Nicely decorated and pleasant staff. Very efficient, with a short wait time. My very hungry 7 year old was very happy with his food. Good selection and we always enjoy the salad bar and ice cream! Only slight negative was the loud background music, but it won't stop us going back.

Unfortunately we were very disappointed with the salad bar choices - with pasta, couscous, potato salad and breadsticks no longer an option. On asking why this was, we were told that the changes were as a result of a move to a healthier options menu. Find this very hard to believe given they were still providing tortilla chips and, heaven forbid, pizzas!! No prior warning was given of the changes, so we were left feeling rather unhappy with our experience.

Good value for money. But no consistency in the corn cooking. Sometimes crunchy and sometimes just too cooked! Gravy can also be a hit and miss as it has been very watery last time. Friendly staff, really helpful and can accommodate to various non spicy request to get just a chicken breast, point out best deals, offer water for the dog when sitting outside.

Really good selection of good on the menu. Staff very helpful, good opening hours. Unlimited soft drinks and salad was nice too. Very clean and fresh. Items on the menu seams expensive but you get good quality food and decent portion sizes. Would recommend!

Nice food. However, hot evening and not much aircon. Sat on the window side on right hand side of the restaurant, blazing sun right in my face and absolutely melting. I had to keep wiping sweat off. Table behind asked to move but nowhere for us to move. Restaurant should invest in blinds. Must say though, they give out really good packs for the kids, kept them occupied all the time we were there.

First time we've been, and we thought it was REALLY good. Much better than the impression I've had from other people. Pizzas were cooked fresh, were crisp but not over cooked... Rich but not overwhelming the ingredients, fast but not nervously so. Will be going back again on the Meerkat Meals deal!

Nice contemporary look with a mixture of seating, the best being the booth areas if you can get one. The booking service online works well and I have not tried the app yet. We had a nice lunch during the Easter break, mid week and it wasn't too busy, so the service was fairly quick. The staff are friendly and know the dishes well, without over selling. Our starters and mains were excellent, although perhaps a bit too much rocket on my 'posh pepperoni'. We were not rushed and the food came out at a good pace at each course. The deserts and coffees were nice and completed an overall good lunch. We used tesco to Prezzo vouchers and that worked well and is exceptionally good value. The restaurant is in good spot close to the huge M&S, Next and John Lewis. There is plenty of well spaced parking.

Good service. Was an issue with my pizza which they offered to replace and took it off the bill. Good food too

Called here with work colleagues as we were staying in the area. A typical Frankie & Benny's on a busy retail park. All the usual menu items available. Friendly staff. All the food was well cooked and arrived in good time. I would recommend this resturant.

Great vegetarian options but nothing I liked. It was very quiet when we were there. A Thursday 17.00. The waitress was just lovely. I personally wouldn't go back because there wasnt much I liked on the menu but that's only because I'm boring lol it's great to see more than 2 vegetarian options on the menu. My son really enjoyed his fish and chips, a big plate full and looked lovely. I had mozzarella salad which was nice. Great that you can pay on your mobile and don't need to wait for the server to come back with the card machine.

Loved it here, only had takeaway but got free prawn Crackers which I love. Defo off back again

Food as ever amazing & service good.

While looking on-line we came across the Mulan and the good reviews. When we arrived we were surprised to see the location and to be honest we would have passed had it not have been for the reviews. That would have been a big mistake. The food was excellent and the staff are brilliant. I would recommend it. Needless to say we have revisited many times. Enjoy!

Had a beautiful meal here, food and service was great couldn't say a bad word about this place. We went for the 2 person set menu and it is absolutely worth the money for both taste and value, the portions are HUGE we had to take half home. Would highly recommend.

Think they may have had a holiday chef on as the food tasted different but still good service

Quick and friendly service, good quality food at standard take away prices. My only negative is that sometimes the sweet and sour sauce is a bit too vinegary and makes me choke but my partner disagrees so it may just be me.

Really good grub! I think that I had the best mixed grill I've ever had... 32oz of meat! It was really well cooked too. England were playing so it was really quiet. Service was spot on and very friendly! If you love meat it's definitely worth a look, my girlfriend had a steak and that was awesome too. We would definitely go back.

Wish I could give more stars! Fantastic place. We visited for father's day with 4 young children, the staff especially the owner were AMAZING I have never felt so welcome by staff, they even gave the children toys to play with and ended up playing with a scooter in the restaurant, fantastic balance of keeping all diners happy with or without children. Will definitely be going back for the great atmosphere and food!!!

First visit. Long wait for lunch. W's flat bread hot and delicious when it finally arrived after a long wait. D's veggie burger barely warm. Sent it back and for same as W instead. Delicious - and very hot. Very pleasant waiter explained that there were problems in the kitchen that day and the General Manager was cooking. They refused to accept payment for my returned meal so they more than made amends for the problem and the wait. They therefore get a 4 🌟 review. We will go back. So should you.

The food at Giraffe is very good, a fairly wide selection and superb service. The staff are attentive and efficient, the food is cooked quickly and properly, all in all a great experience. They do however loose a star due to their exceptionally poor choice of vegetarian options and their tendency to automatically add a 10% gratuity to the bill rather than allowing the customer to add one to reflect their satisfaction. I would however recommend this establishment for a nice casual meal out with family or friends.

Great venue for anyone especially families and young children. Children's play area, ball pit.. disabled access outdoor and indoor eating. Great carvery excellent menu, good beers and wines. If your dieting then don't go near the deserts, wow they're fantastic. A really good place to eat and drink at affordable prices. Very convenient for Monks Cross shopping.

Busy family atmosphere, great for kids. Tasty food at reasonable prices. Half decent beer selection at times but they have no idea how to look after it. Number of times I've had to send a beer back because it's gone sour, been oxidised or other off flavours, it's not even funny. Taste everything before you get a pint of it.
