We visited as a couple with 5 children. We had prebooked. We were seated quickly by a friendly waitress. It wasn't overly busy, considering it was 5pm. The drinks arrived quickly but the Frankie's Fruit Punch was the most tasteless drink I've ever had, we order it regularly at my local F&Bs and it's delicious and fruity, this one was watery and tasteless. I wanted chicken parmigiana but it was out of stock, so I ordered hotdog. It was horrible, it was tiny, considering the price and it was just in a cheap finger bread roll. Definitely not worth the money. The other meals were fine but not the usual F&Bs standard. We won't be visiting this particular venue again.

Didn't actually come in for food but ordered from just eat instead, there was a slight problem with the just eat driver delivering our food to an address that wasn't ours. Even though the manager and staff at frankie and bennnys/kickass burritos wasn't at fault, the manager on shift at the time explained to me exactly what to do, was very apologetic and also cheered me up at the time I was "hangry" ;) what an amazing manager you have here. Thank you so much. My belly is now content from your devine burrito with added mini donuts :) two very happy customers here.

Chose Frankie and Benny's as needed a late meal with children and you know what you are getting with f&b's Staff were friendly, service was prompt, food was ok. Still a nice relaxed family meal.

Cocktail ordered was nothing like a daiquiri at all. Poor beer selection. As for the food my pizza was very poor and burnt, only partially sauced. My partners pasta was bang average and lacked any form of flavour. For the price paid this was rather disappointing, upon writing this review I am currently sat in the restaurant waiting to pay, have been sat like this for 15 minutes now with only 2 other tables here. Not really good enough I’m afraid. Won’t be returning

It’s quite a while since I’ve eaten in a restaurant and today not only was the food good but the service provided by Leanne (waitress) was absolutely 100%, she was friendly and made us feel relaxed and welcome, she is a lovely lady and I feel needs to be recognised for her excellent service.

Lovely meal here on bank holiday monday. Havent been in ages and it was so nice. We had the chicken parmigiana and the bbq chicken pizza, both really fresh and tasty! Sauce for the pasta was really nice. My husband had a side of broccolini and i had some fries. We also had a hot cookie and ice cream for dessert which was amazing. Friendly service and clean restaurant, thanks!

Decided to try here for dinner and make the most of the dinner and coke offer currently available. First impressions were good. On arrival you could see the efforts they had gone to keep things tidy and make the restaurant Covid secure. All staff had masks and they had a one way route in place. They also had a staff member just cleaning tables, chairs and the front door as well so felt safe the whole visit. Our waitress was very pleasent indeed and looked after us well for our entire stay. The food was what you would expect for a restaurant like F & B but was very tasty. Only disappointment was they didn't have one on the key ingredients to my pizza so I had to change what I wanted. Nonetheless, what I did end up choosing was very pleasant indeed. Overall an enjoyable family meal out.

Visited yesterday. Had a lovely meal from lunch menu and staff member very helpful. All staff wore masks except for one staff member who might have been manager due to different clothing. This staff member then welcomed two men into the restaurant with no masks, one of these men then left his table to go outside to smoke, again with no mask. Everyone else within F&B's had masks. There is a big concern within GY due to covid and its spread around the local factories and some communities so why is nobody enforcing the masks. I will think twice before visiting again where masks are not enforced and so putting other diners at risk.

We pre booked our table for this restaurant but found on arrival the table wasn’t ready.... seemed odd because our booking email had informed us of a time frame to eat. We waited outside until it was ready. When walking in we found that Frankie and Bennys have reduced the amount of tables available to enable social distancing, a HUGE thumbs up from us! We felt completely safe sitting at our table a safe distance from others and using the one way system to go to the toilet. The down side to our evening begun with the wait for food.... we waited an hour for our main meals. It was only then that it became clear as to why we had to wait for our table because people couldn’t possibly stay in their time limits with this kind of wait. When the food arrived it was not of a standard we would be used to at Frankie and bennys. One of the pizzas was barely cooked, it almost looked like an after thought and that it may have been missed off the list! Further added to our disappointment was the cookie dough pudding. I appreciate it doesn’t get cooked through otherwise it would be a cookie.... however it tasted like it had not been cooked at all! Just a dough made and then put in the bowl. Although our complaints were minor I do feel it ruined our meal which is a shame because we were here on holiday after a long spring/summer working. We will of course go to Frankie and bennys again, maybe this was a one off night and the staff were limited.... I can’t think of any other reason as like I already mentioned the restaurant was only at half capacity.

