"Had a really nice date night at Frankie and Bennys Leicester, our waitress Angelica was amazing! She was really nice and attentive and doing a great job on a busy Saturday. Also I recommend the Blueberry pancakes as they’re delicious :)"

"Visited at the weekend along with my family. It was busy and got even busier.
The waitress was friendly and helpful. After we'd ordered our food and drink she told us there was only one person doing the drinks, so we'd have to wait. She wasn't wrong.
Food arrived after not too long, but most meals had items that were cold, chips, onion rings etc.
When I paid the bill the waitress asked if we could leave a tip in cash, we told her we didn't have cash and her attitude changed! Not what we expected!"

"Today me and my friend visited Frankie and Benny’s which was so nostalgic from my childhood. The decor of the restaurant was accurate to being an American Italian restaurant. We were served by Amelia who was lovely and earned a well deserved tip, so thank you Amelia. Will definitely be visiting again because of her and the lovely food! :)"
