The staff here are fantastic. They were very accommodating of our kids. They checked in regularly and also held the door for us on the way out. The food was meh, not something that would make me come here again. Alot of the food lacked seasoning. As long as you are fine with that then no problems. No major complains about atmosphere, its what you expect of a bar.

I hadnt been to a Bennigans since the early 90s ..I didnt even know they still had any in Illinois ..with that said I rode out to Elgin to chk it out ..I had the legendary Monte Cristo with the berry jam ..Loaded mash potatoes.. bread pudding & ice cream.. Ice tea ..everything was just as it usta be tastee fresh and good .. my one hold back was that my goto desert at Bennigans for 40 yrs was the Apple Cobbler with ice cream that they said they dont have on the menu anymore but they did have the cod fish fry which I also usta get .. it was a fun & tastee flashback … OQ

As I walked into one of 6 remaining Bennigan’s in the US, the nostalgia hit me like a Britney number 1 hit. As I was transported back in time, I half expected the Smashing Pumpkins to greet us, but alas, TLC was right – don’t go chasing those waterfalls. It was almost like Bennigan’s never went away, except of course, for the fact this one was attached to a Holiday Inn.
We were greeted by a friendly server and found ourselves sitting near a woman celebrating her 100th birthday, no doubt remembering Bennigan’s as a staple during her heyday. The decor took me back to 1998, when all I had to worry about was having a cool AIM profile and not cramping up during my Backstreet Boys pool aerobics.
We didn’t need to look at the menu but we did for old time sake. The broccoli bites were a must and they came out hot, crispy, and served on a bed of onion straws, like every good appetizer should. The honey dijon dipping sauce was divine and should be served on everything.
Next came the main entrees. Do they still have the Irishman Whiskey Glazed burger? Yes. Did I order it? Well no, but it’s there for next time. My wife ordered the Kilkenny Country Chicken Salad, with crispy chicken of course and I ordered the classic – the Turkey O’Toole. I have had dreams of this sandwich. Bennigan’s was serving the Turkey O’Toole on a pretzel bun before people knew pretzel buns were cool and they did it to perfection. Today was no different. My sandwich was a cheesy, buttery, turkey dream. Did I mention it was smothered in the honey dijon? Did I also mention I used the extra honey dijon from the broccoli bites to dip my fries in? Fries that happened to be the crispiest, fattest fries not in the steak fry family.
We finished lunch off with the brownie and ice cream. Did we need it? No. Were we full? Oh yes. Did we eat it anyway? You betcha! It was only as I paid the tab that I remembered it was 2025, but even by 2025 standards it was very reasonable.
Overall it was worth the 45 minute drive out to Elgin. The people were nice, the food was great, and if you get drunk you can stumble to the front desk and ask for a room. I’ll end by saying Bennigan’s should quit playing games with my heart, and open more locations.

Popped in to celebrate my dad’s birthday. We live about 2 hours away from here, and it’s a favorite! We were so sad to see the Chicago location go. It was always a must on our trips to the city. When we discovered this location, we were thrilled. We’ve been in 4 or 5 times now. The food is just as good and brings back great memories! Everything was delicious and cooked just right. Couldn’t be happier, and we will be back again in the future!

We have been visiting this location for many years. Unfortunately we don’t live near the restaurant. We were fortunate to be in the area and planned to have a Friday lunch on the way home. We were seated quickly and our server was attentive and had our drinks and appetizers out quickly. They have a Friday Fish Fry and my guys both had to order. I am very fond of Ruben Sandwich. The meal was hot and plentiful. We were treated well and had take out leftovers. Keep up the Great Service and Fantastic Food.

I enjoyed my time at Bennigans. The food was good, nothing outstanding. The server we had was excellent. It was not crazy busy for a Friday evening. I needed to go out and just enjoy an evening with family. I would definitely go back again.

Went in Saturday afternoon and had plenty of seating options. Ordered onion rings, calamari, Reuben balls (?), and mozzarella sticks. The cheese sticks were cheesy. The Reuben balls were tasty. The cheese sticks were cheesy. The onion rings were thick, but seemed to need seasoning.
They were out of calamari. The waitress was nice. The restaurant is attached to the holiday Inn.

I was planning a small family reunion of about a dozen people, and needed a place to hold the event. Bennigan’s on Airport Rd. in Elgin was at a great location, but we needed room to seat a dozen people comfortably at one table, and somewhere quiet enough where we could talk. Also, to keep it simple, we wanted to order off the regular menu, and allow attendees to have separate checks. I worked with Sandy, who told me there was some renovation work planned around that time, but assured us she could accommodate our needs. A few days ahead, Sandy called to inform us the renovation had been put off, and confirmed we were good to go. When we arrived, we found a table set and ready in a quiet corner of the VIP Lounge, with a side table for the custom cake we brought in for the occasion. Taylor was outstanding as our main server for the event. Drinks, food orders, and checks were handled flawlessly as requested, the food was delicious, and they turned off the music in our area to allow us to talk. The staff also put out dessert plates and utensils for us to cut, serve, and enjoy our custom cake. My thanks to Sandy, Taylor, and the rest of the Bennigan’s staff for helping us to have a very successful reunion! We would highly recommend this location and its team to handle your event!
