Visiting Swansea for the weekend from Kent. Booked a meal at Frankie and Bennys Morfa Park and so glad we did. Perfect end to a fantastic day. Delicious food and excellent service from Jack. Jack was extremely friendly and couldnt do enough for us. A real credit and asset for Frankie and Bennys. Huge thank you to Jack and everybody we met during our stay in Swansea.

Have been here two weeks in a row following emails I've received about offers. Good offers, good food and great friendly polite service from Heather on both occasions. Also nice that other people were around checking on people aswell. You can also see the chefs are always flat out working and food is always hot and tasty. My Grandmother loved it. I just wish there were more chips lol

Visited recently for a late lunch. The minute we stepped in the door, we were welcomed by a very pleasant waitress (Heather). Heather continued to provide an excellent service to our table, suggesting side dishes to accompany our meal. How she keeps so cheerful when the restaurant is busy shows her commitment to providing everyone with the best eating experience.

My son in law has had a major promotion and my daughter rang me to tell me and to celebrate invited me to Frankie and Benny's,Morfa.Swansea.There were eight of us,all family.My partner,two daughters,three granddaughters,my son in law and myself.Always thought that F@B was very commercialised so was pleasantly surprised to see how family orientated it is.The children were welcomed,colouring sheets and colouring pencils were provided which my girls loved and kept them busy until the food arrived.A really good,affordable menu for the kids and the same for the adults.Our waitress,Heather was so good,helping the kids and advising us adults about the food.I had a steak and it was stunning.She(Heather)also told us about the discounts online which you can use simply by logging on to the site.Thoroughly enjoyable experience,the kids loved it,as did we adults and we are all looking forward to going again.And a big thanks to Heather for looking after us.

Visited the Morfa Frankie and Benny’s on St David’s Day, went for a family meal. Arrived roughly around 12pm and got seated straight away, a few people in there however not too many. Our waiter was called Jack, he was friendly took our drink order straight away and brought them over to us and then took our food order, he put a meal and a starter on the lunch menu making it cheaper for us which we wouldn’t have realised if he didn’t mention it. The food was outstanding and really tasty. Excellent service that needs to be rewarded.

I attended your establishment recently, due to reviews from friends and colleagues. Partners and myself were left in a state of happiness, due to the food and especially due to the service of one of your employees, by the name of 'Jack Edwards'as I remember. He served us with respectful and proper manners, but wasn't shy to join in with friendly humour. While also maintaining a professional behaviour, looking after us and making sure our experience was that much more premium. Thank you. Bravo.

Decided to have lunch with friends as part of the celebrations for an upcoming birthday. I’d been sent a voucher to use as a birthday ‘gift’. I wasn’t able to use this ‘buy one get one free’ as we ordered from the lunchtime menu! Friends persuaded me to stay although the only reason we went was to use the voucher - very disappointing! I know the very small print says mains from main menu but still! Food pleasant - had loaded potato skins and spicy chicken as starters and we all had the cheese burger as a main. Upgraded chips with cheese and bacon were delicious. The woman serving us was very pleasant and attentive. Toilets clean but with an old fashioned slow hand dryer! The place was quiet for a Friday lunchtime. I don’t think I’ll be going back - prefer independent places to eat rather than a chain. OK though for what it is

Recently first time visited Frankie and Benny, not really my type of venue but this time did have a pleasant surprise. Food was good, and as we had living social voucher then it was really cheap, I think with the 20 pounds voucher we spend arounnd 35 pounds for 2 adults and a kid. Had 2 mains, kids menu, desert, glass of vine and 2 beers, so very good price for all we had.

We chose this restaurant because it was within walking distance. We arrived to a near empty restaurant and ordered a bottle of red wine only to be told all the wine glasses were being used by other guests all maybe 6 of them. We were given milk shake glasses to drink our red wine out of. It only got worse, service was slow, most of the food ordered was either unavailable or over cooked when delivered. My food spaghetti bolognaise went cod waiting for the Parmesan to be received, by the time it was received the food had to be sent back to be reheated. The cost if the meal was exorbitant for the poor choice and food received the spaghetti bolognaise seemed to be either out of a jar or a poor ready meal.

We were lucky. Arrived in Swansea early for the match against West Brom, called in F&B; on the off-chance of a table and as long as we finished before 2pm we could have a table. I would advise that you book a table if intending to go before a game. The ribs were great and so was the cheesecake. Blue Moon beer was also good.

Staff are polite enough, but it can be hit or miss on service. We didn't have to wait long to be seated, but had to attract the waiter's attention to place drinks and food order. Food is OK, pricey for what it is, but my order did come out wrong, and the plates were cold. Glasses were also dirty, perhaps that's why the lighting is always low!! Music is a bit loud, when it's busy it can be hard to hear the people sat with you.

Our waitress was brilliant, very attentive, dealt with one of my family's dietary needs exceptionally well.Value.

