my hubby had decided he was eating elsewhere. So my son and I hurriedly finished our meals. The manager did come and apologise and said he was going to speak to the chefs. And to his credit apart from not charging for the Calzone, he heavily discounted the rest of our food But this can't make up for a spoilt family meal. And it certainly won't do the reputation of the brand any favours. Sadly it will be a while before we return.

I visited here with my family because I received terrible service at another Frankie and Bennys and was given a voucher because of this, otherwise I wouldn't have come. I ordered spaghetti bolognese. When I started to eat the food it tasted excellent but half way through the meal I found a long blonde hair in my meal. Straightaway I told the young waitress lady who took it away and apologised, I was then asked if I wanted another dish, straight away I said no because I was put off for life by this point. The food was only lukewarm too so I wasn't wanting anything else. The waitress then returned and said that her manager said the hair hadn't come from the kitchen. I do understand that no one in the kitchen had long blonde hair but I feel like the manager was suggesting it belonged to one of us or it wasn't his problem. I went on to say that no one at our table had that colour of hair or length so no way was it ours. Literally 10 minutes after this the guy at the table beside us had the same problem so by this point I feel like we were being believed now. I do want to point out that the waitress had excellent customer service skills and she couldn't have done anything more for us, the manager seemed to be the problem. I can't remember the girls name but she had red hair, she should be given praise for her service.Basically we ended up not paying for my meal and got a discount off the rest. In the end I never got to use the voucher, we were too embarrassed to use it after this fiasco. I would have written another email to Frankie and bennys to sort this out but basically they will just send a voucher and I do not want another one, I will never be back here. Two restaurants in a week with serious problems, I think this company needs an overhaul, training of hygiene is terrible and the service isn't that good either, very slow.Beware.

Well I was talked into trying this eating place, the music I enjoyed until it became too loud then every 15 to 30 minutes you got happy birthday shouting out. Not the place to go for a nice quiet meal. The food was nothing to write home about, service was reasonable once you caught someone's eye. Okay to take the kids....sorry but not for me.

Visited on a Saturday evening with my mum and had pre-booked a table on the Frankie and Benny's app which was very useful.Staff were polite and friendly and orders were taken quickly.Food was nice as were the mocktail and cocktail we ordered.Much better experience than last time and will most likely return another time.

Visited with a friend. Restaurant was surprisingly busy. When our food finally arrived I can only describe it as a dogs dinner. My friends chicken was cooked so much she could hardly cut it open. My chicken wasn't much better, with no sign of the sauce that was meant to accompany it and served with a reheated, lukewarm baked potato. I can't believe the prices they charge for this sub par food. I did complain and the manager kindly asked if we would like something else. I said no, and he removed the cost of the meals from our bill. Will not be back.

Went on a Saturday lunchtime and we were only offered the dinner menu. I have been for dinner and it is fine but they need a lunch menu at the weekend. I don't want a full main course for a Saturday lunchtime and it is on average about £10 a meal. Please get a good lunchtime menu and we will be back.

My boyfriend and I dined here a couple of nights ago and it was absolutely awful. The cheesy garlic mushroom starter was horrible and the mushrooms were definitely not fresh. I had the chicken wrap for my main course which was abysmal. Fatty chicken, limp lettuce and there was so much bbq sauce that I could barely taste anything. The waitress never came over once to ask us how our meal was and we waited over 25 mins to actually catch someone's eye to get the bill. Would have complained but I didn't see the point. The staff don't seem to care, more happy to be chatting at the till point than attend to the customers. Shocking service and food and very overpriced. Will never be back.

I used to love this restaurant but since the change in menu I feel like it's been going down hill rapidly. We have been a couple of times since the new menu in hope that it would improve again but it definitely hasn't!The food is expensive, smaller portions and menu is more limited now.On our last visit my starter and main had far too much pepper on it and it was big bits which hadn't obviously been ground enough (came served like this - not something I asked for) which really put me off as it was overpowering so I ended up not eating a lot of it. Our waitress didn't seem to care, never asked once if we enjoyed any of our food and didn't question why my plate was going back with more than half my meal still on it. Usually I would say something but I just felt like it would not matter anyway.I am really disappointed as this used to be my favourite place to eat but I won't be going back.Service isn't what it used to be, menu is rubbish now and food wasn't nice.

I had another delicious meal from Frankie and Bennys yet again! Great place to stop whilst doing some shopping at the retail park in Falkirk. The new menu is fab - especially the new dessert with Oreo & chocolate brownies! Great deal during the week as well with 2 meals/courses for around only £11!

After sampling decent, albeit expensive food at other Frankie and Bennys establishments in the past, we called into this one while on a day visit to the shopping retail park where this establishment is located.The staff were pleasant enough and it wasn't busy being about 11:30am on a Sunday, but after a lengthy wait I received my Breakfast on a stone cold plate, beans that were in a little side dish were cold, the Bacon just warm and greasy, the Sausage warm, and the Mushrooms hot. It looked to me as if some items were put on the cold plate too far in advance of the Mushrooms by the fact they were the hottest by far.But while the above wasn't acceptable, the main issue was the amount of Thick Grease lying on the plate! It was swimming.For a "Chef" to dish up breakfast like this is not on and not professional at all.A simple hot plate and all the ingredients cooked and laid on the plate at the same time isn't too much to ask is it?My wifes meal was cold and greasy too, so its a general issue with cold plates and food.Won't be going in there again that's for sure!

