So Long, Bennigan's!

You're going to have to find a new joint to get Broccoli Bites from, because Bennigan's is done! Their parent company filed for bankruptcy, which means all company-owned locations are being liquidated and will never open again as of today. Independently-owned Bennigan's might stay open, but it's not known for how long.

This also royally sucks for employees. They will most likely not get their last paycheck.

I might be a cold cunt (HA!) for saying this, but I'm not going to miss that joint. I prefer to dine at more elegant establishments like Applebee's, Chili's, T.G.I. Friday's and Red Robin. If one of those places closed, my stomach would cry a million tears. Tears of joy probably, because their food seriously fucks you up and leaves your bowels begging for mommy.

I only love Bennigans because Butters from South Park does.

That is the reason I wanted to try it. Sadly, there are none in my neck of the woods.

How is it that the employees won't get a last paycheck? Or unemployment, at least?

Frighteningly bad.
I try to avoid eating at any place that has pictures of the food on the menu.
Meanwhile, this does present a problem for Chace Crawford.

As for TGI Friday's....I would cry hot salty tears if they were to close. I had NO WHERE else to eat in Scotland

you mean you couldnt drum up a daily appetite for haggis, neeps and tatties??? ;)

Shit...i couldnt even find that!! Seriously...I was in Glasgow and there were more clothing stores and pubs than ANYTHING there. Oh yeah...and they had Burger King. Nothing else. I did end up losing quite a bit of weight after 10 days though.

Lord there was a time when one of my friends and I would head there to play bar trivia... I have not been there in years, some good memories. The suburbs in Jersey --what a sad time that was. ____________________________________________

I never heard of a Bennigans until South Park, but I prefer to dine at Ruby Tuesdays. THEY MAKE MINI BURGERS!! How do they get them so tiny, yet so delicious?

well white castle has mini delicious burgers, you only have to be ok with the after dinner runs.

Haha this is where my family and I went after my college graduation. Yes, we're trash.

Oh man, but they did have THE BEST Monte Cristo's EVER. Deep fried goodness....I will definitely miss that. :(

Argh, no! I haven't lived where there was a Bennigan's in two years, but I had great hopes of getting back for a Monte Cristo sandwich soon. Now my dreams are dashed. *sob!* I don't suppose PurpleNeon could share the recipe?

But.Seriously.Folks's picture

The last time I went to Bennigan's the food and the service sucked donkey balls.

The monte cristo is one diabolical piece of culinary engineering. A sandwich stuffed with meat and cheese, then fried and sprinkled with powdered sugar with raspberry jam on the side? I guess there was no room on the plate for chocalate chips and bbq dipping sauce. Who came up with this dish? Fat Bastard??

I have never been to nor even seen a Bennigan's. Must be an east coast chain.

As for TGI Friday's....I would cry hot salty tears if they were to close. I had NO WHERE else to eat in Scotland....but luckily they had one of these on every other corner. lol. Good times...good times.

I LOATHE Bennigan's. Everyone I have ever been in had the accustics of a locker room. The noise was always unbearable. Suck they stiffed the waitstaff. I hope the burn the places down....Love Jane Hudson

That makes me slightly sad. We used to go to this place all the time in high school. And the food, while horrible greasy crap that is terrible for you, tasted really good to me. When I was in the mood for that sort of thing.

I will miss those broccoli bacon bites. (sob)

Red Robin is the bomb with their unlimited refills on drinks and fries! lol

Good ridance to bad rubbish. We had a Bennigans in my town and it stayed open for less then a year because no one wants to eat that trash. Not to mention I'm a little biased because this dumb cunt I know used to work there.

Their food had been going downhill for years now. They were officially off my list when they changed their mozzarella cheese sticks and chicken quesadillas a few years back. Don't mess with good fried cheese. That's just blasphemy.

I don't know what I would do without the Royal Robin burger. Burger, bacon, egg, etc on a bun. Heartattack on a plate, but it's so damn tasty!

Never been to Bennigans, but I would fuck a bitch up if they told me Red Robin was closing.

That sucks because Bennigans has the best club sandwich, fried cheese, and fried Monte Cristo in town, have to differ with you there, MK.

I only love Bennigans because Butters from South Park does.
