Frankie & Benny's

Much to my surprise I really enjoyed our meal. I'd never been before. Arguably the best vege burger and chips I've had in a chain restaurant. What was also very refreshing was being served a good baked cheesecake in a restaurant. That's very rare in my experience. The service was excellent - our waiter was warm and friendly and very quick. Given it was my 43rd birthday I could have done without being the centre of attention for 30 seconds when happy birthday started blaring out but I appreciated the thought! I also had a really good cocktail ( Raspberry Bramble) which was reasonably priced at £8.90. The only downside was the atmosphere which was pretty flat given it was maybe a third to a half full at 6pm on a Friday. The decor is starting to look quite tired too. It's a shame because the food deserves better.

Was sat very quickly by very accommodating staff, who asked after what sort of seat/table we wanted as friend I was with was in a wheelchair. Waitress was very efficient and friendly. Food came very quickly. Vegan burger was delicious with jalapeños giving the burger a great bite. Meat burger was good too. Brisket beans were very nice Overall, a great meal with super service. Was very impressed!

To be fair, the staff made it so much better than I expected. Franchise as expected, place looked as expected, our lovely friendly Polish waitress really made the difference. Very friendly, attentive to our large group (work meal). They sang for our birthday boy and even managed our huge order of x15 p'star martini's! Thank you.
