About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Great for happy hour
In every city, there is a natural gathering spot for city folk and neighborhood people in the know. This place in Saint Paul is know as Bennett's Chop & Railhouse. Located on West Seventh & Victoria, it is the perfect meeting place of uptown and downtown, of quiet neighborhood and big city lights.

It's called a chophouse because it specializes in a casual steakhouse atmosphere with top-of-the-line cuts of the finest meats. It is a Rail-house because it is on the old railroad line serving the city and rail drinks (as well as top brands) are served in the convivial atmosphere of the horseshoe bar.

And of course Bennett's is Bennett's because owners Joe and Meghan Bennett ensure that welcoming hospitality is always served. They have taken their decades of experiences with leading hospitality brands and translated it into an intimate venue where you're not only a customer, but more importantly, a welcome guest.

    1st time. Excellent: Artichoke dip (best ever!), House chopped salad, Creole Meatloaf. Not so great, especially for $48 -- Tri Medallion Steak entree with 3 toppings: steak cooked perfectly, tender but scrapped off, and did not eat toppings. Usually my fav at a steakhouse but even the mushroom crusted wasn't good. Green beans were flavorless. Au gratin potatoes had a sour taste. The baked potato and fries I saw at other tables would have been a better choice. We will return, there were several items we noticed heading to other tables that looked great so we'll explore the menu.

    I have eaten at Bennett’s several times but this time was very problematic. Service was very poor. I was there for over two hours waiting for food while other diners came and went. It was very frustrating.

    Ok experience, it was Mother’s Day and short staffed. I am sure the experience would be much better if we decide to visit again in the future.

    Disappointed. The best part of dinner was our waitress who was very sweet. This place is Super noisy. My husband and I came here to celebrate our anniversary. The place was so noisy that we couldn't even talk to one another.
