Staff is attentive and the food is much better than expected. Excellent ribeyes, and lots of good beers on tap. Several TV's to watch live sports. WTX is not known for its abundance of decent food, so it's nice to find a rare "Oasis" in the desert. 3 stars because seating is uncomfortable and booths and tables are often dirty. read more

Sign said open until 10, doors already locked at 9. Pitiful. This is not hard, folks. Just be open during your posted hours.

Two nights in a row it closed over an hour early!! Even the bar! Do not recommend! The parking lot had cars and patrons in restaurant eating and they closed before 10, with posted hours that they were open until 11. Horrible management! read more

Stopped by Bennigane Irish Pub and had a great experience. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming with that classic Irish pub feel--perfect for relaxing with friends or grabbing a casual drink. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the food and drinks came out quickly. I had wings and a Reuben style quesadilla they were flavorful and well-prepared. If you're looking for a laid-back spot with good service, music and a cozy vibe, this place is definitely worth checking out! read more

This place is awful. The people who cook are just as worthless as can be. Husband shows up at 12:50 to order my food 45 minutes later I still don't have my food. Won't be back. Forced to leave a star but I didn't want to. Everything was just BAD.Go elsewhere but not this place read more

I would say the food was decent. The service is lacking. We sat down and it took about 25 minutes to get waters. There was maybe 3 tables in the restaurant total with people. We ordered our food and it took over an our to get it, and it didn't come out all together. When we ordered our second round of drinks, the bar tender came out and told us she brought the wrong drinks. She attempted to apologizing but dropped a bunch of F bombs in the process of doing so. I do not recommend this place at all. The only reason it's in business is because it's in Monahans and the choices of restaurants that serve alcohol is slim. You just take what you can get. If you have the time, drive to Odessa and get a good meal with good service read more

This restaurant needs to have someone (anyone) take a restaurant management course. Specifically, how to run a kitchen & how to train waitresses. Also, how to pick up food off the floor. Cold & crunchy potato soup, and they were out of both of the appetizers we ordered. No silverware offered. We, as well as the two tables next to us had to ask for silverware. Awful experience. Just awful. read more

Awesome service! We were in and out in less than an hour on a Saturday. Monte Cristo and burger were perfectly cooked. Engaging sports bar atmosphere with amazing drinks. read more

I didn't know Bennigans was still around, but they are alive and well in this town! Passing thru town we popped in, and man was it busy. Extensive menu choices for sure. A bit short staffed but the servers were working hard. Thanks for a good experience. read more

OK, thought we would give this place a try, but were a bit concerned over the negative reviews on Yelp. Never fear. We were not let down nor given bad service. This is an "American fare" place, so think of Steak & Ale or TGIFriday's. Go burgers and steaks and you won't be disappointed. Our wait time was not long, and our service was great. Maybe it's because we went in the evening, and not at lunch, but we didn't have any issues In summary: Good for your basics (burgers, steaks, salads) don't expect Stephan Pyles. Yes, go here! read more

I love this Place... Please never go away.. Great food great service just an all out great place to be

Both hostesses were annoyed watching my party come inside. We were trying to celebrate my two year old's birthday and had a party of 10. We were told they had no place for us to sit as I was watching two big groups finishing. We asked how long it would be for a wait and we're just told "I don't know". It wasn't a matter of them being too busy or not having space, it was a matter of not wanting to deal with a sizable party. Really rude. read more

The food is okay and the restaurant is mostly clean, but the service and wait times are awful.

Second time here - and won't be back Observed at least 10 health code violations - no gloves drinking on the line coughing over cooked food My to go dinner went in the trash - read more

Wings have good heat and flavor however the bone in model is careful eating. Of the 8 wings 5 had broken bones in them. Kinda sucked but they were good. Blue Cheese is a little gelatinous for my preferences and wasn't creamy like I'd expect The Classic Reuben Sammich! Was a decent one... a little on the greasy side but had some food flavor with the kraut & 1000 Island. Not a go to on the next visit but it was good. Fries were just ok so I had to lower my rating to a 3 Star performance this visit Better Luck Next Time I Guess read more

Well, I wish I could review the food but that's kind of hard when you can't get waited on. I was quickly seated by the hostess. The restaurant was mostly empty except for patrons sitting at the bar. They didn't even take a drink order. I kept seeing servers walk by my table and after 12 minutes I decided that they weren't interested in my business. The servers seemed more interested in hanging all over the bar patrons. The place also felt dirty. read more

Sat there for close to 30 minutes without anyone offering us service. Asked the hostess to get our server and she just stared at us confused. Basically sat there and watched the staff goof around for that time. read more

Starving. In town for funeral and overnight. Worse meal I've had in any restaurant in several years. Chicken appetizers were way overcooked and tough. Main course, Chicken stripes, same. Literally, could not eat them. Don't waste your money! read more

DO NOT COME TO THIS BENNIGANS They took forever to bring out our food and not once did they come to check in on us for refills or to let us know about our food. And once the food did arrive the bacon in the salad wasn't even cooked all the way. We asked for a manager and she informed us that the bacon was cooked all the way and that this is how it's supposed to look. I understand it's near closing time but at least make a effort to take care of tables. read more

I gave this place 5 stars on 5/21/2020. Fast forward to 3/11/2021. Went into restaurant, greeted by lackluster host. Was seated in back near where employees were congregated. Left menus. Host walked away. We sat there for 10 minutes waiting for someone to acknowledge our existence. OH...we were one of only two couples in the restaurant. We made some attempts to get someone's attention. I got tired of begging for service. We gave up and walked out. Drove down the road for some BBQ instead. Seems if you are doing to-go, you might be ok. However, I could not even get service with four waitresses standing around doing nothing. Very sad. Hard pass for table service. read more

