Benny's On The Beach - Pier

It is a very nice place gorgeous brunch and they have two locations (both basically on the beach) definitely recommend as other places are walking distance such as Ice Cream shop etc I do not recommend the seafood linguine. The pasta was overcooked and was breaking down, the sauce was not flavorful but the seafood was good. On the other hand, their salmon was very good; the calamari was a win; fish and chips were tasty and finally burger was also great. Overall I recommend the place for their ambiance although I didn’t have a good experience with the pasta, I would recommend the tacos and everything else that I mentioned.

The view is great. Right on the pier staring at the ocean sun on your skin. There is covered seating if you rather sit inside. The food looked amazing. It is a priced as expected being on the water the portions are big and all well put together. We had 2 beers and calamari and the calamari was perfectly fried, not chewy, and large rings. Unfortunately there were only 2 servers on and it was difficult to get her attention. I felt like the other staff could have helped more like refilling drinks and such. Either way I would go back. BTW, 18% grat automatically added.

The view is Amazing and we love that its right on the beach. Con the wait time was 30-45 minutes. Not the restaurants fault. The people that are eating, instead of leaving they sit and lolly gag and gossip! Get up people The food was good, especially the Lobster roll, OH MM GEE it was delicious. We also had the fish and parmesan fries and the fried shrimp delicious and our toddler had the fish and fries. We had watermelon non alcoholic drink it was good, It could have been better by adding more watermelon. The cesar salad wasnt that good, Over all we would definitely go back. Compliments to the cooks they get a 10+

The view is the best part. Drinks are a bit weak and take a little long to get. The food was pretty good 4 of 5 stars. We have tuna, conch fritters, fish dip, and swordfish. The service was pretty good until the very end when she took longer than expected to bring our check and gather payment after we had been done for a bit. The beach is viewable from all seats on the pier. Try it at least once. Food and drinks are on the higher price side. 18% gratuity included on all checks.

The food and service were good. The market prices are extremely overpriced, though. I did not like that there's an 18% mandatory gratuity automatically added to all checks plus a credit card fee on top of that.

We loved Bennys..it was a great experience from start to finish. The location is perfect, right on the beach with stunning ocean views. The food was exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and well presented. Stand out dishes include the Tuna Tar Tare, Calamari, and Cuban sandwich. The staff were attentive and friendly. The ambiance was relaxed and inviting, with a perfect balance of casual beach vibes and comfortable dining. Highly recommend!

Not the first time here. I would like to note the always excellent, courteous service. The food and drinks are delicious. The portions are huge! But the sticky menu sheet is unpleasant.

Coworkers and I were in town for work so we decided to look around and see what was available to eat so we decided on we wanted seafood. We looked it up on Yelp and we're checking the places out in the area and we decided to stop here as the reviews look good and the food look good from the pictures. As we arrive we walked up to the right side of the restaurant where the outside section was and we walked up to the receptionist to try to finally seat on where to go. Arriving there we set in the back towards the end of the pier but the views were great awesome atmosphere The wind coming off the ocean was just enough to keep you cool enough to sit outside and eat. We had a great waitress she was very attentive and gave us suggestions on our food and what we should eat and things like that. First starter I got the calamari which was awesome comes with a nice dipping sauce along with some peppers and lemons the crunch was there good breading on there The flavor was there good starting point. For our dinners I got the mahi-mahi taco blackened with a side of cilantro lime rice and my coworker got seafood linguine. About dishes came out on point and hot and very flavorful in the seafood linguini dish You get a lot of seafood in it from scallops to muscles to shrimp nice size bowl and a creamy sauce and on my tacos the fish was cooked just right season just right not too much blackened seasoning which is an overpower of the fish along with the cilantro lime rice went very well together. Definitely recommend this place to go sit down have a nice dinner just sit outside listen to the ocean and enjoy a night time out on the pier.

The Food is always good , waiters and waitresses are top of the line. The bartender (s) are in a class of their own, effectively efficient, friendly and attentive to all their customers and the mandatory 18% tip is very well deserved, I always leave more , those guys and gals deserve it!

Service was terrible and food was ok but too rushed and lack of attention to customer

Benny's On The Beach - Pier is a local legend, and our local hosts suggested it was a must-do breakfast spot during our visit. We were not disappointed. First, location, location, location -- as the saying goes. As the name implies, it's on a pier that juts out into the Atlantic off of a sandy beach. And they have the perfect beachy ambiance inside and out (we dined outside). The menu has something for everyone. All four of us ordered one of their specialty breakfast dishes. (I had the "hash skillet" - I think that's what it's called.) We all loved our dishes. The waitstaff was awesome, too. I totally get why our hosts wanted to take us here, and I'd go back again with or without them when I am in the area again. If you're in the area, I highly recommend it.