I went for a meal on Friday evening and had a pretty terrible experience. I understand the challenges facing restaurants due to covid-19 but waiting over and hour for inedible food is unacceptable. When our food finally arrived we were presented with a pizza which was completely undercooked and a steak which was a tough as a piece of old leather. We are not the sort to complain but to give a customer a pizza with raw onion on and cheese that's barely melted you have to expect a complaint. My partners food was equally poor, and cold. The waitress was lovely, she requested the manager, however he was more preoccupied with the huge number of just eat deliveries than speaking to customers. When he eventually found the time to speak to us he explained they were short staffed which they were finding this challenging during the pandemic with a dull restaurant. I understand to an extent, but don't fill a restaurant and continue to take online orders if you can't keep up with demand? Went home hungry.

Pizza was like cardboard, barely any toppings on the base, burnt, crispy, basically inedible! Other meals that we had were not up to scratch either. Manager was rude and just said it was because of a trainee chef...then the chef being trained should have been shown how to do it properly. It was not in a fit state to leave the kitchen. It was taken off the bill but no apology was made really, manager didn't care!..very poor standard in there...don't waste your time or money!

Social distancing measures were clearly admired to and the general atmosphere felt somewhat normal considering the pandemic.Leann was our waitress on this occasion and I must say her service and general conversation were absolutely amazing - so polite and bubbly!And the food was to die for! I had the Arrabbiata and my friend had the Chicken Parmigiana.Both agreed it was the best meal we have every had here.Definitely upped their standards

We visited today on only their second day of opening since Covid. You can tell the staff have been trained in standards well and we felt really safe eating here. Hand sanitizer as you go in and a dedicated member of staff just for sanitising places of contact. Plenty of space to social distance despite being really busy. All staff we interacted with(which is kept to a minimum) were cheerful and friendly and couldn't help enough. Food was delicious. We have booked to go again next week #eatouttohelpoutWell done Frankie & Bennies

Used to love F&B’s for their Mediterranean vegetable burger but unfortunately they stopped doing this a while ago. I tried some other things after but it was all very poor quality that was obviously frozen ready meals just put in the oven or microwave, no actual cooking involved. Went back to try their new vegan menu and was very disappointed. Asked for the loaded jackets without the vegan sheese but apparently it came like that. (Fresh our of the truck frozen and shoved in the oven I’m guessing.)Won’t go again unless I have to for someone else.

Started off with limited customer service, then when we sat down one of the party was presented with a dirty used napkin that had to be changed. We firstly ordered the meat feast platter, it came out and was luke warm with not a large amount of food for a sharing platter between 4 people. We then ordered 4 pizzas, two came out cooked and looked appetising. The other two were completely under cooked with the dough not cooked and raw with a considerable amount of flour on the base. We ordered sweet potato fries for the table and we were presented with a bowl of coleslaw. That then had to be taken back and we waited for out sweet potato fries to be cooked because they had obviously been forgotten about. Once speaking to the staff who were efficient and quick to resolve the issues and explaining the situation some of the problems were resolved. All in all an extremely mediocre experience for an overpriced microwaved meal.

visted F & B tonight for a meal, we arrived early and were promptly shown to our table, waitress was pleasent , but she did make us pressured to place our orders which was bad , then the meal took for ever to arrive ( they seemed to be more interested in bagging up takeaway orders) which seemed funny as to how the waitress was with the ordering, finally it arrived and the food was ok but nothing special, i had black and blue burger with fries, i could not taste or see the blue cheese and the cajun spice over powered it. ( and i like spice). shame!! same as most of these chain places all you seem to get is the burger dumped on a plate with some fries, with no side salad or garnish to make it look appealing , which considering the price £15.00 which is a little on the steep side for what it is, is pretty poor !! we did have dessert i had a sundee but again nothing special really for the price £5.50 2 scoops of ice cream and some cookie dough pieces in a narrow conincal glass.

