Not a fan. The food here is bland and unimaginative. We used to eat here while waiting for films to start. Never really liked it, but they used to have a bacon and avocado salad that was ok. That's gone now. The atmosphere is loud and chaotic, they play this horrible song whenever it's someone's birthday. This wouldn't be that bad except everyone brings their kids there for birthdays, so the song blares out every half an hour or so. It's mind numbing. They appear to be aiming for Italian American themed food, but are falling desperately short. Maybe had Chef Boyardee opened a chain restaurant, this is what it would be. In short, if you like the food at Chuck E Cheese, but are put off by anim...
This is an American/Italian restaurant. Being an American, I can tell you this isn 't anything like an American restaurant. That being said, the food is pretty good and one of my favorite restaurants in the area. I find this place to be way better for lunch than it is for dinner. Their lunch menu is decently priced and they offer free refills on soda. The dinner menu is too pricey for what you get. The portion sizes are small and I don 't understand why they have free refills at lunch, but not at dinner. The service is hit or miss. We have had great servers, but we have also had awful servers. The place is however always crowded, so it must be doing something right.
I don't understand why this place has such high ratings. The food is terrible, like really, really bad. It's not just uninspired or inconsistent, it's consistently awful. The loud music and poor building design create a terrible echo that is only made worse by the numerous birthday groups celebrating. Every 5 minutes, your meal is interrupted by even louder music for another birthday. It's great for the person celebrating, but do I have to go deaf because of their poor choice in restaurants? No, thank you. Avoid this place at all costs.
My Grand Daughters 5th birthday party- 1 x Baby, 5 x 5yrs old, 2 x 10-13yrs old 4 Adults. They were truly fantastic. The food , very generous portions even though the quality needs improving. If you go for Pasta or Pizza they do it right but don't go for Steak, Salad or Fries but they can't! The service when seated was waited on by Brazillian guy and he was so calm and attentive. There were other party's going on that lunch time and they were all sharing the happy experience, that we had. So here is to the 6th Birthday Party.

We really really like this place! Great location, especially if you are on a night out to the cinema. Ample parking, as long as you don't go on cineworld's cheap tuesday, and we have never had to wait too long for a table. It can get very busy in there, but there is lots of space and tables. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the food is out of this world. It really is very tasty, especially the folded pizzas, and it's not too expensive either. I would recommend this to anyone!
We always make a point to visit Frankie & Benny's for birthdays and special occasions. We usually end up ordering a steak, which is always delicious. The food is surprisingly good for a chain restaurant. The service can be hit or miss, but generally it's good. Parking can be a bit limited, but we've never had trouble finding a spot. It's a popular spot for parties, so it can get loud. We'll definitely be back for our next birthday celebration.
This restaurant is situated amongst various other restaurants and also the cinema and gym. The food is great, with a kids menu for the little ones. They host kids birthday parties, but if you just want to eat from the menu (ie for an adults party) the staff are so kind that they will bring out a cake you bring after your meal. You can also pop in just for a drink after watching a film or just for an evening out
Booked a table for 7.30 p.m. to grab a meal before an 8.50 p.m film at the cinema. It took 15 mins. before order taken and then 25 mins before the food came out leaving us with just enough time to eat a main course, which was nice, but no time for a desert. Staff were friendly but poor communications on the waiting involved. So much room for improvement.

The food did not live up to the reviews. I was hoping for more traditional American dishes, but there was mainly fusion cuisine. I ended up ordering the meatball sandwich, which came on a bun instead of a roll. Despite this, the atmosphere was still nice.
Had a really good breakfast and the waiter was lovely, see this link for the rest of the review : [hidden link]
