    Potato skins
    Sierra S.

    We had a great dinner here on a Monday night. The place was busy but there was no wait. I ordered the special which was lamb chops with potatoes and veggies and it was excellent. We also ordered the potato skins and were surprised when it arrived with chili on it, but it hit the spot! My friend has to eat gluten free and this restaurant had many gluten free options. It was the first time she's had chowder since she's been diagnosed with Celiacs disease and she was so happy! They also allowed us to split the bill.

    Menu looked great

    This was a nice little pub we popped into while walking through town. We were there in the off-season, so it was fun to easily get into little gems like this place without a huge lunch line. We got VIP quality seating up against the window where we could check out the water and people watch. The restaurant extends back a bit with more seating outside the main bar area. Our server was friendly and helpful, and while the husband and I just wanted drinks, our compadres went for brunch. We sampled the seafood soup (gluten free) which was great, and the husband of mine helped himself to a bite or two of his buddy's sandwich.. what are friends for anyway?? Drinks and food were great, and we loved the intimate atmosphere. It's definitely a win.

    Good food, garbage service.

    A nice pub in Dingle, the food was amazing. Definitely recommend the Guinness Stew. However the young dark haired server was terrible. Yes, we're Americans, but we try to be respectful of other cultures. She treated us like scum and made us feel like we ruined her day. I know European culture doesn't tip, but we would've tipped. Screw this place, if you're Irish enjoy it, if you're from another country they will treat you like trash. Nice work John Benny's, just another mediocre pub in a nation of drunks. Just put Americans not allowed on the front of your establishment. Maybe if we tariff Guinness it might effect you're already failing economy.

    Shepard's Pie

    Good food and service. Busy little place with some different menu items than the standard meals.

    John Benny's is located across the street from the waterfront and near large parking lot

    Reliable food at a centrally located for a moderate price. Stop in for a pint or bit of grub when you're down by the water front.

    After a long, cold, rainy walk around town we needed some food and drinks. Randomly picked John Benny's and I am so glad that we did. Live music was playing and the pub was busy but not crazy packed. We were able to find seats at the bar. The music was nice and at a perfect level. Not too quiet and not too loud where you can't have a conversation with the person next to you. The beverage menu was good with lots of choices of booze but more importantly beer. They had local selections of craft beers along with a ton of excellent choices of alcoholic ciders. We were very happy with all the booze, beer, and cider choices we had. We shared a shepherds pie with mash and it was very tasty. The portion was huge and we were both full even though we shared. The service was also good and the prices very reasonable.

    Fresh fish of the day & chips

    Fantastic and relaxed service by seasoned professionals. Strong array of standard pub grub but very well prepared. Good live music.

    John Benny's has the richest, most delicious seafood chowder I ever ate. The people here are good, too.
