"Living locally allows us to visit this restaurant at a moment's notice and enjoy the beautiful views of the estuary on a late summer day. It is ideal for avoiding the tourist crowds. We chose to sit inside and order from the bar terrace menu. The service was exceptional, with water provided for our table. Despite our waitress admitting she was new to the venue, everything was very efficient. We had a variety of small plates to share, including fries, lamb kebabs, duck salad, and Thai balls with dipping sauce. Everything was delicious, except for the duck salad which lacked crispiness and quickly became soggy. It could benefit from added texture, such as small wraps. The prices were a bit higher than expected, but the food was tasty and well-presented. We, along with other guests, asked for the air conditioning to be turned off, and our request was promptly granted. We are excited to try their Indian tasting plates, which seem to be offered annually and are highly sought after. We will have to book quickly before they sell out."

"We visited for lunch with no reservation, mid week. Staff were polite and helpful and food service was prompt. There are good meal choices (especially for vegan options, and children's). The food was enjoyable, pictured viva la vegan burger, margarita pizza and childrens mac n cheese w/corn and chips all from lunch menu. My only grip was that the disabled/baby change toilet could do with being cleaner, this could have been down to additional use due to the gents toilet being out of order."

"Came to Frankie and Benny’s on Thursday evening with a friend. There was only 3 other tables in the entire restaurant and looking back it’s easy to see why! Signs on the tables suggested app service but when trying to use this and type in our table number, error message kept coming up saying there was no account open on our table. Waited another 10 minutes for someone to acknowledge us and take our drinks order. After eventually ordering food, we waited around 10 minutes for starters. My friend said her potato skins tasted frozen and weren’t very nice, and my crispy squid was a soggy mess. For mains, my friend had chicken parmagiana which she said the pasta was bland and chicken was cold in the middle. I had carbonara and paid extra for chicken to be added as a topping. Well… ive had nicer carbonaras from the supermarket ready meal shelf. The whole dish was obviously from frozen, the chicken was diced into tiny cubes with a weird texture and the sauce was bland. Our onion rings and corn cobs that we ordered as sides were cold. We never received a checkback and even when the waiter (a young man who seemed like he didn’t have a clue) came to clear our full plates (we both left almost the entire meals) he didnt even ask if everything was okay or seem curious as to why we left the food. Paid the bill but will never return to frankie and bennys, we heard the table next to us complaining amongst themselves that the food was bad as well. Frankie and benny’s used to be a nice restaurant, always seemed to be fresh and was always busy. But now it’s a sad excuse for an italian american restaurant. The menu hosts some of the simplest things to cook (pasta, rice etc) but the chefs can’t even seem to do this from fresh. Two of the chefs, a man and woman were too busy canoodling and flirting in the kitchen to be cooking any food anyway. Absolutely awful and a total waste of time and money."

"Interesting visit. Firstly, we experienced no problems due to Coronavirus or the Eat out to help out . No difficulties with their safety processes, or having to wait for food. All the front of house staff were great, attentive and friendly. The food...it was VERY hit miss...the ribs, the chicken (breast, wings Southern Fried) was lovely. The fries were gross, like little splinters of balsa wood. We always have a side of fries with any meal, and the side of fries tonight was untouched, along with most of the fries with our respective meals. The steak that came with my 'Ultimate Grill ' was the most God-awful piece of meat I 've ever had put before me!!! They gave me a steak knife that struggled to cut the meat!!! In the main i dont really fully blame the kitchen, obviously they dont source the food, they just cook what they are sent, whether that be cheap and nasty frozen chips, or cheap nasty cuts of rump steak...but...I 'd still like to think that someone in the kitchen should be attempting some kind of quality control over what goes out... Not a completely ruined night, but for £80 spent, i expect better."