We booked a table for our meal for 6 o'clock, we arrived on time and were taken to our table.Despite it being surprisingly quiet we had to wait until 6.15 before our order was taken even for drinks, when we ordered the children all wanted soup but we were told that it was unavailable.For the past 5 visits to Frankie and Benny's over a number of months, since last year, we have been told the soup is unavailable, one waitress months ago did tell us they no longer actually stock it but it hasn't been taken off the menus, the menus we were given yesterday were new ones so why are they still advertising the soup?! The other starters were dough balls, garlic bread or vegetable sticks,not very exciting.Can I please suggest if you are no longer stocking it remove it from the menus as it is false advertising, if it is available can I suggest you stock more of it, as you can understand children can get frustrated when everytime they go to a restaurant they are told they cant have their choice of food.The rest of the meal was lovely and no complaints other than the service was unusually slow for how quiet it was.

When we arrived we asked for a specific area to sit which had lots of empty tables but were told we couldn’t sit there as there wasn’t a waitress available for that part of the restaurant.Not great! Our drinks sat on the bar for 25 minutes until I asked a waitress if we could have them! Had sat there so long the ice had melted! Starters arrived before the drinks, and the calamari looked like onion rings and was so stringy that when we bit into it it pinged back and wiped our top lips!Mains weren’t much better. The lasagne had no sauce in it when it was cut into and the burger had a funny taste!Wasn’t able to order another drink as there was no waitress available to ask.Deserts were ok but nothing to shout about.Really disappointing evening. Definitely need more staff as they only had three waitresses on for a very busy restaurant!

Discovered there's a Frankie n Bennys app. Came here on a cold January night for "date night" (on the app). A sharing platter 2 pizzas and wine later for under £30 was a winner. We also ordered garlic bread pizza with cheese which this time was cooked beautifully (last time it was drizzled in oil and greasy) - perfect night out thank you.

My daughter chose this venue to invite the whole family to her 21st birthday celebration. We had a awful experience. 4 of our guest had arrived first and were seated luckily enough as when the rest of us turned up there was no one to greet us or direct us to our table. Then the waiter came to our table to take orders and asked if anyone had any allergies or food in tolerances, I said yes as I do have allergies and I am intolerant to certain foods. He then produce a tablet and started asking loads of questions about the foods, at this point I started to feel very anxious and embarrassed, all I wanted to order was my safe go to food of steak and chips. The whole table of our party could see my anxiety building, I felt like the whole restaurant was watching me. When finally all details inputted the details, I only had a couple of items to chose from and no steak or chips. At this point my daughter was upset and our other guest all agreed we should leave. I couldn't as it was what my daughter had chosen to do for her birthday. I took a chance and ordered steak and chips at my own risk. We had a variety of different dishes which were all serve luke warm. I asked for the bill only to discover a service charge had automatically been added of 10% = £21.76 luckily my friend queried this at which point the waitress then informed me I didn't have to pay that if I didn't want. Which after this experience definitely not. I am very disappointed at what should of been a lovely evening has been spoilt and put me off eating out at any establishment not alone never returning to a frankie and bennys. I understand the legal side and precautions of dealing with allergy suffers, but this was extremely uncomfortable for myself and the rest of our party.

