   We dined with friends for the restaurant's Monday special of two salads, the entrees and a bottle of wine for $65. The menu choices were very good and the wines were also very good. We enjoyed our experience and will return.

   Customer service is sorely lacking. Man who brought us waters didn't even understand English WTH?? Waitress was MIA most of our meal but maybe overworked like most employees in our country right now😡. Dinner from start to finish took over 2 hours. Disappointing. The food seemed to be a bit stripped down since last time I ate there. I plan to return for Valentine's day to give another try. I loved Banderas and am still grieving it's departure but 2 years ago believed that Bennett's was a good replacement. Not so sure now.

   The food was exceptional especially the short ribs. My family enjoyed our meals so much that we’re definitely returning in mass. Service was prompt and courtesy and for those that need gluten free choices there were numerous options on the menu.

   We had a group of 6 so got a booth that was comfortable. The menu selections were great as was our waitress. Our drinks and lunches came quickly and were very good. The only glitch was that the Banh Mi ordered by a friend had a black hair on it. When we told the waitress she quickly took care of it and all was well except that the person who ordered it didn't eat much of her 2nd order. The menu selections were varied and the prices not out of this world altho a little higher than expected.

    Had dinner with another couple. Monday night special was very good. Very nice selection from menu. Waiter was excellent! Restaurant was very busy but Christopher made us feel like we were the only table. He was knowledgeable about the entrees, sides and wine. We followed his recommendations and were very happy with our dinners. Had a great dinner and a great time. We will be back!

    Usually Bennett's prepares its dishes very well. The restaurant was very busy on a Sunday lunch and the quality of my Eggs Benedict was very mediocre.

    Food and flavor was unremarkable. Four guests. Two prime ribs, short ribs, and a large ribeye. Add a couple appetizers and cocktails for a tally of $450. Service was very good. Food was ordinary.

    The girls and I had a good time last night. I made a reservation for 10 via OpenTable. We were all on time. Ordered some drinks, bottle of champagne, appetizers and our meals. I had the Redfish and spinach with a side of cauliflower gratin and the ladies had French dip sandwich, salmon with mashed potatoes, halibut with mashed potatoes, bbq rib and chicken, prime rib and mashed potatoes, prawn linguine and mashed potatoes with pork chop. Everything was to die for. Our server, Bryan, was amazing and attentive. We had a good time with conversation and laughed the entire 3hrs. Will go again.

    Not the best food I’ve had. Overcooked meatloaf and indescribable shredded chicken material in the enchiladas. Definitely NOT what the previous restaurant Bandera offered.

    Wasn't sure it would be an appropriate place to have a business meeting, but I was more than surprised by how great it was. Food was delicious and portions were very large. Diverse menu and with the ability to modify to meet dietary needs made this a great place to have meetings with people you don't know well. Thank you to the staff for a great evening.

    Great experience! Monday night special - had fillet, melt in your mouth good! Our server was attentive but not intrusive. I loved that we had time to relax and enjoy our meal with our dear friends without feeling rushed. The overall noise level was relatively quiet. I’m not sure whether this is normal or just because it was early evening on Monday. Nevertheless, we enjoyed it immensely and will definitely be back!

    The food was pretty good. Our server thought I asked for something I hadn't but it wasn't a big deal. A couple of the napkins at place setting were wet upon arrival. It was great having the private room for out group. The server was very accommodating and friendly.

    Appetizers, service, and drinks at the bar were great. It all went downhill once we got seated. Took 20 minutes before we were even acknowledged by the waiter. My blackened fish was SO salty I could not eat it. The cornbread was very small, $14, and was not tasty. If they are trying to copy the cornbread of the restaurant named Bandera that was formerly in that location, they have failed miserably. Banderas was amazing. We will not return.

    The service was excellent. We were not rushed to order our main course. Drinks arrived promptly, ordered salad and main course. Salad arrived and we were not rushed to eat before main course arrived. Server was attentive and checked with us several times through ore dinning experience. Parking is a bit of a pain since there are several dinning venues in the area. But worth the effort. Will be back.

    True to "America Cooking" moniker. Cauliflower & beet dishes were excellent. Halibut was perfectly prepared. STeak frites tasted yummy. Only complaint was not enough chocolate sauce on the vanilla sundae. All in all, a great meal. Will return soon.

    We were celebrating a birthday and my daughter had her 2 children there. Comfortable seating with high chairs. Manager went out of her way to run to store and buy a baby bottle for formula as my daughter discovered she had left hers at home. Michelle our server was excellent and took good care of us. We will definitely return. Monday special was a very good deal too!

    I can’t say enough positive about Bennett’s. The food, service, and ambience were absolutely first rate. Our waitress was knowledgeable, personable, and professional. If you enjoy excellent food, a pleasant environment in which to enjoy your meal, all for what amounted to a very reasonable price, Bennetts is a place, you should try. Highly recommended.
