★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jessica Meckel · Feb 2026

The staff here are fantastic. They were very accommodating of our kids. They checked in regularly and also held the door for us on the way out. The food was meh, not something that would make me come here again. Alot of the food lacked seasoning. As long as you are fine with that then no problems. No major complains about atmosphere, its what you expect of a bar.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 OQuinn Holmes · Nov 2025

I hadnt been to a Bennigans since the early 90s ..I didnt even know they still had any in Illinois ..with that said I rode out to Elgin to chk it out ..I had the legendary Monte Cristo with the berry jam ..Loaded mash potatoes.. bread pudding & ice cream.. Ice tea ..everything was just as it usta be tastee fresh and good .. my one hold back was that my goto desert at Bennigans for 40 yrs was the Apple Cobbler with ice cream that they said they dont have on the menu anymore but they did have the cod fish fry which I also usta get .. it was a fun & tastee flashback ...

As I walked into one of 6 remaining Bennigan’s in the US, the nostalgia hit me like a Britney number 1 hit. As I was transported back in time, I half expected the Smashing Pumpkins to greet us, but alas, TLC was right - don’t go chasing those waterfalls. It was almost like Bennigan’s never went away, except of course, for the fact this one was attached to a Holiday Inn. We were greeted by a friendly server and found ourselves sitting near a woman celebrating her 100th birthday, no doubt remembering Bennigan’s as a staple during her heyday. The decor took me back to 1998, when all I had to worry about was having a cool AIM profile and not cramping up during my Backstreet Boys pool aerobics. We didn’t need to look at the menu but we did for old time sake. The broccoli bites were a must and

Popped in to celebrate my dad's birthday. We live about 2 hours away from here, and it's a favorite! We were so sad to see the Chicago location go. It was always a must on our trips to the city. When we discovered this location, we were thrilled. We've been in 4 or 5 times now. The food is just as good and brings back great memories! Everything was delicious and cooked just right. Couldn't be happier, and we will be back again in the future! 😊

We have been visiting this location for many years. Unfortunately we don't live near the restaurant. We were fortunate to be in the area and planned to have a Friday lunch on the way home. We were seated quickly and our server was attentive and had our drinks and appetizers out quickly. They have a Friday Fish Fry and my guys both had to order. I am very fond of Ruben Sandwich. The meal was hot and plentiful. We were treated well and had take out leftovers. Keep up the Great Service and Fantastic Food.
