Took the kids for a 1/2 term treat, waited 40 minutes for our food. When it arrived the chicken burger was basically cold, my daughters salad was uninspiring and my 4 cheese pizza was basically just a base, no sauce with just a tiny sprinkling of mozzarella, other 3 cheeses completely missing! Waiter was good and very apologetic, but even with a voucher, was definitely not worth the £60 we paid. Won’t be back!

We booked in advance just incase it was busy , when we arrived we had to wait around 5 minutes to be seated as the restaurant was fairly busy. Food was pretty much what you would expect although the service was a little slow 2 hours from sitting down to leaving. All in all ok but i always find this restaurant chain a little overpriced for what you get .

A complete no go ordered takeout 45 mins from the collection, you give your details as well in case there's problems. I get there and ask if they can make sure my chips are warm this time or freshly cooked I was told yes, I said "last two times they tasted like cardboard which suggests they have been sitting or warmed up, the lady said "probably yes" enough said ay. She went and came back and said they didn't have the burger id ordered hahah oh no, what a joke ay. Got my money back and left, I wouldn't eat here, defo not a this restaurant. The staff don't care, the company doesn't care and the staff are a true case of a corporate mindset killing the individual, the staff are like zombies with no will to carry on!

We went here because Nando’s was too full. So glad we did. I had the best burger and chips EVER!! Fries were so tasty and crunchy and the burger had heaps of flavour. The decaf cappuccino was also hot and a delicious way to end the meal. Service was so polite, friendly and swift. My family also rated their good as great. Would definitely go back.

We visited on Christmas Eve. It was busy and therefore the service was a tad slow, but as it was Christmas Eve - we could not complain!I was disappointed with my Pina Colada cocktail, the glass was small and it was mostly froth and ice! For nearly £6, i would say it was worth half that price!!The best thing was the festive menu as the Brie and Cranberry burger was very tasty! Please keep this burger on the menu, year round!

Well we had to wait to be served on arrival as the staff were chatting, should've realised then, but our son was hungry. We were shown to a table for the 5 of us, only to have to move, as the children behind us were climbing over chairs and bagging on the backs of our chairs, the staff didn't tell them to calm down and so we moved. We then waited 45mins for our food, very disappointing, worst one we have been in.

We went for lunch today and we were appalled at the quality of the food. I had a lasagne and you had to hunt for anything that resembled any meat. My husband and stepdaughter had a steak which was supposed to be medium rare but were over done and dry. We sent one back but it took forever for a replacement to arrive. There were many things on the menu which were out of stock which caused great disappointment for the grand children. And the portions from the children’s menu were a disgrace.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon, the restaurant was not busy but was warned the food would take about 45 minutes, we were happy with that so was seated. It all started well, drinks and food order was taken quite quickly and starter came out quicker than expected. It was OK portions were good and food was hot. This is where it started going wrong. Plates were cleared I tried to get someone’s attention to order a drink, it took a while to catch someone’s eye but got the order in just before the mains arrived. No cutlery so had to catch someone’s else attention. 15 minutes into the mains just as we were finishing the drinks arrived but was thirsty so took them. 10 minutes after that they arrived again. So I had to send back.

I used to find this place amazing and fun to go to and I came with my friends today and the service was horrible. The waiters kept getting our orders wrong, placed it in the wrong places no matter how many times we told them, one of our meals even went to the wrong table!

I came here for breakfast with my daughter when she visited me from Worcester. The restaurant was virtually empty when we arrived so there was no waiting and we were sitting at a table relatively quickly. Nice atmosphere and pleasant decor. No annoying loud music playing, although I did notice some when I went to use the toilet, but it didn't impede conversation. Friendly but not over-familiar waiter who did his job efficiently and unpretentiously. I don't like waiting staff to be over-friendly as it can become annoying. I ordered a Breakfast Stacker, which consisted of a ciabatta filled with sausages, bacon, hash browns, cheese and fried egg and served with crispy herb potatoes. More than sufficient to satisfy my hunger. I also had a latte, as good as any from a coffee shop such as Costa or Starbucks.

Came here because there was a gluten free burger my daughter was craving and she was not disappointed. Burger was in a bun and came with a jacket potato. We also ordered a foot long hot dog which my daughter opted to have with salad , the hotdog was nice but the salad was on the same plate and had dressing on it which had made the bun soggy. But the hot dog was nice. I had arrabiata pasta and that was sadly disappointing. Best thing - with a student card you get 20% discount!

