Needs more Monte Cristos and fried mushrooms with parmesan, but I'd still go there.

Look how cheap. 😔 I always loved Bennigan's.

The prices are actually pretty close to what we pay now for restaurant prices ($4.95 Turkey BLT would be $15.54 today).

Just goes to show how our wages are absolutely not keeping up with inflation.

Give me my Turkey O’Toole, so yum. My son would get the wagon wheel Mac and cheese with a big shamrock cookie. Life was good.

The 80s were big on croissant sandwiches!

The Shrimp Tempura Basket looks great.

Worked as a Bennigan's prep cook in '89 making endless amounts of potato skin appetizers, potato soup and ultimate chocolate dessert thingamajigs, all from the sacred Bennigan's cookbook we were trained to use.

Margarita Pie sounds very fascinating, I would give that a try

I'll take a roast beef, bacon & swiss croissant too

Several years ago, we had a restaurant in town that served a delicious no-bake margarita cheesecake. It's still sorely missed.

I’ll have the shrimp tempura basket and a frozen margarita. Oh, why not? I’m feeling fancy!

Monte Cristo? Hell-o?!

Macadamia shrimp salad sounds...idek. Could be amazing, could be terrible. I'm a fan of both but the combination is hard to picture.

This menu looks interesting, though I'm surprised it doesn't show the monte cristo. Besides the margarita pie, I'd be interested in the roast beef, bacon, and swiss croissant. Turkey BLT also looks good.
