Let me tell you , it's a neat old place as a novelty, the food was really good and the bar worked hard to keep up. We had made reservations for our party of 12 and the table was ready in about 10 minutes. Our waitress had her hands full and really worked hard to give it her best shot. The place was way over priced though and old Bennie sends you out sour dough rolls and a salad bathed in italian dressing not cold and crisp. Forget asking for ranch or blue cheese and so on. You get what they want you to have. I liked it though and the meals are served with your choice of fries or baked potato and all else is a la carte The food came out to my surprise,fast and it was hot and tasty. We had everything from the the ribeye (large), the filet (small) , the seafood platter (bountiful) to the fried chicken(some of the best i've ever had). 2 peolple could have split the chicken or the seafood platter or the ribeye, all else was portioned for one person.Old Bennie would be well served to have folks walking around with a pitcher of ice water and tea along with carrying the most asked for condiments cause otherwise your food will be cold waiting on them. The place was WAY over priced, dim and LOUD, but how often do you get to eat in an air conditioned barn? And brother let me tell you it was was packed and gave no signs of letting up.There was a children's section on the menu although i did not scan it. My bill for 3 with tip ,1 cocktail each no dessert was $96.00 So all in all it was a neat thing. If your on the island give it a try, otherwise find yourself a Carrabbas , Bonefish Grill or for that matter if you want a good steak at a good value find a chain steak house and get the bloomin onion to go with it :-)))
