To recreate the full Bennigan's experience, I'd like to find a place where I can ask for non-smoking and be seated right next to the smoking section, separated by a shiny brass rail.

---

Ermegerd you win the interwebs today

---

And remember the no smoking section on airplanes? The front 15 rows were no smoking and the next 10 rows in the same aluminum tube were smoking,

---

My family flew TWA to Korea and sat in the non-smoking section.

Had the MC one time and that was enough for me. Buffalo chicken sandwich was always my go to for a meal at Bennigans.

Sweet, delicious, heart clogging goodness.

If you do intermittent fasting, it shouldn't be an issue. Ijs.

Does this leave skid marks?

I always got the MC with honey mustard instead of the raspberry jam crap.

There is a Bubbas 33 in Midland, and they have the Monte Christo. Have not had it, as the last time was decades ago at Bennigan's and I got so sick I never had another one. But I remember it being delicious!

Bennigans sucked, good riddance. The MC sandwich always sounded great on the menu, but it sucked when you actually got it. Grease and soggy breading sprinkled with sugar. Why don't you just go suck on Wilford Brimley's ball sweat instead. Not sure what you fatties are all nostalgic about? Yall probably have a boner for Chili's baby back ribs too.

You're mad because the franchise fee to open a new location is $50K. Great American turnaround story! Brand on the move!

Lambeaus Sports Bar on Louetta/Grant has it.

Bennigan's was unmatched...that and their club were my gotos in the 80s/early 90s. It was greasy as hell obviously, but didn't make me feel sick instantly like when I try them today. Or maybe I am just old now.

Bennigans Reuben was my go to. I worked an the opening crew at the CS Bennigans. Wish it was still there.

Punny!

Guys:

There are actually two remaining traditional Bennigan's restaurant locations operating in Texas: one in Borger (in the Panhandle north of Amarillo) and one in Monahans (in West Texas southwest of Odessa).

---

Where I'm from (Borger), and I have eaten there.

---

Borger is a good place to be from because it means you are no longer in Borger.

---

The only times I go back now are for funerals.

That's me and my hometown. I did go back for a high school reunion but it's mostly funerals.

The Bennigans Monte Christo is what started my path to Diabetes and being Ginormus.

Congratulations on the adipose

Oh my. Someone got touched inappropriately at a Bennigans.

Ida Claire in San Antonio

There is a Bennigans in Monahans. Start driving.

I was in Brenham last week and ate at a sandwich shop called Must Be Heaven. They had a MC on the menu and I got excited and ordered it. Big mistake. It was grilled, not fried. Cheese didn't get melted and instead of the raspberry jelly they slathered it with some kind of sweet pickle jelly. The jelly was on both sides of the sandwich so I couldn't even salvage one side. A total loss.

You ordered a Monte Cristo on a place other than Bennigan's.

This one is kinda on you.

Don't sleep on the Turkey O'Toole, simple but tasty. Turkey, swiss cheese, and honey mustard on a pretzel bun. Damn near a perfect sandwich to have with a beer.

I don't know anything about this, but it is an interesting concept. Take out only. Classic dishes from defunct restaurants.
Bennigan's On The Fly

A BostonAg sighting.

I think the last MC I had was at a place called Gardski's Loft.

My gosh...I'm hitting all of these food threads because I haven't eaten since yesterday afternoon.

And they had a burger w a fried mozzarella patty on it. Amazeballs.

The Wheelhouse Burger. So good, all though I usually got pot roast, when they had it.
