"I turned up on a Wednesday, carvery night, more in hope than expectation. Mikaylah and Shaun found me a spot in the bar on what was clearly a very busy night. Service was great and attentive. I ordered a soft drink and a carvery and was able to go up for my food in no time at all. The spread of meat available is always good, but as a creature of habit, I chose beef. The roasties, Yorkshire pudding, and vegetables were cooked to perfection for me. Big thanks to Fabio and Ruby for the service. Overall experience was very good. I attend quite often and have never been disappointed with the food or the service. Given this was a very busy night, I cannot fault my experience. One final shout out to the kitchen team, Shona, Gary, and Bradley. I have never been disappointed with the food, and the beef is always cooked to perfection for me. Will definitely be back. Given the popularity of the carvery, I would advise booking! 5/5"

"We had dinner here during our short visit to Aylesbury mainly prompted by the great reviews and it certainly didn't disappoint in any way. As others have said, the team have the balance just right in terms of a genuinely warm welcome, background music that was eclectic and discreet enough to mask other guests' conversations, great food served attractively at a table dressed in crisp white linen in fact the whole restaurant was a tasteful blend of new and old. We had good advice about the dishes ad serving sizes and accompaniments (we had eaten a large lunch so didn't want to over order! . Each dish was delicious. The scallops (small plate served as my main course and it was amazing as was the cheese and chive mash that accompanied it. I would definitely return if we are ever in the area."

"I was really disappointed with the service. It felt like no one knew what they were doing. Although we received a warm welcome and our orders were taken promptly, that was the extent of the service we experienced. The restaurant wasn't busy, and there were plenty of staff around, but we barely received any attention. We didn't get offered any additional drinks, and since we were there to celebrate a 30th birthday, we were hoping to enjoy plenty of cocktails. Eventually, we had to flag someone down to request more drinks ourselves. As for the food, it was just average—edible but nothing special. The ambiance of the place was nice, but the subpar service really ruined the overall experience for us. I don't think I'll be returning."

"I opted for the express menu, which is £23 for a two-course meal. You can choose either a starter and a main or a main and a dessert. The rump steak was expertly cooked and absolutely delicious. I also added a caramelized speck, which was wonderfully sweet and salty, and incredibly satisfying. For dessert, I went with the peanut butter ice cream churro bread. It struck the perfect balance of sweet and salty, as well as hot and cold. I'm not usually a big dessert person, but I finished every bite!"

"The dining experience was very good, with a pleasant atmosphere. However, it is a bit pricey, and I noticed that many young patrons were not wearing masks, which is disappointing as it shows a lack of consideration for safety. I would recommend that management take this into account, as COVID is still a concern for many people and may be for some time. There are those who are still careful for themselves and their families."

"We booked to go here for my sister's birthday. They called an hour before the booking to let us know that their bar tenders hadn't come into work and therefore they couldn't do the cocktails. I asked about their bottled drinks and mixers and they said they will still be served, just not the cocktails. When we arrived we were waiting for a minute or two before a host arrived to seat us. When we were seated we waited about 5 10 minutes before a waitress came to take our order we hadn't even been given the menu yet. Afterwards we asked if we could have the bottomless bubbles and we were told we couldn't have that option because of the shortage of bar staff but we were welcome to buy prosecco. I didn't really understand why, and also why we hadn't been told that before, even though I had asked about the drinks. Anyway, the food came, some of the order was wrong, and the food was okay but not worth the price. It was really quiet so no atmosphere at all. Just all round disappointing. Quite nice for some pictures, but that's about it. I doubt we'll return."

"The star rating would be zero if I was able to award. Booked Liverpool Bougee months ago for a 50th birthday, had a 4 hr round trip, tried to call them to discuss allergies for one of the party with no one answering the phone. Saturday arrived and managed to get through to another branch only to find out Liverpool branch was closed. Bougee once again demonstrates contempt for its customers. Absolutely disgusted with this restaurant and will not be booking it again. Would have only taken a phonecall to tell prebooked customers of the closure. Zero stars from me."

