About Frankie & Benny's
Frankie & Benny's is a chain Italian restaurant in Victoria Square, Belfast, on Roof Garden. The menu pairs Italian dishes with American comfort food, and it includes a whole rack of ribs. Chicken Parmigiana and Caesar Salad with chicken sit alongside it, and vegetarian and vegan options are on the menu too. Cocktails and Guinness are served with the meal. Tables can be booked in advance, while walk-ins can face a wait for a table when the restaurant is busy. Birthday celebrations and large groups are catered for, and group bookings are confirmed by a phone call with a manager.

Customer Review Summary
The complaints are about neglect and food quality. Three reviewers describe sitting with no one taking a drink or food order, one with empty plates left on nearby tables and another who walked out of a birthday booking. One was given no cutlery with a starter and had to walk to the kitchen to ask. Others report barely warm food, an overcooked chicken, and a small Chicken Parmigiana with little flavour, with no pasta available that day. One reviewer's pram table was dirty and had chips on the floor.

“Had a table booked for 4pm on Monday afternoon, got seated and 15 minutes had passed and nobody had came by for even a drink order or nothing. There was empty food plates sitting all around us on other tables and had been sitting there since we arrived. I understand it may have been busy or other circumstances but was just not happy with the service at all - it was for my partners birthday also and it just dampened the mood after looking around the restaurant and waiting. Ended up walking out and getting food elsewhere. They didn’t reference check the name or anything either that was booked for the table , so I don’t know if the personal requests part when you’re making a reservation for the table is being looked at ( I also had one of these in). Probably wouldn’t come back after this”

“I attended recently with a large group of students. Booking was simple and easy and a phone call with manager ensured all the details were confirmed. We had such a warm welcome and supportive staff helped us all get settled. Food was tasty and prices were great. Would definitely recommend for large group bookings! :)”
