Two of us came in for coffee and dessert. I ordered an Americano and received what was clearly a cup of instant coffee. No explanation, apology or discount. When the card reader was presented to me, I had been overcharged by £30. We won't be back.

Nice to see this restaurant busier than usual. Pasta dish was smaller than other portions I've had in other Frankie and Benny's but still tasted good. Chips were not as good quality as usual. But staff were welcoming and friendly! Would be amazing if Frankie and Benny's brought back it's vegan cookie dough, vegan carbonara and the awesome vegan chocomisu that we miss so much! :)

The launch of the new menu and it was dead with no atmosphere. The menu had little choice and the food and wine were poor, pasta was rubbery and the wine tasted like it had been watered down ( £20 per bottle) I was handed a review card at the end of the night and the waitress tried to talk me into leaving a positive review by advising she would take money off my bill if I did it there and then. We had wine so I get that my bill would have been more expensive than usual but £188 for three people is way over priced. We could have gone to a real Italian restaurant, or even London for that money. We wont be going back I'm afraid, it was poor.

Lovely customer service, very helpful and friendly :) All food came out in a timely manner, didn’t enjoy the vegan hot dog but wasn’t anything to do with cooking or service, just didn’t like the flavours. I’d recommend the sausage man vegan hotdogs if you’re interested in good ones

Do not use this restaurant, all members of our part fell ill with food poisoning approximately 3 hours after eating their, complained to restaurant three times ended up with head office, after filling out there forms and sending direct to them and tried to get a response two times, nobody give a dam from the actual restaurant to a so called manager at head office, poor customer service from start to finish, obviously food poisoning is not a problem for them.

Came for evening meal with my Parent's, 2 Younger Cousins, Nan, Step Grandad and Aunties, For my starter I had the chicken strips, they were nice, lemonade was very watery, for my main I was supposed to have the Vegan Margareta Pizza but the lady said they could only do a vegan pepperoni pizza and take the pepperoni off, when the pizza came out it was luke warm, sent it back to be reheated, then it came out black on the bottom, it was discussing, onion rings were ok, lush chocolate brownie with vegan choc chip ice cream, but the reason that the review is rated terrible is because, the music was BLASTING, a waiter miserable with us and laughing and joking with another table, half the food came out at different times, lights were switching on and off and the food looked horrible, My Step Grandad spoke to the Manager and they took my meal off the bill, I am really unhappy with my experience and will not be returning 1/10 experience

Really disappointed as food was not good value and really not alot of choice. Compared to other resturants not many vegan options at all. At least one vegan milkshake,but why only one flavour? Food was ok. Staff friendly though. Used to go and enjoy but won't be rushing back after this visit as better resturants

Family visit for a catch up and a bite to eat, my husband and myself are vegan, had a nice few choices for us, I didn’t fancy a meal as such, so went for the vegan garlic pizza bread with vegan cheese, and the loaded lava fries yum! Very tasty, husband went for the vegan dog, ( I don’t do fake meat) neither does he normally, but he gave the vegan dog a go, he said it was very tasty and he would definitely go for this option again, the lady that served us was lovely, all in all the quick visit was very nice experience, and will definitely return.

Absolutely disgusting food was cold and chips looked like they had been cooked two days ago. Four chefs standing around not doing much and they can’t even produce a hot plate of food! My teenage some had the steak with about 10chips I’d give a baby more than that. Only good thing that arrived on my plate was the pattern painted on it. I will never go there again and never recommend it to anyone else! All fours of the chefs in there need to hang up their aprons and go do something they can actually do! Very very disappointed is an understatement

Absolutely fantastic trip out. The food was delicious and despite to the restaurant being packed , with almost every table being booked as it's Halloween. Kinga was charming, attentive and always had a smile and reassured us that despite the appearance of the restaurant no task was too big for her to do. The new items on the menu were extraordinary as well, with the Mac and cheese bites having to the perfect balance between hot and cool notes and the chilies on the dirty dog really pack a punch! The staff were dressed up to or Halloween was a lovely touch as well. Last time a lovely lady named Maria made our experience the absolute best so I knew I was going to have a great time but last night the service was above and beyond and overall a lovely end to the half term!11/10

I have avoided F&Bs for years now because it went very downhill. But after visiting a neighbouring restaurant that was closed we had limited options and it was this or go hungry. Thank goodness for we went! We had fantastic service and food from Marie and as a result went back today. I’m on a health kick and wanted something that wasn’t fried. So swapped the chips for veg and salad. OMG Aiden whipped up the most delicious main I’ve had in who knows how long. Marie was there again today with her 5 star service and warm welcome. Well done F&Bs. You’re smashing it.

