Many Bennigans to Close!!!

From what I understand, their problems stem from a string of incidents in which several customers got a different soup from than the one they ordered. It was almost as though someone had someone had switched the orders on the line...

I've never even heard of Bennigans. I guess they didn't have them in STL. Or anywhere else I've lived.

I've driven by a couple of them, but never gave them a second thought.

I've gotten bad food at restaurants, I've gotten it slowly as well. But I've always at least GOTTEN it. Not this time. They simply weren't up to the task that night of serving us food.

Sorry jim. It was here, behind the fridge.

monte cristo is just plain awesome, but I can relate to horrible service. We've had some bad experiences there & hence stopped going.

I've noticed some problems with Bennigans. In many ways, Fridays, Chilis, Applebees, Bennigans, Max&Ermas, etc, are direct competitors. They are everywhere in the burbs and people have plenty of choices amongst them.

In Bloomingdale, along one monstrous super-plaza, you can go to Applebees, Chilis or Fridays. Or Fox&Hound. I think there may be an Olive Garden too. Ruby Tuesday's and Outback up the street. etc.

Putting aside the quality of the menu for a moment, everybody has their favorites, i have noticed far more problems at Bennigans than the others. Endemic poor service, stinky-stale-smelling restaurants, etc. And not just at one particular restaurant

i'm not at all surprised.

Scratch the Bennigans in my story and replace with Applebees. I would have sworn it was Bennigans but then again I pretty much go through life not paying much attention to anything, and the mrs. said it was Applebees.

They are all about the same to me.

Fox & Hound should not be lumped in with those other monstrosities.
