*This is actually a review for the Perth store*…read more So we decided to have one last meal before the weekend ends so we decide to drive through Callendar and head to Perth's Frankie & Benny's. We get seated almost straight away by the assertive hostess next to the kitchen (my favourite spot) We decide to have the usual - burgers. I chose the bacon cheeseburger and my partner chose the construct my own cheeseburger (sometimes it's like dining with a 5 year old). It took all of five minutes for it to come out and be served to us and it was delicious! I even enjoyed the relish which was mixed with a sweet BBQ sauce and the fries were cooked perfectly. My partner ordered the cheeseburger with the salad on the side, along with chips and relish. The chips were piping-hot - an apparent rarity in most restaurants nowadays (why is it so difficult to ensure food reaches the table at a satisfactory temperature??) where the standard offering is lukewarm coffee served with a portion of yesterday's nachos. These chips had a slight crunch then a perfectly fluffy filling - excellent! The salad was fresh and tasted fantastic with the relish - I'm not even sure what was in the relish but I wanted more. Lastly the burger; something I've failed to be impressed with at F&B's previously! The burger was cooked to perfection, the cheese melted into the meat - the flavour of which seemed to be intensified by the relish. Almost cleared my plate if it wasn't for that pesky bun! We then decided to have a sweet and deliberated over the four different types of waffles: chocolate and honeycomb, mint, banoffee or cinnamon... but then we were faced with another impossible choice... what about the cheesecakes??! My kryptonite! There was: vanilla, salt and caramel or peanut butter cheesecake. So we decided that one of us would choose a waffle and the other a cheesecake and we'd share (I'm nice like that). Now for the hilarious part. I asked the hostess if I could charge my iPhone somewhere as I had a hundred mile journey and was at 16% left! She agreed to charge it at a counter for me. Just before we ordered our dessert I went to "check on my phone", but really I was making our amazing waiter Jordan (shoutout!) aware that it was my boyfriend's birthday and he said "say no more". Suddenly the lights went out for a third time to celebrate someone's birthday and my partner says "oh who's next? That's the third time!" Unbeknownst to him it was for him! His face was 'not-amused face emoji'! But I was 'crying with laughter-faced emoji! We chose the mint waffles which comprised of a cinnamon waffle with two scoops of mint ice cream and the peanut butter cheesecake with peanut butter ice cream - amazing! Lastly, I ordered a coffee and being the coffee fiend that I am, really enjoyed it, I've no idea what blend it was but it tasted different to anything I've had in any local Frankie & Benny's. Jordan was so nice when getting our bill that he took my partner's meal off of the bill as a birthday treat! Fantastic service and well-worth a visit the next time you're passing! A really good end to a perfect week.

The waitress was friendly and very understanding. She also brought us a large pitcher of water without even asking us if we wanted it - awesome! I ordered a Club Triple Decker and my wife ordered a Chicken Pitta with Louisiana Hot sauce. Good arrived promptly, hot, and platted well on white plates. Pricing felt a little steep, but the amount of food that came out put my mind at ease. We both enjoyed our food immensely, including the fries. My club had a chicken breast which was a nice surprise. My only complaint was that the bread was slightly dry - so my mouth feels scratches at the moment, but it was still a good sandwich.

Willows is a bit of an establishment in Perth. This doesn't necessarily work in it's favour…read more While it can't be beat in town for outdoor seating, with it's next door view of the historic St John's Kirk and the cobble stone streets surrounding the controversially derelict city hall, Willows is nowhere near my top places to visit in Perth for anything other than enjoying Suki Tea on a sunny day. And while the outdoor seating is lovely it is overshadowed by the unambitious decor inside. The lunch sandwiches are so-so. My high expectations were let down quite quickly once seeing their slightly more visually appealing than average coronation chicken sandwich. It tastes as good as it looks... just ok. The only redeeming factor for me is that they serve Suki Tea, which I love. But while they serve it in Suki Tea pots, the cups are something out of your gran's favourite cafe... you know the one, it usually serves generic tea bags in a small metal pot with a flat lid that doesn't pour properly. I'll continue to visit here on dry summer days for the outdoor seating, but I have no need to try the food again. Perth is a place of average expectations and Willows meets these.

The staff are eager to please, but perhaps a little too eager? We were approached by 3 different servers for our order before we'd decided. The menu is quite limited, sandwiches/paninis, a few specials and home baking. As a vegetarian my choice was even more limited. My mum asked about the soup, (she doesn't like it too thick) and they helpfully offered to let her taste it and brought a small amount in a cup for her, unfortunately she wasn't keen on it (stock cube taste) but I did order it, as part of the Soup and a Sandwich deal. She instead opted for the special, Avocado, bacon and asparagus salad. She loved it, raved about the dressing and the salad leaves, no bitter stringy rocket! Unfortunately my soup/sandwich was rather less satisfying, the soup was served in a tiny teacup, and my Cheese and Chutney was bog standard cheddar and bought Branston, it was also just half a sandwich, two tiny triangles. Not filling for an adult man, probably just right for the OAP crowd though. We both opted for dessert, neither of us being full. My lemon cake was delicious and a nice big slice, but my mum's local Gloagburn strawberries were a huge bowlful, topped with two full scoops of icecream. The toilets were a weird trek down into the basement and along a basement corridor filled with old junk and noticeboards etc. The portions need a bit of work, either too small, or too large, some consistency needed, but for the price and the community service they are providing it seems churlish to complain too much!

As far as I know, this is the only place in town that serves takeaway dessert waffles. They're really good. They're only £3 and you can get as many or as little toppings as you like. I tend to lean towards getting nutella with strawberries and maybe chocolate sauce. But they have multiple choices of fresh fruit and sweeties to go on top. I also had the chance to try out the chicken sandwich, which is arguably the best takeaway sandwich in town. It's real chicken breast with sauces and salad. I wasn't a huge fan of whatever cheese they used on top, but that may be a personal preference. There are a few seats inside and a bench outside, so if you mustn't dash, then you're in luck.

My fish was amazingly light and flakey, it was a cod fillet, and the fries were a bit under done. The boy said his hamburger was JUST right.

The food didn't look very appetising. As far as the starters went, the chicken pakoras, of which there were only a few remaining when i went in quite late, were the best. For the main courses, the tikka masala, korma and chasni all looked thin and off-puttingly luminous in colour. I tried the chicken dupiaza which i found overly sweet, the southern indian chicken, which was hot but not particularly interesting in flavour, and the lamb bhuna, which i found the most flavoursome. The aloo bhaji (potato side dish) was hot and delicous, but i was less taken with the mushroom bhaji. Desserts were dire - mostly mini cakes, none of which looked fresh or appetising. There were refreshing melon and watermelon slices, which is actually a great finish to a curry. If you are remotely conscientious about what your kids eat, this is not the place for you - omelette, burger, chicken nuggets or fish fingersand chips. Not a veggie in sight! The dinner menu is about 12.00 for which you get an extra four curries in the buffet so lunch is definitely the better deal. My waiter was extremely courteous, so sadly the service was at least 100% better than the food. If i am enticed back, it would be purely because of the service which, when it comes to restaurants, is a difficult justification.
