    Unfortunately all our meals were very average. My hotcakes were dry and hard to cut. The Haloumi was extremely salty and the sides especially the beans had virtually no flavour. The kids had popcorn chicken and a kids burger. The popcorn chicken again had very little flavour and the 9 year old wouldn’t eat his burger as it wasn’t nice. As we were on a time crunch we only had time to quickly comment on the sides. I have been coming here for a few years now and unfortunately my last 3 visits have been similar. I couldn’t fault the service though especially the young man who works there just a shame the food is not up to scratch

    Went for Sunday Breakfast - ordered Hotcakes - OMG the best hotcakes I’ve ever had - and beautifully presented. Staff were really friendly. First time that I’ve been to Frankie’s and it definitely won’t be the last

    Friendly and accommodating staff. Good breakfast and coffee. Very noise inside so we opted to sit outside which was satisfactory.