Used to like frankie and bennies but haven't eaten there for a few years.Food arrived within minutes of ordering which was suspicious. Burger and fries, 2x chicken/bbq pizzas and chicken carbonara. Very poor quality processed chicken on the dishes and the carbonara/burger tastes like cheap microwave food. This it probably was considering how quick it was served. This just is not good enough quality for dishes that are £12-14 for a mains, the quality is better in wetherspoons and u get a pint with it for 2 thirds of the price. Rochester restaurant is very run down, the service was good though. Will not go back again.

We ordered from here, we did not dine in. Disappointed with our food. The vegan garlic bread with mozzarella had too little mozzarella poorly spread out, with most of it in one corner. It didn't taste of garlic at all, was just mostly plain chewy bread. The Jackfruit wings are delicious but very spicy, but the spice wasn't advertised on the online menu. I can't eat spicy food because of gastro issues, and was disappointed it wasn't made clear on the menu. The velvet cookie dough didn't taste like velvet at all, was a very small portion for the price and didn't come with the honeycomb on top. It was maybe a centimeter deep and tasted like store brought brownies.

Had a great evening in between movies at Rochester - F&B food delicious is a given. The delightful service from our server Kinga was exceptional. Kind and considerate - she cleaned an outside table whilst we waited and sorted drinks, went out of her way to sort our inside table as quick as possible and then took our order and delivered all with more than a smile. We interacted with a booth next to us and we all agreed she was great! Amusing and personable. If there is an employee reward… she deserves it!

The service was great and the starter was delicious but the main course was disappointing. I am a coeliac so ordered from the gluten free menu and ordered a pasta dish. The pasta was really hard and tough so I sent it back. I was cooked a fresh dish but the pasta was only slightly softer. The flavours of the dish were delicious but the the pasta wasn’t cooked properly. We only ate here due to the accreditation from Coeliac UK as I know I would be able to have a safe meal but I won’t be going back as it was such a disappointing meal.

Just had a bad experience at Frankie and Benny’s in Rochester -I took my sons there for lunch and we had booth seating in front of the open kitchen.The moment I sat down I felt something sharp scratched my leg then I put my hand under my seat to check and realised it was actually a knife tucked under the seat. The waiter and the manager came, they removed the knife and apologised. But my son was extremely upset, he couldn't understand why people would do things like this to hurt people. Luckly I've only got a scratch. My 11 years old son asked the manager if the camera above our seat is operating? The manager replied yes, he said he will look into it only to brush my son off (My contact details was not taken) The manager didn't bother to come over once to check on us or offer us anything to better our experience at the restaurant. Not a penny was deducted from our bill (except for the government help eating out scheme)Me and my sons will not be returning to Rochester brunch and please look under your seats for sharp objects when you visit.My husband was angry on how we were treated. He went to the restaurant and complained to the manager (Peter Swist) then he offered my husband to filled in the incident form for me and a paper discount card 50% off for our next visit. No thanks, I will certainly not visit again with my sons even is for free.

Ate here a yr ago was lovely food and service great. Returned tonight same table 63 at 5pm for not the same Quality of food let alone the 2-3times of hearing happy birthday which we have no problem with and think its nice places still do this but the sheer volume it was cranked up to was quite frankly obscene to the point our food turned up we couldn't even hear our server and our 3 week old baby was woken up this does not need to be played at this stupid volume we saw many customers looking up at the speakers because of how loud it was. Anyway for the food We had 4 starts to start 2x calabrian wings meant to be hot but not at all tasted more just like bbq sauce and that's for wat sauce you could taste due to the lack of...garlic pizza bread with mozzarella well just say there was enough flour stuck to the bottom to make another pizza bread...mains, my Mrs had the meatballs stated new recipe clearly not.improved as it turned up looking anemic the sauce was so watery it was all sat on bottom of bowl rather than over the pasta and meatballs... i had the double burger which turned up burger and chips positioned on plate with a huge gap on the rest of the plate like there was something missing but clearly there wasn't so not being funny why not ad a few more chips as there wasn't really that many to start to at least look like the meal I'm paying £17 is worth the while rather than wondering what's missing overall burger wasn't dry but at the same point not a huge amount of flavour even with there signature sauce. I had the taste card which for 3 people 241 how it still came to £70+ after we couldn't work out all in all i think we will be giving this establishment a wide birth as it quite frankly for what you pay the quality does not shine through shame compared to a yr ago.

