Bennigan's - West Melbourne

I prefer to eat in a place not run by whiny lil' babies, even if their tears were delicious.

So , so far not so good. They are out of 9 beers on tap so settled for an ice tea. Then I order Hogan 's Egg Rolls and I get regular Chinese egg rolls. What a joke I ask about them and the excuse is, oh, sometimes they send us the wrong item, then that should be explained to the customer ahead of time ahead of ordering them. Let 's see if the Monte Christo is worth my wait........Well the flavor is there but just did not hit the mark. The lunch meat used in the sandwich tasted cheap and for some reason a little tough. Doubt I would return to Bennigans as it is not what it used to be.

We stopped for lunch because we saw the sign that said Lunch Specials. Disappointed to find there are only two a half sandwich club or monte cristo with a cup of soup. We each had the m.c. and it was pretty good. The soups were hot and about what you'd expect at a chain restaurant. The inside of the restaurant is nothing special. The service was ok. A big problem I saw as I passed the service area while returning from the restroom, was a waitress who filled two glasses by plunging them into the ice. That's a health code violation as well as a dangerous practice.

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.

We stopped in for lunch on a cold winter day , first thing I asked for a cup of coffee. To my surprise they ran out of coffee. To warm up on this cold day I ordered the French onion soup instead. It came out Luke warm, the onions were undercooked and the cheese barely melted. I ordered the Ruben sandwich. My first reaction where 's the meat ? Lots of bread and little else. When I asked if this is how it was intended to be served the response was we weigh our meat and that 's the full 4 ounces that we put on our sandwich . The waitress was polite and offered to have it remade, but I don 't send back to the kitchen. While the food was tasty, I won 't be going back.
