Bennigan's In Elg - Lufkin

Irish pub with food worth the price and attached to the Holiday Inn if you drink too much! :D

Parking lot was pretty full but I think most was for the hotel because when I went in there was plenty of tables. Had the Ruben fritter appetizer and they were barely warm, and then had the Monte Cristo sandwich which was overdone so the batter on the outsidewasn’t that great. Service was good and food came out quickly.

Pretty much what you'd expect of a restaurant in a Holiday Inn Express.

Arrived Saturday night. I had $17 Fish and Chips, $11 Shot of Jameson Whiskey, and 2 $8 pints of Guinness Stout. Tax and tip made it over $50. The food was good, the whiskey was bigger than a shot, and the Guinness was good.

Its obvious they are under different management. Atmosphere is different, our waiter was nice but was not really interested in making our experience the very best. Forgot to bring my wine that I ordered, I never recieved it. Brought the wrong soup. Our food was good but it took 30 minutes for our food to come it was 50% full. The previous manager would make sure each table had what they needed had a great experience. That makes a huge difference. I'd say we won't be back as often as we use to.
