Frankie & Benny's Restaurant in Croydon

   During my visit, I was not impressed with the food. To be honest, it was barely edible. I ordered mac and cheese since I wasn't very hungry, while my husband chose ribs with chips and coleslaw. As a huge mac and cheese fan, I felt compelled to mention how poorly it was made. It seemed like they used a different type of pasta, smothered it in a sauce that tasted like béchamel, sprinkled some cheddar cheese on top, and then warmed it up in the microwave. The cheese remained gooey and didn’t melt properly. It was not creamy at all, and there were no spices whatsoever. The chips were also very dry and cold, which only added to the disappointment. The only saving grace was the cold beer, which turned out to be the best part of the meal. In the end, we received a discount, which we hadn’t expected. We were fine with paying the full bill, as we only mentioned our disappointment to the staff to let them know they should improve their cooking skills, especially considering they have five different restaurants nearby and are in competition. We won't back to F&B for sure.

   Quiet early meal. Service was great until it tampered off towards the end as more tables arrived. Fair enough, but we wanted to pay and leave and couldn't. Anyway. Food is as expected but we are limited in that area for restaurants that we can drive to and take teenagers. First restaurant that I have come across that serve alcohol free sparkling wine. Very impressed and the mocktail I had was lovely!

   I visited the restaurant Frankie & Benny's has in Croydon for the first time yesterday, and I must say it has been a very pleasant experience in all aspects. From the very first moment I put my feet in the restaurant, staff has provided an excellent customer service, especially Moni, who was the one who assisted us during dinner. Her politeness and permanent smile on her face was an excellent start for our first time at the restaurant. Frankie and Benny's menu is also great. You have a great variety of starters, mains and desserts that makes it difficult to choose only one. Portions are quite generous and the price I paid for dinner is perfectly balanced with the quality of food I had. In conclusion, a first experience that will be the first of many more I will do in future. It is totally worth.

   Frankie and Benny's is a fantastic restaurant that offers a delightful dining experience. It's been know that one of the standout features of this restaurants is the quality of their food. The back ribs and spaghetti dish at Frankie and Benny's sounds like a hearty and satisfying meal. The combination of tender, meaty back ribs with a savory tomato-based sauce over spaghetti is sure to please those who love classic Italian-American flavors. But what really impressed me was the restaurant's innovative payment system. They offer the ability to pay through your phone, which was so convenient and easy to use. This made the whole dining experience even more enjoyable, as I didn't have to wait around for the check or worry about splitting the bill with my friends. Highly recommended!

   Great meal at F&B, Valley Park, Croydon. Nice restaurant. Lots of parking. We chose unlimited soft drinks, which was good value for money. Our food choices included starters of garlic bread & potato skins. Mains of cheeseburger & fries, pepperoni pizza & hot dog & fries. Desserts were chocolate brownie with cream & ice cream. A really good meal, which we all enjoyed.

   Me and my family ate here today. It was crowded, as usual, but the staff were very accommodating. The staff are amazing, even though it was completely packed up, not once did you see any of them look tired. They really do a remarkable job and are always cheerful and helpful. It's always service with a smile. Definitely the best staff. I hope they are paid well. The food is very tasty and the prices are very reasonable. Portions are very generous. Eat here is you want to have tasty food served by amazing staff.

   Very good service and good for big groups. It does get quite busy of a Saturday night! I’d order the chicken and prawn Alfredo pasta again, very generous portion. I wouldn’t recommend the buffalo Mac and cheese bites, nothing special in my opinion.
