Bennigan’s was established in Atlanta, Georgia (USA) in 1976 by Norman Brinker. Over forty years later, Bennigan’s is still the iconic brand committed to provide a welcoming, friendly and festive spirit of Irish hospitality.

The menu offers signature and trademarked items such as The World-Famous Monte Cristo, the Big Irish, the GUINNESS® Glazed Bacon Burger, Oh, Baby™ Back Ribs, the Death by Chocolate™ and the Long Ireland Iced Tea. 

The owner and CEO Paul Mangiamele, together with his wife Gwen, personally and fully commit to the success of the brands focusing on driving the guest value proposition while offering franchisees flexibility.

The group also launched Bennigan’s On The Fly, an innovative fast casual or full service format specifically tailored for non-traditional venues such as airports, food courts and universities, which features a flexible menu of signature dishes. Other innovations include catering  services, take-out, online ordering and late-night dining, in response to the changing times.
