We visited Bennigan’s, the last one in the area, in Elgin, on Saturday, December 13, 2025. The food is always delicious there but it’s never busy and sometimes the wait time to get the food is ridiculously long. It had been six months since our last visit and the remodel looked really nice. They remodeled the hotel exterior in 2024 and the restaurant remodel this year looked cool too. We like visiting but it’s something that we have gradually decreased over the years. Definitely...
December 2025
Great little bit too expensive place. The appetizers are phenomenal. That Sriracha shrimp is to die for. Simply divine. Try their mango-flavored Long Island iced tea. What the what.
December 2025
We had breakfast here twice because it was so good!
I had ham ( to die for) eggs, hashbrowns & toast.
You won’t walk away hungry from here and did I mention the ham … omg, delish!!
