Description: Chain of New York Italian restaurants and Bars.

Newest Review: ... tight squeeze if you were of larger build. Table was set with the usual salt, pepper, mustard, tomato sauce and vingar. Plus display advertsing for Christmas meal and special offer Mondays. We looked at the menus to choose our meal.. my menu was really grubby and covered in sauce. One menu was the lunchtime special, the other menu was their normal day menu and the other was a specail menu if ... more

 ... you wanted to include starter and dessert.. there was a premotional price which i don't remember off the top of my head but I seem to remember it being an extra £2 for starter and another £2 for dessert. As we had a voucher we went for the 6oz steak an...more

Went to Frankie and Benny's today for lunch in Perth. Having never been there before wasn't sure what to expect. I only went there because I had a spree voucher so it was buy one get one free meal offer. I suspect every single one is exactly the same as being part of a large franchise chain. The main style is very retro with lots of old pictures and decor around. (although all modern). Seating is both booth and table and chairs. There is a bar area and a grill area where you can see into the kitchen. We were greeted when we arrived and shown to a table. Asked immediately what we wanted to drink and handed 3 menus each. We were shown to a booth ...  Read the complete review

I really don't know what to make of Frankie and Benny's. I've had a few greatly different experiences, and it all seems to depend on which branch of the chain you visit. The chain is a series of fairly homogenous restaurants serving Italian American food such as pizzas, pastas, burgers etc with a backdrop of swing music. First I'm going to talk about a recent and pretty horrendous visit to my local branch, in Sunderland's Sunniside area. On arriving we were met pretty quickly by a pleasant waitress, who showed us to a table right beside the toilets in spite of there being plenty others free, so we asked to move and were obliged. We were then sat in the draught ...  Read the complete review

Well Ive had some good and bad experiences with Frankie & Benny's so Im going to share them with you. What is Frankie & Benny's? Dishes are classic American and Italian in both style and cuisine. They specialise in home-style cooking "just like Mamma used to make it! The first time we ever went to Frankie & Benny's was on a Sunday evening. We did not book so was prepared to wait for a table. When we arrived we had to wait 10 minutes to be welcomed, even though there was no one else waiting. When someone did notice us, we were advised that a table would be ready in about 20 minutes which we were happy to wait for. ...  Read the complete review

I visited Frankie & Benny's restaurant (the one at Clifton Moor, near York) as it was near to the cinema that we were visiting later on in the evening. It's one I've been to a few times before and I'm used to a wait on a Saturday night, especially as there were six of us. However, it being the closest Saturday to Bonfire Night, it seemed that people were either stood wet, cold and shivering round a bonfire or at home calming their pets down due to the fireworks. Anyway, we were seated almost as soon as we walked in. Frankie & Benny's is an Italian-American restaurant chain and the restaurants are dotted about the UK, usually in a retail park or near a ...  Read the complete review