Sadly my daughter (aged 2 and has a known cow's milk protein allergy) suffered an anaphylactic reaction after consuming food at Frankie and Benny's. We made the team aware of the allergies and ordered vegan meals. Immediately after eating a small amount she showed signs of an allergic reaction which progressively worsened within a very short space of time. Initially it started with abdominal pain, then wheezing, hives and blotchy skin and sweating with facial and ear swelling. We rushed her to A+E within 5 minutes, by which time she was starting to become unresponsive. She required adrenaline and numerous medications over the course of a couple of hours to control the reaction. Along with needing to be monitored overnight.

Where to begin? In a restaurant with one party as the SOLE customer, we still had to CHASE for our check. If you're remotely contemplating going here, skip it. The children's breakfasts are flat-out a rip-off. The "pancake breakfast" is ONE silver dollar pancake CUT IN HALF! And the "waffle breakfast" is 1/4 of a normal waffle cut in three minuscule sections with a be smattering of berries as compensation. And these each cost 4.99 GBP. Nothing else. No eggs, bacon, etc. A "side" of pancakes (two silver dollar) is 3.99. WTH? If your kid feeds intravenously, this is your place, but if you dare to have a child who actually EATS, just give this place a miss entirely. And the adult breakfasts are not much better. The "Traditional English" is the ONLY safe option, and why would you when so many other places actually do "Traditional English" correctly? Avoid any selection with poached eggs, smoked salmon, or avocado because you will feel ill the remainder of the day. The menus are not wiped down and the tables are sticky. The toilets, however, are spotless. Seriously, the cleaner on the bike is the only guy doing his job properly. Whomever is in charge of this place needs to give him a raise. He is the ONLY reason you are getting two stars instead of one. The food was served on cold plates, a lot of the "available" selections are out of stock, the serving staff are clearly uninterested. This is NOT where you want to be!

Booked a table online, Friday 7pm. We arrived on time to be asked to sit in the bar and wait, when there were quite clearly empty tables ready for customers. Front of house seemed to be very unorganised. Got seated and ordered drinks, had a few minutes to finalise our food order. Sat and waited, around 30 mins, to my shocked surprise the food arrives. “Sorry to look so shocked, we are still waiting on drinks”. The rest of the food comes out, warm but not hot. Still waiting for drinks to arrive. Get half way through our meals, finally the drinks come. Order dessert, all I can say, if you are looking for an adult portion of chocolate brownie and ice cream, please go to Brewers Fayre just down the road, I was served what appeared to be the kids portion, very dry and dull. Considering a meal for a family of 4 for the same sort of order was over £20 dearer here, I’d certainly be going back to Brewers Fayre.

Came for a meal with a couple of friends. The guy apologised for the menus as they had just been cleaned and were still wet. Shame they actually hadn’t as they were sticky with what was beer as they wreaked of it. Wasn’t even finished looking at menu and asked to take order. I swapped the bbq sauce for Nashville sauce which still had bbq in it and that on top which spoilt it. No vinegar on table, asked for it but never got any. The cheese in the wrap never melted and the wrap only very slightly warm. Chips were ok. Coleslaw was just basic coleslaw with their own dip added to it. I only know this as said it didn’t taste right and that’s what we were told. Spaghetti bolognese was very basic. Used to have fresh garlic to add to it now they no longer stock it and only have garlic butter cubes which isn’t the same. Had dessert and then took an important phone call. While I was on the phone was asked if I wanted the bill. Clearly sitting on the phone again felt rushed and that I was on the phone found this quite rude. Still on the phone came along again and said did we want the card machine or not? I proceeded to say I’d like to just finish my call then we would decide. We hadn’t been charged for the refillable drinks which should have been £2.99 instead charged for large drinks at £3.29. Didn’t want to quibble anymore as was already annoyed so best we left. I am local to here and used to like Frankie and Bennys but sad to say I won’t be coming again for any birthdays or anything as that experience has lead me to think they just simply don’t care anymore.