"It is my first time in this Frankie&Bennys but I have been many times in other ones. I came with my partner to have dinner and we were totally disappointed with the service given. The waitress a young lady, brunette and short hair took the wrong order. We wanted to have all the food together and not starters and mains as we had a cinema date.We got the starters, (never asked it they were ok) and when we got the mains (after waiting for a while) they were completely wrong and poorly presented. it was 2 carbonara, 1 with extra mushrooms and 1 w chicken and nduja sausage . We got the pasta without any bacon at all and we were like, where is the bacon? The waitress passed our order totally wrong to the kitchen, no bacon and chicken and mushrooms instead. We were offered for fresh new ones instead and this also took a long time to arrive. They came again the second time wrong, my partners pasta had no sausage this time. After being told they did it in. I asked the manager to have a closer look and once he did he agreed there was no nduja. At this point we decided to just eat as we were already too late for our cinema booking. The service overall was shocking. The waitress and waiter seemed they didn’t care at all about the job and the customers. No check backs on food even after the issues were raised. They never asked if we wanted more drinks! Definitely really poor customer service and they never tried to make it better. My advice to the GM of these place, get ride of these staff who make the brand Frankie&Bennys a really bad place to eat. They never gave us any discount or apology or tried to give us a sweet to forget the nightmare. I’ll def not coming back to this restaurant anymore!"

"I went to Frankies and Bennys for dinner tonight. I was not impressed with the food or the service. We ordered the same main meals, but one portion was larger than the other. One of our meals was very dry and lacked sauce and meat. The service was poor, as the staff did not inquire about our meal satisfaction. Most of the staff were chatting by the open kitchen bar. When serving our food, they did not ask if we needed anything. When I asked for cheese, it took longer than expected for someone to bring it. I have dined here many times before without any issues, but I was disappointed with the meal and service this evening."

"ah, the romanticism of American diners. these great burgers, phil y steaks and louisiana wings, massive milkshakes and divine deserts. it's all a recipe for a big night outside, and a big dive into her pockets! So, taking into consideration, at almost 16 pfund for a double stack, double cheese burger with fritten and koleslaw, this better worth every penny! the good news is, it's almost. a burger experience that I'll never forget after I took an exhausted and taste tasting, the Irish beef pomet was unforgettable delicious, fleshy, tasteful and lets you beg more. there is no lack of cheese what they need on a burger, these big and most burgers usually fall short on this front, a big 'no', if ever there was one. They also get noble stone salat, a gorgeous disc of tomato, pick and sauce. fries were delicious and they have no lack of sauces to choose from coleslaw, was made fresh and the best I ever had and the coffee was unlimited! the only minus is the price and much too much sauce on the burger, but the experience and quality overall was incredible. we even get happy birthday and party songs through the sound system that creates an unforgettable, joyful opportunity, and service and punctuality was also recommended top-dollar!"

"The food was delicious and the staff were very charming. The restaurant had a charming Louisiana atmosphere, which was a nice touch. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars was due to something beyond their control. Unfortunately, there was a group of people celebrating a birthday with several young children who were very loud. The noise level was so high that it was hard to enjoy our meal, so we ended up having to eat quickly and leave."

"Came here for lunch before children returned back to school. We were seated straight away and greeted by our server Rowan our drinks and food order were wanted promptly. Have to give a special shout out to Server Lily who remembered our daughter from our last visit always so happy and friendly. Our food did not take long to arrive and all our meals were hot and very tasty. Our daughter gave everyone a big goodbye farewell on leaving."

"We walked in as a family of 7 on a Sunday evening after having seen a film at the nearby cinema. We were shown to a table right away, a round one which made chatting easy. Our waiter James was a very pleasant young man and was extremely patient with us all whilst we chose from the varied menu, especially with the youngsters in our party. Drinks arrived promptly, followed by all our dishes arriving together; good staff coordination. I had the salmon risotto with broccoli stems which were cooked to perfection which doesn't often happen! All in all a delightful experience which we look forward to repeating with more family members who will be able to choose from the extensive vegan gluten free menus. With broccoli ste.s I had"
"Yesterday 3rd November 2023 , I came to Frankie and Benny’s with my best friend for her birthday meal. We had the pleasure to be served by Ben, a waiter who was very polite and kind. First of all, our drinks 10/10 for quality and garnish ! A fellow waitress understands the importance and loves the attention to detail Our mains Ben upsold on our mains and ensured to check back to make sure we were satisfied with our meals Desserts Again, Ben was able to tempt us to have a dessert each, in which he was very catering to my friend requesting cold custard on her apple crumble Delivery Without asking, Ben noticed the occasion with the big balloon next to us and brought out the apple crumble with a candle on and sung happy birthday ! Although a surprise, she loved it and appreciated the effort that went into this : Amazing quality service from Ben ! Would 100% return and recommend What an amazing asset to the team Ben is for this restaurant. Pay rise needed !

