Bit boring. Ok burger, nothing special, It feels like a helium balloon with half the air missing. You think it must have been quite impressive at some point, but not when I was there.... Also when the restaurant has the word friendly and Phil in the title, I dont expect to meet a guy called Phil but anticipate the staff would be a bit more lively.... They were not..... On a scale of dead to TGI Fridays they were a 3......

Visited for a birthday dinner for 10. Service was friendly. 3 waitresses kept checking on us to make sure we are ok. Bottomless drinks were refilled quickly. Food was nice. £14 for a burger is fairly top end but it did taste nice so that is ok. The ribs were also nice. I since found out that you can get substantial discounts from groupon. That would make a difference and much better value for money. Saying that, it will deter clients paying full price. Even without promotion, it was ok and I will return. There is a big car park right in front of the restaurant. The atmosphere was good as is the decor. Pleasant meal.

Stopped in Friendly Phil’s for a late breakfast before Christmas shopping at Whiteley. It wasn’t very busy and we were shown by a friendly waitress to a booth by the window. The service seemed to be pretty efficient however the problems started when my bacon and scrambled eggs with a muffin arrived. I had specifically asked for the bacon to be well done but what turned up had hardly been shown the frying pan and was decidedly “rare”. I pointed this out to the waiter who promptly took the plate away returning 5 minutes later with now rather better cooked bacon but the plate swimming in liquid to the extent that the muffin was soggy. I pointed this out too and again the plate was taken away. After a rather longer wait of maybe 10 minutes (by which time my co-diners had finished their food) a new plate of food arrived everything this time cooked and presented the way it should have been the first time. So eventually they got it right but it was a bit of a mission. I won’t be hurrying back.

Just had cheese burger and sweet potato fries. Both the burger and fries were piping hot and very tasty. I expected a small portion but the chips were plentiful and the burger was huge. Would definitely recommend and would 100% return. Also had churros and a brownie for dessert which were perfect. The sauce that came with the churros was so delicious. We were served by a wonderful lady called Renata who was very polite and attentive to us.

The food at the Whiteley branch of Friendly Phils was distinctly underwhelming. The burger patty was black and crunchy in places where it was so overcooked, and the burger bun had blackened edges from being burnt. Salad garnishes on the plate and in the burgers contained brown edged wilted lettuce. They got the orders wrong for one person on our table. We then had to experience a female member of staff and a male chef uttering expletives and discriminatory terminology when loudly discussing a customer who was at the next table to us - because that customer had asked about allergies. We felt very uncomfortable listening to that. I think the woman doing this was the manageress because she was the only one not wearing an apron and appeared to be telling others what to do. The staff didn't give time to read the menu before 3 of them came to the table within about 10 seconds of each other - their impatience was quite palpable. the woman who I think is the manageress actually huffed at us when we asked for more time before ordering. There was a query at one of the tables near us - the woman who I think is the manageress started yelling at those people from about 5 feet away. Then she went to their table again and started bellowing at them. We also found that behaviour very uncomfortable to witness. One of the waitresses continually fiddled with the pony tail in her hair, then did not wash her hands before handling plates of food. Another waitress used a cloth to wipe down a table, then went straight to the chef station and picked up two plates of food to carry to customers, also without washing her hands first. I also saw a waitress 'huff' onto a glass and buff it with her apron before filling it on the drinks machine and carrying it to another table. The tables were quite dirty and we had to wipe food off the seats before we could sit. The cutlery was filthy with lumps of dried food on. A lamp next to our table had a thick layer of dust on it. The toilets were also dirty. In the ladies toilets there was an industrial sized toilet roll placed on the edge of the sink - which had what looked like dried faeces on ! The sink itself was filthy with lots of soggy tissue in it, and the floor was wet. The toilets smelled like there was a drain problem. The whole experience was quite unpleasant - needless to say we left much quicker than we had anticipated - and will not be returning. This is probably the worst restaurant I have been to in this decade. They certainly donlt live up to their name of "friendly".

Took my daughter and grandson for lunch. Ordered two salads and waited 25 minutes. Took one look and saw that the salad was old. brown spots and mushy underneath. Eventually flagged down the waitress and told her to take it away as eating stagnated salad leaves wasn't healthy. No time for anything else so just asked for the bill for our drinks. She only removed one salad from the bill as apparently salad is meant to be brown! I refused to pay and left. Staff never apologised and were rude. Avoid !!

Went for lunch today with some friends and our children. The service was very slow and certainly wasn't friendly, our waitress didn't crack a smile the entire time we were there. The food was mediocre. My daughter had garlic bread to start with looked dry and I saw no evidence of garlic butter. I had the halloumi wrap for a main course and I struggled to find any halloumi amongst the masses of lettuce. We had to ask for dessert menus but gave up waiting to order a dessert so just asked for the bill when we eventually managed to get someone's attention.

