Our server Jose was Amazing! He was very attentive,friendly & efficient. Great food and ambience! Delicious beef enchiladas filled with tons of tender juicy shredded beef wrapped in homemade awesome tortillas & smothered with a magnificent sherry cream sauce with a hint of spice. My husband had the grilled fish which was very fresh. He put some of my delicious enchilada sauce on his fish which made it even more tasty! Great find, we’ll be back!

The meat loaf was a tasteless hunk of something that did not seem like meat. The mashed potatoes that came with it were thin and bordering on runny. I wish I sent it back and ordered a hamburger. My wife’s steak frites was very good although she asked for the jus on the side and it was poured over instead. The wedge and mixed green salads were good. Music too loud and rowdy. Service was very good. I like the layout of the place. If there is a next time I’ll order the burger.
Bennett's American CookingResponded on March 6, 2025
Jim, We appreciate your feedback and are sorry the meatloaf didn’t hit the mark for you - next time, please let your server know so that we can correct the issue. Glad to hear your wife enjoyed her steak frites and that the service was great. We’d love to have you back to try the burger next time!

The new to me location on Fair Oaks Blvd is a handsome remake of another restaurant. The menu selections are broad in scope for brunch/ Service was stellar. The potatoes as desccribed on the menu were different than what was delivered which was disappointing. We enjoyed our time there.
Bennett's American CookingResponded on March 3, 2025
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the service and the ambiance of our Sacramento location. We apologize for the mix-up with the potatoes and appreciate you letting us know. We’ll make sure to address it moving forward. We look forward to welcoming you back!