If you've never been to a Bennigan's chain it's kind of like a TGIFridays or Applebees but some of their drinks have an "Irish" theme but I didn't think the food really did. After being seated no one came for 15 or 20 minutes so we ask someone walking by if they were our waitress and they said no and we said could you please find out who is then we haven't been helped yet. Had to ask for waters twice, 2nd time they brought us a glass of ice with no water and we said there's no water in that. Had to ask for napkins. Didn't bring us enough silverware for everyone at the table. No water refills. They seemed really overwhelmed. It's one of the few restaurants in town open for dinner so they were busy. The 2 young servers we had were genuinely trying really hard to do a good job and very polite and very apologetic. Food took a while but we thought it was good. I got a Caesar salad and the Sriracha shrimp. Rest of the table got a burger and fries, a plant-based burger and fries, and a steak salad. They have a plant based burger on the menu which we were really impressed and pleased to find in a small west texas town. read more

We were seated quickly. Sunday night football was on and it was packed! Drink orders came quickly and so did the appetizer! Our main dishes followed shortly! I had the pretzel turkey sandwich and my husband had the chicken wrap (we had leftovers and i ate it cold the next day and it was decent)! My sandwich was good, too! I read previous reviews and didn't have high expectations but we had a great experience! read more

Ok food service sucks walked in to half empty restaurant and was told 25 min wait m, they said you might eat quicker at the bar wrong it took 45 minutes to get my food. It seemed staff catered to off the clock or staff that is there on their days off getting hammered taking shots. Kitchen needs more help and it looked like you had enough servers but not enough service. read more

Wouldn't come back, poor service and mediocre food. We drove over an hour to find out they don't have the one sandwich they are known for... the Monte Cristo. They then got my order wrong three times, it was almost embarrassing. I ordered French Dips in place of it, then 20 min later they tell me they are out of Au Ju. I'm not sure if the management is lacking, or if they forgot how to operate but the food was over cooked, dry and missing the onions. Then they over fried the appetizers, and lastly how could I forget they forgot to flavor the two teas we ordered. We both got a different fruit tea, watermelon and blackberry and they forgot to put in the flavor. I would not come back. For an inaccurate bill, they first charged me over $70 for two sandwiches, drinks and an App. They charged me separately for all apps that were on a sampler. No apology just a nice you didn't specify. Yet I repeated it three times and in front of my spouse. A childhood favorite, to a crappy overpriced dump. read more

The food here was okay, not many complaints but nothing special. The boneless wings were good. The service wasn't bad and place was clean. Staff was not wearing masks which was a bit uncomfortable. Overall okay experience. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped in this evening for an early dinner. He ordered the bacon burger with whiskey sauce, it came with fries. He also ordered the onion ring stack and an iced tea. I had the reuben fritters and a cup of coffee. Total was $44.92. A little pricey, especially $2.75 for a small cup of coffee. However, we definitely would stop again and next time try one of their amazing looking desserts. read more

A friend and I decided to try this restaurant after a hard days work. The restaurant was not busy and we were looking forward to trying their steaks. After waiting 25 minutes and not even being greeted by our server, we decided to leave. As we were walking out we let the manager know how displeased we were with their service. She didn't even apologize or seek to resolve the matter. I will never visit this restaurant again. read more

Staff was nearly unbearable. Took over an hour to get our food. Had to ask for silverware twice before getting it. Food was very bland and was over cooked. read more

The service wasn't good and I ordered 2 drinks and both were not what I ordered if they were they were watered down. Then when I said something I had to much to drink. Do not recommend this place 32.40 for 2 drinks. read more

It's a chain. Nothing wrong with that, but with a chain I tend to expect consistency, at a minimum. The only consistency is disappointment with them. Food takes anywhere from 30-45 minutes. Apps arrive literally just before the entrees and are always cold. Cold, deep fried onion rings are gross, in case you wondered. Several times they have been out of ingredients or menu items, even at 11am on a Sunday. Not the end of the day, but immediately at opening time on of of the busiest days for a restaurant. I was hopeful to have an option in town that gave more variety than our local joints, but I'll stick with the local mom and pop places. What they lack in variety they make up for in quality food. read more

Stopped by Bennigan's for the first time in fourteen years! Our Midland Bennigan's closed in 2000(?). We ordered the fish and chips, onion rings, and a couple of Coca-Cola's .we had a fairly attentive waitress. We didn't wait long either! The fish was crisp and tasty too, and a bit larger than expected. The onion rings were on the large side , beer battered, and tasty. read more

Food was decent, service was horrible! I chewed on ice for 45 min before our food came out, forgot the salad, food was cold, and got one refill for the hour and half I sat there, waited forever to get our check. Manager just flirted with a guy at the bar the whole time we were in the establishment. Don't waste your time here. I will never be back next time I visit this town. read more

Let's start with 20 minutes in and not one server has asked for our drinks fast forward to an hour later still no drink they bring me my old fashioned shaken and pink. Told them it was wrong and asked for a martini instead. When that finally came with the "manager" crystal calls me rude and decides to make excuses for slow service being short staffed when there are 10 servers on the floor. Menus are sticky tables are sticky first and last time I'll be at this establishment! I'm sure since this is the only bar/restaurant in monahans that's the only way they get business!! read more