My daughter & I were the second group of the day, arriving 5 minutes after opening. Our order was taken within 10 minutes and the lovely waitress pointed out a meal deal we had missed! Breakfast took quite a while to arrive considering only 4 tables were in use, but we weren’t in a rush so enjoyed our drinks. The cookies & cream shake was delicious!

After spending a day with our 2 grandchildren at Longleat we took them to friendly Phil's for evening dinner. Both the atmosphere and food was brilliant and I strongly recommend the Philly cheese steak sandwich which was the best we have had outside the USA. Follow this down with a John Adam's beer for an authentic taste of America. The deserts are worth trying as well. We all had a great time and it made a fantastic end to a fantastic day.

We were sat finally after waiting at the door for 10 minutes (the restaurant was not busy at all) and the waitress took 20 minutes to even ask for our drinks order let alone food.

We had our son’s birthday dinner here today. The food for the children was awful - small portions and quality not great. The service was terrible - so much so that I ended up taking our orders myself and giving them to the waitress. We then got asked to be a little quieter - hard when you have twelve 5- 7 year olds and they’re hungry! At no point were we ever approached by a waitress for them to take our order and I had to do this for dessert too.

We went here for a family lunchtime. The food was average at best, nothing spectacular but the service was absolutely appalling. The restaurant was busy as you would expect during school holidays but the service was not up to par, and we felt ruined our visit. We had to get up to get the waitresses attention at every point during the meal, to take our drinks order, to put our food order in, to get desert menus, to get the bill etc. What is entirely laughable is the 10% service charge they added to our bill because there was 6 of us, the 6th person in our group was a 2 year old! We won't be coming back or recommending.

So decided to go here for a treat for mother's day ordered at 12.05 lunch didn't arrive until 13.00 had to ask if it was coming out as I realized that the other tables that order well after us were already served and actual finished! The staff members were nice but not sure they told us the truth saying ours was actually next? The food itself was nice except one of the burgers see picture was lacking in sauce!The time it took has made me score this visit poorly. I was expecting a great service but was dissatisfied wth the wait time! But on a positive which has made the score raise a little they gave us 20% off!

Went here for breakfast earlier today, very average. The bacon was clearly cooked on the surface of the sun, crispy would be an understatement. The mushrooms resembled something you'd be annoyed at stepping in. Eggs were good, pity about the cold toast, really cold. The staff were nice enough, service was slow! All in all a very average if somewhat overpriced breakfast.

Burger is ok but not up to the standard of other trendy burger places. I did have a good time here and it was nice to spend time with my 3 yr old daughter - I treated her to banana and nutella pancakes! The staff were freindly and good with her. My one wish would be free refills on coffee. I'd finished my coffee before my food came but really didn't want to spend on another 1/2 drinks during my visit. Would also add to the American diner feel.

Came here for lunch today and had a lovely meal. Service and waiters were quick, prompt and very helpful. Waitress assured me that all gluten free foods are cooked separately to foods containing gluten. (Although they cant promise anything). I had a gluten free chicken burger and sweet potato fries, chicken was slightly dry but nothing a bit of mayo can’t sort out. My partner had the all day breakfast which was presented amazingly, and he really enjoyed it! slightly over priced but for a nice lunch out as a treat wasn’t too bad. Not a lot of gluten free options but there are a few, vegetarian options also available.

American diner themed restaurant. We visited at a quiet lunchtime when it was pretty much empty, still took a while for food to arrive which raises hopes it is cooked to order.We had a Groupon deal which reduced the cost quite nicely. Wait staff were friendly and efficient, burger was decent if not great, with generous portions of our side orders. We chose chips and onion rings and shared them between us. Milkshakes looked good but mine had only a hint of banana, the supposed flavour. All very clean but a little underwhelming.

We went here this morning. There were four of us... two adults and two children. I was amazed at the value of the menu for the kids. £5 and that included a starter, main, dessert and drink. My husband and I had burgers and we weren't disappointed... amazing taste and quality. Overall, great value for what you get. The side orders were generous! The thing that will make us come back, a part from the excellent food, was the attitude of the staff. All staff from start to finish were incredibly polite and went the extra mile, coming outside (where we were sitting) and chatting to my children. Going out with young kids can be expensive and stressful... this place made it easy. Thank you for an amazing lunch and genuine service with a smile. Oh and the toilets were great too!

This review is going to be unusually short for me as we sampled only a limited section of the menu for a quick lunch. To be honest, the Friendly Phil's branding is a bit of commercial acrobatics as the Whiteley outlet replaced a Dean's Diner owned by the Richoux Group when they reorganised in 2017. Friendly Phil's is part of the same group.

My wife was insistent on trying Friendly Phil's for dinner today though I was initially skeptical. It turns out I was wrong. I had a Deep South burger with fries, she had the Pulled Pork burger with onion rings. Both were large and tasted great. We had our two kids with us and the kids menu is actually very good value for money. They get a starter, main, dessert and drink all for a fiver each, and they're decent sized portions.

