"Rude staff and far too many. I don’t often write reviews because they are so subjective, but as a publican and Manager for some years I must write this hoping that the management company, possibly GK see this. Rude staff asking weird questions, which lead me to think he was high or drunk and another member who short changed me and when challenged just paid back with no apology. At least six staff behind the bar chatting, not customer facing and plates left on tables for at least 30 minutes still not cleared as I left. I suggest the BDM could slash the wage bill here. This is obviously a pub that trades on I’m here so you have to use me, and I’m sure does well, but that is pure location not service"

"If you are looking for bang for your buck this is pretty much the best menu in Glasgow city centre. The daily deals are amazing. It’s a perfect lunch spot. Portions aren’t massive but enough to fill you on a lunch or quick dinner. Just be wary not to chuck in some add on purchases as they pretty much double your bill and don’t really add value for the quality you get. It’s a pub, live music venue and eatery but I see it more of a cafe diner. It’s also an abso bargain. Highly recommended!"

"We decided to eat here, probably not the best decision we have made this weekend!! We had to ask for a menu! Which arrived then the server was going to walk off without asking if we would like a drink!! On a few occasions food and drink came out, and an owner could not be found, so it went back in. My other half ordered the hotdog, which was missing some coleslaw, as it was quite dry. I had chicken waffles with crispy bacon bits and cheese, the bacon bits were not crispy and very fatty, I left them. On the plus side the chicken was good, very succulent not dry, the waffles were also tasty. I used the loo, when I went into the establishment there were numerous glasses and bottles on the bar. As mainly young people seemed to work there, there didn’t seem to be any front of house or leadership. If this was sorted I feel things would improve drastically."

"The food was delicious, so many thanks to the kitchen team. Unfortunately, the service was bad. The employees were either untrained, trained or simply didn't care about their jobs, except for the person responsible, who was very organized and efficient. When we arrived at our pre-booked meal, we had to wait 10 minutes first while they had a staff meeting. Then another employee came too late. The person who led the meeting told them that it was not acceptable in the restaurant. We waited 15 minutes for our drinks to be told by the staff: “We don’t have Pina to make your drink”. We were in many village hotels and had food, but unfortunately this time it was trained by the staff who did not seem interested or as previously said. Thank you to the kitchen staff and the manager for sorting us. Our feedback is passed on to the hotel when we receive the call from the manager."

"When we arrived for our prepaid meal, we were made to wait for 10 minutes as the staff held a personal meeting. Afterward, another employee arrived late. The individual leading the meeting told them it was unacceptable to be unprepared on the restaurant floor. We waited another 15 minutes just to order our drinks, only to be informed that they didn’t have the ingredients to make a piña colada. We have dined at several village hotels, but this experience was marred by the lack of training and care shown by the staff. Our thanks again to the kitchen staff and the manager for addressing our concerns. We will be providing our feedback to the hotel when we hear back from the manager."

"To be honest, we were somewhat disappointed in our visit meal and it was no where near as good as the carvery style sunday menu we thought we were going to get. There was not much choice at all for starters or desserts on the 'help yourself ' part and there was a shortage of desserts, only 2 to choose from a plain cheesecake and yogurt pot type desert. Also, no spoons available for the soup or deserts. The Sunday lunch itself was quite standard, nothing special. I enjoyed the beef but my husband wasnt impressed with the processed turkey he got. Staff were pleasant enough but we cleared our table of both starters and mains ourself as no one seemed to want to take our used plates away do we ended up putting them onto another table or on the bar! Only positive was that I had purchased a voucher so instead of £50, we spent just over £25. I most certainly wouldn 't pay full price for what we got and wont rush back for sunday lunch. Very disappointed as our kids loved it last time with the choice and especially the ice cream machine but this has all been changed and not for the best."

"Went for Sunday lunch, booked for 4.15pm. Went for the 3 course option. Starters looked as if they had been out for a while, quite a few options still available. Choice of 2 mains, either turkey with stuffing and pigs in blankets and cranberry, or beef with horseradish, both with roast potatoes, Yorkshire’s, carrots, cabbage and sprouts. Both looked as if they had been thrown on the plate, weren’t hot, beef was dry, veg was soggy, and the turkey came without stuffing or pigs in blankets! Did arrive when asked but were dry, burnt and crozzled. Went for desert, all that was left was pan au chocolate and 1 berry compote, when we asked why there were no other options we were told it was the end of service. I said why advertise the times for three courses when there was nothing left? They did manage to conjure up 4 lemon muffins! My daughter had booked this for a special occasion, and it was totally spoiled. She did complain and had a reduced bill, but that was not the point. My daughter is a regular customer there with friends and usually eats earlier and has enjoyed the meal, so I think the advice would be go earlier! I won’t go again as I thought it was quite noisy, but there was a rugby match on at the time."

