My friend and I do like to take our children out for tea as often as we can reasonably afford as it is a nice treat for them but also quite nice for us too as single parents to get out and catch up whilst the children are happy. Our most recent trip out was to Frankie and Benny's in Blackburn where we have both visited on numerous occasions. ==What is Frankie and Benny's?== Frankie and Benny's is a 50's style New York Italian restaurant and bar. They serve various dishes along this theme and so you will find items such as pasta, pizza, burgers and salads on the main menu. They do cater for children and have special children's menu's both for the ...  Read the complete review

Myself and my family have eaten at Franky and Benny's on a couple of occasions in the last few months. We have eaten at the restaurant in Castleford (xcape) and also the one in Kirkstall (Leeds). On both occasions I have been really impressed with both the service and the food in both of the restaurants. The restaurants and staff I found the atmosphere in both the restaurants great, The restraunts are lovely and friendly they are ideal for both families or couples. They have a nice lively feeling about them yet they are not too noisy. The ones I have visited had an American theme and you can either sit at tables or in ...  Read the complete review

I've been to Frankie & Benny's many times, at many different locations. I've never had a really bad experience here, although I have waited quite a while when it's busy, but I suppose that could be my own fault for not booking. Just watch out for spending too much at the bar while waiting for a table (they give you something that vibrates when a table is ready for you) as the bar staff do keep encouraging you to have another! The menu is extensive and it can take a while to choose. Make sure you're aware that the portions are quite large (after all, it is American!) and don't be tempted into ordering unnecessary sides that you don't really want by the ...  Read the complete review

It's my birthday coming up so I'm hoping to pay Frankie & Benny's another visit, reason being I found out from a friend last year whilst we were eating there that if you sign up to their newsletter on their website and enter your details in the birthday club you are entitled to a free main course when you go there to celebrate your birthday. You do need ID to prove your date of birth though. The birthday club is for kids, teens and adults. The kids get a meal with dessert and drink whereas us adults just get a main course. You do also get a £10 voucher to take home with you for the next visit. The Frankie & Benny's I use is Southampton as the ...  Read the complete review

A few months ago my daughter and I spent a few days in Blackpool with my friend and her family from Brighton, this meant a few days of eating out! One evening I suggested we went to Frankie And Benny's which none of them had tried befoer so it was nice to introduce them to one of our favourite places to eat. Frankie And Benny's in Blackpool is situated on Festival Park Rigby Road, Blackpool, FY1 5EP which is very close to the South Shore Travelodge and Blackpool F.C. It is a little tricky to get to if you don't know the side roads of Blackpool very well so it's an idea to use the sat nav like I had to the first time we went! Frankie And Benny's is ...  Read the complete review
