"The first time we ordered from this restaurant, they forgot part of our order. Upon calling them, they mentioned that they were busy and would deliver the missing items the next day. Several months later, we received a promotional email offering a 15% discount, so we decided to give them another try. However, after completing the payment on their website, we encountered an error message stating "error creating order in the backend." When we called to address the issue, we were informed that they were unable to assist us and suggested we use Just Eat instead. Despite explaining that we would lose the discount, they offered no help or solution. We have still not received the missing food from our original order, and it seems unlikely that they will deliver it anytime soon. We would advise avoiding this restaurant in the future, as their customer service and reliability are lacking."

"Just stopped in while on a business trip. The place was busy which is always an indicator to how good the food could be. The waitress was attentive and quick even during the busy period we visited. Always asking if we need a drink, how is the food etc. Chicken wings here are some of the best I've tasted. The platter shared between 2 was huge and came with generous sized various dips. The burgers were nice but the topped fries were really the standout piece of the meal. The pulled Brisket was tasty and chips plentiful all served on a cast iron pan. Would definitely recommend a visit here if you like American style food. Thanks for the grub!"

"Frankie & Benny's restaurant at East Kilbride's Olympia Mall Centre is fantastic. The food and service are top-notch, and the staff are incredibly friendly - it feels like a home away from home, which is why we keep coming back. The manager is wonderful, the staff are well-trained and welcoming. Make sure to say hello to Karolina, who has a delightful personality. During our visit, we were looked after by Samantha and Keith, but other team members also made us feel welcome. The menu offers a wide variety of options at great prices - we highly recommend trying their burgers. The welcoming and friendly atmosphere at this restaurant is truly exceptional, and we can't recommend it enough."

"We had not been here for a few years until last night and the set up has really changed and is more chaotic now due to no dedicated restaurant staff, they were dealing with bar and restaurant and there was not enough of them on a busy Saturday night. We had booked a table for 5 and ended up being squashed on a small table. The staff were friendly but run off their feet and we had to go to bar to order food but were given no information about how to order etc when we walked in. It has definitely changed for the worse in here. The food was OK but not fantastic."

"Gone to DiMaggios (East Kilbride many times over the years and always enjoyed the experience. 1st time back since refurb and it looks bright and family welcoming. Staff were friendly however not very attentive. Food arrived in good time considering how busy it was for Father's Day. Kids enjoyed their pizza pasta and garlic bread with just the right portion size. Wife enjoyed her pasta portion size and taste. The only disappointment of the night was my own meal. Ordered my usual full rack of BBQ ribs and it tasted as good as ever however recieved barely a half rack portion (5 rib bones . When asked if it was indeed meant to be a full rack I was answered yes. To be fair we had money removed from the bill (gratuity charge 10% however still a disappointing experience."

"Visited here yesterday with colleagues for a lunch. The restaurant was not busy, we were there for nearly hrs catching up and there were only a few tables in use but thats still to be expected at the moment I think : I...ordered Risotto Funghi and a side of garlic bread with cheese just in case the portion sizes weren’t that great, big mistake! The Risotto arrived an could probably easily have fed for lunch, my friend got the Mac n Cheese and she felt the same about hers : Definately not a complaint by any means, we were given containers to take the remainder home which was great as I hate food waste! A couple of my friends got the pizzas and they looked immense too. The crockery is really nice that was used too, like Denby style, chunky and really good quality looking. I also really liked the decor with the black painted wood plants interior, really nice. All in all, I cant recommend highly enough! The price you pay (which is very reasonable even before you see the portion sizes) for the amount you get is brilliant. Looking forward to a return visit with my fiance who had to listen to me singing Tony Mac’s praises all evening "

"Such an adorable little cafe with a lovely atmosphere! Came here for some brunch and some great options but I have to say the vegetarian breakfast really hit the spot! Great price as well especially considering you get a choice of juice or coffee included. It was very busy when we came in and the staff looked pretty rushed, but handled it well and made sure we were checked on. Took a brownie to go as my partner had to be home for an exam which was lovely and great to share. Will definitely return and recommend."

