"came to the early evening on Thursday evening. very wide menu in American diner style to average trips in the city center. I had the new york deli burger and it was very good (if a small fat). only over £7 including chips (fries) is reasonable. service was friendly and attentive. would recommend"

"Came here last week with my husband for a treat! Staff were attentive, customer service was second to none despite it being very busy. We were served by a lovely girl called Lizzie? Greeted with a lovely smile, gave us just the right time to chose, drinks out quickly and didn't feel rushed one bit! We said what a hard working team they were looked like they gelled well together, enjoying their shift! Great customer service is hard to come by these days so felt it worthy of note!!! Food was hot fresh and cocktails were delicious too! Well done F&Bs Shrewsbury! X"

"My son took me for dinner here tonight and the food was excellent. I usually suffer from indigestion if I eat pizza as it's usually greasy, but this was light, crispy and really tasty. I also had a pecan pie cheesecake which was delicious. Our waiter, Jamie, was friendly, chatty and very attentive....he definitely deserves praise, as I will certainly return if his service is anything to go by. I hope he gets acknowledged for his excellent service, he certainly earned it. Thanks for a great evening."

"First time visiting Frankie and Benny's with a friend. We were politely welcomed to a seat and asked if we would like anything to drink before the waitress left. We asked for some time to decide what we wanted to order. The waitress returned promptly after serving customers who were ready to order. This was reasonable time for us. We then ordered drinks and two courses each. A starter and a main. The drinks were brought over in good time for us to settle and have a chat. The starters arrived not long after. My friend ordered a garlic bread pizza which he described as greasy but tasty. I decided to have the mozzarella dippers which tasted bland, even with the sauce. A couple of them were overcooked. For our mains we ordered a vegan burger with sweet potato fries and a plain 6oz burger with fries. The vegan burger was very tasty, however the sweet potato fries were slightly overcooked but still rather nice. The plain 6oz burger arrived : not plain. It had to be sent back and corrected. However my friend was pleased with it once it came back. We were rather full afterwards and decided to pass on trying a dessert. We asked for the tab and it came back to us at an incorrect amount. We soon realised they charged for a jug of the cocktail I ordered instead of a glass and 2 servings of coke. We brought this up to the waitress and she fixed the issue with the cocktail but informed us that because we ordered the coke from the main menu, instead of the side menu (even though they are the same price) that the refills would not be free. 7/10 food. 6/10 service. Wouldn't be somewhere I'd go back in a hurry as there are far superior eateries for similar prices."

"Booked a table for mother’s day and got to restaurant and had to wait 40 minutes for a table . All they said is they are busy. Happened to lots of other people who had to wait a lot longer. No staff gave any explanation. Very noisy in restaurant."

"The food was fantastic, and the portion sizes have returned to what they used to be. The chicken burger with BBQ sauce is a must-try, as well as the chicken and rib combo—both are excellent choices. Coupled with great service, it made for a wonderful evening!"

"Very disappointed in our experience here. When we arrived they only had a limited menu as there was an event at the stadium. The food was bought to us quickly but was only luke warm and by the time we’d finished eating, our drinks still hadn’t arrived. When we did receive our drinks they had given us the wrong ones. Also toilets disgusting and lacking paper. The waitress was very friendly but that is the only good thing I can say about this place."

"Despite reserving a table for four two days ahead of time, we were informed upon arrival that we would have to wait 20 to 30 minutes for our table. I waited for 25 minutes with my elderly mother and three-year-old daughter, but the table was still unavailable. Other patrons mentioned they had been waiting for 45 minutes. Eventually, we decided to go next door to Friendly Phil's, where we were seated within five minutes in a much nicer and better-organized environment. Overall, our experience at Frankie and Benny's was terrible; it was clear they had overbooked and the staff couldn’t manage the situation. I won’t be returning."

"Frankie bennys offer a wide selection of good food at a reasonable but certainly not cheap price and the Newcastle branch is no exception. Excellent service is gaurenteed even when packed which is mostly always as they actually have enough staff to serve people, which is novel these days! Good atmosphere with italian background music and various bits of kitch with links to the Rat Pack, suitable for familys, couples and large groups. The booths also add an nice touch of privacy if you so wish. However, one drawback for me is the cost of snacks snadwiches, often a mainmeal is only a pound or two more and works out better value"
"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 animatronics, this place is for you."

"I was disappointed that I had made a reservation online and received confirmation, but when we arrived at the restaurant, they could not find any record of it. However, they managed to find a table for us and the service was good. However, when our server was bringing us the bill, he was interrupted by someone who I believe was the manager. Despite explaining that he was busy, he was made to clean another table while the manager waited to set it. As a result, we had to wait longer to receive our bill. When our server finally brought it to us, he was embarrassed and apologized, asking if the manager was right to make him deal with the vacant table before bringing our bill. We expressed that we felt the manager was in the wrong. This was disappointing and it overshadowed our dining experience.incerely, Ian Williams"

"I really enjoy this quaint and charming old-fashioned restaurant. The food is always delicious and the staff is very helpful, although sometimes a bit slow. It is worth the wait, especially for their fantastic breakfast special once a week."

"The food at this restaurant is very simple and basic. It's not something I would recommend sharing with friends. The restaurant could definitely improve by using higher quality ingredients and incorporating more flavors."

"After I made a reservation through OpenTable, the restaurant had no record of my booking. It was meant to be a surprise for a birthday celebration, and we ended up having to sit at two separate tables (there were six of us). Initially, the restaurant staff was not very accommodating, but after I found the confirmation email for my reservation, they apologized and offered us a bottle of wine, along with a discount on our bill. I didn't share my experience at the time, and I don't think I'll be rushing to return."

"The food was poor. Had to send back because not cooked properly. Staff had also set up a corner of the restaurant just for them to eat. The senior staff looked like they had set up camp there. It looked a bit weird and not very professional. Our waitresses were very good though."

"Unfortunately, my reservation did not go through as planned. Even though I showed the lady my booking confirmation email, she could not find it in her computer system. This led to a frustrating wait in an already crowded restaurant, especially with a hungry child in tow."