Called in here on a Friday evening, it was quite late, about 8.45, so were seated immediately as it was quite quiet.The food isn't the best, it's ok, portions are small for the price too. Staff were friendly enough but service wasn't that good. In fact I think our waitress went home after giving us our mains, so we were then just ignored. Nobody asked us if we wanted another drink, desserts etc. As our son had a child's meal a dessert was included, however as it was now approaching 10pm & no one in sight we asked for the bill & complained. They then gave us the dessert as a take away!! Will not return here in a hurry!!

The service was great thanks to the waiting staff and the food was of a good standard but that was just it, it was good not fantastic.

I don't tend to eat out much, so first visit to any Frankie and benny s, I had steak, tiny, fair bit of gristle, few chips, peppery onion rings, overpriced. My daughters basic cheeseburger was tasteless, better at MC Donald's and fifth of the price. While my sons shared meal of pizza, meatballs and chips was large, I found the pasta tasteless. Absolutely amazing staff, I hope you are nice to them because our waitress worked her legs off, totally pleasant, best customer service, however for me it will be a long time before I go to a Frankie and bennies.

We visited today on arrival we were met by Dave he showed us to our table where they took extra time to discuss our special dietary needs. Having spent some time discussing our choices it was obvious nothing was too much trouble on placing our order and drinks order we were welcomed by savannah who had a good knowledge of menu both food and drink making our selections easy and clear. The food arrived presented and tasting perfect. Can't fault the food or the drink. My dad has difficulty swallowing due to throat cancer and the staff were great recommending things and reassuring my dad he could have anything he wanted they would make. The chef even took time to prepare the ribs off the bone. I can't recommend this place too much this is one of many times I have come here and every time the staff and management have been accommodating I wish other frankie and bennys and restaurant chains would take a leaf out of their book as the experience was exceptional from start to finish. My dad has difficulty eating anywhere and to have this little gem and be able to bring him here is fantastic. Thank you to Dave, savannah, the chefs can't wait to come back. X

Hi guys. Frankie and bennys in my eyes is a nation wide money spinning machine. The food here is not upto standard of what Italian food should taste like. We had some friends over from sardinia and took them here. After leaving we asked them about their thoughts of the "italian" food to which they replied "italian, ha, what the hell was that?". The restaurant is dingy and could do with some more lighting. The staff here generally don't care about you and will happily leave you waiting for as long as possible for a table, drink orders, food orders and the food itself. Although they are very efficient when it comes time for the bill. The food is edible but expensive for what it is. If you want to save yourself the time and hassle in the future and you want tasty Italian food go to pizza vesuvio across the main road from here. Frankie and bennys; low quality food, bad service, avoid if possible.

There were a lot of children in a number of parties (at one point felt like I was in a crèche). It quitened down quite quickly and then it was a normal restaurant. I suspect we were just a bit unlucky. Overall food and service were as expected. Good, efficient and friendly and delivered our cake as requested.

Went here after a bad experience in the restaurant next door. Service, food and value for money were very very good. Not a long wait to be served or between courses. Highly recommended.

Went to this fine eatery. A group of 6. Had soup of the day for start. Divine. The waitress Rachel give us all soup jobs. For main I had a succulent steak meal. Not bad. The waitress we had for the night couldn't do enough she give fantastic lip service. Will definitely go back for the fantastic soup and service from Rachel. We was all ecstatic with the happy ending we all received. Can't wait for my next visit

Love going to F&Bs for breakfast as a weekend treat. Food is relatively quick and the staff are always great, other than the male waiter who always seems to work in the mornings at weekends. Every request, be it sauces, asking for the bill, or even taking our order in the first place seems to be a massive chore for him which he shows clearly on his face everytime I come for breakfast. I imagine he must be incredibly difficult to work with, so fair play to the rest of the staff who are always friendly and make us smile!Today as he walked past the kitchen, we heard him snap loudly at the chefs, shouting "you're not the only ones who are busy today!!". Completely unwarranted and made for an awkward meal for my table and the tables around us who all made comments on his behaviour and rolled their eyes at him too. I get the feeling that he'll read this feedback, laugh at it and it'll put him in a bad mood ready for his next shift, which I sincerly apologise to the staff, chefs and customers for.

Went here for my grandsons 9th birthday. Prior to arriving there was a problem with the fire alarms which when activated turned off the gas cookers they rang to tell us about the problem and gave us a choice to go to the wind street restaurant. Too late to let everyone know so we all met at the Morfa restaurant as arranged. The restaurant was open and an engineer on the way to sort out the problems so we decided to stay. The staff were very apologetic and gave everyone a free drink and complimentary starters which I felt was a really kind gesture. We had a lovely time my grandson really enjoyed and our meals were lovely. Well done to all the staff for managing a difficult situation so well.My only negative comment is that the lighting needs to be a bit brighter it was quite dark where we were sitting.

