The best restaurants serving American food in West Midlands

Have had drinks here quite a bit lately, but haven't eaten here in about a decade. Still just as good. Visited on a busy Saturday evening. Ordered food (and drinks) at the bar. Prices are incredibly cheap! (Chicken wrap with fries only £6.50!) Seated in the side section next to the garden which was nice with the fairy lights. Food was delivered quickly, was hot, and tasted good. And staff were really friendly and seemed genuinely happy to be there. I don't usually go for bar food, but for Loft I'll make the exception every time. It's a great place to start off a night out before bar hopping down Hurst Street, or as an evening out by itself.

You live and learn I guess. These are definitely relying on old reviews. Check the names from the 5 star reviews 😒 We Just came from here me and the wife. Fancy food titles on the menu, it looked great, we ordered then we Waited 30 min for food after we had ordered. At 25 min waiting they bought out apparently free nachos which were dry and soggy. Food then came and wasn't great at all, was actually terrible. Definitely shop bought patties and not fresh. Wife didn't eat half hers and left her coleslaw as she said that don't taste right at all. I took the chicken off my burger as that didn't taste right either. He came out asked us how our food was and from our reply he said, IF ITS NOT COOKED RIGHT ILL GO DO ANOTHER 1 😅🤣. WHAT!!!!. When we went to pay he said can we hang on while he adds it up. It was 2 orders that came to around £31 but was now £36.50 they added the apparently free nachos. We didn't want to argue over a few pound so I paid and we left. Hopefully not with the squits. I'd avoid this place and I think food and hygiene should be pay a visit.

Cold and Windy New Year’s Eve pitstop, Carrot Cake Donut (epic!) a flat white and a comfy sofa - perfect! Better value than most of the places on the main drag, but perfectly located by the short stay car park.

Lovely food, great service..the best cakes .

Standards have gone well down it's an shame because I love this place I hope it's gets better

Standard spoons, want cheap fast quick this is the place to go. Plenty of seating.

Person who took our order seemed to be elsewhere, which was proved when we both received the wrong meals. She had gone home by this time, the server apologised and offered to get us the right ones but kept saying it would be a long wait. So we kept what we had and he reduced the bill. Had to keep reminding them we had refillable drinks too.

I have always loved a F &B’s breakfast so we went there this morning for breakfast for my husband’s birthday. However, unfortunately the menu has completely changed and they no long offer a traditional English breakfast (bacon/sausage/beans etc.) It is also much more expensive. I have no idea why F &B would change this but I’m afraid it is certainly misguided and I feel many people will stop going for breakfast at least. The choice now does not resemble an English breakfast and I know it is an American/Italian restaurant but I do feel that you need to offer people what they love. The staff were amazing and I felt so sorry for them as we decided to leave breakfast and to go to Willow which did a gorgeous traditional breakfast. I do hope Frankie and Benny’s reconsider this terrible decision.

Very disappointed with my recent visit here. Had to wait a very long time for our drinks,had to wait even longer for starters & then there was an even longer wait for our mains. The reason is because this restaurant prioritises online orders. Time & again Deliveroo or Ubereats people were coming in to collect orders that were all stacked up in the kitchen area. Meanwhile the people in the restaurant who had gone out if their way to come here were made to wait. Several people around us complained,nobody seemed to be happy & everyone just looked fed up with the poor service. You need to do better & whoever is managing this place needs to step up & put the people sat in the restaurant first!

The food was of poor quality. Both my starter - soup! - and main meal were served cold. A friend had the same main meal as me and this was also served cold. We had the impression that the food was prepared well in advance. The vegetables were so rubbery that it was difficult to cut them let alone eat them. The soup was sent back to the kitchen and returned with little apology and no explanation. The ambience is pleasant and Weston was a good meeting point as we were a party of four coming from different directions. However, the general standard of the food is not good and I would hesitate to go again.

Chicken fillet burger was a bit dry, ( not the dipped burger ). Special doner and the dipped wings were quite good.

This was not an experience I would want to repeat. Went for Sunday lunch with visiting family members. Surprisingly, at 1300hrs we were the only customers in the dining room, although other people did drift in at around 1400hrs. There was not a traditional Sunday lunch menu, consequently, we ordered three cod and chip meals and one gammon. The cod meals were diabolical ! The batter on the fish was like concrete (I suspect that it was probably left over food that had been reheated, although I was told it wasn't when I complained.) There was a minimum amount of fish with a lot of batter . It was also not very hot . The gammon meal was, reasonably OK. The surroundings were ( I was told, ) newly refurbished, and it was clean and bright. The waitress who took our orders was polite and friendly and seemed to take our complaint seriously, although we were not offered the opportunity to send our meals back to the kitchen. In the end, the three of us who ordered fish left a fair proportion of our meals. When we paid our meals, we were given £10 off the bill, because of our complaint. We will not be going back there!

Came for a lunch with my family and have to say the food was fantastic. The staff were really friendly and helpful. So glad we came!

Food cold no staff gone really down hill. And over priced.

Food for kids okay. Food for adults rather lacking taste. Rather long 20 mins waiting for a jacked potatoe. Salad without vinaigrette
