All Bennigan's Restaurants Closing

[BNWriter]

Not bad for casual and quick. But this was a surprise...

[Ace]

Wow. That was our go-to restaurant for years after working the night shift. You could get something to eat if you hurried and they would be in no big rush on last calls for alcohol.

 

[93Devil]

No...

 

[Ben_Hecht]

Never liked them, but did frequent them, on occasion, for reasons other than the food. Seems awfully sudden, in any event. I mean, Damon's has encountered the same kind of headwinds, and though that chain will never return to its peak, there are still a handful of Damon's restaurants hanging in there.

I remember Bennigan's back in 1991. It's where I went when I celebrated getting a job at the college library.

Sad to see them go.

 

[MartinEnigmatica]

I wonder what they're going to go with all the stuff on the wall...

Going to the same junkyard co-owned by Applebee's and TGIF.

 

[MartinEnigmatica]

I really thought they all just robbed a bunch of attics to find wooden snowshoes and stuff.

Can't ever recall going to Bennigan's (don't think we have 'em up here in Canuckistan) but Damon's is always my go-to spot on the road in Erie and Saginaw.

 

[Batman]

No...

Oh hamburgers.

 

[Ace]

I'm gonna miss them. They had this one special dish. It was mac and cheese, but they added salsa!

 

[D.Sanchez]

They made a mean Monte Cristo.

 

[JayFarrar]

I never got the Monte Cristo.
A ham and cheese, dipped in pancake batter and deep fried.
Then served with powdered sugar and jam.
Just strange and thanks for this.
Guess which guy is now working on a Bennigan's closing story?

I'm gonna go with Jay Farrar.

No...

Farewell to a restaurant so magnificent that it can make you forget that your dad goes to gay bathhouses and your mom tried to kill you Susan Smith-style. Special place, it was.

Line of the day:
Really? We might be closing? Well ****!

Was it any good? That sounds like a rare find, indeed!

Those were amazing. I could never even come close to finishing one.

 

[Philosopher]

They made a mean Monte Cristo.

I thought I was the only one who loved that gem. Best thing on the menu.

By a landslide.
