We came on a very busy day and they tried their best and got us a table!
The girl at front of house was lovely! Our server was also very very friendly! I didn't catch her name, but she was lovely.
Food was amazing. Portions were huge.
Had a great time.

The food was excellent. I had started to feel that F&B had gone down hill. But the food was delicious and hot. I was especially impressed by the menu having a separate page for vegetarian and also for Gluten free. Very good and helpful.

Great staff and a fairly lively environment. Sadly the food is dreadful. Absolutely appalling. ☹️. Almost inedible. Very expensive for what you get. Other restaurants much better value and the fayre is much higher quality. Frankie & Bennie's used to be decent. This is a place to avoid. Never again.

Saturday morning breakfast with the family. Nice decor inside.

Our waitress gave us a half hearted welcome, led us to our table, threw the menus on the table and walked away.

Food was OK, although no better than the Spoons round the corner, which would have been better value for

Eggs Benedict with bacon was tasty, although the side of black pudding was over cooked, as were the pancakes. Perhaps if the waiting and kitchen staff spent less time chatting to one another and were more focused on their jobs, the food and service might have been better.

Staff also constantly distracted by Just Eat/takeaway orders, so had to chase for the bill.

Would possibly go again, but with the alternatives on offer at Xscape and nearby, I don't think breakfast was particularly good value or that great quality.

A great full English breakfast with great service..it was the biggest breakfast that they did but I feel it could have been bigger. They did a great veggie option breakfast as well which looked really tasty. Service was great . Quite a noisy atmosphere but nothing you can do about that.overall we enjoyed our visit for breakfast at Frankie and bennies and will go again.

Oh today was brilliant, me and my wife popped in for some steak, we had steak with brisket fries, then had an apple crumble and custard.

Honestly this is the first time in a long time that both steaks was cooked perfectly and I mean perfect, bags full of flavour and so soft could have cut them up with a piece of loo roll, the chips with the cheese and brisket was flipping gorgeous and we both thoroughly enjoyed them.

Apple crumble with custard .... I'm a big fan of custard so could have done with more of it but it wasn't lumpy, apple crumble was spot on.

Staff .... well they was all professional, courteous and really friendly and attentive.

Atmosphere .... well its F&B's so brilliant and the music sets this place out from the usual "modern" rubbish.

Loved it and even though we've been a few times and really enjoyed it however this time the chef nailed it to perfection.

The food, service and atmosphere are good. Definatley not too busy and we're happy to make adaptations to food where required which was appreciated. Only negative that dropped my rating quite considerably was the fact that a single bottle of beer was £6+ (for a bottle 330ml or smaller!) and it was not specified that this was the case as they do supply draught beer and for this price this is what was expected.

The food was amazing 👏 having a dairy intolerance the vegan options for me were excellent and very tasty. Unfortunately we were waiting a long time for our meals (but to be honest we never even noticed) and without complaint (from us), we had half the bill knocked off. Excellent
