The food was good and the kitchen was very quick sending out food. The service was a little lacking. I think our waitress was new, but someone should have been helping her out I feel like.
I would definitely go back though.
Bennigan’s has a lot of great staff and some of the food is delicious. However there is a disconnect at times with service. I was sat out-of-the-way by my request and no waiter had my section. I would get swarmed with waiting staff and then deserted. The manager (Who is British, not Irish :) )apologized for the inconvenience and bought a round for the table. The host, Ari was helpful as well.
My children’s food was rushed in and out which seems great but the delivery was poor, their grilled cheese slices were not melted and the Mac and cheese which resembled Kraft was clumped together like it had not been stirred while cooking.
The Monte Cristo was a unique and tasty sandwich. The French onion was edible. The giant chocolate ice cream covered in chocolate dessert is worth writing about and enough for 3-4 people to share.

I haven't had Bennigan's in 10 years so I was ecstatic when I realized one was nearby in my travels. They have definitely updated their look since I've been to one. The recipes took me on a wonderful trip back in time. I used to work across from a Bennigan's and I would always order a half Monte Cristo sandwich and crock of baked potato soup. Today was such a joy to be able to order the same. The portions are much bigger than I remember so I could only eat half. I also ordered the broccoli bites and they were so good! (Might be why I got full quickly but well worth it 😉)
The staff was very attentive and incredibly friendly. I went mid-afternoon so it wasn't very busy. The food came out quickly and they refilled my drink anytime it got half full. They have great sweet tea!
The restaurant was very clean and I liked the layout. It's a much more open concept than in the past.
I did notice they were a little busy with pick up orders but that did not affect my service at all.
This will now be a regular stop when I'm in the area.
So Bennigan’s used to be all over the place, we used to love them in Jersey. Well, one of the dozen or so left is in FL! Since I was driving past it, I absolutely HAD to stop. The menu has all the old favorites plus some new things on it. They are all OUTSTANDING! Everything is made from scratch in the kitchen since they don’t have a big supply chain anymore. The rueben balls are the BEST. Service is great, the building is super modern and new. Great stop; hope they make a comeback!
I miss this place! Wish they brought them back. Have always loved the Monte Cristo sandwich here and today didn’t disappoint. Just like I remembered, a deep fried ham and Turkey sandwich lightly dusted with confectioners sugar and served with a side of raspberry preserves. Really hit the spot and the sweet potato fries were very good as well. Also had the fried chicken sandwich, which was delicious, but the kicked up cole slaw and spice sriracha aioli dressing was the difference maker. Come support this local business.

I really liked this place. Most of the food was very well cooked and seasoned to perfection. This place can only be compared to meg o mallys in downtown Melbourne, which by far tasted waaaayyyy better. The potatoes were amazing. French fries, mashed potatoes were both extremely good. My girlfriend really enjoyed her soup which was a perfectly cooked loaded baked potatoe soup. My fish and chips was fresh NOT frozen, which the waiter promised. The waiters were all nice and friendly, as well as the host. The only complaint was the fact that we ordered a tower of onion rings. Most of them were perfectly cooked but we did have one that was almost completely raw. Yes, the middle was flour and the onion wasnt cooked. This was the only reason I didn't give the establishment a 5 star rating. If the owners see this review I would like for you to thank who ever my server was, he was truly amazing and went above and beyond. He was a bit younger looking, black dark hair, and was there Sunday night December 23rd around 6pm. One of the best servers in Melbourne.

Enjoyable lunch in a bright, clean dining area with mostly booths. My chicken tenders were cooked to perfection. The ample portion was tasty and the fries were crisp and light.
My wife had the Rubin sandwich (she didn't offer even a bite so it must've been great)😀
An honest letter warning about staffing and supply shortages topped the menu, however we found the service speedy and no shortage for anything we ordered. The prices were reasonable.
My only concern was the music was too loud such that we were not able to hear each other at normal conversation levels. I asked the server to lower the volume and was told that depending on the volume levels of the next song, if it was loud, they would attempt to reduce the volume. I asked them to do better and they indicated they would speak to the owner; I asked to speak with the owner to make my point directly.
The owner came and we had a good conversation about the franchise requirements, including the music feed. I explained that when we eat out we like to talk and, no matter what corporate said, he would likely get more business from us older folks if he created a more welcoming environment.
We will try Bennigans again and see if they got the message.
I mean, it's Bennigan's. I go there when I'm in Melbourne for the same reason anyone not from Melbourne would: chasing 90s kid nostalgia feels. It pays off. Even if it isn't the old wood paneled Irish pub themed place we all see when we think back on simpler times. The Monte Cristo is there, albeit surrounded by a modern setting that begs for the light-dimmer to be turned down by half.
We miss having Bennigan's in Orlando! So glad we were able to get here for lunch today! Turkey O'Toole was as good as always! Very friendly service! If you're in the area, you should pop in for a meal!
I recently had dinner here and was so very impressed with the fantastic service and attention that I received from Niko, he is friendly, efficient and checked on me constantly to make sure I didn't need anything and to ask if my food came out good. I come from a customer service background and really appreciate it when I get great service. It can make or break your dinning experience. He never let me run out of my cocktail even though I was not seated at the bar. Great Job Niko, I will definitely be back and will look for you. Keep doing what you are doing, you are definitely management material.