"My friends and I visited this wetherspoons for a friends leaving night, Had a good laugh until the Tracy (who i assume was the manager) told us that if we didnt have ID we would have to leave by 8pm, okay that was fine but...at 8:15 my friend had bought an alcoholic free kopparberg, and at 8:25 Tracey came over to our table and asked for everyones ID, My friend who had purchased the alcohol free drink didnt bring her ID with her, was asked to leave which was fair enough but she wasnt allowed to finish her drink or take it outside and didnt allow any sort of refund as she had only had a tiny bit of it. I just found Traceys attitude really rude and frankly I was disappointed in how it was handled. I also work in hospitality and if i had treated a customer like this, I would no longer have a job. Hope this doesnt happen to anyone else and hope the attitude changes within this establisment."

"I love the food from This establishment but the attitude of man in charge is absolutely diabolical and that in itself has put me ever going back again. After placing an order which was more than happy to wait over an hour and half for delivery it came and when it did it was actually not what I ordered and part of it was missing and what was there was definitely not nice . I phoned them up to let them know this and the man was nothing but rude He clearly never liked being told that he was in the wrong. I have heard this about this man before by many people In Lanark but I like to find things out for myself. I will not be back and I will be making sure everyone I know should avoid at all costs"

"We ordered from this takeaway propably around 15 times now as all other arent good at all. We order exact same food all the time we never change it. It's a shame to say the food has been good but no consistency what so ever, the food tastes diferent every single time, dishes have diferent vegetables, diferent spices, sometimes they have sauce sometimes they dont, we even get a peanuts in dishes they've not suppose to be there (not great for someone with alergy as not marked on the menu). The other week we got peanuts in chilli chips.. not sure why. As I said the food its not bad although I couldn't eat it today how disappointed I was as I wanted my favourite dish and yet again... it tasted totally different and had a different ingredients as it suppose to have. It feels like they have diferent chefs all the time or chef Is cooking the way Scottish weather is changing we all know we can get snow, sun, and rain within 1 hour. I dont like really to leave negative review but I've tried to contact the restaurant multiple times but left without any answer."

"Attended recently for a family dinner we have been going here for years and it used to be a firm favourite. Firstly, on this occasion the food wasn 't to the usual high standard. Not sure if there have been staff changes in the kitchen but it just wasn 't to our liking. Which is fair enough and a matter of opinion. The main issue is what has put me off returning, and that was one of the female staff members. We had a young baby in our party, who was welcomed heartily (great start) and given a high chair. One staff member in particular was keen to make a fuss of the baby (again great) and offered her hands out to take the baby. This was politely declined. Baby was sat happily playing with a spoon which the waitress for some reason decided to come over and take from her, and then sing and clap in her face, causing the baby to cry. A short time later same waitress brought a bottle of prosecco to the table, and proceeded to hand the twisted metal and Cork to the baby (taken back promptly by childs parent). Another short time later same waitress approached the table and handed baby a prawn cracker which again was taken back with a 'no, don 't do that please ' by the parent. Same waitress then proclaimed some chips will be good for her when the food was brought to the table. She was nothing short of irritating, continually putting her hands in babies face, pushing interaction from the child. All it meant was that the babies parents could not relax, could not eat in peace and were also on high alert for the next dangerous article or inappropriate food item to be given to the baby. Whilst it is always nice to be welcomed as a family and nice to have your child admired, our whole party was shaking their heads in disbelief. I 'm afraid it has put us off returning as it was not an enjoyable or relaxing experience."

"Waited at the allocated area to be seated. After a fair bit of time passed, with numerous staff passing by without any kind of acknowledgement, I began to doubt I was waiting in the correct place to be allocated a seat. I approached a staff member, to be told in a curt tone to wait over at area I had stood waiting. I returned and waited …. And waited. Said staff member proceeded to serve food, clear tables and ignore the building queue of customers. I left in disgust- I’m not begging to be seated. This is NOT an isolated incident, this happened previously. Staff walk about with their eyes painted on, don’t acknowledge the waiting customers and act like you are a major inconvenience. I’ll take my business elsewhere!"

"Normally first class food until last night, my wife ordered the platter and I had Singapore fried rice and hot sour soup. My food was good as usual but my wife’s order was very over cooked and very dry . Disappointed as food from Jimmy’s is usually spot on. I’ll put this down to a one off and hope it won’t be repeated."

