Dated brand, crap service and food was awful

I think if they hadn’t cheapened the menu and become too greedy, they could quite happily have survived. But the lockdown has sorted the wheat from the chaff. This is only the beginning.

Phew!

Damn , ppl don't rate this restaurant 🤨

I’d rather eat one of their discount vouchers

Good overpriced shit

Thank god! Awful places, awful microwaved food!

Overpriced average fair in a novel environment. Tragedy for staff but otherwise no loss.

Sh!thole establishment tbh.

Who's feeding the rats?

Overpriced, microwave shite - even with the never ending 50% off vouchers. Haven't been in one in over 2 years. I feel sorry for the staff though.

Who tf goes there anyways?

Sad for the staff, but otherwise it’s really no great loss, is it?

Having eaten in Frankie and Benny's, I can confirm this isn't necessarily bad news..