"I had a burger with a bun that was drenched in melted butter, making it incredibly greasy and unpleasant to hold. It left my hands filthy. The restaurant was initially nice and quiet, perfect for chatting over lunch with colleagues. However, as it got busier, they kept turning up the music, making it hard to hear and forcing us to shout over our meals. Not everyone wants to shout over lunch and it made me hesitant to return."

"I made a reservation for a large group in advance for a Friday lunch. The only time slots available were 11am or 1pm, so we chose 1pm. The bar staff seemed very busy and stressed when we arrived, and they were not happy about our group ordering individually. I had called over a week in advance to inquire about pre-ordering for a large group, but the person I spoke to seemed confused and said they would call me back, which never happened. We had difficulty ordering food together at the bar and splitting payments, so it took a long time for us to order through one staff member. As a result, the food arrived gradually and some dishes took a long time. Although we were warned about this upon arrival, we would have expected better staffing for such a large booking. It would have been better if the booking system had offered a midday option to avoid the lunchtime rush. The food was good and reasonably priced, but I would not recommend booking for a large group or going during peak times."

"I was a bit disappointed with my experience. I had booked a table to celebrate my birthday with my family, expecting a carvery, but upon arrival, there was no carvery in sight. Instead, we were offered a pre-plated roast and a selection of starters from the chef's table. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to choose a dessert because they had all run out. Additionally, since the restaurant is now part of the bar, the noise level was unbearable due to the large number of football fans focused on the big TVs. It’s such a shame that the bar and restaurant aren’t separate areas. Overall, I'm sorry to say we were disappointed."

"We went for the brunch menu which we have had before and me and my partner brought friends who where over from Ireland. I dont why it had changed from the way is used to be set up but it was terrible, the food to help your self too wasnt even ready and out when we turned up so we had to wait before we could get any soup and bread, then range of starters was tiny and terrible but just in bigger bowls than it used to be. It was about 15 minute wait for the bread rolls, and then took the staff over 20 after we had finished the soup before relaising we had and asled if we wanted the roast which took over 15 minutes to come out and even when it did the veg was burnt and discoloured, things where missing off 3 of the 4 plates and one of my friends didnt eat any of it as it was that bad. A couple behind us didnt eat much of theres and a table of 20 there for a birthday also complained about thr tiny selection of starter food but when they did the chief brought a larger selection out which annoyed us further as we didnt get a the offer of a bigger selection. The staff didnt have a brain cell between then, tables where left dirty for over hald a hour and they still where sorted properly when we left. We had to clear our own plated into the bar so we had some room and there was plenty off staff but the women just followed each other round like lost sheep. The only one with a braincell was the guy who was the manger but even then he couldnt do it all on his own or manage the staff well. We where told the way that is set up is going to change again and it wont even be an all you can eat section and just set course meals. We will not be back again and will be telling people not to go either"

"Ordered a takeaway from here at the Bournemouth Sam's chicken restaurant (I'm guessing it's a chain as I use to like in Southampton and there was one there, never ate there before though). Ordered it at 6.20pm. It came at 9pm. Couldn't even call the restaurant as it kept ringing out (that's a wait time over two and a half from time of ordering with no updates) no apologies when it came, items were missing and then when we opened up the main box, the chicken was raw, literally pink in the middle. Absolutely awful. Do not order from here!"

"The lunch meal for £10 was on the spot: a decent burger with delicious fries. They also had a happy hour offer on drinks during the day. The place has a good atmosphere with friendly staff who take dietary requirements seriously. Particularly innovative is the light switch at the tables to call the waiters."

"Fun, tastey. The rainbow salad is fantastic too. Just a shame it's expensive for junk food and very very little service as predominantly help yourself which for the money, certainly seems an expensive experience and we spend less in top cafes for example. Fun once or twice a year though"

"Thank you to Frankie Benny's Fort Kinnaird for a beautiful meal today for Mother's Day. We were given Prosecco on arrival and a very hot and tasty 3 course meal. The service from Leanne and Connor were spot on and very attentive. Definitely would recommend and look forward to visiting again."

"I went to this place to see Israel Israel Nash in concert as part of the Celtic Connections, and did not go for a meal. The hall is pretty much like many other church halls with a balcony which wasn't in use and a stage at one end. The were 2 small but very adequate bars selling a limited variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Unknown to us it was a standing event. The reason I am writing this review is because the staff were so helpful. One of our party has a disability which would have made it impossible for her to stand throughout the event. Both the stewards and Amy, the lady in charge, were so helpful to us, supplying my sister with a comfortable seat in a reserved area ensuring that she had a good view of the stage at all times. Fantastic customer service! And the music was brilliant too!!"

It took a long time for all of us to order with only one employee taking our orders, resulting in food coming out gradually and some dishes taking longer than others. We were warned about this upon arrival, but we expected there to be enough staff to handle a large booking. Alternatively, the booking system should have allowed us to book for lunch before the peak time. The food was good and affordable, but I would not recommend booking for a large group or during peak hours."