"Firstly .. the whole restaurant needs a complete overhaul .. shoddy and shabby dated decor .. the light fittings were thick with dust and grease .. sat facing mirrors .. my view dirty walls and skirting boards, dried out imitation plants and dirty velour chairs at the table facing me .. the music was loud and inappropriate for a restaurant Bare tables, no condiments. My £8 glass of wine was served in the most basic of cheap wine glasses .. water served in a glass with a straw stuck in it .. no jug for the table .. dirty shabby menus .. ordered crispy beef. .. served luke warm and not crispy.. asked the obvious crispy beef ?? to be told it’s crispy beef but not crispy as it’s their signature dish which is crispy beef but not crispy .. makes no sense .. ordered mushroom bruschetta to have a scorched wedge of ciabatta and a few mushrooms .. red pepper in the mix of the concoction with very little sauce .. the young boy who served us was very apologetic and did his best in the circumstances. To be sat in this restaurant was not only a depressing environment and experience the food is completely overpriced from what appears to be cooked by a cook .. not a chef .. for this restaurant to be trading there must be very little competition in the area for them to get away with serving what they serve in canteen surrounding .."

"Visited here with my partner in October First impressions were good ones, I’m a big fan of Mexican food and the menus looked as if they had a lot of choice and resonably priced, the restaurant was full with a decent atmosphere, usually a...good sign. Alarm bells started ringing when we ordered our main, calamari and an assortment of chips and dips. The calamari consisted of large, battered rings, clearly frozen (my guess is Iceland) and a mayonnaise. The chips and dips was a whole bag of cheap super market tortillas slopped on a dinner plate accompanied by shop bought hummus, sour cream and gauc. It’s a dark day when you enter a Mexican restaurant and they don’t even make their on guacamole….. even I make my own guacamole! However, we were hungry and ploughed through….. I’d like to point out at this point, I’m months pregnant and when it’s dinner time, I’ll eat anything. For mains we ordered the ginger and chilli tuna steaks which were served ‘turf and surf’ style. This means on its on griddle with a whole jar of what can only be described as uncle bens sauced shoved on top with peppers and onions. The tuna steak was extremely chewy and had a pungent smell. We couldn’t eat it. Praise the lord the the side of McCain’s oven cooked wedges which came with the dish (another whole dinner plates worth), for it was the safest thing to eat. Naturally after deciding enough was enough we asked to speak with the manager who was reluctant to help in anyway, very defensive over his frozen tuna and all in all, a bit dismissive. He did ask if he could get us anything else to eat, I’d rather raid the frozen aisle at my local Tesco thanks, and did offer us a drink on the house, to which we politely refused and asked for the bill. When we received this, the waitress announces proudly ‘here’s the bill, and we’ve given you a discount’ I pick up the paper with baited breath, what is it? Free drinks? Complimentary appetisers?? Nope! They’ve taken a whopping off our bill, which equates to approximately Bravo mariachi grill, bravo, i doth my cap to you in what I can only describe as the worst meal I’ve eaten out in a very long time."

"Had previous bad experience here but due to all other bar/restaurant options being booked out due to time of year Christmas market etc, gave it second chance as was young daughters birthday and she wanted a treat for lunch. Girl greeting customers was friendly and helpful, but from there the experience was a disgrace. Once seated, order was taken and after 10 mins was informed there were no more wraps available, so child had to reorder which we did. Then, few mins later the adults food arrives a pizza which was thinner than the menu itself and of very poor quality for the price paid. I noted all pizzas being delivered to tables were exactly the same thickness and quality and can't help think they are pre frozen and simply heated up. Would explain the quality of the food. The amended child order arrived about 25 mins later, when the adults had already finished their meal. By this stage she had grown tired of waiting and the food was of awful quality. Needless to say she barely are it and we just wanted to leave. No staff apologised for the delay, fact it wasnt put as urgent bearing in mind the original delay due to running out of ingredients etc. Throughout the experience of around an hour and 15 the staff were running around in chaos, even arguing amongst themsevles and the ordering system in full view along with kitchen showed just how disorganised they actually are. I asked for the bill for girl to say she'd bring it to my table. She passed the table at least 15 20 times delivering food, taking new orders and as befitting of this place having sat and given her ample chance to get back to me had to ask her AGAIN 15 mins later can I have the bill asap, and as per her reaction, she'd actually forgotten to go and get it leaving me sat unattended. I can accept a restaurant being busy but more importantly the quality of the food here is of absolutely horrible standard on both visits, appearing to be pre packed or frozen and reheated only. The service isnt far behind and needless to say, its last time i'll ever set foot in this or any other Frankie Benny's. You've been warned!"

