Visit & Vibes

When I received an invitation to Frango’s Kitchen, located in Linwood, Paisley, for a meal, my friend and I arrived at the restaurant.

My friend felt a sense of familiarity with the area, but I couldn’t recall having been there before. As we entered Frango’s Kitchen, the spaciousness and modern design, as evident in the photos, struck us.

The atmosphere was cosy, with various seating options available for dining in or waiting for takeout, including barstools by the window to enjoy the Scottish weather.

Upon opening the package, I was pleased with the generous portion size, making it good value for money. I eagerly anticipated indulging in this meal.

Starting with the fries, I found them to be perfectly cooked, with a delightful peri flavour. They were impeccably seasoned, earning praise from my friend as well.

Moving on to the grilled chicken burger, I found it to be tender and flawlessly grilled, complemented by lettuce, mayo, and other salad ingredients. Each bite was thoroughly enjoyable.

5 Spicy Chicken Wings

My friend ordered some spicy chicken wings, and after sampling one, I decided to include them in my review. You receive a generous portion size, making it excellent value for money.

The chicken wings were perfectly cooked, with a delightful deep-fried batter coating them. In terms of spice level, I found it manageable, with a subtle kick towards the end. As someone with a lower tolerance for spicy food, I appreciated the mild heat.

I learned that the spice level has been adjusted to accommodate various preferences, which I believe is commendable. It’s important to make such changes to ensure customer satisfaction, creating a win-win situation.

Overall, the chicken wings were delicious, and I would certainly order them again.

I had to satisfy my sweet tooth, so I decided to end my meal with something sweet—a slice of Biscoff cheesecake. When it arrived, I was impressed by the generous portion size and its appealing appearance, and I couldn’t wait to indulge.

The Biscoff cheesecake was incredibly delicious and rich. Its thickness allowed me to easily scoop up a satisfying bite with each spoonful. It truly lived up to its reputation, delivering on flavour and texture. After finishing it, I felt pleasantly full and thoroughly satisfied.

Final Thoughts…

Firstly, a big thanks to the hosts for the invitation. My friend and I had a delightful meal, thoroughly enjoying our orders.

It’s heartening to see these small eateries popping up, and having visited a few, I can confidently say that the food here is exceptionally tasty and offers great value for money. I urge you to bypass the big chains like McDonald’s and Burger King and opt for these local gems instead. The meals are more satisfying, better priced, and far tastier.

If you find yourself in the area or passing through, I encourage you to make a stop. There’s a convenient car park behind the location, allowing for easy access.

Simply park, stroll over, place your order, and enjoy your meal. Afterwards, I’d love to hear about your dining experience and the dishes you tried. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments.

Visit & Vibes

I was fortunate enough to receive an invitation to the pre-launch of LuckyB’s on Hillington Road, Paisley Road West, for their new branch opening.

Tonight’s event promised a variety of attractions including food, a DJ, a saxophone player, and a fire dancer. Having previously visited LuckyB’s in Giffnock, I departed after enjoying my meal, albeit with a slight aftertaste from the burger, which left me somewhat hesitant to return.

However, as you continue reading, you’ll discover that I had a fantastic time at the event. The food surpassed my expectations, and it’s a place I’ll be recommending. Stay tuned to learn more about my experience, the dishes I tried, and my overall impressions.

Upon entering, I was struck by the spaciousness of the venue, exuding that signature vibrant red LuckyB’s style.

There’s a designated area for ordering, whether you prefer to dine in or opt for takeaway, allowing you to witness the chefs in action behind the scenes. Additionally, there are various seating options available, including seated sections and even a booth if you choose to dine in.

Upon entering, we were greeted by the DJ (DJ Major) spinning some amazing tunes, accompanied by the incredibly talented saxophonist (Saxingh) whose performance was truly impressive. The fire dancer captivated us with her mesmerizing skills, providing entertaining moments throughout her performance.

Even after her departure, the captivating music from the saxophonist and the DJ continued, enhancing the already fantastic atmosphere of the evening from the moment we arrived, throughout the meal, and until we departed.

Before placing our orders tonight, samples of each spice level of the burgers, including the chicken burgers, were brought out. I tried all of them, and while the hottest one proved to be too fiery for my taste, I did enjoy the standard and medium hot levels, which left me quite satisfied. Although the spiciest one had a delightful flavour, I’m unsure if I could handle a full chicken burger at that heat level.

Perhaps I’ll give it a try during my next visit. Stay tuned to see if I do!

The Food

BUFFALO BURGER £n/a tonight (normally £8.29)
Chicken tenders IN buffalo sauce, cheese dripping, JALAPEñOS & pickles

There were numerous tempting burger options to choose from, but the Buffalo Burger particularly piqued my interest, so I decided to go with that one, opting for the standard level of spiciness just to play safe.

This burger was massive, it had a delightful aroma.

As shown in the pictures above, the Buffalo Burger was BIG, requiring me to use both hands to hold it, and it demanded quite an effort to take a substantial bite.

The burger itself was amazing. Each bite delivered an explosion of flavour, with perfectly cooked chicken that was exceptionally tender, thanks to their new intense fryers, a detail I learned about during the evening.

The combination of buffalo sauce, cheese, jalapenos, and pickles worked really well, resulting in an overall amazing flavour. While I could have easily indulged in another serving, I restrained myself from going overboard.

I highly recommend trying this burger if you ever visit. In my opinion, it ranks among the best chicken burgers I’ve ever tasted. Although I plan to explore other menu options upon my return, I suspect I’ll find it hard to resist ordering the Buffalo Burger again, given how much I enjoyed it.

Tater Tots £n/a tonight (normally £3.29)

For my side dish, I chose tater tots.

Lately, whenever I’ve had the opportunity to try them at various events or venues, I’ve discovered that I, really, really enjoy them. So naturally, that’s what I decided to order tonight.

I selected the tater tots with cheese, and I was also offered the option of having them dusted with seasoning, although I can’t recall exactly what it was. Nevertheless, it added a subtle kick to the flavour, which complemented the dish perfectly.

These tater tots were incredibly tasty and disappeared in no time at all. I thoroughly relished every bite and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone visiting. I thoroughly enjoyed these tater tots, and once again, I highly recommend them to anyone who visits.

Final Thoughts…

First and foremost, a huge thank you to the hosts for extending the invitation to me tonight. I’m incredibly grateful that I decided to attend, as my initial expectations of it being just okay quickly transformed into excitement about returning to savour more of their delicious offerings.

Furthermore, I discovered that the improvements implemented at this branch will also be applied to the Giffnock location. I’m eagerly anticipating revisiting that branch once the changes have been made, to see if it maintains the same exceptional standard that I experienced tonight.

Initially, I was hesitant about attending, as I was somewhat undecided about it. However, after tonight’s outstanding experience, I am now adding this restaurant to my list of top dining destinations.

The quality of the food surpassed my expectations, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to others. I’m already looking forward to my next visit, so be sure to give it a try!
