• Steakhouse • Saint Paul

Booked 17 times today

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.

My girlfriend and I went here to celebrate her birthday. I got a bacon cheeseburger, and she got a steak and potato meal. Both entrees were perfectly cooked; mine rare and her’s medium rare. The food was delicious! We sat at the bar and the woman tending bar was a delight! She was friendly, attentive, and also joked around with us. Thank you to her! The tap beer was good. I wish there was a little more variety, maybe a domestic since that is the HH special. But a good variety of craft beers. Good food, great service; we’ll be back!
