I wish I could give this Bennigan's 10 Stars!

The food, service, atmosphere, value, etc... it's all very, very good!

Rami, the manager, could not be a kinder and more professional manager. Such a sweet man!

The servers have all been so kind too.

As for the food, it is really good! It is definitely not just your typical bar food. The food here is at a much higher level imo. I love their broccoli...

I actually haven't been there. Google thinks I have though, because I was googling the closest location to me because I haven't been to one since 1990 in New Jersey when I
I was a little kid.... But I still remember exactly what my bacon cheeseburger tasted like and how much I loved every bite of it!!! So I want to figure out how to taste it again, because I haven't lived anywhere near one since then.
