    Monte Christo
    Julie R.

    I drove the extra miles today, to get some take out at Bennigan's. While waiting for my food(Monte Christo), I used the Bennigan's app to read through the menu and asked my server, Julie, how the Reuben bites were. She said they were good and I ordered some to go. Full of corned beef, Swiss cheese and some sauerkraut, they come with a thousand island dressing, and I couldn't eat just one! See picture. I usually come here for the Monte Christo, but these bites are worth coming back for. Friendly staff. Clean. Good food, as well as healthier choices, if you want them. Download the app, as I've always advised my readers to do. This place has a very updated interior and room for larger gatherings. Prices about the same as most chain restaurants. The Mont Christo is $15. Lot parking. MarcyDiner'sTantrumScale 5/5- NoScreamingKids. CyHawkApproved.

    Attached to the Holiday Inn, It is convenient for cold winter days. I ordered the "Big Irish Whiskey" burger and shrimp app. Both were good. Service was spot on.

    Bennigan's has made a return since 2008. The closures of these restaurants was a disappointment back then. When I saw this revived restaurant, I stopped by for a lunch meal. The Monte Christo sandwich was awesome, a donut crust dipped in powdered sugar, with ham, turkey, and cheese with a dipping raspberry jam made the visit worthwhile. The place was super clean, restrooms were well-maintained, and the best part was the service. A full bar was present as I remembered back in the day. The upgraded menus are a treat to look over. This will probably be the stop along the 80/35 interstate in Ankeny, Iowa.

    The food was pretty good, but the smoothie was great! The service was fair, but the waitress was kinda swamped on her own. Thanks for everything!

    I hadn't been here in a number of years. It has been fully remodeled since my last visit into a nice inviting space with comfortable booths and lots of nice lighting and decor. John was our waiter and he was absolutely fantastic! He was quick, efficient and friendly. He was busting his butt for his tables and was so pleasant. I ordered the world famous Monte Cristo and my husband got the Guiness burger. I had never had a Monte Cristo before so now was the time. I enjoyed it and the red raspberry preserves. The fries were fat and delicious. My husband enjoyed his burger and fries as well. We were too stuffed for dessert. I'm glad I checked in because we got a $5 discount, which we immediately added to what we were tipping John. I'm glad we stopped in!

    Passion fruit glazed pork chop is outstanding!  Chop moist and juicy - glaze is delicious, put doesn't overwhelm the pork.

    Passion fruit glazed pork chop excellent! Chop just right - grilled and still juicy. The glaze is very flavorful, but does overwhelm the pork. Side great too!

    Whether it's for a solo lunch or a night out with the girls/fellas Bennigan's makes a fantastic choice to eat. With it's crispy coating, savory stuffings, and sweet dip Their "World Famous Monte Cristo" sandwich will surely hit the spot . Top notch service from Amy made my snowy March visit feel like a real breath of Spring. The cozy yet spacious pub vibe is a very pleasant change and sure to become a new staple.

    We have been visiting our daughter in Des Moines for several years while she attends college there…read more We drive past here several times each trip and have always wanted to stop. Our last trip we had time so we stopped in. I love the decor and the vibe inside. However, I don't know if our bartender was on a bender or what but we struggled to get service. People who came in after us struggled to get service. The customers at the bar or more attentive than the bartender was. With that being said we give this place another chance and plan to come back on our next visit. I must note that we were just there for drinks. I don't know about the food situation.

I wouldn't call me St. Patrick by any means because as legend says he feared nothing not even death! .. I will say I won't be scared to come back to Kathy's. The bartender was super welcoming, and chatty, He even shook my hand at the end of my visit. He was very attentive to all 10 of us in the bar, all from different walks of life! I was super excited that a guy brought in and set up his daughters girl scout cookies to sell to patrons and yes next thing you know everyone in the bar is sharing a variety of Girl Scout Cookies! Law and Order SVU was on the Tv, William Shatner's Christmas album was on the touch tunes and I enjoyed a lazy Sunday afternoon with a cool crew of folks. The place is cool and has framed photos of famous people with Irish roots.. We ain't just talking Conan, Bono, and Van Morrison we are talking Hitchcock and Detective Benson from Law and Order SVU's mom Jayne Mansfield.. Who I happened to just look up on Wiki to make sure on the spelling of her name and I discovered that Jimi Hendrix played on her music she put out in the 60's... WOW all I can say.. I feel pretty LUCKY to know that and pretty LUCKY to have gone to Kathy's.

Intimate, dark atmosphere inside, and brighter (and often warmer!) out back on the patio. Meatloaf and Salmon entrees are regulars for us, but we've tried almost every sandwich and many of the other entrees, and they are always full of flavor and delicious. Salads are fresh and have very good quality lettuce and veggies. Dressings are good as well. Small bar with drop in seating, but it pays to get a reservation. They currently use Toast to take reservations and you'll get a reminder the day prior to your visit. Walk in's often find it challenging to squeeze in here! Service is always good and the bartenders make a good drink.