Came here on the 18th with my family. Have moved out of the area but were visiting family and used to come here all the time. Things have most definitely changed. Didnt even look like F&B's anymore? Whats with the cheap decor? The queue was out the door, staff were running about all over the place. There didnt seem to be any door host or any sort of organisation with the queue of people just left to queue and let the cold air in. We couldnt even get a drink at the bar as it was heaving and there seemed to only be one barmaid on. We eventually got seated near the kitchen but kept our coats on as the queue at the door seemed never ending. We were missing some food and were told it wouldnt be long..... but it never arrived (garlic bread) there was a lot of staff standing by the kitchen not doing very much, although there was a lot of food there? I could see an argument between a waitress and the chef in the red. She looked upset and he just looked smug, I did ask her was she ok? Basically a farce of a night we didnt enjoy, missing food, most of it not very hot and the first time Ive ever eaten out with my coat on!! Wont bother going back, it clearly nothing like it used to be, mores the shame!

I went in for a coffee after a trip to the cinema an although we were greeted promptly and pointed towards the bar for our drinks, that's when it all went South. I went to the bar and the young lady finished serving her previous customer then just walked off. She didn't even acknowledge that I was there. I waited for a moment or two, thinking that she must have gone to serve someone, then saw her sitting at a table on her phone. Needless to say we walked out at that point and went to Chiquito's where we were seated and served promptly. Certainly won't be going back to F+B's

went last night with my son for the first time in a few years and had a group-on voucher which was £19.00 for 2 people supposedly for 2 starters and 2 mains. was told by the waitress that there were no Pizza and that half the menu was not available, and that we would have to pay extra for sides. The menu was already limited so my son had the chicken wrap (which was cold) and i had a stake which was overcooked. This was 4 o'clock and there were about 6 people in so i'm not sure why the waitress was just rude and not accommodating at all. The place has gone down hill and is not warm or welcoming and the atmosphere was depressing along with the staff and the menu choice. Waste of money and wont be going back.

Visited here today, haven’t been here for a while and instantly noticed a massive difference . This place doesn’t have the same feel as and look as it did ! The atmosphere, decor ( no more America diner feel ) , no music , scruffy looking staff . Most expensive meal on the menu ( mixed grill ) was chargrilled. It seems to have lost a lot of its original quality’s . Don’t get me wrong I know it’s a chain restaurant and basic foods but it’s drastically gone down hill . There are constantly sending special offer emails through and know we can see why ! We definitely won’t be returning.

Booked this restaurant for my sons birthday. Called to make the reservation as wanted to make sure of certain seating due to mobility issues. On arriving at the restaurant we was taken to a booth which I had specifically said on phone we didn’t want!! The restaurant had the atmosphere of a school canteen it was terrible!! The food was ok at best, the portion sizes wasn’t big & the food was badly presented on the plates. The waitress had a bad attitude & you got the feeling she was just hurrying so she could go home. My husband ordered the cheesecake sundae as desert & what arrived was cheesecake on a plate with sauces in little pots. When my husband spoke to the waitress saying the order was wrong she became very defensive trying to blame my husband for the wrong order. She took the food away to change for correct order & brought back a big mess - it looked like the cheesecake on the previous plate had been taken & stuffed sideways into a sundae glass & the gaps has been filled with a bit of ice cream - part of the advertised elements to this desert where missing!! I ordered the Apple pie which comes with cream & ice cream. What they fail to tell you is that the side of ice cream & custard are no bigger than one dessert spoonful of each & to make matters worse the custard was as cold as the ice cream. The whole night was a complete letdown!! I will not be using this restaurant again!!!

