"Decided to go in here for dinner the other night with the other half and our friend, and was not disappointed! We arrived about 8pm on Guy Fawkes Night, and as there was a massive bonfire display in Strathclyde Park 2 minutes away, the roads were mobbed, the exact opposite of the restaurant. We were surprised that upon entering there was maybe only 10 tables in, but sure as can be they filled up over the course of the display finishing. As it was relatively quiet when we went in, we were taken to our table by the host and drinks were ordered efficiently! We did experience a bit of a wait for the drinks coming back, but the chat was good so it didn't affect the experience. We decided on starters and he took our order to the kitchen. Between us we ordered the bruschetta, the crispy coated chicken strips, and the warm dough sticks with a garlic butter dip. The starters were brought out within 10 minutes, and I like the fact in Frankie and Benny's you can see your food being made and when it's ready, so you know if your food's sitting for longer than it needs to be. Despite cleaning the plate of the magnificently season bruchetta I was given, I think I probably ate half of the dough sticks as well. Oh my heavenly lord, the garlic butter was like the melted body of God himself. After I had calmed down from the taste explosion that garlic butter was, we had our table cleared and prepped for our main courses. We did wait a good 25 minutes for the mains which was a pest, as the starters had made us hungry for more. Colin ordered the simple, yet always incredibly appealing on any menu Spaghetti Bolognese, and our friend had the Cajun Chicken Melt Wrap with chips. I opted for the New Yorker Calzone, a gorgeous calzone filled with spicy pepperoni, ham, bacon and mozzarella, and topped with a homemade Neapolitan tomato and herb sauce. To. Die. For. I've never actually tried a calzone before, but I would definitely have this one again and again, that's how good it was. The waiter came shortly after finishing and collected my wiped-clean plate, and Colin and I decided we'd have some sorbet to finish off the meal. I went for the lemon, one of the only desserts I'll eat (not a big dessert person! , and Colin chose the strawberry. I kid you not, this was the most superb lemon sorbet I have ever tasted, and believe me I have tried a lot! This is somewhere I will definitely be returning to once in a while, and somewhere you should go too! Just go for dinner tonight, you know you want to!"

Alright food, nothing special. I would say pub grub style possibly slightly higher than pub grub. Don't expect a show stopper of a dish. The chicken wings for starters are horrible, they are always cremated to the extent they have charcoal on them and almost break your teeth. Most of the staff are friendly and they have a small but well stocked bar. Only go as it's close to the complex. View menu

Looking for somewhere to go with my 10-year-old step son and other half for dinner one Saturday night, we decided to stay local and go to Frankie and Benny 's Hamilton. Even though we had booked a table for 5:30pm, we waited over 45 mins to get a seat! Eventually seated, we got our drinks and ordered some food. I opted for the chicken burger and when it came it was as dry as anything! No waiter asked if our meal was ok, because I couldn 't see one on the floor else it would have went back. I was really disappointed by this and told the staff when the bill came but it was like 'Oh well ' attitude. Wont be back!

I am always satisfied when I visit this restaurant. The staff is well-trained and efficient, providing excellent service from the moment you are seated. The kids' meals offer a variety of nutritious options. The restaurant is modeled after New York Italian diners, serving pizzas, pasta, and burgers, as well as other dishes. I appreciate the cozy booths and decor, with walls adorned with black and white photos of famous movie stars and baseball players from old New York. They also play old rock'n'roll tunes and sell compilation CDs of the music. While the prices may be a bit high, this restaurant is perfect for a post-cinema meal, a large party, a date night, or simply dining alone.

Frankie and Benny's in Hamilton, located near Glasgow and just off the M8, is a fantastic restaurant. It is easily accessible by train from Glasgow Central or express bus from Buchanan Bus Station. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and nicely decorated with comfortable booths. The menu offers a wide variety of options, including delicious grills and pizzas. The lunch menu provides great value for money during the day. On Mondays, they offer a 25% discount on the total food bill. Located next to the Vue cinema, a combination of dinner and a movie is a favorite treat. The restaurant can get quite busy in the evenings, especially on weekends, but the service is efficient and the staff are acco... View menu

Returned to Frankie and Benny's recently and was rather disappointed. I understand why a lot of people are not happy with it. We were stuck at a table away in a corner where we had to wait the best part of an hour before our order was taken. There was a couple across from our table who had ordered a starter which was cold when it came and had to be sent back. Our waitress did her best to serve but when another waitress came we got the distinct impression that customers were just a nuisance. Food didn't come up to the standard for the prices we were charged. All in all the night out was nothing special. We won't be back anytime soon!! Whether it's a cup of coffee or full 4 or 5 course dinner...

my first Frankie and Benny's experience, and yeah. It is what it is, you know? It's very nice inside, but you get the feeling that any Frankie and Benny's location would be the same. It has that vast enorm-o-chain feel to it. While it doesn't make anywhere feel special, but it assures you that you know what you get. The food? Pretty standard chain fare, I would say. I opted for the black pepper mayo burger, topped with bacon and fries on the side. The fries felt like they were pre-packaged and delivered in bulk, but were fine. The burger was nice, without being memorable, but the black pepper may was superb. The highlight of the visit was the staff. Our table was basically one entire wing of...