Went to friendly phils as they had a nice sunny table at the front of the restaurant and with two young children a diner is an easy choice. Unfortunately the burgers were horrible, no flavour, very dry and so solid they were difficult to bite and chew. I expected more from a Diner themed restaurant especially as the pricing I thought was quite high. Definitely won’t visit again. I’m giving 2 stars rather than 1 as the staff member was very friendly and I thought the children’s menu was a good price though a little more choice would be good.

We turned up during a busy lunch hour in the summer holidays and asked for seating for 12. They accommodated us, as requested, split over three tables - 4 adults in one booth, 6 children in the next booth, and two older children on a separate table. Every request was listened to, they made time to make sure everyone was sorted and happy - and thrilled the older two children by serving them separately, making them feel happily grown up, while discretely checking the adults gave permission for everything ordered. According to the receipt we were served by David - thank you for taking out all the stress of feeding 8 kids in the summer holidays! £100 for the 12 of us - bargain!

We booked our table online and on arrival the waitress had already laid our table, complete with candle and wine glasses. It was almost like she was expecting us. An odd thing to say I know given the fact we booked beforehand, but it was quite refreshing to feel so welcome. As opposed to other establishments where you're greeted by a grunt.

Impromptu stop on Saturday night for a family meal. Whiteley Village has a few restaurants but they are the usual chains so we decided to try this place instead. Greeted by friendly staff and quickly seated in a good sized booth. Drinks order was quickly served, a good choice of soft drinks, shakes and alcohol- soft drinks are bottomless which was ideal for the kids. My wife and I ordered the chicken combo to share - a whole roast chicken served with 4 sides. The chicken was well cooked, lightly spiced and very succulent. Sides were good sized portions and also well cooked. Both kids had chicken burgers with a variety of toppings and 2 sides each. All the food was very well cooked and served promptly by friendly waiters. So much food that we couldn't fit in a dessert!

Today six of ate here... 5 meals arrived the 6th had been forgotton so that arrived when the rest had finished eating... I ordered half a chicken presumed it was as stated just half a chicken, however when it arrived it was covered in BBQ sauce, which I would never have chosen, apparently I did have a choice something the waitress omitted to tell me and chose for me... Every complaint was met with shrugged shoulders... Every restaurant I have eaten in comes as a meal but not here, everything has to be ordered separately... In comparison to the other fantastic restaurants in Whiteley this was well over priced even with good service... The restaurant only had about 5 tables in so it wasn't even busy.... In my opinion there are many great restaurants in Whiteley, but this is definitely one to avoid....

Visited Saturday late morning for Brunch - first impression from outside was good, and inside was much approved on previous restaurant. Warmer feel to the restaurant. However service was slow, and when coffee arrived the latte had to be returned as it wasn't hot, which resulted in another wait. When the breakfasts arrived both tasted and looked good, but toast had to be returned as bread was not toasted, and poached eggs were luke warm. Overall it was OK, pricey compared to other outlets when you also consider they offer unlimited refills on coffee too which Phil's don't. Finally, service with a smile would be good. Would give it another try though.

I took my 3 daughters here for lunch after visiting the cinema & shopping. Practically empty so seated straight away and orders taken soon after. Staff looked bored and were not particularly welcoming!

We popped in on a Sunday lunch time and were so impressed with the menu and the service! The free refill son soft drinks make a difference too! Food was scummy and we'll definitely be back!

A group of 9 of us attended earlier today, the loss of 1 star was due to how long it took the food to come, despite us sending our order through before we attended and called them to clarify.

We went here midweek at lunchtime with our baby and took advantage of the deal, and we were very glad we did. Good honest food, the veggie (falafel) burger was lovely and the staff (Romana ? And Audrey) were very friendly. Unlimited soft drinks too. High chairs for babies. Great value for money

Visited here for the first time on Friday evening. The food was quite good but the place didn't have the best atmosphere. The staff were not very friendly and nobody came to check out food was ok. I wouldn't rush back in a hurry but the food was OK just nothing special.

Had a great breakfast here. The place itself is lovely and very clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The food was wonderful - just the right amount on the plates. The milkshakes are just to die for - so yummy.

We visited the restaurant on Saturday. The restaurant looks much better then it was as a Deans Diner. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Good service, good food I could just recommend this restaurant, we definitely will come back.

Me and my wife visited phils 27th june 2017. The staff were so friendly . The soft drinks were unlimited and one would appear as soon as you finished one . The chicken fillet burger with blue cheese and bacon was tastiest burger i have had for a while. The sides chips with bacon and cheese yum yum and corn on cob ( fresh corn a real rare thing usually frozen ) delicious . I ended things with a stack of pancakes fresh and amazing . All in all we will be back .

We usually visit the fareham branch for family occasions and we always have a good experience. This time we saw that the manu had changed and some of our fave items had been removed. Please bring back a hotdog and grilled chicken burger. It doesnt have to all be fried.

This place is my favourite because all the staff are lovely and helpful, i go through the drive through at least once a day to get my one shot latte and sometimes with a friend i sit in and the latte is amazing