"from food quality, presentation, decor to service, everything is well polished and pointed to local Chinese restaurant standards. True veruan aficionados will probably not be in agreement with the level of spiciness and taste budd “Nummingness” that is synonymous with seuan cuisine, but the owners have taken a queen from the local warm tolerance and did the chili factor a touch to make eating more pleasant for the general amount. one of the must try to court is the seuan deep fried huh. if they don’t have a bone in the chicken and a little heat, go for it! spicy longoustine is a rendition of the common spicy Sichuan sauce “with every meat / veg / seafood” dish with...read more"

"Although we have been to F and Bs before we were disappointed this time round. Firstly the attachment highchair for my son, although the right size and nice to have him at the table was quite dirty. As it was made of canvas it would be hard to clean and did have a smell to it. The restaurant itself was very noisy and we had to really shout to hear each other at our table. The service however was good. Polite and prompt. However most disappointingly was that my wife discovered an inch long metal shard in her food! Staff apologised and made some fresh food but understandably she wasn’t too keen to eat any more and I was concerned what my children had eaten as this had a similar spaghetti dish. I would certainly think again before rebooking. Shame"

"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."

"My husband and I met friends here this afternoon. Luckily we sat at a large table so could spread out and there was plenty of room for all our food and drinks. We enjoyed various starters to share, arrancini balls, king prawns, mushrooms al forno, calamari and chips. Our friends opted for pasta dishes, we all enjoyed our food very much. It was my friend, Madeleine’s birthday, the waitress brought over a tiramisu with a candle, nice touch. We all enjoyed our visit to ASK, in fact the waitress recognised us from last year. This restaurant is a good choice for couples and friends. A member of staff called us a cab as requested which was appreciated. Thanks to you all for a lovely afternoon/evening"

"Overall Average food with below average service. Sat down and given drinks but no large beers only small. Took a while to take order for food even though was not even 6 tables full . Food arrived and was okay. At 15.99 a pizza you expect it to be worth it but was just average. Desserts didn't come out together. Asked for bill, no free kids meal deducted so asked waitress to amend and also blue light card. Waitress disappeared and never came back then other waitress appeared to be told we can't use blue light card with kids discount. By this time was just ready to leave so paid and left. Won't be returning. Plus don't take cash too"

"bad, nasty unsafe.! a group of four went for a meal, three where served their meals after a reasonable wait, the fourth meal came to five minutest after (not a good start) after reviewing the meal that it contained pasta not great when I ordered lamb and maische?! the waitress took away the meal, no policy given in this phase, ten minutes later a further meal was delivered (after most of the table was finished) after checking the meat it was still frozen in the middle. not happy, after the return of the meal to our waitress we asked to see the manager who came to the table, their first cake 'so what?! what do you think?! I wasn't happy with the pathetic excuses, the following ' mistakes happen his not a big thing, a just enough two is not acceptable. especially not happy, as I said, we had to pay for our meals. big mistake. neeedless to say, will be a formal complain! bad eating bad service what a waste of time and money"

"Having a selective memory can be a blessing and a curse when it comes to remembering past dining experiences. Sometimes I only recall the delicious and memorable dishes I've enjoyed, while other times I only focus on the mundane surroundings. There's no room in my mind for mediocrity - a restaurant must either be outstandingly good or terribly bad in order to leave a lasting impression. The average and boring places tend to fade from memory quickly."