Took 8 family members before bowling. It was relatively early about 4:40pm and the place was really quiet. The staff were welcoming and quickly got us seated. I was surprised at how long the meal took given most come before or after something fixed like a cinema visit etc but it wasn’t unreasonably long about 1:45hr in the end for two courses. Food was good, but portions a little on the small side for me leaving me a little hungry rather than stuffed. Overall will visit again

I always go here a couple of times a month with my son. Its not usually my favorite place but my son loves it. We were greeted immediately by Bobby who explained some things were off the menu today and seating was limited. We decided to stay anyway. Just wanted to say the atmosphere was totally different than when we’ve been before, (Ive never bothered with a review here.) Service was the best we’ve ever had, lots of new things on the menu. So friendly and relaxed, looked like only a few staff but nothing was too much trouble. Only wish the stand in staff were permanent! Well done Bobby and team, you make a huge difference with your great friendly personalities!

Won’t be going back! This used to be a nice place to go and eat but not anymore. Ordered steak and chips and a chicken salad. There were about six chips on the plate and a few boiled mushrooms. Just looked really poor! The chicken salad still had loose bits of chicken skin on. Don’t expect decent portions of food here anymore. The service was good but the food was pretty dire.

We visited F&B;’s after it had been a family favourite for years (over 10 years ago). Now it just seems to have completely gone down hill - ordered New Yorker BBQ Chicken and BBQ ribs. Photos speak a thousand words... sent back the chicken and was told could order something else, but was past it by then. Don’t know what’s happened, but this confirmed it has completely changed since years ago when it used to be such a lovely family, atmospheric with good food place. So disappointing!

We decided to eat lunch away fo. Diggerland to give the kids a break. They loved it. And they especially loved the chocolate milk drink, part of kids menu. I had salad while one had pizza and the other hadBBQ ribs. Service was fairly quick and attentive. Would definitely return.

Took us 10 minutes and a calculator to figure out the best deal after deciding what we wanted to eat. Service was good but a little slow but place was very busy - Saturday night. Food average, hot and nice but nothing amazing.

When ordering they didn't have the pasta dish or the vegan burger I wanted or the banoffee waffles which I think is ridiculous on a Friday night, my son told them it was his birthday and all they said was oh right no happy birthday or how was your day he was so upset

Booked a table for 4 people. Arrived seated . Friendly staff. Ordered starters and mains . Starters all ok . 3 out of the 4 ordered chicken. When the meals came out, the chicken was cold in the centre . Waiter fantastic apologised and replaced all 3 meals immediately no fuss . When the 3 meals came back out all pipping hot. Puddings were great. We were given a reduction on our bill. Will visit again just might avoid the chicken .

This restaurant has gone downhill over the last few years. We used to come here often (at least once a month) but the food is now overpriced and portion sizes are measly amounts for what you have to pay. I ordered a black and blue cheeseburger which was missing fillings and the portion of chips was pathetic. I complained when I received it and the chef did remake the meal and give me more chips but I shouldn’t have to ask, it should already be served that way. Unfortunately I won’t be visiting again.

Dinner and cinema was the plan tonight! Almost didn’t happen, we booked here for 7pm got sat straight away! And drink order was taken and delivered quickly, Good start then down hill, we was waiting 15 minutes then had to prompt a different waiter to ask if we could place our order, for which he apologised and did so, in between times we had already seen him talking to another couple who had been waiting for food but he said to them he was sorry but didn’t know what the kitchen was playing at! And said they could leave with no charge for drinks which they did as them like ourselves had cinema bookings.. which made us very nervous but we stayed nearly an hour later our food arrived, the food was good as always is from your restaurants but so disappointed by the service it wasn’t busy either so I don’t know if there was a further problem behind the scenes but we saw so many people unable to wait and leave, also we was hoping to have dessert and a few more drinks but after being in there 1hour 45 mins we just had enough time to eat dinner

Training in customer care and service is much needed. We visited as a family for a meal the night before a wedding. Despite a table being pre booked we arrived to find no table available. Food orders were wrong with guests served the wrong meals. One server was rushed off her feet while we observed 3 male staff stand with their two arms the one length of themselves. It wasnt my event but frankly was embarrassing for the family. Have looked at other reviews since and the only ones that seem to be posted on their website are the positive ones whilst other sites are showing that not all is well at this restaurant. Really, a visit from Gordon Ramsey is needed to sort this place out

It was my daughters 13th birthday and she chose to go to Frankie & Benny’s to celebrate. The food was appalling. Fair enough the place was busy, but a certain level of service and quality needs to be maintained! The service was fine, I actually feel sorry for the staff having to endure serving rubbish and then absorbing the subsequent complaints. The starter was greasy and inedible, then when the mains came my daughters mashed potato was as cold as it just coming out of the fridge. My chips were cold and the ‘new’ chicken burger looked like a car crash. Some bits were deducted from the bill but I refused to pay for the rest as it was so poor. If this is the ‘new menu’ as some describe, then I suggest either go back to what you know or find another chef as something is miles away from how things should be. The chicken burger pictured was ‘new’ and cost £12.99, no pride in appearance, cold chips and not worth £1.29! Approach with caution!! If I could rate 0 out of 5 I would have done.

