Bennett's American Cooking

Great restaurant with a really diverse menú. Comfort food and also Hugh end food. Has a few great special, especial Monday bottle of wine and 2 entrees.Save room for dessert!! We tried the butter cake and the banana creamos pie. They were both great!Service was very good, our waiters William really took care of us.I highly recommend Bennett's.

The food was extremely bland. The sauces put in so much work to make the food taste good. When you're paying top dollar, I expect the food to taste better. The waffle cut fries were the best think I tasted. The Mac and cheese, didn't have cheese and we sent it back. I was really disappointed and will not be coming back.

Decided to try Bennets for my husband's birthday since we used to love coming to this spot when it was Bandera's. We made a reservation. First drawback - no parking - literally none. Finally parked in a 30Min zone and crossed our fingers. Second drawback - while the servers were friendly it took forever for someone to come to our table.When we finally got food it was just edible. In a town where really in innovative food is abundantly available this reminded us of our grandparents favorite restaurant in Las Vegas - the long-gone Phillips Superclub. Ed got the sea bass which was blandly presented and tasteless, and the accompanying asparagus was just steamed and plopped on the plate in fat spears. I got a beat salad with shrimp and goat cheese and the lemon vinaigrette was fine but nothing to be excited about. The mixed lettuce was compressed and somewhat wilted. We got an appetizer also - some tempura shrimp - again just battered and stacked on some cabbage with a little dressing on the side. Finally the chocolate cake was dry and boring, and what was in theory cobbler was watery (not lovely reduced fruit etc) and probably the worst cobbler I've ever had. The ambiance is the basically the same as banderas but other than that and the fact it starts with B there are no similarities!

A bit of a drive from downtown sac but good bang for your buck on the ribeye. Nicer interior than I'd expect just looking online. Accommodating service. If you order the bone-in ribeye or porterhouse, they show you wrapped steaks and tell you the weight and total cost, and you pick the steak. We got 1.8 lb bone-in ribeye for two to share. Pretty surprised we cleared it. It was cooked to order, medium rare. Could use more salt but otherwise juicy and tender. Not bad for $80. Mashed potatoes as a side for $11. Finished off with the key lime pie, which had a nice non-soggy and substantive crust (good crust to filling ratio). I liked that it wasn't too sweet.

Hubby and I opted for Bennett's American Cooking in Arden for a last minute day date spot. Making a reservation was a breeze through their online portal that you can access on Yelp or on the restaurant's website. I appreciate that they read the note I left in my reservation, letting them know that we will have a stroller so we will need space near our table. We were seated in the back which was nice and out of the server's way. Kevin, our server was very nice. He wasn't overly bubbly but he also wasn't a chatter box. He was just right and provided good customer service. Our order was placed and the food arrived within a decent amount of time. Our steaks were still hot, as if it was just removed from the grill. I opted for the prime rib special that they offer Friday - Sunday after 4pm, while supplies last! I ordered mine at a medium rare and I noticed the first one Kevin brought out was more well-done than I like so he was able to come back with another steak at the temp that I originally wanted. My husband order the bone in ribeye and was able to hand-select which steak he wanted, this was cool! His steak was divineeee, juicy and cooked just perfectly! Our steak were delicious! Overall, the food here is well prepared and you can tell the chefs took time in preparing. Very nice interior with and intimate setting - perfect for date night! I will be returning for a second visit to treat my parents to a nice yummy steak!

Popped in after a doctors appointment nearby and felt like treating myself to a little something. It was a little nostalgic for me coming into this parking lot since I used to be office manager for a long gone medi-spa next door. I parked in "my" parking spot and walked over.Happy hour started at 2pm (yay!) I ordered an iced tea and the Brie cheese from the happy hour menu ($12 which includes a big bowl of melty Brie, bread with honey drizzled, fig jam, and sliced apples). Happy hour has some good deals if you are in the area.The ambiance is beautiful and modern. The seats at the bar are comfortable and there are cushioned seats around the border of the u shape bar. I will be back in a couple weeks to check out the other happy hour items and actually try a cocktail. They also have to-go family menus that I have saved for my next visit to my sister. Also, thanks Tony at the bar for helping me pick something out.

Quite during Happy Hour , Party of 4 started with appetizers Big bang shrimp tempura and stacked calamari. Ordered a Filet and it was cooked medium perfectly tender. My family ordered the salmon , Steak frites, burger with mushroom which they all enjoyed. Service was at a pace but always checking our table and refill our waters great! take your time and enjoy your meal here espresso martini was smooth They do have weekly specials , happy hour and more info on their website. Do recommend for dinner

I recently dined at Bennett's American Cooking, and it was such a great experience that I went back for a second visit just days later! On both occasions, the service was warm and welcoming--we were greeted nicely and seated at a comfortable booth right away. I did have a reservation both times and I highly recommend it as they were quite busy.During my first visit on Monday, I tried the cheeseburger, which was incredibly flavorful and one of the best I've had in a long time. When I returned on Wednesday with my father, I decided to try the short rib with mashed potatoes--and wow, it was a fantastic choice! The meat was so tender and paired perfectly with the creamy potatoes.My father had the oysters to start and shrimp fettuccine, and we also shared the spinach dip as an appetizer. Every dish was prepared beautifully and tasted amazing. To top it all off, we ended the meal with the lemon crème brûlée for dessert--perfectly tart, creamy, and a yummy way to finish.

This place was not on my radar. But it is now. A very classy place. The menu has a lot of choices for appetizers, entrees & desserts. Everyone can find something here. A lot of different protein choices like beef, fish, chicken and pork. They ask a lot questions to make sure they chefs cook your food to your liking. I thought the food was fantastic. The bone-in rib eye was definitely worth the price. Service was good and the restaurant was tidy and elegant. The only thing I would like to see is a chair or two in the lobby for waiting.

Everything went well once our party of 3 were at one table. The hostess had a problem with our reservation and seated all 3 of us at separate tables. After informing the various wait staff, our final waitress was great. She advised us on dessert and was spot on with the warm butter white cake. The spinach dip was warm, thick and delicious-had a hint of chili flavor that made it special. I ordered the chicken and ribs that was just fabulous! The chicken was in small nuggets making it easier to eat and the ribs were fall-off-the-bone just tasty. Parking is getting difficult at this strip mall but parked in front of a business that was obviously closed for the day. Other than gathering our party at one table, this restaurant is fabulous!
