*This is actually a review for the Perth store* So we decided to have one last meal before the weekend ends so we decide to drive through Callendar and head to Perth’s Frankie & Benny’s. We get seated almost straight away by the assertive hostess next to the kitchen(my favourite spot) We decide to have the usual — burgers. I chose the bacon cheeseburger and my partner chose the construct my own cheeseburger(sometimes it’s like dining with a 5 year old). It took all of five minutes for it to come out and be served to us and it was delicious! I even enjoyed the relish which was mixed with a sweet BBQ sauce and the fries were cooked perfectly. My partner ordered the cheeseburger with the salad on the side, along with chips and relish. The chips were piping-hot — an apparent rarity in most restaurants nowadays(why is it so difficult to ensure food reaches the table at a satisfactory temperature??) where the standard offering is lukewarm coffee served with a portion of yesterday’s nachos. These chips had a slight crunch then a perfectly fluffy filling — excellent! The salad was fresh and tasted fantastic with the relish — I’m not even sure what was in the relish but I wanted more. Lastly the burger; something I’ve failed to be impressed with at F&B’s previously! The burger was cooked to perfection, the cheese melted into the meat — the flavour of which seemed to be intensified by the relish. Almost cleared my plate if it wasn’t for that pesky bun! We then decided to have a sweet and deliberated over the four different types of waffles: chocolate and honeycomb, mint, banoffee or cinnamon… but then we were faced with another impossible choice… what about the cheesecakes??! My kryptonite! There was: vanilla, salt and caramel or peanut butter cheesecake. So we decided that one of us would choose a waffle and the other a cheesecake and we’d share(I’m nice like that). Now for the hilarious part. I asked the hostess if I could charge my iPhone somewhere as I had a hundred mile journey and was at 16% left! She agreed to charge it at a counter for me. Just before we ordered our dessert I went to «check on my phone», but really I was making our amazing waiter Jordan(shoutout!) aware that it was my boyfriend’s birthday and he said«say no more». Suddenly the lights went out for a third time to celebrate someone’s birthday and my partner says«oh who’s next? That’s the third time!» Unbeknownst to him it was for him! His face was ‘not-amused face emoji’! But I was ‘crying with laughter-faced emoji! We chose the mint waffles which comprised of a cinnamon waffle with two scoops of mint ice cream and the peanut butter cheesecake with peanut butter ice cream — amazing! Lastly, I ordered a coffee and being the coffee fiend that I am, really enjoyed it, I’ve no idea what blend it was but it tasted different to anything I’ve had in any local Frankie & Benny’s. Jordan was so nice when getting our bill that he took my partner’s meal off of the bill as a birthday treat! Fantastic service and well-worth a visit the next time you’re passing! A really good end to a perfect week.

Upon walking in the store, it was classy looking and decorated place, however, there was trash on the ground and trays stacked around the reception desk. — easy fix, minus a star. :( We were greeted fairly quickly with the restaurant only being half filled. The waitress was friendly and very understanding. She also brought us a large pitcher of water without even asking us if we wanted it — awesome! I ordered a Club Triple Decker and my wife ordered a Chicken Pitta with Louisiana Hot sauce. Good arrived promptly, hot, and platted well on white plates. Pricing felt a little steep, but the amount of food that came out put my mind at ease. We both enjoyed our food immensely, including the fries. My club had a chicken breast which was a nice surprise. My only complaint was that the bread was slightly dry — so my mouth feels scratches at the moment, but it was still a good sandwich.

The wife had been going on about F&B for a while so I begrudgingly went along last year. I soon ate my words. The food looked and tasted good(I had the Black & Blue Burger, while my wife chose a Burger with Spicy Cheese and a $ 7 hard shake. I will say however its surprisingly expensive, so more of a treat, than every weekend. Enjoyed the booth style seating and drinks menu’s at the tables, an american feel without being over-the-top. Word of caution though, don’t mention its your birthday, unless your a child/teenager. I saw the ubiquitous birthday celebration happening at a table nearby, definitely more of a kids thing!

i love frankie and bennys in perth, i have been to a few accross scotland and this is the best by far. Its fairly small and always seems busy. Booking is a must if you want to get seated straight away. my family all love it and the staff are all excellent. The lunch menu is great! 3 courses for £7! and kids get 2 courses and free drinks, kids packs, balloons and veg for £3! we love it and great for the families! love the staff! oh and i love the cocktails. Sunday roast is £9 for 2 courses! with massive yorkshire puddings and massive portion

I have been to this Frankie and Bennys quite a lot since it opened and have nothing to complain about. The location is quite good and there are plenty of places to is also on a bus route so if you dont drive it is still easy to get to. Prices are good and they do meal deals i think it is 7 – 8 for a 2 course meal. The staff are always friendly and they serve you promptly. the food is nice –hot food is hot and cold food cold. they also do nice coffees.

Restaurant providing food for families — but badly! Been twice, service was awful both times and the food is just not good at all, very much out of a packet and reheated fayre. Salad was limp and burgers very thin. Tons of choice but none of it seems very good.
