I had a business meeting and needed a small private room in which they had. The service was on point. Lunch for 5 of us for under $150.00. What a deal. The food was great. I definitely recommend this restaurant!

The food was so greasy & soggy. So disappointing! Our server did a good job. We were told there were plenty of Porterhouse steaks, so there would be no worry that they would run out. A couple of minutes later, they said they were sold out.

Lauren, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear the service was good, and we apologize for the disappointment with the food and steak availability. We'll be sure to address this with our team.

Sunday, 22 June: This was really odd for Bennett’s, but the wait staff was really not engaged. They weren’t busy, maybe 6-7 tables were occupied, with each of the 3 servers had 2 tables… but they just weren’t checking on their customers. I know this isn’t how Bennett’s operates, and it won’t deter me from coming back I feel it was an off day for them, and everyone is entitled to have them. See y’all soon.

Darwin, Thanks for your understanding—we truly appreciate your loyalty. We’re sorry to hear it felt off that day and will work to ensure a better experience next time. Looking forward to seeing you again soon!

Sorry to say we got off on the wrong foot when we discovered dead and then live ants on the table after we were seated. We scraped them away, but after we saw more, we moved to the next open spot. It was actually worse as there was a swarm of live ants near the wall so we moved to the next open table. Interestingly, we never saw staff wipe down either table before seating new sets of guests at both spots. We’ve all been to Bennett’s before and constantly recommend it to friends, so this was very disconcerting. None of us have ever seen ants on a restaurant dining table before. Also, most in our party have loved your pork chop and likewise regularly recommend it. But during our last visit and again this time, it was cooked too long so it was very dry. Perhaps it’s because the portion size is noticeably smaller now, making it easier to overcook? Overall, we had a fun time with our friends and the rest of our meals were quite good so we’ll be back. But we will all likely hesitate to give an unqualified recommendation.
Bennett's American CookingResponded on June 20, 2025
Pam, Thank you for your honest feedback. We're truly sorry to hear about the experience with the ants and the overcooked pork chop—this isn’t the standard we strive for. We appreciate your continued support and will address these concerns with our team to ensure better visits moving forward.
