This used to be our main choice of restaurant if we were eating out however our last couple of visits (in the Ashton and Denton branches) have been extremely disappointing - on both occasions we just left after the starter. In Ashton we were due to go to the cinema however went in and got sat down 90 minutes before the film began. It took 25 minutes for someone to come over and ask what we wanted to drink!! Another 15 mins for our order to be taken - it was that slow we actually asked how long food would take. We ordered a starter and a main meal however 20 minutes before the film was due to start we were still waiting for our main!! So we had to cancel it (by the way in all this time we hadn't been asked if we wanted anymore drinks - we had to ask). In Denton we ordered a starter and a main however the dough balls we ordered for starters were so hard again we cancelled our main meal. We are so disappointed especially when we used to be regulars however it will take us a while before we chose Frankie and Benny's to eat again.
