What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Frankie & Benny's offers a family-friendly atmosphere with a wide range of Italian and American comfort foods, including notable vegan and gluten-free options. While many praise the friendly and efficient service, and some dishes like burgers and carbonara receive high marks, a portion of diners have experienced issues with food quality, such as undercooked pasta or bland ingredients, and occasionally slow service.
"F&B now have many Gluten Free menu options, so we can choose from many things on the menu and not just 1 or 2. We were quickly shown to our table by Maria who was so friendly. She took our order after leaving us with the menus. The burgers were absolutely fantastic. Great price for lunch. We'll be back again!"
Lorna Smith
"The food was definitely well below average. I know F&Bs isn’t a high end restaurant, but I expected there would have been more quality in the meal. Packet cheese, packet bacon pieces, a ciabatta/baguette cut up into cubes and toasted…and they call that croutons? The cold Halloumi cheese was
dry, crumbly, clearly pre cut and deep fried. Really disappointing meal. I won’t be coming back."

"I was looking for something simple to eat and rest a little. Waiter who seated me was excellent. I was carrying large bags with me and this was not a problem. The Chicken strips were average, the pizza was decent with a thin base but quite greasy. The sweet potato fries were tasty enough around the outside of the bowl but in the middle they were all stuck together in one big lump and unfortunately I was unable to pull them apart. Seating was very comfortable and they had free WiFi and toilet facilities. I also thought the price was a little steep Vs quality £30.40"
