Fall is here, and there's nothing better than some good old-fashioned comfort food at Bennigan's!

Our Signature Chicken Tenders are crispy, golden, and packed with flavor. Served with seasoned fries, coleslaw, and our signature dipping sauce, they're the kind of meal that hits the spot on a crisp autumn afternoon.

And at Bennigan's, we don't skimp on the good stuff!

For 50 years, we've believed that great food should deliver both quality AND quantity. Our chef driven, scratch made favorites, generous portions, and exceptional value are what keep generations of guests coming back.

It's all part of our mission to create a Legendary brand experience with every meal, every guest, every day, through our remarkable people, chef driven food, innovative drinks, and warm, friendly Irish hospitality.

And as Bennigan's continues to grow, we're bringing that same Legendary experience to more communities around the world!

Fall is in the air, and there's nothing quite like a World Famous Monte Cristo™ to make the season a little more delicious!

Golden, crispy, dusted with powdered sugar, and served with our signature red raspberry preserves, the Monte Cristo is the perfect combination of sweet and savory. And when the weather starts cooling down, there's something especially satisfying about digging into a Bennigan's classic.

We didn't invent the Monte Cristo. We perfected it and made it World Famous!

For 50 years, Bennigan's has believed that great food should never mean choosing between quality and quantity. Our chef driven, scratch made favorites are prepared with care, served in generous portions, and designed to give our guests real value for their money.

It's all part of our mission to create a Legendary brand experience with every meal, every guest, every day, through our remarkable people, chef driven food, innovative drinks, and warm, friendly Irish hospitality.

And as Bennigan's continues to grow, we're bringing those same Legendary flavors to more communities around the world.

The Bennigan’s comeback isn't happening by accident. It's happening because people like our CEO, Paul Mangiamele, refuse to stop fighting for this Legendary brand.

Paul recently joined the Room for Seconds podcast to talk about Bennigan’s, Steak and Ale, and the passion behind bringing two American restaurant icons back into the spotlight.

For Paul, this is about more than opening restaurants. It's about protecting a legacy, honoring the generations of guests who love these brands, and making sure a whole new generation gets to experience them.

And the Bennigan’s comeback is real!

As we celebrate 50 years, we're continuing to grow, bringing our World Famous Monte Cristo™, chef driven food, innovative drinks, generous portions, and warm, friendly Irish hospitality to communities around the world.

Our mission remains to create a Legendary brand experience with every meal, every guest, every day. We believe great food should deliver both quality and quantity, along with exceptional value and the kind of hospitality that keeps people coming back.

Paul's passion for Bennigan’s is a reminder that some brands are simply too special to give up on.

And we're just getting started.

We're looking for franchise partners who share that passion and want to help bring Bennigan’s to even more communities.

Things are getting spooky at Bennigan’s, and our bartenders are brewing up something wickedly delicious for Halloween!

Meet two hauntingly good additions to our Creep Week cocktail lineup.

Orange Gummy Spooky-tini brings a splash of Halloween orange to your glass, complete with a dark, spooky rim.

Spider Sense is a frightfully fun creation featuring a rich red cocktail, a cloud of blue cotton candy, and a creepy crawly finishing touch.

At Bennigan’s, we believe great drinks deserve just as much attention as our legendary scratch-made food. Our bartenders bring creativity, craftsmanship, and a little Irish hospitality to every handcrafted cocktail.

These spooky sips won’t be haunting our menu forever, so stop by and celebrate Halloween the Bennigan’s way!