The set menu at £11.95 is very good, the burgers are fantastic and the meatball pizza was good too. The chocolate ice cream 9/10 and the blueberry 9/10. The mushrooms were great. The service is good but be aware that you may need to have to get all your mains out at the same time.

Went there with hubby and grandchildren during Easter holidays for lunch. What an absolute disgrace - the pizza was soggy and had hardly any filling, my wrap was edible but then again had hardly any filling, the hot dogs were okay but my oh my I have never seen chips served like this ever. They were obviously frozen chips which when served were half cooked and limp. The prices here are a disgrace and the food is awful. This was my first visit here and will definitely be my last.

Visited on a busy Saturday afternoon (luckily had booked a table as there was 7 of us).Service was very slow, and staff seemed to be serving everyone bar us even though we were right beside a till. We waited 20 minutes to have our order taken and when food finally arrived one member of our party was left with around a 7 minute wait for his "wrap" even though pizza and burgers had come out quicker.As we were out for my nephews birthday when we finally ordered desert I reminded our waitress that she said they would put a candle in his pudding.Desserts were brought out... with no candle in his pudding. After reminding the waitress again she then went back for one.The waffles which were ordered by 3 of us lacked in appearance and taste and did not look like the picture which was sat on our table.

We came here for a meal before going to the cinema, and had a starter and main course each. The calamari starter was excellent, very tasty and a good portion size. I had the steak and chips for main, cooked well and the service was very quick - if anything a little too quick as my main was brought while my starter plate was still on the table. The only reason I marked it down a star is because this restaurant can be a bit hit and miss in my experience, but our most recent visit was very good.

The place looks really good, has an extensive menu with reasonable prices and tasty food. What lets it down for me is the slow service. While the staff are lovely, friendly and helpful they don't seem particularly well organised. As we were sitting near the open plan kitchen we could see our food sitting on the pass for at least ten minutes before it was served, meaning it was a bit dried out and over cooked. It's a shame because otherwise this place ticks all the boxes, but waiting 15 minutes just to place a good order when the place is almost empty just isn't good enough and having food lying in the open while staff polish cutlery is just poor management.

We have had various breakfasts, lunches and dinners over the years since F&B's opened in Falkirk all good value. Today that changed.We had an hour for lunch. The resturant as busy when we arrived and there was a kids party ongoing but we were seated straight away and our drinks order taken as usual. Plenty waiting staff on duty but at first there seemed to be only two chefs, I was seated facing the kitchen so had a good view as they hurried to keep up. It took about 10 minutes to get our drinks and we were in for just over 1/2 an hour before our food eventually arrived. Unfortunately this was our main course. I'm unsure if our server forgot to order our starter or if the chefs forgot to cook it. It did arrive shortly after and we were advised there would be no charge for it. Whilst this was appreciated we'd rather have had our food in order and without the extensive wait.The food, as usual, tasted good but not compatible with the prices. It's not that the menu is expensive in itself for a restaurant. It's when the food and pricing are compared with other nearby restaurants that you realise it's overpriced.One of our burgers looked as if it came from McDonalds as did the "French fries" which are on the menu as chips but not cut like any chip should be.Overall I was disappointed with the whole experience. There was no real reason for the delay in service or the order served incorrectly. The restaurant has been operating for years and I've seen it much busier. It won't be our last visit as the kids really like it. I'll just need to lower my expectations.

I have been here a number of times. Each time I have a disappointment, but then go back thinking it might have been a bad day/night.. But no def won't be back. On several occasions service slow my meal sitting in server waiting to be brought out! At 1 point I was going to go collect it myself. On another occasion there was no heating!! I had to sit with my jacket wrapped around me! We asked if heating could be turned up but it had broke!!! Surely tell ur customers this so they can decide if they want to freeze eating a semi warm meal!!! Staff okay 1 young was a pleasure, but others can be rude. Food is okay! I'm always there with my partner and son ( he enjoys the atmosphere mostly why we went) for 2 adults and a 5 year old we were £70 this is not cheap for an okay meal!! But my last experience I decided it's had too many chances!!

Not sure why they have an area as you walk in designed for a host/ess to greet you and seat you as it is never manned. Visited a few times now and always the same. This time I saw who I was meeting so just went over to sit without waiting. Food is usually good though and I enjoyed the fish. There was a couple of birthday parties that day and unfortunately the music played for the cake being brought out was extremely loud - we were possibly under a speaker but made conversation impossible and was very painful to the ears. Our waitress was cheery and helpful - always good when it's a table full of kids.

Not too bad service could of been slightly better from the server the food was okay the only thing that let the pizza down was the rubbery chicken it was a shame as the pizza itself was really good. Server had to read the menu to tell me what bottles beers they had reading in front of me! Overall the afternoon was pleasant.

Typical big business that is more worried about money that quality. It is great for the kids but it does need to up the game a bit. I feel sorry for the staff because they all appear lovely but they are the ones who get all the complaints and there were a lot the night we visited. We will keep coming back because the kids love it but hopefully they will learn to appreciate real food soon.
