Description: Chain of New York Italian restaurants and Bars.

Newest Review: ... hardly warm and not tasty at all. Frankie and Bennys look to combine Italian and American cuisine and they are part of a chain. Similar in a way to TGI Fridays style restaurants but without quite as much tacky rubbish on the walls. The food is fairly basic, a range of pasta and pizza dishes and then some meat and fish dishes from the grill, most of which seems to come with chips. On both ... more

I have been to my local Frankie and Bennys twice now and both times my main course has ended up going back, the only reason I found myself in there a second time was that a fried had booked a table for their birthday there so it was not my choice and both times the food was hardly warm and not tasty at all.

Frankie & Bennie's is an American-Italian chain. That means if, like the younger sister, you enjoy pizza and pasta there's plenty for you, but there's also a good selection for folk like me who prefer big chunks of meat. Seating took a while - though admittedly we were there at peak time on a Saturday evening. They gave us a pager, with a promise to page when we had a table, and we waited at the bar. The younger sister doesn't drink, and I was driving, but we did ...
