Bennett's is a fine establishment, perfect meeting place for all types of customers. Excellent service, food and drinks. Reasonably priced meals which are very good and tasty meals! Meals were delivered to our table hot and well presented. The Jalapeno Cornbread was very tasty. Our server took very care of us and met every dining expectation accordingly.

This was our second visit to Bennett’s, and once again, it did not disappoint! We had such a great experience the first time that we knew it would be the perfect place to celebrate my dad for Father's day . From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding—starting with the hostess, who graciously accommodated two additional guests at the last minute. Our waiter was exceptional: attentive, friendly, and made the evening feel special. Dinner was delicious, and while we didn’t have room for dessert this time, we’ll definitely be back.

Laura, Thank you for celebrating Father’s Day with us! We’re so glad to hear everything was just as wonderful the second time around. Can’t wait to welcome you back soon—maybe for dessert next time!

Four of us went to Bennett's for Father's Day dinner. It was the first for 3 of us. The menu and the amount of choices was amazing. Every thing we ordered was really quite good. We will be making this one of our regular restaurants going forward.

Our soup had 2 hairs( my daughter did say before finding the hairs that it was the best soup ) , chicken enchiladas had bones - really big bones . I asked someone if this is normal to have bones and they said possibly cause it’s all hand pulled . We found a bone a little bit bigger than 50 cent piece - how they could miss that ?!? Then found several other bones in the other enchilada ( we had a total of 3 orders ) Steak was actually greasy . I have been here before a few years back and it was excellent . Food and quality is horrible and will not be returning

I appreciate being able to book ahead for a larger group, especially on a busy day or holiday. Our server was excellent and the ambience is nice- busy and happy but not overly loud. The food is a little disappointing for the price and the feel of the restaurant- every dish just felt a little underwhelming. Two of my party got the chicken wet burrito and really liked it though. I think everything could use a little more fresh herbs and spices and citrus to waken it all up.

Our server Cody was great! Gave us great recommendations. Very personable and gave excellent service. Another woman (I think the manager) was able to help us when we asked for room temperature water for my daughter to use for the baby bottle. She too checked in with us after to see if anything else was needed. Both extremely helpful, welcoming and made sure our experience was great. Lastly, our food was amazing!!!! I had the chicken fried steak and it’s one of the best I’ve had, and the potatoes….I’m craving them now!
