Changing Tastes

Chato44 are you suggesting that McCain is the answer?

The Bennigans in Beaumont Texas had the worst service every time you went there. Last time i ate there which was about a year ago, I knew they would be going down. They made customers wait for a long time even though they had tables open. When you finally got a table you waited and waited to ever see a server. The food was good but the service put them out of business. People talk about their experiences and it didn't take long for everyone to know.

Bottom Line...Obama is the Anti-Christ. All of you that follow this man are heading down the wrong path. I do not want to go religious on you but open the book of Revelation and read my friends. Come on, 200,000 people attending his events. Write again when you get your chip identification implants. Is there anybody out there that can have the strength to stand up and fight.

too many restaurants like this and it's bound to hit other chains. People want unique places to eat and enjoy their time out. They don't wnat to drop serious money at a boring and typical eatery I think more people are lookingto local owned restaurants and stores with the bad taste in their mouth from stores and restaurants like Walmart, Pizza Hut and others. Peole want to feel like they spent their money having a good experience and to a good cause like a locally owned restaurant, grocer, boutique, etc. While the economy is tight, it doesn't mean we are going to skimp on quality because this is the American way!

My son and I ate frequently at Bennigans in Fort Myers, Florida and never found anything wrong with the food or the service. The Monte Cristos were always done perfectly as well as everything else we tried. Never had a problem with the service either. We live in Mass and found that the one on the North Shore didn't measure up to the one in Florida. Regardless, I'm always sorry to see a business fold and people losing their incomes.

Bennigan's was always one of my favorite places. Evenrually, Nashville lost the two we had. One was replaed by O'Charley's and the other became a Mexican Restaurant in a bad part of town.

This should serve as a somber warning for O'Charley's, Applebee's, Chili's, and yes even Olive Garden. Eventually, even the faithful move on. Restaurants like any other business have to change with the times and with the taste of their customers.

Rest In Peace Bennigan's: I'll always cherish the memories.

By the way, I sold all of my stock in O'Charley's. Time to get out before the crash.

I used to love Bennigan's and have very fond memories of that wonderful place.

I recently sold all of my stock in O'Charley's, a competitor.

This should serve as a somber warning to O'Charley's, Applebees, and other chains. Learn from Bennigan's mistakes. Even the faithful will leave eventually.

I last year I went to a Bennigans I liked it alot. The only thing there was none nearby me. These days to drive 25mins to eat is not what I do, It has to be 5-10 drive only. If they were close I would be eating there.

I liked Bennigans alot but they were not close to me. If there were one closer liked the other chains I would have gone there.

A thirty year old corporate chain, whose menu was still 30 years old............

They did not do Food Research, they did not do Environmental Conditions research, They had no lighting change in 30 years, no one decor change in 20 years, no sound, no white noise creation, nor any olfactor change in 20 years... they have no idea how to create atmosphere after the first brain fart that started the Irish pub thing.... after that it all stopped.

Not a real hard consulting job to get it fixed, but why did they wait so long? Lets you know as a consultant not to work with them,..... wait for the new management, the present execs can not think.

To bad they screwed the franchisee.... hopefully the franchisees will file for the tradename.

It could be fixed pretty easy... little consulting work and I

I use to love to go to Bennigan's to indulge in the Monte Cristo but the last time I tried one they have so much grease soaked into it I couldn't eat it. Probably had the frier turned down to save money which made the sandwich cook too slow so soaked up the grease. Never went back.

My family had their last visit recently. I confirmed with the server and subsequently the MANAGER that their Broccoli Bites had no bacon (I'm a Vege). After sinking my teeth into one, I quickly realized the server and MANAGER were wrong. They apologized. I e-mailed the company expressing my surprise at the store's lack of knowledge of their own products and also requested vege. options. I never received a response.

bennegans never tried to "begin again" with service or hospitality. the times i went there they could honestly care less weather they had patrons or not. now granted thats a problem with individual managment, but this was in 3 restaurants in 3 different states...perhaps it was an ongoing trend to chase business away. olive garden really treats people like family. i don't go out 2 eat 2 eat healthy, i go out 2 eat to eat different varieties of food and be treated well...bennegans never treated me or my family like they even cared if i was happy, satisfied, or hospitable...anyone wanna bet the franchise owners make severe changes NOW...perhaps they should have made them before...so they could "begin again" to gain their customer base back.
