Great food, great setup. Nothing bad on the menu
Food was mediocre at best. Our waitress was afraid to come near us or check up on us after delivering our food. It's just a very stale atmosphere.

They were extremely busy, and understaffed, our server looked like she was working every table alone. She did an excellent job, and kept our drinks topped up, and checked in several times on our party of 7.

Need to avoid when classic cars take over the parking lot. Had one drink and appetizer. Had to put ice in my tap beer. The sliders were alright but the onion strings were pulverized and not seasoned. Not sure we will be back anytime soon

I always enjoyed the food at Bennigan's, but I hadn't been here in many years. When I returned a few weeks ago, the food was at least as good as I remember, maybe better. But the remodeling they've done - Wow! Very nice! The location obviously is what it is, but inside? It used to be kind of dark, very much an American chain Irish pub feel. Now it's a light, bright, open, fresh vibe. I'll be back!

Absolutely on point service and a perfectly made Monte Christo. We were sharing and they split the food onto 2 plates for ease.

There really aren’t enough words to describe this place! I put an online order and set it to be picked up at 6:45. After finding out my kid had car trouble I called to tell them I would still pick it up just a little later. I got there and they INSISTED to remake our order so it’s fresh for us. So very grateful with act of kindness. Thank you!!!

I went specifically for the Monte Christo sandwich and IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! If you've never tried one of these you must! It's a ham, turkey & cheese sandwich dipped in batter and deep fried. Served with boysenberry jam. Here you actually get two sandwiches - 4 slices of bread so 2 complete sandwiches. Plus a load of fries. Place is kind of a regular coffee shop restaurant but clean and nice. Service is great. Everything else on the menu looks great too. Reasonable prices. I highly recommend.

We wasn’t really happy with the service all of our kids were free because of the stay at the hotel but then me and my fiancé got charged 40 bucks for 2 10 dollar meals and the lady couldn’t explain to us why it was so much and she caught an attitude over the question but it’s like they charged us a tip on top of the 20 plus tax and the food was okay not all that good for the price we feel like we got played but for the most part they was nice.

One of my favorite meals! I do prefer ranch instead of the raspberry sauce they normally serve with the monte cristo, but both are great choices.
