Frankie & Benny's

We took our granddaughter to the cinema over the weekend. As a bit of an extra treat we decided to take her for dinner also. This restaurant is a short 100 meter walk from the cinema. With ample parking available during the evening at the Crumbles. This was a logical choice. We had not eaten here for some years. No particular reason, just had fallen off our go to list. This was a Saturday evening so after parking up we went into what was a very busy restaurant and booked our table for when we came out of the cinema. We were assured this would be no problem. Off to the show we went. Upon our return, although still busy. We were welcomed warmly, and assured our table would be ready in a few minutes. Only a couple minutes later and we were being shown to our nice booth table. Menus were presented and drinks orders taken. The drinks did take a little while to arrive. But we were not forgotten, just it was that busy. The little lady was eating off the children’s menu and decided on her own what she was having. She picked the Spaghetti Bolognese with garlic bread. We both chose burgers. The children’s meal was good quality and tasty. Came accompanied by a drink and children’s activity sheet. But what really made if for her was the complimentary SQUISHY.. really! I don’t get it to be honest. But this totally made her day. Our burgers were very tasty and well prepared. Brioche buns, this seems to be the norm these days. Fresh fries and quality burger sauce. The restaurant was very clean, table was clean and set up. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. We were checked on at least twice throughout the meal. Toilets too were very clean. The restaurant boasts ample parking and fully disabled access. Very close to the cinema, harbour and lots of shops. We would be happy to eat here again.

Nice atmosphere, nice food, good menu choice, friendly and attentive staff, nice place to eat, I upgrading my rating after my last visit from 4 to 5 stars

My partner and I came here for an anniversary meal last week and we were not disappointed. The Manager Mel was welcoming, chatty and enthusiastic and the waiting staff were friendly and professional.  The service was impeccable and the food was beautiful. We were made to feel welcome and our meal was very reasonably priced. Before we had even finished our meal we were planning the next time we would eat here!

Perfect - The food was perfect, both regular and gluten-free meals. The service was perfect. Jane was attentive, friendly and helpful, well above expectations. The chef was accomodating several requests. We love traditional old school Italian American decor. We wish they would keep it. The gluten free menu was easy to read, plentiful, and varied. Sharon did not feel like she was missing out or that anything was too much trouble. PERFECT.

We had a party of 10 tonight, served by the lovely Jane - we were amazed by the good value and delicious handmade food, no frozen rubbish here. Stone fired pizza and proper fried bacon in my burger. Jane was a fabulous waitress who persevered with us all paying separately, was chatty and super friendly. We'll be back soon for simple, tasty, great value food and lovely service!