We went on Christmas eve with our children for a special breakfast. Sadly it turned out to be a shocking breakfast. We all ordered pancakes, the children had strawberry and syrup and we had bacon and syrup, we specifically asked if the bacon was streaky and ordered on the basis that it was. When it arrived (on cold plates) the pancakes had been microwaved into rubbery inedible bullets, the "streaky" bacon was burnt back bacon and when I highlighted this the waitress said that the "streaky bacon" was "back bacon but cooked more" and offered to have it cooked futher, we declined. My syrup pot was empty also. Our kids had one rubbery pancake with a strawberry sliced and shared between both them. Really poor value. I did complain and some items were removed from the bill but I wouldn't consider returning.

14.45pm and another busy Saturday afternoon shopping at the Centre MK. To escape the hoards, we head over to Xscape in order to find something to eat. With no queue outside Frankie & Benny's, that becomes our eatery destination. We were immediately seated and provided with our choice of drinks, our menu order taken not long after. With an ongoing love affair with Dough-balls, we opted for a new sharing starter, of the aforementioned which were accompanied by 3 dips, Garlic & Herb Butter, Pesto and an Italian Tomato one. When the dish was served my eyes began to bulge right out of my head. For a reasonable price of £8.99, we were presented with no less than 20 Dough Balls! More than enough to satisfy the 2 of us, and then some. we weren't disappointed. They were hot and delicious, a perfect way to get your metabolism going. Being a non-meat eater, for my main, I opted for another new item on the menu, the Skinny Vegi Pizza, which is half the size of a regular 10", but comes accompanied with a wonderfully dressed salad, just what the Doctor ordered following our carbohydrate loaded entrée. The flavours on both were smashing and highly recommended particularly if you are bored of being given bland vegetarian dishes all the time. The shake my partner ordered to accompany his food has to be one of the most indulgent and delicious things I have ever tasted ever! I am talking about the Black Forest Shake, an adult's only beverage as it contains Kirsch, but well worth the hefty £6.79 price-tag. It is to die for, simply DIVINE! If I had to choose a final meal, ever, it would definitely be part of it, with knobs on! Our dessert choice was also a relative new-comer to the Frankie & Benny's food repertoire, Blueberry Delight Waffles, complete with a scoop of moreish vanilla ice cream. We shared this final dish, as per usual, and despite having appeased our respective appetites, we wanted more. On this occasion, the staff were exceedingly pleasant, efficient and catered for our every need. We spent a total of £45.64, before tip, but left with smiles on our faces having enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere in their entirety. We will be returning.

Throughout our visit they were attentive and always checking we were happy with our food. We all had starters and main course and a couple of drinks each.

As a person who is gluten intolerant I was impressed when I was given a separate menu instead of having to pick through the regular one, I ordered the GF bacon cheese burger, can't go wrong or so I thought.... clearly the burger bun was frozen and defrosted (could have hammered a nail in a wall with It!).. then the options are to accompany the brick like burger bun... jacket potato OR side salad OR corn on the cob(jacket and side salad would have been nice) when it arrived it was practically a childs portion... too much to ask to have a normal sized meal? Clearly, so if like me you are gluten intolerant do yourself a favour and don't eat here!!

Went there for a meal in March, big mistake. Service is excellent. Food probably the worst I / we have ever had. We paid for the meal to avoid any fuss in the restaurant, we all make mistakes in life. My advice , if you are in the Xscape there are loads of places to eat, keep walking past this one. We returned food due to being under cooked, another bung in the microwave cured that. It was then dried out. Contacted their head office twice after this meal, they couldnt care less.

A busy Saturday afternoon, at the end of the School Half-Term and we were ravenous. We opted to try a venue I had only ever previously visited once before, many, many, moons ago, but my partner hadn't. With nobody waiting at the door, probably due to the fact that it was well past lunch-time, we were seated immediately. The restaurant was busy, filled with a mixture of families and couples, as well as groups of friends but there were plenty of staff on-hand to attend to every customer. From the moment we stepped foot inside we were both taken by the comfortable atmosphere and pleasant décor and the employees all looked extremely dapper in their smart uniforms. We were pleasantly surprised. We were swiftly asked what we wanted to drink and whether we were ready to order which we were. A starter of Double dip dough-balls to share, followed by a Capresse salad for me and Spaghetti with meatballs for my partner, with a side order of fries. Our food was delivered extremely promptly and tasted delicious. Our waiter made sure that we were content with our order and as to whether or not we required any additional condiments. The attention to detail as a whole was superb. We couldn't resist selecting a desert, which once again we were allowed to share, something which is always nice to have as an option. The bill was as expected, not exactly cheap, however, due to the food quality and portion sizes we were extremely satisfied and left with smiles on our faces. Many thanks to the staff who made our visit so pleasurable. We are already planning our next F & B trip and I for one can't wait.