"Had Lunch this Afternoon. My Adult Son, Daughter and myself. This was at around 12:45. There were no other customers, until after we’d received our Mains. My Son, had the Lasagna and a side of Chips with a cheese and Tomato sauce topping. He said both were very good. I had the Tuscan Sausage and Bean Stew, that was topped with a healthy mound of Mashed Potatoes (not a smooth mousse paste, but a very tasty rustic and characterful style) which was good. The food was “made to order”, and was served piping hot. There was no roll or bread to accompany the dish, which would have been nice. We only had the Mains with the one side of Chips. It is for 1Course, £10 for 2 and £12 for 3. This is not fast food, so don’t be in a rush. A nice leisurely homemade Lunch, in a beautiful environment is what you’re guaranteed if you dine here. I will be back. I genuinely wanted to score 3.6 but couldn’t do so. Please give us some Bread and Butter/Olive Oil to munch on while we wait. It will make a good experience better."

"for three years gone to cova, a consistent winner: freshly cooked eating, which is loaded far above the norm to the trips, and certainly overtake their surrounding competitors, which, I must emphasize, I have nothing against, and sometimes also use. but. for us it is usually cova. whether it is the breakfast menu or the normal menu, has never been disappointed, and have often been awakened. ingredients are obviously fresh and of a superior quality, well together with the attention to the presentation. also a crisp sortiment at home: scones, cake etc., all of the same high standard. I have always found the personal to be welcoming and cheerful, and even if cova busy and service can slow down a little, keep the kinen up and always have time for customers. also it speaks with covas popularity, well deserved. all in all, we are there in the average two, three times in the month, know that it is a good experience, and to crack the price-performance ratio. Thank you."

"This place is a little slice of heaven in Lanark. We have not had one bad experience in here and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Their Soup of the Day and French Onion soup never disappoint and the signature Roast Beef Pave is amazing. The service is excellent and the place is absolutely spotless. Well done and keep up the good work. We have definitely found our favourite venue for lunch. Hoping to go for brekkie tomorrow to finally try the French Toast."

"Last night my wife and I had pre theatre menu at this restaurant, our first and last visit. There is limited parking at the rear around 10 cars. Not too sure where you would park if full. Greeted by smiling waiter and shown to our table.. Our order was delivered quickly I had a pint of lager my wife tap water with blackcurrant. Our meals were OK nothing startling. Chicken pakora, Chasni chicken, Tikka chicken. Reasonable priced £15.95 which included ice cream. All other sundries naan bread etc. were extra. It’s when we got our bill that the price for water blackcurrant which shocked me. £3.75 for tap water and a dash of blackcurrant, how on earth is this reasonable. I complained and was passed from one waiter to another but they all shook their heads and said that’s the price. As there were other diners watching and listening my wife decided to pay the bill. So, parking poor, food no more than OK, their charge for tap water and blackcurrant absolutely outrageous means we will not be back."

"We had lunch here last Wednesday (05/04/2) and can 't praise it enough! There were five adults and two kids in the party. Four adults had the three-course Business Lunch with tomato soup for our starter. I 've never tasted such fantastic tomato soup in a LONG while; we all couldn 't get over how good it was. Two of us had the fish and chips and cleared our plates the others had the curry which I think was the South Indian that day. That was scoffed too. My husband had the steak with a whisky sauce which he said was fantastic and done to a T . The childen had Mac n Cheese and Pizza from the kiddies menu. We all finished with ice cream with various sauces. YUM! All-in-all, a most enjoyable lunch. Great atmosphere, fantastic food at brvery competitive prices and our wonderful server, Shannon, couldn 't have been more helpful and accommodating. This was me and the hubby 's second visit to the restaurant. First time was for dinner, which was also thoroughly enjoyed and was our reason for heading back to the G&B last week. We 'll certainly be back again, either for lunch or dinner. Who knows? What I DO know is that we can be sure of excellent food and service."

"Friendly staff, but I'm not sure I'd return based on the complete lack of vegan options and not great coffee. I had a dish altered after a bit of back and forth so I could eat it, but it was a bit disappointing (e.g. no...dairy-free butter/margarine for the toast, just given it dry) and the coffee was very weak the flat white more like a weak latte. Without being too negative though, if you don't drink coffee (or like it on the weaker side), and aren't vegan, then it is probably a great place to eat! It was clean, the service was very good, they did not rush us out despite being busy, and the choice for meat-eaters and vegetarians is great."
