Our establishment is undergoing new and exciting changes including the expansion of our Latin restaurant. Some of our specialties include the following: Mofongo with your choice of shrimp (camarones), pork (cerdo), or chicken (pollo), as well as our signature steak or chicken Jibarito, el Cubano (sandwich), empanadillas, and the classic white rice and beans with pork chop (arroz blanco con habichuelas y chuleta) or red rice and pigeon peas (arroz con gandules).

Please do yourself a favor and visit this lovely restaurant bar! Celebrated my mother's retirement party at Benny's and I honestly couldn't think of a better place! First, literally the cleanest bar I've ever been to...like ever! Super CLEAN! Perfect space and atmosphere for our family and friends to eat, drink, relax and laugh. Highly recommend! If you're thinking of booking...BOOK BENNY'S!!! Literally had guests complimenting all night. We loved the place. The service is unmatched! The owner truly cares about your experience. A lifetime memory was made and I'm so glad it was at Benny's!

Benny's is a hoppin joint. We had our fantasy football draft here. It was awesome surrounded by all the big TVs. And then the karaoke started! Great times

Went to Benny for wing night, waited 2.5 hours for our wings and the staff was very busy, the manger/owner walking around like no care in the world. I actually know the owner and thought i come and support his business but clearly he doesn't care one bit. Lady that was next to me at the bar said..... "He doesn't care about the long wait on food orders, as long as your buying alcohol" I'll be going to Blue Palm Restaurant for now on, way better food, service and the owner makes you feel welcomed!

Good morning Lisa,
Above all, I want to apologize you had to wait an unreasonable amount of time and that your experience was not positive. My name is Joe and as the owner, I am embarrassed to know we failed in providing you better service. I am rarely at my place of business after we open so I'm not sure who was physically present that you referred to as the owner.
This is unfortunate and there is no excuse for it. The only thing I can say in our defense is that we have been extremely busy since we started with the $0.50 cent wing specials three months ago.
We encourage everyone to support ALL local Latino businesses so, by your support of the Blue Palm, we are happy to know you will continue supporting Latino businesses.
However, one thing that does not help any Latino business, including Benny's as well as the Blue Palm, is the amount of negative reviews and 1-star ratings. We have always hoped people would reach out to the individual business and let them know what they can do to improve. Businesses are always a work in progress and employees can make or break us.
We are sad to hear we did not do well and vow to learn from this review so other people can have a better experience.
Thank you for helping us become better. - Zaya A.OH, OH02Dec 1, 2021

Last night my fiance and I decided on a whim to go to Benny's sports bar in hopes that they were playing the pay-per-view bout between Tyson fury and deontay Wilder. Sadly, that was not the case... BUT, it wasn't a total waste! I've been to Benny's sports bar before in the ambiance have always been great....great security, great people with great music and not to mention ridiculously great food!
This was my official first time eating at Benny's, not that I have wanted to before, just never did...I don't know what I was thinking!! Lol. The menu is two-sided with a lot of tasty options. Finally we decided on an appetizer of 3 and panadillas period two chicken and one beef. they were VERY appetizing. Handmade empanadas oh, and the chicken was also very well made and seasoned. The one beef empanadas was absolutely scrumptious and all three were filled with very generous portions. Meanwhile, Mary the bartender took excellent care of us and all our needs. Very accommodating and extremely friendly...Mary was also very helpful with our selections.
We finally decided on 2 Pernil Sandwiches - my goodness... We weren't ready for what we received. The sandwich was by far one of my top three sandwiches that I've ever eaten in my life! The other two titles are held by my mother and grandmother if that tells you anything lol. Sandwiches came out cut in half on a toasted French bread bun. The bun itself with seasoned before it was griddled with seasoning and the mixture of butter along with seasonings are embedded within the bread... Absolutely delicious. And that's just the bread! The pork came very very moist and traditionally seasoned with Puerto Rican spices... And absolutely dripping with flavor. Also accompanied is chopped lettuce and a piece of tomato on each half of the sandwich. It also comes with cheese and a secret sauce that they slather on that is generously applied and tasted VERY good! Simple potato chips are served on the side as well. These sandwiches can be best accompanied with an ice cold Corona with a lime.
We had a very good time even though we didn't dance, it was fairly early in the night when we left because we wanted to check out a few other spots, but I guarantee you next time we will be closing that bitch out!! - thank you for the excellent service and hospitality. We will certainly return!Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Jul 2, 2019
This is an above average sports bar with numerous high definition flat screen televisions and a menu heavy in Spanish dishes as well as more mainstream options. The drinks are reasonable and the staff are generally helpful and friendly. On Friday and Saturday nights there is a $5 cover after 9:00 pm, but the crowd is lively and it's not excessive. I usually sit at the bar and have a rum and coke while watching a game. Overall, this establishment is a nice change up from the usual dives and hole in the wall joints that seem to dot Cleveland's landscape. The only real downside would be the parking - or lack thereof - which at times can extend all the way down the street before an open curb space is available.

Just terrible, i went there and there was nobody at the bar, another person said the girl who was working there had step outside for a smoke, absolutely ridiculous, we waited like 10 mins she came back and didnt even ask if we needed anything. I just left that place

We came in very late, about 12:30am, we were immediately greeted by the bar tender. Honestly, this bar tender, (didn't catch her name) but he is the BEST part of this place IS the bar tender! Food was awesome, she makes the best drinks and is so sweet she makes you just not want to leave!