Visited here last night for the first time, the place was pretty busy when we got there, but we were seated straight away, waitress was nice and the place was clean and tidy. We had a deal through meerkat app for 2 for 1 on starters, mains and desserts, and although the food was ok, we felt it was only really worth what we paid for it, if we had of paid full price then it would have been a rip off. My burger (black and blue) was about the same size or slightly smaller than a big mac..... and i had the cajun cheese added to my fries... deff not worth the money. Wouldn't recommend if paying full price for things.

Visited for dinner with 4 kids and 2 adults. Kids all had pizza and fries, the pizza had large bare bits with no topping on all round it, the fries were dried up and tough, the same with the adult meals though in fairness the burgers were good but fries etc the same, where on earth do you get bacon rashers that small? the kids meals were £8 each and adults were about £17 but worth considerably less than this £8.95 tops. How previous reviewers can say it's good value is beyond me. This was our second (and last) visit, same as first time but gave them the benefit then, nothings changed.

Came in for a cheeky birthday meal and initially started very well but rapidly went down hill from there. Tried to order an Hawaiian pizza to be told that they had no pineapple. I said that’s fine could they put ham on instead. The lady said fine and we went about our meal.

Upon arrival two of the kitchen staff one male one female were outside the restaurant door smoking and arguing .very unwelcoming and offputting. The service is good ,the waitress cheerful and helpful. the meal was very disappointing with cold onion rings which we returned. I asked for a green salad with my chicken which came back with a thick covering of couscous it neither like nor asked for. There were 6 people in our party nobody had a meal that could be considered tasty and well presented. even the coleslaw was watery. The BBQ sauce on my chicken was thin and sparse. This restaurant has definitely gone downhill since a change of management.

First time at this place, well actually that's not quite true, we tried to go 2 weeks ago and was told on the telephone it wasn't necessary to book, so we turned up and was told 32 people just arrived in a party and we could have a table but food would be at least an hour. So we left and went to the Grayling, (see previous post).

We went here tonight with two adults, four 9 year olds and a 2 year old. It was my 9 year olds birthday and I mentioned this when calling. The manager of the restaurant greeted us and was so helpful and friendly going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. On our table they had put balloons up for my daughter, I thought this was really sweet and thoughtful of them.

Went this evening with a friend. The service was good from a polite waitress but OMG the food was awful! My pizza was dry & the chips with chilli & sour cream tasted like they had been heated up over & over again! The so called key lime pie tasted just as bad! At the time I wish I had complained but because we had a two for one meal deal I really couldn’t be bothered as is seemed ( from a young family who were dining next to us ) their experience was just as bad & the management weren’t that fussed. Never going back to this place again

It was my sisters 15th Birthday when we visited Frankie and Bennys and it will be the last time we visit. Only reason I have given this place two stars is because of the friendly staff. Staff cannot be faulted, they couldn't do enough for us on the night. The food on the other hand was absolutely terrible, the portion sizes seemed like they were made for children. I couldn't help but laugh at my sisters friends dessert as it was tiny! (I recommend not to order the blueberry cheesecake if you end up coming here) overall bad atmosphere and uninviting vibe. When booking a table we were told that we had half an hour to eat our food as another party was coming in, ridiculous booking system. Another issue was when we booked we said it was for a birthday, I'm sure they usually have a sparkler or something to go with the dessert but nothing this time! I will not be returning to this restaurant and wouldn't recommend

The food wasn’t the best to be honest didn’t come out very warm. We had the meerkat movies 2 4 1 on starters, Mains and deserts . Considering we had all of the food at half price I didn’t think it was great value for money . Also came here for breakfast a month or so and that wasn’t great either

We always have a takeaway from here while on holiday in the area and in the past its always been very tasty and well worth the money, this time it was tasty but did not seem to be the same standard as other visits, the prices have gone up but the portions were a lot smaller.

Expensive for inedible chicken. Chicken was dry, overcooked. Kebabs ok… but wouldn’t rush to go back. Miserable woman serving and had the cheek to overcharge when I asked for the chicken meal. It’s cash only too. Not impressed