This must have been the worse restaurant chain food we have ever experienced. Chicken Caesar salad was a bowl of iceberg lettuce with dressing and chicken on top, no more. Pasta dish was pasta with a tin of crushed tomatoes, no flavour. Even with the Cineworld 25% off it was over priced. Never again.

Once sat at our table, it was 40 mins until food was placed in front of us. We watched it be placed on the hot counter once the chef had made it. Several staff were wondering around aimlessly, walking past our food. When it finally arrived to us it was cold. Having worked in hospitality ourselves we were not very impressed with the staff!

It is with a heavy heart I write this review because despite the review I'm about to give and the experiences had, there's still apart of me that wants to love F&B's.However every time my partner has convinced me to give them another try it's just bad. The food is fairly good so that's a plus however the service is such a let down.Mostly it's just the speed, you'll be waiting for along time for something and it's either to be served, waiting for food/drinks or the bill.However the number 1 reason I even wrote this review is the rudeness of one of their senior waiters. The first time I encountered him he slammed the bill down on the table, then got annoyed I had no told him I had a discount card. I at this point had only just finished the meal and hadn't even contemplated dessert let alone asked for a bill.A different time we waited over 15 minutes for our order to be taken, I asked the same member of staff "we've been waiting a while for the order to be taken and have a film at X time, could you advise how long the food will take? " to which he replied in his most snarky time "the normal time" tried to explain that without knowing what normal time is however he just rolled his eyes at me so we left.The final time we went this member of staff wasn't around however the service was still extremely slow even when we asked for the bill as we needed to leave we had to go up to the bar to force through the payment.Food wise my partner said she enjoyed the spaghetti and meatballs and I overall I likedthe calzone however the toppings were not evenly distributed which lead to quite a few empty bites.

We were a largish group, after we ordered drinks it took 30 minutes for them to arrive, starters were Ok but most of us ended up with a lukewarm main meal.

Very helpful, friendly and speedy service. The restaurant was very clean, welcoming and reasonably bus. The food was typical of this type restaurant, good but not great but tasty and obviously freshly cooked.

Aunque el local está bien decorado y es agradable, la comida es muy simple, sin sabor y poco apetecible. Hay otras cadenas de restaurantes de este estilo que ofrecen cosas mucho mejores por el mismo precio. No merece la pena.

Turned up at about 7 on a Wednesday evening. Fairly quiet and lots of empty tables. We was told to wait at the bar for a table. About 5 minutes later, the waiter took us to our table. Leo took our drink order straight away and went away and left us without menus. We then had to try and get hold of menus. Eventually after a couple of minutes, we got his attention! Drinks took around 5 minutes to arrive. Placed our food order. It took around 15 minutes for starters and around 10 minutes for mains after our starter plates had been collected. The presentation of the mains wasn’t good at all and was actually a little disappointed. Decent portion and the food was very hot but presentation was poor. We noticed just our little staff they had. 2 chefs and 1 desert chef and 2 floor staff members. I think there should of been at least one more waitress and Chef on. With some small improvements I would recommend.

Item number 4 of the customer journey training, is advise customers if non availability of any items on the menu when they sit down, before ordering food as there were lots of items unavailable. Other than that, staff were reasonably friendly and service was okay.

Very disappointed with our visit last night. Only 2 servers were working so service was slow but we had been told that at start so no major problem to us, I ordered the spaghetti Bol. It was horrible. Spaghetti hadn't been drained properly and was swimming in water, bolognise sauce was watery and tastless and there was hardly any of it. Wasn't impressed. Waiter did offer to reduce price by half as I couldn't eat it but as we already had voucher for third off we didn't bother. When there are so many other eateries at the stadium we won't be rushing back.

Went in just after 12 on a Thursday lunchtime. It was a disaster. There was one waiter looking after the whole place and one other bloke, possibly manager of some kind, helping as well. Service was obviously slow, food, photo attached of my garlic bread which looks inedible and 2 other diners complained about their food while we were there. Slow service meant food left waiting until the waiter could get round to serving it. He did his best but 2 people only at a lunchtime, someone's trying to save money somewhere. Won't be going back....

I had booked a table with my friends for a Friday night. We were seated and ordered sufficiently. Two of us had a pizza the other the mushroom burger. The pizza wasn't done at all still white around the edges not brown and crispy. Got an extra portion of chips served on a side plate? No bowls that night I'm afraid. Waited for a second glass of wine for a long time and eventually got it. Not great food and they wouldn't accept our 33% off voucher cloud as they said their machine wouldn't accept it. Would paw on visiting again.

