Frankie And Bennys - Southampton

The food we had was delicious, and the selection was excellent. The house wine exceeded our expectations. Our waitress was extremely friendly and helpful, especially with the kids. The only downside was the 45-minute wait from the starter to the main course, which made the children a bit restless since they'd finished their meals while ours took quite a while. Otherwise, I would have given it a full 5 stars. It’s a great value for money and offers a relaxed atmosphere, ideal for families with children.

If you're looking for an affordable breakfast before catching a cruise ship from Southampton Harbour, this restaurant is a decent choice. It wasn't very busy, which was a nice surprise, and the food was enjoyable. I had a ciabatta filled with cheese, sausage, and speck, topped with a fried egg. My partner ordered the pancakes, which were light and fluffy. The only downside was that we only had one waitress, which affected the service a bit, but overall, it was a good experience.
