Frankie & Benny’s

Nice polite service and table nice & clean.
The food came quickly was and was nice
No complaints here!

Me and my boyfriend came here once before going to the cinema. We ordered a starter each (he had chicken wings and I had the potato wings), however the mains came without us having our starter. When we told the waitress she brought our starters over, but wouldn’t take our mains back, saying there was no room for them in the kitchen. Neither of us were very happy about this but the waitress offered us 50% off our bill so we took it! The potato skins were quite dry, and I don’t think I’d be happy about paying £5.25 for them normally. The chicken wings were ok, just very spicy. Neither of us can remember what mains we had so they can’t have been very memorable!

I visited here recently with a friend and her children.
This was my first experience of the place and I was looking forward to it.
We were greeted by a friendly young waitress who did her best to look after us during the whole visit. There were very few staff on duty and those who were there were rushed off their feet. We were handed the menu, or rather all 3 lunch time availability menus. Really confusing and quite stressful trying to make a choice!
The place was really cold and this is never a good start, especially as I am unwell at present (
Got to say, I was not impressed with the food at all, all of our food was quite burnt and shoved together in a hurry type appearance.
The Children didn’t seem to mind and they were well impressed with «the shut the kids up pack» as I call them, they had all sorts of things in there and there was even a multi coloured pencil (would have liked one myself) haha
Was not an enjoyable visit, although the Children were quite happy with charred pizza and games. Will not be going back and would not recommend to others.

Food was good, once we got it, after over an hour of waiting. Even though it was a friday night service was very slow, didnt get change back from money we had payed, had to ask for it back was assumed it was all a tip. Saying that it did have a very good atmosphere and interior is very nice.

I am a convert to Frankie and Benny’s, fo sho. Mostly because Hot Steve really likes it so often suggests we eat there, and therefore pays. I am aware that the quality of the food is not all that, but to be honest, when you’ve been shopping your socks off and there’s a F&Bs over the way and you don’t want to cook yourself but want something to fill you up that’s not a McDonalds, with a bit of swing music playing in the background, then you just do it.
I preferred this one to our local one in Kirkstall as it felt much brighter and the staff were speedier with taking orders and the like. Also we got seated straight away even though it was busy, meaning the drinks bill wasn’t as hefty.
I had the 2 course £9.95 menu (stuffed mushroom then philly cheese burger), and it was all right. The mushroom was flatter than a pancake but the goat’s cheese on top was good quality and tasty. The burger was meaty and cheesy but I wished I’d ordered one with more salad and pickles and stuff in it — mine was a bit rich. The fries we delicious though — clearly freshly cooked. And the puddings at Frankie and Benny’s are always my favourite — I tried the chocolate brownies and they were hot and soft and chocolatey and delish.
Three courses and a drink each came to £38 — not the best food I’ve ever had but I left feeling full up and that was good enough.

Really liked it, went for my brothers birthday and the food was excellent. I was full as f* after i’d finished. Although, if I were paying I might not have enjoyed it as much, it was over 100 quid for 6 of us and only two of us actually drank alcohol.

I think this place is okay –my youngest son loves it –as do a lot of people you always have a fifteen to twenty minute wait unless you come for breakfast which is always quiet. It is not cheap but the décor and staff make it worthwhile. I struggle with the menu –i don not like italian food but the mushroom pizza is excellent –very thin base and chock a block with mudhrooms and taste.

Although this particular Franky & Benny’s has an ideal location next to the cinema and interesting décor, the food in general at F & B’s anywhere always seems overpriced for what u actually get. The staff here were polite and prompt, and very quick to rectify my disappointment with my tiny meal with a big price tag, steack ciabatta sandwich £9.50. This was the 2^nd time i’ve been to one of these restaurants and is likely to be the last. (The first time we went to the one in Kirkstall and waited for ages for the bill and then waited ages to pay for the damn thing; even tried to pay at the till shock horror! only to be told we couldn’t!)

I love it when you go to the loo at this place and there are Italian lessons playing in the loo to keep you busy whilst you are ‘busy’ :0)
Right, food is nice, service is pretty good. not a stack of stuff for veggies, but passable. probably really good for family dining
