Bennigan’s - Santa Clara, CA

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

Heh, I thought this place went out of business…apparently, someone bought the name and the locations, and opened them up as franchises. It’s pretty much as I remember it growing up, with cheap provolone and bland soup. A couple of extra points for nostalgia, though.

Nothing special about this soup, topped with provolone. It came out a bit on the cold side, so I sent it back. They were nice enough to create an entirely new one, though I thought that unnecessary.
