Frankie & Benny’s UK

Please tell me you are joking, the food is a joke.
We went last night for nephews birthday as it was his choice. Having already heard bad reports I decided to play it safe and have a burger as let’s face it you have to be a retard to screw that up! However when I received the burger it was clearly pre made like you would expect to find in the freezer at tesco. Also it was that hard you could break you’re teeth on it. Best part of the night was when they sang happy birthday followed by the bill.

Went there once with my old home I used to live at and it was a great night of food and drinks and they do birthdays as well and great for all ages and toilets are clean and staff are great and bar is a great way to chill and relax with friends and family and it gets my full rating cus it’s been a great memory for me since I was young and I would tell everyone to go here as well

Great food. Slow service.

A good American style restaurant with plenty on the menu, unlike some places nowadays. I go regularly with my girlfriend and we enjoy it. On a couple of occasions when they have been busy the service has not been as good as it should have been but the majority of the time they are fairly efficient. Go when they are busy and expect to wait (like on a Saturday night) in the bar and they will buzz you when the table is ready. The food is great and although you probably could get it cheaper in other places, the difference is negligible. The range of food is impressive considering it‘s a chain of restaurants but the portions are pretty big so there are no complaints there. Not ideal for people who don‘t like Cliff Richard though as invariably someone has a birthday and when they do, the staff waltz out from the back with a cake whilst Cliff Richard‘s «Congratulations» blares out, earning him a royalty every time no doubt. On the whole, a fun menu, lots of choice and efficient service.

I really liked the atmosphere of this place! Not my usual kind of restaurant but on the request of the kids we decided to try it out.
The old American music playing loud outside gives you a feel of the atmosphere before you walk into this old American Diner styled restaurant.
They had a children’s menu with a junior section for the older kids which was a nice touch and the adult menu had lots to choose from with a variety of pizzas, pastas and steaks etc.
The food was OK and came out in good time and the pricing was good value for money especially the kids meals which were practically the same size as the adult meals!
The kids loved it and it would be a great place for family meals.

I love this place, the perfect American Diner located outside the city centre (near the M1). The prices are what you would expect from a mid-​range restaurant, although since the recession I have noticed the portion sizes may have gotten smaller (or maybe my eyes got bigger?). Great for burgers, pizza and pasta. There is a bar area which you can wait in, have a drink or a cocktail before your table is ready. This place is often used for birthday meals, so be prepared to hear Cliff Richard ‘Congratulations’ about ten times during your meal!

I really enjoy going here to eat and they have a great lunch time special from one course at £5.95 or 3 courses for £8.95. Staff have always been very friendly even when busy.
it can be difficult to book but you can turn up and wait in the bar area.
The happy birthday thing can get a little annoying if several birthday’s in one evening!
large portions of food make the prices reasonable.
plenty of parking and can be combined with a cinema or bowling trip as on same complex

ok for a treat– my children love it here, but then again its always before cinema or bowling trip. friendly staff and decent enough food american style offering pizza’s pasta’s burgers and chips and whopping puddings. drinks sizes very good and these are good value.
dim lit so very dark in there but you can see what you’re eating

Set out like an american diner, but seems very fake and not too cozy. Staff is friendly enough. Food is reconognisable, but kids will love it. They feel like they’ve gone to to america. Pleasant place to eat.

Frankie & Benny’s is like an american diner. They have a nice big restaurant with a fairly american look.
I have been twice here and each time it has been very good, the first time i went i had a burger which was a good size and the other extras e.g. chips etc. were very good. The second time i had a pizza which comes in two sizes and again is very good.
Another nice thing is that they have this Happy Birthday thing, so if you tell them its someones birthday, they dim the lights and have this happy birthday song play which can get annoying but its still nice.
I think the place can be fairly expensive and the waiting times can be a bit extereme but thats about it.
