There are currently 15 Bennigan's restaurants in the U.S. and 18 in Mexico, South America and the Middle East. The current Bennigan's are owned by Dallas-based Legendary Restaurant Brands, which is reviving Bennigan's (it also owns the Steak and Ale chain, which it's also trying to salvage).
Is Bennigans making a comeback?
Bennigan's, once a stalwart among casual-dining chains, is mounting its comeback after going through bankruptcy a decade ago. The faux-Irish pub-and-grub concept, known for its deep-fried Monte Cristo sandwich, shuttered all 150 of its corporate-owned locations in 2008. (A number of franchised units remained.)
