Benny’s Boynton Grill

Benny’s was exactly what I pegged it to be– a dive grill. Not a term I use often but it’s exactly what it is. With mixed food reviews from fellow Unilocalers and a nearly empty bar on Cinco De Drinko, I couldnt help but wonder why. Benny’s has a nice big oval bar with seating on both sides to view the numerous tv’s playing various sports. They have a big dining area, although later find out that the kitchen closes at 9pm which made me wonder why it was completely open to the bar sitting area if it closed so much earlier than the bar.
Jason, the bartender was great. He engaged us and was genuine. He’s been there 13 years and you could tell from his tone that Benny’s isn’t living up to it’s or his potential. With some excitement he did reveal that they are in the process of converting it to more of a sports bar feel. He said they are adding pool tables where some of the dining tables were.
So that first part was meant to be posted on cinco de drinko… lately, we’ve seen more and more cars parked here as we driveby, so suspicion finally got the best of me… I called first and Jason’s words were music to my ears. Benny’s has made the changeover!!!
Wthin 30mins we were out the door and around the corner to Benny’s to catch some preseason awesomeness. Officially a sports bar once again, the empty dining tables have been replaced by pool tables and triple the patrons at the counter.
A few more weeks and Benny’s will be well on its way to the poppin non-​chain sports bar West Boynton desperately needs.

This place closed up last month, ie no longer in business at this location.

Some people call this a dive. It’s kind if clean and well lit but tacky. I’m not sure I would characterize it as a dive. It just looks like it was decorated with extreme budget (low). We had the 6.99 hamburger special which comes with fries and one soft drink. The burger was perfectly cooked and the fries were good. We enjoyed it. The service was fast. Lots of older people. We went for lunch.

This placed was packed with locals like us so you know it has to be good. The service is friendly, all smiles, and the food was fast and delicious. What impressed me was the sweetness and tenderness of the lobsters. All three of us said likewise. I had an excellent clam chowder. This is a place we’ll be eating at again and again.

We’ve been going to Benny’s, now for a year. When it opened the food was really great. Since last year we have seen a decline in both the food and the service but an increase in thje price. We know that things have gotten more expensive but most restaurants are still giving refills on drinks and their prices for drinks has not jumped. To make matters worse their wait staff has changed but the new staff gives you service with an attitude, Last time we went to Benny’s our waitress had an attitude like she was doing us a favor to take our order and then bring our food. We though that she was having a bad day and gave her a second chance last
7 pm. NOT! They were out of 1 ¼ lb lobster, happens. I did not want fried potatoes with my burger so she said that for $ 1 I could get the corn I wanted or have a double slaw. Their slaw is really good so I opted for double slaw. Well, I go potatoes and was told that my plate with the slaw was a double portion. She was so busy breaking down the restaurant for the evening that we had to catch other waitresses for water refills, I had asked her for extra onions with my burger but when she dropped of my burger without the onions, I had to yell across the whole restaurant because she was on her phone. Is this the rise and fall of Benny’s?

Had lunch here today. No happy hr until 3 and my absolute not eligible. Drink was only $ 6 so not a big deal. Olives were emancipated. Cola drinks are an unknown brand x. Not Coke. Not Pepsi. A friend rejected it when he tasted it. He had requested a diet coke and was served the mystery soda. Opted for club soda instead. All of us ordered burgers previously suggested by other Unilocalers. Learned it was a $pecial now starting today at 5.99 including fries and mystery sodas. Menu price was $ 6.99. The 3 of us and one other we’re at the bar at 12:30. We chose a table and the server was pleasant but the burgers took 30 minutes to arrive. Don’t go here on a lunch break if you are employed. The burgers were very good. Fries average. Return visit? I don’t think so. Call ahead for lobster prices as they apparently change daily and aren’t the bargain they were just a few weeks ago.
Good luck Benny.
The good burger and value brought me back with two friends. 2 burger specials and a blackened fish with soft drinks for 3 of us was $ 22. Burger good. Server somewhat indifferent but quicker than last visit. Most clientele well beyond 70. Ambiance? I’m laughing.

