You know the music I am talking about, do you like it too?

kitty86 · 28/04/14 - 22:09

I love the music in Frankie and Benny's, I sing along all the time. Haven't gone quite so far as buying the CDs but I have been close.

djfunnyman · 28/04/14 - 22:13

Yes, it is absolutley fantastic! I love music like Sinatra that they play

I find that if you listen to it at home it doesn't have the same feel as in the restaurant but that might be because I go frequently.

The music in F&B drives me crazy... Probably because the service is so spectacularly bad in every branch I've been in that I've heard every song at least twice before the starters even arrive.

Nope, I've never been in one. The nearest one to me is 30 miles away and I only know that because I just looked on the website. They could be playing death metal for all I know

You need to get down there they play 50's and 60's music like Beach Boys, Sinattra, Everly Brothers, Cliff Richard, Bobby Vee etc.

Yes, I do like the music in F&B's, not had bad service myself but don't go in there often.

Do they have Italian words being played in the toilets in all the branches? The first time I went, I couldn't stop laughing i found it so strange.

Except they're all covers rather than the originals.

Yeah they do.

Have you never needed to know how to ask where the bus station is in Italian, while peeing?

this thread should be in the music forum

Looks like the originals to me.

That is what I am thinking because there is no disclaimer saying that it is covers which I am pretty sure would not be legal to have without, it also has a record label behind it.

Went in one for the first time a few weeks ago, loved it. Had gorgeous food too and it had a nice atmosphere.

In Frankie and Benny's, if they run out of certain foods they send staff to the nearest supermarket to buy the cheapest stuff they can get.

Thats convenient. The one near me is about 100 yards from Asda!

scoobyju1 · 29/04/14 - 09:56

I kinda don't mind the music but the amount of times I have to hear Cliff flaming Richards because of people's birthdays...really annoys me >:(

What do you think other restaurants do? I doubt anyone going to Frankie & Benny's is expecting the finest of ingredients.

megatron_man · 29/04/14 - 13:30

love the music in frankie and bennys .... love the whole setting!!. i would love to visit a resturarant that had a 1940's vibe... with the 1940's music in the background etc

Vodka_Drinka · 29/04/14 - 13:41

Shame about the food though, in every Frankie and Benny's I've ever been in its been crap.

Which begs the question as to why you keep going?
