Bennigan’s was founded in 1976 in Virginia by Norman Brinker. The company is an Irish-pub type restaurant that features casual dining, American cuisine, and a full bar.
The company grew significantly in the 1980’s, with more than 150 corporate owned locations, 103 franchises, and some locations overseas. However, failure of the company to change and adapt to changing consumer tastes in food lead to serious problems for the chain. In 2008, the company filed for bankruptcy. All New York and New England locations were closed immediately, as well as the 150 corporate locations.
Bennigan’s was sold and restructured in 2010. Today, the company has 23 locations in 11 states, 39 locations globally. The new owners, Legendary Restaurant Brands, LLC, have plans to rebuild the chain through remodeling and improved marketing.

Bennigan’s in Monahans, TX used to be run like a fine tuned machine when Sal was the manager. Unfortunately, he did not return with the reopening, after the pandemic.
The food quality has gone down with the new manager. I have had burned food, bland tasting food and over ripened topping on the cob salad.
Today was the final experience for me. I was charged $11.00 for a basket of potato chips. No sauce, no fancy dip, just plain chips. When I received my bill, I asked my server to double check on that. She returned, apologetic and stated the price was correct.
By the way, your forks are way to big for my mouth and that of a child.
Never ever again!
I had an interview at the Bennigans location in Engomi, Nicosia in Cyprus.
The manager, Michalis, upon seeing me was very unprofessional and standoffish. He immediately asked for my ID and questioned my right to work. I am a darker skin Indian who has a legal right to work. Appalled and this idiotic behavior will not be tolerated.