Decided to give this a go as they are advertising a new menu. Well we were impressed with the menu and the food we ordered was very tasty. We enjoyed the ambience and the staff were attentive to our needs. I also had a taste card and we received two for one which was great. This was a really good meal with excellent service.

Just had a lovely lunch in Frankie & Benny’s with a friend which was perfectly air conditioned on a hot day like today. We both had the cod & chips which was delicious with fresh, crispy batter. The service was excellent, both our waitress and a gentleman called Sean were very helpful and pleasant. I would thoroughly recommend it.

Me and my partner are gluten intolerent so we decided to give Frankie and Bennys a try and were delighted to see they cater to our dietry needs. Our waitress was called Marie who was excellent. She had a bubbly personality and we both appreciated her enthusiasm and recommendations. She was attentive and was always available and checked back to see if everything was alright. The food was amazing and made even better as it was prepared very quickly. My partner often go to certain restaurants where the food takes far to long but this was not the case here. I would definately recommend their new menu and will certainly be back

All four of us had to send our food back because it was cold and uncooked in the middle. The food was returned after being put into a microwave burning our mouth's. Music was to lound my daughter who younger than me said it was like being in a nightclub.

Used to be one of my favourite places to eat. Has been updated & it is so loud in there were the music is low and not in keeping with the 60s theme it used to be. Service extremely slow with not many guest in there. Mother in laws steak was mainly grissel & unable to chew. Everything is very greasy with the grease all over the plate. When we complained about the salad all we got was do u want something else even though we had basically finished.! Will not be returning food awful restaurant noisy & horrible atmosphere.

Today I went to lunch with my friends to Frankie and Bennies and we were served by Claudia who in turn very friendly and advised us the new black and blue burguer. Everything was very good as always and the burguer is very delicious by the way. I pass by here to thank for the service and the sympathy of Claudia.

firstly we waited 25 minutes for our drinks to arrive i was feeling quite cold then a member of staff opened a door near to were we were sitting, and put a chair there to keep it open people next to us put there coats on we didn't have coats, we had to ask a member of staff to close the door which she did . The starter was fine then another long wait for the main meal witch arrived minus the side order of onion rings and chilli chips our waitress was nowhere to be seen when when we managed to get her attention we reminded her that our side orders were missing, by this time my husband had finished his meal.another wait for the chilly chips still no onion rings by this time i had also finished my meal we were still looking for our waitress eventually the waitress come to our table and i ask were the onion rings were,she said she had not been given them that she had cancelled them as she had ask for them several times but had not been given them. I couldn't believe what she had said ,she had decided to cancel our onion rings with out even discussing it with us . Then at the end of the meal the waitress ask if very thing was ok and had we enjoyed our meal,i replied no we had waited a long time for our meal didn't get our mains with our side order the service was extremely slow and the waitress was very complacent about it and said it wasn't her fault she wasn't given the whole order .I said it was the worst dining experience i have ever had, and i wouldn't be returning .

Just never open. Closes whenever it feels like it and always out of ingredients. Staff are lovely and they make some nice sandwiches but not being open at peak times is wild.

How much you like this pub depends on how you feel about spending £28 on a, generally excellent, pint and a burger and chips. (You can get the basic burger, chips and beer for about £21, but the speciality stuff is more). The atmosphere is a slightly weird mix of indie pub, expensive burgers and 17 huge TVs showing sport. But nothing bad about it. I think it's a nice place. Good beer, good food, nice staff. It's just it would literally be cheaper to buy the same sort of thing in London, and Rainham High Street is not London.

Really good food and an interesting mix of burgers and Mediterranean and Mexican. Great service and they play laurel and Hardy films (without the sound) on the screens.
