My dad was in the mood for steak, so we tried Bennett's. When we pulled up to the building I was not very confident because the outside appearance is not very nice for a steak house, looked more like a dive bar. We got inside and things improved greatly. It is still a bar, but in the dining area the tables all had nice cloths and it looked much nicer. We ordered drinks and they were very good. We each had the sirloin steak with au gratin potatoes, very tasty and done rare just as we ordered. For me the best part was the Brussels sprouts that came with the meal. They were sliced thin and sautéed and were probably the best Brussels sprouts I have ever had. It was more affordable than other steak houses as well, which is very nice!

This St Paul icon never disappoints! Went for dinner with three friends and every meal was awesome. We started with their soup to the day...beef stew. It was a creamy version of stew and the deep beef flavor was spot on. For dinner I had the pork chops with au gratin potatoes and green beans. The only minor this g about the beans is -there were very few on each plate! One plate literally had 4. I will add we could have asked the staff for more, but we did not. No bib deal and it did not take away from the delicious meal! We each had the drink of the day which was a yummy lemon spritz for only $5!Def recommend and thanks to them for being huge supporters of the St Paul Winter Carnival!

Was invited to have dinner at Bennett's in St Paul on a Sunday evening by my lovely in-laws. I've been to this location but it was probably 2 years ago and for lunch. They have an extensive menu of fancy entrees, burgers, apps, etc. I opted for the bison burger sans the horseradish aioli and a bun paired with fries alongside a Tito's and soda and lime. I ordered my bison medium rare..but it was more medium. I do wish they had some gfree buns. Everyone else enjoyed the mini Charlie's, the salmon, and the crab cake burger. Service was good. The only note is that the bathroom is a one stall. Looking forward to trying other items on their menu.

We were craving some food and well white castle was not doing the trick so we made a trip to bennets. We entered the old looking divy establishment and were greeted promptly by the hostest. As we were quickly ushered to our booth we glanced at the walls with lots of photos and autigraphed memorabilia and then were seated.We ordered the spinach artichoke dip that i remember eating last year and it was not the same. There was a lack of salt and peper but the garlic bread it came with was very good. I washed it down with a fat tire then our fillet mignon arrived. We selected fries with it and payed the extra to upgrade these suckers. We also got their soup of the day and that was a wild rice soup.After 15 minutes of anticipation the wild rice soup arrived. Now don't he fooled by the size the little cup packs a punch and 20 minutes after eating it sinks down to your stomach like a snitch wearing cement shoes in the river. The steak came out next... it came with some corn and omg the corn had nothing on it but it was divine. The taste of butter coated my mouth followed by the sweetness. Then I took a bite of the steak. Now its not the best steak I had but mine was cooked good enough. The layers of flesh melted in my mouth like a canibal eating a corpse and the fries well I don't know even though loaded they were nothing special.Emma our server did a fantastic job making sure we had what we needed and unlike most places we did not have to wait ages to get our bill. Emma also made sure we didn't die of dehydration and kept us hydrated. She was very bubbly and social and strong indication that she has been doing this for a whole and based on her promptness and social skills I can tell she was a pro.Most of the food ordered was cooked to our liking and some items needed more salt and pepper but that's why they put it on the table. Over all our experiance was good at Bennet...Ohh a buss with snow flakes arrived and some drunk guy with a cape with large metal buttons that were bigger than a Texans belt buckle came in screaming that he was in the house followed by shots and stuff.. did I mention free entertainment and people watching!!

Went last Friday for dinner before the Queen concert at the Xcel energy center with plans to take their free shuttle bus service to the show. Got there a little before our 630 reservation but told we weren't able to be accommodated until our time. Ok, no worries. Overheard the host telling another group they were way overbooked. Uh oh. Our server was very helpful, and greatly attentive. The food was awesome. My husband had the walleye with au gratin potatoes and I had the steak sliders with fries. Both great. My sliders were a bit messy but I didn't care, they tasted phenomenal. Now here's where they lose some points. When I called about the shuttle service earlier in the day, I was told it started at 630 and just made loops back and forth from the X from that point on. Awesome, we won't be the first ride then so crowd might thin out some... WRONG! Bus still wasn't there by 7. Our server was apologizing but assured us that it would get there soon cause the waiting crowd was getting restless. Now it's 720, and we have finished our meal, and still no bus. Also, there's been zero crowd control. People are vacating their tables in anticipation of getting on the bus but not one announcement is made on where to line up so people do so in the middle of the restaurant and keep banging into the back of my husband's chair. The server continues to apologize but it's still frustrating, imagine it to be like a little kid kicking the back of your airplane seat. It completely ruined the vibe and the good meal. Finally, as we're walking back to our car, the bus rolls up at nearly 730. We decided to just drive and bite the bullet to park. Wasn't interested in the same fiasco trying to get back after the show. TL;DR: good food, good service but skip it if there is something people are being shuttled to an event from there.

Bennett's.... Where have you been all my life?I live on the west side of Minneapolis but have been known to travel anywhere for dinner at a supper club.My husband enjoyed the sirloin with baked potato and chilled chopped dinner salad that was really very fresh and tasty.I enjoyed a nice Martini- and the two steak medallions with horseradish. Just perfect for me and came recommended from one of the guest we were dining with who knew the menu quite well.You guys rock it and I will be back!

server charged me $40 extra for being Chinese, I will be in contact with my lawyers. seems to run in the business as I've heard many other stories. They brought me dumplings even though I had ordered nothing at that time. my server, Max who I assume is the owners son would not stop making jokes about me ordering a fried dog. I will not be revisiting this establishment any time soon.

We had a very disappointing experience at Bennett's lately, which was a surprise as they are typically a great spot for dinner! We made reservations for 4 on a Saturday night for a family celebration. It was very busy and we were seated at a table near three large, full booths, with other tables nearby, and a fair number of loud, obviously intoxicated people were seated all around us. My boyfriend and I could hardly hear one another at the table, and asked the host if we could be moved to someplace quieter as we had an elderly person joining us later. She disappeared for a while before telling us that they cannot move us and that next time we need to call to make reservations for a quiet table rather than making them online. Our server was then very brusque when she got to our table, and acted annoyed that our 80 year old dad couldn't speak more loudly when ordering. Our drinks, salad, and entrees took forever to get to the table, and all came out at different times. At one point, an entree was sent out to us that we didn't order and we let the food runner know and sent it back. A good five minutes later, when my boyfriend still had no food, the server asked if everything was ok and we mentioned his prime rib hadn't come yet. She immediately told us that's not what he ordered and when we insisted it was she walked away. She finally came back and apologized for that, but by the time his food was ready the rest of the table had finished eating and so he got it to go. No discounts for the wait, or messing up his order, or being incredibly rude. We won't be going back. Food is good, but not good enough to make up for inconsiderate service.