We popped in this morning for an early lunch and I can assure you we won't be going back again. I ordered the butter chicken burger - it was raw inside. the boys had the kids chicken nuggets- I was assured by the waiter they are pre cooked "just in case" - but I am not convinced they were cooked either. Husband had a fry up - both that and his coffee were stone cold. toilets were disgusting and the hall way/stairs up to them were littered with pieces of toilet roll. I really don't think they'd been cleaned up from last night (it not before then) totally disgusting and I would argue dangerous place to eat - here's hoping we all avoid food poisoning.

Solid diner style menu. 5 stars for amazing service in a crisis...of sorts!I called in here with my 7 year old son before enduring Despicable Me 3.Having ordered a goat's cheese and avacado wrap for myself and pasta and cheesy sauce for my son, I suddenly realised I'd got the timing wrong and had just 15 mins until the film started. I mentioned this to our waiter who immediately went to the kitchen and returned within 2 minutes with both meals! Stunning service and the food was great. Just a shame we had to rush.A big thumbs up from my lad for saving the day.

Nice and fresh breakfast and quick service. Unlimited hot drinks. Menu quite good with lots of options to choose from. Reasonable prices. Waiters quite friendly but kitchen too noisy with chefs shouting!

Very busy on arrival, but we were given a table, initially okay, took our order, we asked for my daughters starter to come with the mains but it came well before everyone elses food which took an incredibly long time to arrive, I appreciate they were busy initially but it was starting to quieten down. But then things just got worse, the staff consistently ignored us, they never did clean our table of our mains or starter plates. I had to constantly get their attention to get service, they were more interested in cleaning and getting ready to close up than serving their existing customers even though there was well over an hour until they closed. After constantly chasing I gave up on sweets and tried to get their attention to leave (our kids wanted to go to bed) but still they wouldn't come over. So we got up to leave, surprisingly then they shot over at which point I asked they cancel the sweets and just give the bill. Then they ran around for another 5 minutes not telling us what was going on and then said our sweets were ready when we were already stood up and trying to leave - I told them to take them away and bring the bill as I'd originally asked. No apology, my daughter didn't even get her sweet which should have been included for free in her childs meal. Will never go there again. Avoid - go there at your peril.

Booked a table for four for my niece's 14th birthday, at her request. My partner and I always take her and her brother out on their birthdays and try to make it as special as possible. Upon arrival, we were offered a seat by the door and I asked if we could sit away from the draught, to which they accommodated us without fault. I've said in other reviews numerous times how I always ask to be seated away from the door and it's my gauge of an establishment as to how they handle it. If they're awkward, we usually leave now, as they're then awkward for the rest of the experience. But Prezzo was more than happy to seat us further in the restaurant. I handed over the cupcakes to the lovely waitress at the start and she was prompt in taking our orders. Prezzo prices are always eye-watering but this was a special occasion and my niece specifically asked to go here, so I didn't mind so much. The food arrived and the starters were tasty, and the mains were all eaten. My pizza wasn't very nice and the waitress was more than happy to refund the entire thing, which I was very grateful for. After our plates were taken away, the waitress and several others appeared with my niece's cupcakes on a plate with 'happy birthday' written in chocolate sauce, and we all sang happy birthday. Which I thought was very kind and really thoughtful. It embarrassed my niece endlessly but my partner and I were very pleased with this type of service. Overall, I don't personally rate the food in Prezzo, especially not for the prices - BUT, the atmosphere is great, the service is even better with every staff member I've interacted with being helpful and kind, and everyone else I dine with enjoys the food. And that's what's important in my opinion. Added: I went here previously in 2023 for my father-in-law's birthday with the whole family (12+ people) and they accommodated us perfectly. Also, they're always happy to pack up any food you don't eat so you can take it home with you!

We’re staying at the hotel, which was very good! However, our festive meal was booked in this restaurant. Three courses for the best part of £40.00 Starter….was ok, basically toast with tomatoes on it! The main course - steak…..with about 8 (frozen chips), two cherry tomatoes. The steak was tiny and should have been medium rare……it was like boot leather and had no taste whatsoever. It was in a word …..pathetic. Then the peppercorn sauce, we had to remind our servers that the steak came with this…did not turn up for ten minutes after the meal was served. Desert…..Three scoops of sorbet and ice cream…..you can’t really get this wrong! Luckily, this was a work event and not paid for by me….however, this reflects badly on Marco Pierre White and can say easily the worst steak I’ve ever had……rubbish