My friends are always telling me how awesome the food is, but never really mentioned the service so I thought I would give it a shot. So very sorry I did. My waitress was so spaced out, it took her ten minutes to realize I was there, out of the whopping three people in the dining area, and even after taking our order, she walked past us repeatedly with out bringing our drinks. The manager? had to tell her to get them for us, and then he told us we should yell at her for not being more awake. I know he was joking but it really wasn’t funny.
So we got our appetizer, and it was really good! Not that the waitress bothered to check with us. Burgers were awesome, so food really was good, but with waitstaff like that, even the food wasn’t enough to make me come back.
Also, just as a side note, the odor of old beer hits you on the way in and the way out, so hold your breath!

$ 5.99 hamburgers with fries, and $ 22 lobsters what a deal… hambergers were quite good… and a busy joint

I’m party of a bunch of guys that go there regularly for lunch. Great hamburgers at very cheap prices. Nice wait staff. Little scary when you first go in but you get over that quickly.

Ignore all the reviews that say this place is a dive. If you are looking for fine dining go elsewhere. If you want a two pound lobster for 22 bucks this place is just fine and in fact is better that the Station House in Lantana. You will also find the largest selection of draft beers in the area. Enjoy, but please don’t linger. Other people are waiting for your table.

The place reminds of a tavern but it has a great lobster special. Place was packed on a Thursday night. Easier to find seating at the bar. Its a throwback to a simpler time and I think that is why I like the place.

Dive-​y? Try a straight dive, maybe I got a bit scared by the over 80 set wailing away at karaōke, gerioke lol. The place was pretty dirty which Kinda bothered me, food was ok but I won’t be back, beers were a dollar but damn, you do pay for it with the atmosphere. They were out of both shots that I tried to order for my crew, patron and Granma

We came here the other night and it was the usual hole in the wall. They have arm rests around the bar area, so that was comfy to lean on while drinking and laughing about stupid bs. We didn’t have any food because the kitchen was closed and the bartender raved about it. I was kind of disappointed since we were hungry and didn’t want to have to make another stop on the way home. They are under new management and they are trying to bring more customers in. Why the 2 stars? I wasn’t digging the atmosphere. I understand it was a bar, but I was turned off by the two idiots that came in and had to stare at every single lady in there. They thought they were going to get some action and the only thing they got from me was a middle finger on the way out. If I were to go back there, it will be during the day when the food is available and the horny creeps are no where to be found.

If there is a picture of a dive in the dictionary it is Benny’s. That is meant in the best possible way. Cheap drinks, decent bar food, and a staff that knows what it means to take care of regulars. Attracts and older crowd early on, later as surrounding joints close younger folk wander in. This by no means is the place you go to have a fancy night out. Leave your Ed Hardy BS at home, put on something comfy, order a pitcher, play some pool, watch the game, and have a good time. Everyone is friendly and have yet to ever have a night were I left in anything but a good intoxicated mood.

I came here years ago with family when I was out of town for some small meals. From what I remember the food was decent even though it was mainly a bar.
Several years later I come with my Dad and Uncle, this place is truly a full on bar. It is quite large and has several pool tables in the back for you to play. The crowd is mainly older and seem to have lots of regulars.
The food tables are mainly gone from before.
All three of us ended up getting a pitcher of beer for $ 7.00! Can’t beat that. Along with the cheap beer they offer free small slices of pizza during the day. At least I thought it was free because a large pan of pizza was sitting by itself off to the side for a long time. We pounced on it right away. It was cheap pizza which I expected, nothing special.
The décor inside is your typical bar with televisions everywhere, corny signs on the walls and all stool seating. One cool thing that I don’t see here in California too often is arm rests of sorts on the edge of the main bar table. So while you are enjoying your drink, you can lean your arms forward on the soft cushion!
Not entirely a place for somone in your 20’s such as yours truly but decent beer prices. I might come back when I visit the family again.
