Staff were very helpful and polite and were joking with our children. Nice atmosphere. Their range of drinks is good and good deals for kids at a very good price.

Outrageous, tried on the off chance cause Nando’s was busy. Starters: potato skins to start were absolutely tasteless and dense/chewy, shocked at how much they tasted of nothing, my partner ordered the meatball al forno, the meatballs had a chewy piece of gristle the tomato sauce was tasteless! We were so confused how the dish had so many ingredients but lacked so bad in taste Mains: Inedible, dry, again TASTELESS!!! ordered meat feast pasta, the only meat in it was pepperoni and meatballs, when on the menu it was suppose to have n’duja, ham AND cheese. Chicken parmigiana my partner took 2 bites it was so dry and tasteless, we resulted to sending the food back and getting refund on our food. On a lighter note the lady that served us dealt with us brisk and polite. Never again.

I ordered a takeaway from Frankie and Bennys and one of the items that was sent was the wrong item. So I called the restaurant and spoke to James (the manager) who said that he would re-do the whole order plus keep all the original items at no extra cost, as long as I could come and collect the new items. I was very impressed with the way that James resolved my issue. That’s excellent customer service right there. I would like to thank James once again for resolving this issue, even better than I thought possible. Sunil

We had a reservation at 3:15 on GCSE results day because we wanted to get free pizza. The manager came out yelling at us all and was very rude, he told us to come back in an hour without providing an explanation. This meant we had to wait outside for an hour in the rain whilst very hungry. After an hour we went inside only to find out they had run out of pizza. This meant we were unable to claim the free lunch that was offered and instead had to go elsewhere. The manager was very rude and yelled at multiple of us and did not give us all the information he had, meaning we were confused the entire time. I would not recommend eating here. This did not only happen to my group but also affected the numerous other students waiting to claim their free pizza.

Visited this restaurant , as I have eaten there before,and prevoously had found the food good and service excellent. I ordered the BBQ chicken srack for £17.60 and requested a jacket potato instead of fries. The meal comes with onion rings, but only 1 was put on the plate, and the jacket potato was hard I asked for the food to be redone and more onion rings with my meal. The presntation of the meal was not apoetsing with the chicken hanging off the plate. The waitress bought 4 onion rings in a bowl to me, and redone my food. However the manager did not apologise, and I asked for a discount which was given, and a consolation drink, as by the time my meal arrived I had finished my first one. If you are not starving, and have a heavy purse then, good luck, Franky & Bennys, if not McDonald's is directly opposite and suggest you eat there.

I was looking forward to going to the cinema next door with my partner on a rare day off we had each and decided to pop in here to try it out and ended up regretting that decision. We was welcomed in by a guy at the front desk and taken to a seat. We checked they had a disabled access toilet for my partner as she is a wheelchair user and they did which is the only plus thing in this review. We were seated at a table in a restaurant that was easily less than a quarter full and did not get seen for over 10 mins, not even for drinks, I had to request someone come over as the guy on front desk was on his phone and the 2 waitresses were standing and chatting to each other. Eventually we got served but the waitress taking our order didn't even look at us whilst doing so and was looking at someone else on another table. The vegan milkshake was good and the expresso martini was below average. We both had hot dogs and the bun was dry as old leather, I left mine but my partner was so hungry she forced her way through. The actual hot dog was also dry and with the speed we was served our meal I'm sure it had been cooked a long time ago and left out to dry. Couldn't find anyone to ask for the bill so in the end a guy emerged from a back office and I said I wanted to pay, he gave the bill then asked a waitress to come and setlle up. Terrible food and diabolical customer service. Will not be returning to this establishment any time in the future.

Was extremely let down and quite confused with how bad the food was and for the price. We all ordered burgers and chips and it came out within 5 minutes which was suspect as it was and the food even came out before the drinks! The bill was wrong as well with items we hadn't ordered so had to get them removed, all in all it was a bad experience

I was in the area at lunch time on 23 Dec. I needed somewhere to eat and decided upon this Restaurant. The customer service was simply fantastic, so friendly so welcoming I dined alone ,but the staff could not have looked after me any better, the food was equally as good large portion very tasty -Chicken New York. Once I got home I could not wait to tell everyone about my great experience the staff really looked after me .

