Frankie & Benny's

The whole package

Well i had never experienced Frankie & Benny's before moving to the area, as it is in close proximity to the cinema I gave it a go one evening & I was very glad i did.

F&B's has a real buzz about it, the staff are very friendly and always upbeat - maybe they have been drinking too many of the fab cocktails they serve up!! My personal favourite is the Pina Colada, they do have many others on offer though.

Food wise F&Bs is never going to win a Michelin star so if you are a food connoisseur then it isn't for you. I do love good food and i have never been able to fault F&Bs. They have a vast menu including pizza, pastas & burgers. I can reccommend the chicken strips to start with, followed by the Chicken New Yorker & the desserts are just so difficult to choose between!!

As i mentioned before it isn't just about the food, its about the whole package at F&B's - the music, the american diner like layout, the staff, the COCKTAILS & the atmosphere.

I would say F&Bs offer good value for money. So if you are looking for a place to eat in Norwich with great atmotsphere F&Bs gets my vote. Oh and if you are looking for an odd way to learn Italian (whilst in the bathroom) F&Bs is for you!!

American Classics

Frankie and Benny's is a lovely american styled restaurant, based in a handy location on the outskirts of Norwich at the Riverside Complex.

They serve large plates of food and have a varied menu, ranging from Burgers, Steaks, Pizzas and Pasta dishes......

There are some nice retro features with the diner style seating areas, ratpack photographs and music and even teach yourself Italian playing whilst in the toilets!!, Id recomend a relaxing visit and you dont need to book the friendly staff can always find you a table :o)

What a great party...

A couple of months before my daughter's 7th birthday we enjoyed a quick family meal at F&Bs. We noticed a sign saying they did a pizza party. Looking for something a bit different we booked it. What a great decision. My daughter and her eight girlfriends had a great time making their chefs hats, making their own pizzas with loads of toppings and tucking into ice-cream sundaes. The staff were absolutely brilliant with the children and we could just sit back and enjoy a drink knowing there was no washing up either.