I visited with friends one Monday tea time. I've never been a fan of Frankie & Benny's, I've visted the other Swansea restaurant on two occasions and the service and food has bee never been upto scratch. I've visited the restaurant in Cwmbran also and again, it's the same. Customer service isn't a priority.We chose here as it was an easy meeting place for everybody to visit.We sat outside but went to the bar to order food as nobody greeted us upon entry.They were out of Archers, so I couldn't have the specific cocktail I wanted. This happened at the other restaurant - they were out of vodka; so the majority of drinks were off the menu!We waited a good 45 minutes before there was any sign of our food; but after 30 I had already returned to the bar for a re-fill of drinks. Even then, we had to wait a good 5 minutes for somebody to attend the bar and serve us - I think there were more staff than customers, but still, it took somebody ages to attend to us.After 45 minutes, I went back to the bar to chase up our order; the manager apologised and advised he'd chase this up.He returned 5-10 mins later and apologised our order hadn't reached the kitchen - and that as a good will gesture he would offer a free desert or drink refill. I took up the offer of a free desert.The food was good, but the service was shocking, and I won't attend here again - but after I submitted a complaint to the company regarding my visit they offered me a £20 voucher.I will use that to my content, and that WILL be my final visit. TGI Friday's for the win in future!

My daughters choice and it was terrible. Waiting time was poor and the food was big standard pre prepared mass produced. I am sure teenagers like this but I did not. I prefer TGIF which is in the city centre. Lots of other nicer places to try in Swansea

Sat in Frankie and Bennys watching both of my sons eat feeling frustrated and hungry. On arriving I asked the waitress for the special dietry needs menu, being vegan I wanted to check what I could eat, only to be told that while they had a gluten free menu their special dietry needs menu was only on the computer. While the waitress and the manager consulted the computer I went online on my phone and found out for myself what I could eat. The waitress came back and told me that there was only 1 item that was vegan and I had to tell her that a number of dishes were suitable and that the pizza without cheese would be ok. After confirming with both the waitress and manager that I wanted a veggie pizza without cheese, after quite a long wait they brought me a pizza with a pesto base instead of the tomato base that was on the menu, I had to inform the waitress that pesto had cheese in it so I couldn't eat it, she offered to make me another one but by this point my boys had almost finished their meals and I'd lost all confidence and the will to live. Very disappointing that while other restaurant chains and independants offer either a full on vegan menu or clearly label dishes that are suitable, Frankie and Bennys not only don't do this but they also don't educate their staff and management on what food they serve. If you have an alergy to any food types then I'd give this place a very wide berth.

Had one waitress who was very friendly and helpful and couldn't do enough to help but the bar man's social skills were very poor as was the food aswell as being totally tasteless.Wouldn't eat there again out of choice.

We asked the waitress "Why is it so dark in here?" and were dispassionately told "Because the Sun is bright outside". The fact was that the décor is drab, the service is drab and the food tastes like the 'Chef' or 'Cook' hates it and you. Overpriced for what it is, you'd have to be missing an important element in the act of digestion to eat in this establishment, your taste buds.I genuinely feel that if Frankie and Benny's actually cared about food, that the staff would care about working there. I never blame staff, I always blame their employers. Shame on you, Frankie & Benny's. You've turned what is an art to most into a money making scam.

Husband treated me today to lunch out at frankie and bennys. Waiter who showed us to table didn't seem overly friendly but waitress who came to give us menus and get our orders was extremely friendly. It was lovely and cool inside. Hubs had New York chicken and I had bacon and cheese burger with coleslaw and fries and garlic bread for side. Food was lovely and garlic bread was extremely gorgeous. We would go there again though prices are more expensive than some other places we eat out at. Overall it was a nice lunch out.

Not being one who usually complains, having waited tables in the past, I try to give the benefit of the doubt as far as I can. Unfortunately our experience tonight broke me and left my family and I very disappointed. We went out this evening for a family meal. Knowing it would be busy, being a Friday night, we were prepared to wait for a table. However what we weren't prepared for were the rude and ignorant staff that we encountered once seated.Our waitress passed by several times (at least 8) yet didn't acknowledge us even once. We were not even offered drinks until my husband spoke to someone after 20 minutes of sitting there waiting. The man my husband spoke to about taking our order was also rude (We think he was one of the management team given his attire). He rushed us to take the order and was extremely blunt and aggressive in his tone and manner. Our waitress did not check on us at all, and only seemed concerned when a manager was at the table doing the checking.Funnily enough though, when it came time to pay she was as pleasant as could be, happily explaining how to provide a tip should we wish using the card machine. Needless to say, we will not be eating here again.

Had lunch here. All very good. Food - the norm, service - quick and friendly. A good choice if you're not looking for anything too fancy. If you just after somewhere decent with good service then this is a solid choice.

Nice meal, lots of places closed so not much choice. Waiter was very friendly and accommodating. Good won't ever set the world alight but you get what you expect. I had s burger that was thick and good quality.

Booked for graduation, despite being 4 days before they cancelled my booking. Was really looking forward to it as i’ve heard good reviews from other people. However, there were structural issues that could not be avoided, due to them cancelling my booking and me paying a deposit to reserve the table they ensured i would get a refund made to the same account i paid from. With multiple calls made and no email to contact there is no response. Quite gutted as we were looking forward to it, however it should not be that difficult to refund the customers who paid in advance when they could not open.

Had a lovely dinner with my mother and Grandfather. All three of us agreed the food and service was excellent. Initially thought the prices were a bit high but it was well worth it. The lady that served us as well was absolutely brilliant.