Came here today for a bite to eat and honestly I have nothing to complain about when it comes to the food. It came quickly and was honestly delicious but the waitress who was serving us she made us feel like we was bothering her just because we didn’t know what we would like to order the second we sat down. It was my first time back here in years and the menu had changed quite a bit but the waitress was acting very impatient and kept rushing us to order to the point we just picked the first thing we saw. And there was only a few other tables and plenty of other staff on so it wasn’t like she was rushed off her feet. Me and my friend both felt very disrespected and dismissed as she was acting like she didn’t even want to serve us and was coming across as very snappy. I will say the host and the rest of the staff was very nice and cheerful but if I was to come back again it would be for their food.

Hello my fellow trip advisees, I must come clean and start by admitting my dark past. I hate to say this and I am ashamed of who I once was but you have to remember I have changed and people make mistakes. My dear readers, I must admit to you that prior to my visit i was a frankie and in addition to this bennys HATER. Oh how i would cry at night simply at the thought of waking up to frankie stood at the end of my bed telling me to get a job, and benny calling me things i shall not repeat. I believe this stemmed from the fact that my second cousins pet goldfish was called benny and he once slapped me with his 20 inch fin. HOWEVER. I have to say that i was pleasantly surprised (!) when upon arrival i was greeted with a full performance of bust a move starring the one and only matthew morrison featuring frankie himself from the hit restaurant frankie and then bennys! My friends, i could NOT believe my eyes!!!!! There before me stood the love of my life, my one and only. I thought this day visit couldnt get any better. How wrong I was…. When I was flown from the door to my seat in a private jet, i was presented with the menu. The only thing on it was sainsburys own broccoli, picked fresh from the island of ligma to which i was DELIGHTED as this is my favourite place in the whole of the land and the wood. Please please please listen to me you MUST take all your families friends and school to frisnkie and furthemore beanies because it is just so good there is not a greater place to exist i promise and you can trust me because i am an honest soul. If you can dream it fronkle and banjos can do it. I hope this will inspire you to venture to the great realm of benny and franks as you woll not be disappointed! Thank yo uand goodnight.

We went here after a trip to the cinema. The food was very nice and came quickly. It was very loud, so if your looking for a quiet place to eat this is not it. The waitress was lovely as well.

Went for a meal before the cinema my wife had chicken and mushroom pasta. (Very good). However I ordered a hot dog with bacon and cheese that was truly awful. It was like a dry bit of leather that had been reheated in the microwave.

Came here Friday night around 8pm and it was really quiet. We waited best part of 20mins to get served despite there only being three other covers in the restaurant and I had to go up and get their attention as the staff seemed busy socialising. Given how long we’d been waiting we had time to memorise the menu and ordered drinks and food at the same time. To our great disappointment when ordering we were told they’d run out of mac n cheese, chorizo and also most importantly buffalo sauce so couldn’t do any buffalo wings or chicken “monkey fingers”. The buffalo wings were what we were most looking forward to. Thus a rethink to our order was required. We both ordered a Dead Hippie Burger with bacon, some chilli cheese loaded fries and a slaw to share. The burgers are good but nothing special… fairly flavoursome, however, I did think it was arguably salt heavy without the balance of flavours I’ve had with other burger joints. The bacon patties must have the best part of 2-3 grams of salt per patty. Only one gherkin in the burger seems a little stingy or could be lack of quality control. The lettuce was soggy where it’s placed at the bottom of the patties, maybe a meatliquor USP to put lettuce below the meat? If it is… Doesn’t work for me. Loved the chilli cheese loaded fries. The Fries were still crispy and the flavours and mix of toppings worked a magical combination for the tastebuds. The slaw was fresh. Could have packed a little more zing and bite but in the grand scheme of things was a solid side. The Toffee Apple Hard Shake. One word. Epic! The Angelita Margarita was also decent. Would I return to MeatLiquor? I would another branch as I’ve been Brighton before and had far better service and the whole menu was available. Would not bother wasting your time with this one if you want Buffalo wings and attentive service. Food 5/10 Drinks 9/10 Service 5/10 Menu Availability 2/10 Decor 7/10 OVERALL 5.5/10

Frankly not good enough. Paid 2.50 for 1 sausage and 2.50 for about 8 slivers of small mushrooms. The main breakfast came on a halfsize bread plate. The flavours were OK apart from the beans. The service is good. Management of breakfast sort your portion sizes out they are tiny and NOT WORTH IT