"I gave them all 5 stars to be nice and nit hurt their score, but I really just want to complain that I have been asking them to adjust their deliveroo menu to make it possible to choose not to have mayonnaise on the sushi rolls and they won't do it. I would order like 20 times per month if they would just do it. Instead I never order because I hate mayonnaise with all my heart"

"The restaurant manager for lunch was miserable and unfriendly; sat us on a table and left us, no smile, no enjoy; however Abdul saved the day; he couldn't have been more helpful. You have an amazing asset in Abdul I couldn't have asked for more. In advance of lunch I bumped into Abdul in the foyer as I was looking lost he asked if i needed help it was at this point I said I needed to book for dinner. He didn't just point me in the direction but escorted me where I needed to go and waited until I was being seen. Without Abdul you would have had a complaint from me about the afternoon; however as it was he was truly amazing and i could not have asked for more of him; however his colleagues need to take a leaf out of his book. If customer service isn't their forte then they should not be in the hospitality business"

"For a special birthday dinner, we had a lovely evening. The atmosphere is a little too loud perhaps for an intimate date night, but the food more than made up for it. I had the fillet with bearnaise and she had the rump with peppercorn...sauce, sharing fries and a creamed spinach plus some olives and a Manhattan. We were both confident that they were some of, if not the, best steaks we’ve ever had. The spinach was a bit too cheesy, and the olives were an absolutely massive portion for the price. The bill came to £108 including service, which is expensive however we were able to use an OpenTable dining voucher to bring this down. The manager made using this very easy (even if the waitress struggled to understand us), which is rare in that programme as most nice restaurants don’t accept them."

"Came here for dinner with a friend tonight, food was gorgeous and loved the New Orleans style menu. Only thing I would have to say is you can really tell there is a quick turn around in customers which led to the waitress asking us if we had finished our food twice- while eating-to which we said no. She also took our plates afterwards and asked if we would like the dessert menu to which we stated no we were full then came back 5 minutes later asking if we want dessert. Basically being told to leave that the table was needed.. this happened multiple times and as someone who was previously worked in food beverage it’s always polite to ask if everything is okay but then there is borderline annoyance while trying to enjoy your meal."

"We went for lunch whilst out in the Xscape centre. We took our little one with us, we ordered the sweet corn fritters, jalapeño poppers and potato in spices. The starters were ok none of them were outstanding. The sweetcorn fritters tasted uncooked and like they had been warmed up. For the mains we had beef burrito and that came with chips and coleslaw. And the veggie chilli with rice and tortilla chips. My husband said the beef didn’t taste right and had to take it all out o eat the wrap, the veggie chilli was fine but it tasted like microwave rice it was stuck together and very stodgy. And the amount of rice to the chilli didn’t go barely had 2 spoonfuls of chilli on there to a while bowlful of rice so couldn’t finish it all. There was only one guy in the front serving, taking orders and drinks and bringing food out so quite slow esp being a Saturday afternoon. And only 2 people in the back, and with a few tables occupied we were waiting a while for food and drinks etc. The food seemed to be pre cooked the majority of it, we were very close to the kitchen and couldn’t get any smells of food being cooked freshly, which isn’t a good sign."

"I didn’t appreciate the fact that there was nothing to choose from as they are changing the menu in the next two days. The dish I ordered , scallops and prawns wasn’t worth 26€ plus you have to pay extra for the side dish. Soup of the day was tasty Limited selection and not good value for money"
