Frankie and Bennys

Very mediocre. We had booked and the place was half empty, yet we had to wait 10 mins to be seated — in a cold draught, by the front door.
It was an hour before our food arrived, when it did it was mostly cold or lukewarm.
Our server was OK, but the place appears to be managed incompetently, or at vest indifferently.
If you have another option I would take that.

Not the best American style restaurant in Guildford. Food and ambience are nice. Staff are polite. Allergies are well catered for. Parking can be a problem as this restaurant shares a building with a Travelodge and a gym.

Family-​oriented, 1950’s American-​Italiano style restaurant with a diner feel. It’s large and always full of families and children. Great for your pizzas, pastas, calzones. It has beer so that’s a win and lots of old style photographs. Roomy with huuuge menu selection, my eyes ran wild with delight. There were so many options, I almost got a little nervous deciding between them. (Too much selection makes my head spin). Modelled after the eateries of New York, there are burgers and hot wraps, and salads, and hot dogs, and just a ton of appetizers. And sometimes, this American girl needs the option of a hot dog. Sometimes you just gotta have a hot dog. It’s on my ‘to-​eat’ list for next time.
I finally settled on the New Yorker Calzone, which was fantastic and HUGE. Very American portion sizes. And while most calzones I get are quite crusty and sometimes overbaked on top, this was was almost omelette-​thin. The inside was meaty (Pepperoni, ham, bacon) and the Neopolitan sauce was great. Yum Yum Yum.

Our whole family love Frankie and Benny’s. So much so that my kids named our two kittens Frankie and Benny. Unfortunately, the Guildford branch suffers from insufficient parking but the food and atmosphere are excellent.

i love frankies and bennys as it has all the old style music and an up beat vibe

Food is very average (and greasy). Portions are large though. We have visited twice and don’t intend to return anytime soon. Service is nothing to shout about. However, there is a family environment and it does look like kids enjoy their experience there.

The taste of food at Frankie and Benny’s is quite poor. The servings are quite decent. There is very little variety for vegetarians. The only good thing is the appetisers or the starters. The drinks are about average. You can give it a miss. There are plenty of other places in Guildford to have a good and tasty meal that is priced right.

This is exactly what you would expect from a Frankie and Bennys its great! The menu is american themed and the prices are reasonable and the food is lovely. The starters range from £3.25 to £5.95 and then you have the choice from platters, pizzas, pasta, burgers, steaks, chicken in fact there is quite a large choice and something to suite every taste. The staff are helpful and efficient and its definitely worth a trip if you are in the area and are hungry!
