Frankie & Benny’s

Love this place. Friendly staff and service with a smile. Food is lovely, had the fish and chips with a salad and enjoyed it. A nice glass of wine went down well and finished off with a beautiful flat white coffee.

My favourite part of Meadowhall (shamelessly admitting) is the Oasis, and most people know that I LOVE American-​style food. I’ve been to Frankie & Benny’s in Doncaster a couple of times and it has been great, so myself and my friend Ana went for lunch here.
Initially when we arrived it was pretty busy, so we were given a device which was to beep when there was a table available for the two of us — a great idea in my opinion instead of turning people away, and we went for a drink in Coal bar (about 30 metres away).
We took advantage of the lunch offer and got a starter to share, two mains and a dessert to share, all of which came to about £10, but we also had drinks and milkshakes which brought the bill to £13.50 each. That was very reasonable, we had to leave half of the dessert because I was stuffed to the brim!
Great food — I had an amazing burger for mains, we shared garlic doughballs for starters and chocolate brownie with cream and ice cream for dessert.
Also, as you know I like to mention staff, well done to the incredible waiter Arron (I assume this was his name as someone at the bar called him it) who served us quickly and with a smile, you definitely deserved our praise and tip! 5 star experience F&B’s!

We were a party of 8 that turned up for lunch on a Saturday. We were greeted by a friendly manageress who was very attentive and kept us updated as we waited for a large enough table. The service was very friendly and efficient, and the lunch was excellent value. The premises were very clean and the place had a very pleasant atmosphere. Its popularity was well deserved.

Youngest son and I had some time to kill so we decided to eat.
Lots of eateries to choose from at Meadowhall but this is the one he chose.
It wasn’t busy, perhaps one third full and they had a pleasant, unpushy lady at the entrance tempting in passing trade.
Once inside we waited at the desk for several minutes until we were scooped up by a passing waiter and offered a choice of seating (inside\outside) Service was slow but I did feel sorry for our waitress as there were obviously few staff on duty. I chose a steak wrap with fries and son chose fish fingers with fries. My steak wrap (tender strips of prime steak with red onion and peppers smothered in sauce) held a goodly amount of fat and sauce and a few bits of onion, lean meat and peppers. I’m told the fish fingers were nice.
For desert we both chose fruit salad (because we care about out bodies) but there was good news and bad news. Good news the fruit was fresh. Bad news we knew this because there were still bits of pineapple skin in there.
My son was a little put out because the menu assured him that he would get three fruits he likes and so he didn’t mind giving away his kiwi but when his dish arrived there had been major substitutions made.
We had opted for special deal meals but the price was still too high for the quality of food.
As to portion size well, they wouldn’t amuse a real New Yorker!
