Bennigans

My wife and I had a date night tonight. A local church was offering free childcare, so we left them off and we proceeded to run a few errands then went to Bennigan's to use the BOGO certificate I got for my birthday from their Bennigan's Club. I ordered the FIRE-GRILLED 8 OZ. SIRLOIN - A tender cut of choice sirloin grilled to perfection. Served with loaded baked potato and broccoli. My wife ordered the SOUTHWEST FAJITAS - Flame-grilled chicken and/or marinated steak served over sauteed onions and bell peppers with black beans, seasoned rice, flour tortillas, sour cream, guacamole, Colby cheese and pico de gallo. Our waitress, Whitney, was great. She took good care of us during our visit, making sure our drinks were filled and checking that everything was OK. As I suspected, my wife told our server we were there for my birthday. So they proceeded to parade out of the kitchen with a BROWNIE BOTTOM PIE - A chewy chocolate fudge brownie with a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, covered with hot fudge and crowned with a puffy cloud of whipped cream and a cherry. But they didn't finish the delivery of my dessert before they sang Bennigan's birthday song for all to hear. Was I embarrassed? Mildly. Did I finish off the dessert? Duh? But not without sharing it with my wife first. We were able to pay for the meal with a gift card we had previously purchased. So, in a way, the meal didn't cost us anything. Oh, and they are currently running a deal on GCs. If you purchase a $25 GC during your visit, you get $5 off that night's meal AND a GC for $5 good towards your next visit. Pretty crafty marketing!

Bennigan’s in the Coral Ridge Mall has delectable foods. Today I used my birthday coupon for lunch with a good friend. Join the club and get your birthday coupon. http://www.fishbowl.com/clt/bnngns/lp/join/join.asp We had just finished walking in the mall, 3 miles and needed a comfortable place to cool down and enjoy lunch. The seating in the lounge area is much cooler and has a view to the outside so our booth was perfect for us. We both chose the Kilkenny Chicken Salad which features mixed salad greens, diced tomato and hard cooked eggs, crumbled bacon and crispy breaded chicken breast with a honey Dijon dressing. This is served with a warm fresh baked roll and honey butter. The server and staff were friendly and very accommodating . Our water glasses were promptly refilled and we were not constantly bugged to see if everything was ok. When we had finished our salads, which were quite large, our server Brandy brought the free birthday treat, the brownie bottom pit topped with hot fudge sauce, ,ice cream, whipped topping and a cherry. This was served with a spoon for each of us and that was a good thing because it was too much for one person. My lunch experience at Bennigan’s would certainly draw me back there again. The prices are reasonable and the service was excellent. Located at the North entrance near the carousel, it is very handy for shoppers and those just looking for a nice place to eat. more