Benny's on the Beach Pier, a local institution that I had the pleasure of revisiting after an eight-year hiatus. This unassuming eatery is offering an array of all-American fare for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but its crown jewel lies not in its menu, but in the wonderful views of the beach and the ocean that stretch out before it. My order, consisting of the swordfish dish, arrived promptly, and while I was eager to dig in, I could not shake the feeling that the presentation was a touch lacking. For a dish that commanded a steep price, I had expected a more elaborate presentation, but what I got was a simple, if satisfying, serving of grilled swordfish, accompanied by a side of vegetables and rice, If there was one area where Benny's on the Beach Pier truly excelled, it was in its service. Our server was attentive and friendly, checking in regularly to ensure that everything was to our liking and refilling our drinks. In conclusion, while my visit to Benny's on the Beach Pier was a pleasant one, I could not help but feel that the restaurant's prices, particularly for the swordfish dish, were a touch on the steep side, given the straightforward presentation. Nonetheless, the views, combined with the friendly service, make this a must-visit destination for anyone looking to enjoy a quintessential beachside dining experience. But if I were to return, it would be for lunch only,

We ended up at Benny's the first night we were in Florida. We got there around 8 PM and the hostess was kind enough to set us outside on one of the couches. You can't be sitting outside in the warm weather right next to the beach. We had a waitress and a trainee. The waitress was OK, but the trainee was phenomenal! We kinda wish she was our waitress. The service was good until we had received our food, then we did not see the waitress at all and had to flag her down to get the bill. Just a note that they do add the tip, and highlight it, on the bill. We ordered the nachos and the Asian lettuce wraps. If I had known the nachos were going to be so ginormous, we wouldn't have gotten a second dish. I liked the Asian lettuce wraps, but they were little too spicy for my wife. The nachos were my favorite!! They have the perfect amount of toppings. We actually brought them back to our Airbnb and anything for lunch the next day and breakfast the following day. We probably threw almost half of them away because we couldn't bring them back on the plane. I would definitely recommend getting the nachos! The waitress said you have their Keylime pie, but I just couldn't fit it. We did actually go back on Saturday and get it to go. I was kind of surprised it was $14 for a slice. Again, they added the tip to it so it was almost $18 for a slice of Keylime pie. I will say that it was a 9/10. The presentation to go probably wasn't the best, but it came with whipped cream, that tasted like it had marshmallow in it and some graham cracker crumbs. I ate half of it on Saturday night and then finished half on Sunday. Again, great taste, and a great portion. This place definitely exceeded my expectations for a restaurant and a tourist area. I would recommend going there.

Dining at the beach restaurant was a refreshing experience that combined great food with stunning views. The fresh air added to the ambiance, making it an ideal spot to relax and enjoy a meal. The calamari was a highlight--crispy and tender, served with a delicious dipping sauce that complemented the flavors perfectly. To wash it down, I ordered a piña colada, which was wonderfully refreshing and had just the right balance of sweetness and creaminess. Overall, this beachside restaurant offers a perfect escape, with delightful dishes and a picturesque setting. It's a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a meal by the ocean!

Talk about breakfast with a view! Was visiting the west palm area for the day and happened to find this gem. Service was great, the view was beautiful, breakfast was delicious. We were also given two free mimosas since they were updating their menu or something like that. But definitely appreciated that. Would go back again!

Our server was great and was very knowledgeable about the menu and made awesome suggestions. The sea monster Bloody Mary was awesome and fully loaded with four huge shrimp, snow crab, olives, cherry tomatoes and more. The shrimp and grits were awesome too and the serving of shrimp with the fish was generous. We sat out on the pier and the view of the beach and the ocean, while enjoying our meal, was awesome. The manager gave us free passes to walk out onto the pier after our meal as well.

The view, food, drinks, and the desserts are all amazing here. Doesn't matter if you come for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner, you're gonna have an enjoyable experience. I've never had a bad meal or service at Benny's! Make sure to check out the beach and pier while there!

This place is such a fun vibe! We sat in the outdoor bar area, where they played love steel drums music. Views of the beach from here are gorgeous, and it definitely brings beachy vibes. The cocktails are super fun. The Rubber Ducky Punch is good and it comes with a little rubber ducky on top! Max's Pineapple Colada is also phenomenal and delicious. Food is okay. Caesar salad tastes like getting a bag of it from the grocery store. However, the conch fritters were amazing! I highly recommend them.

What a great place right on the water!!!! the hostesses/manager was so accommodating with our seating we ended upstairs by the window! The service was good and the food was delicious the tuna dish with the avocado is soooo, fries are thick, the shrimp was so good. We Loved the food! The ocean view is breathtaking! Walk the pier for a buck! Great food and service!!! bennys is a must!!!!!

Awesome place when the weather gets little bit cooler in SoFla. The restaurant is on the pier and the beach in nice and clean. They were pretty busy when we arrived. We were greeted right away and taken to our table. There's both inside and outside seatings (which ever you prefer) We ordered Omelette, Breakfast Tacos and Kids Breakfast with some drinks and coffee. The food came out pretty fast but drinks took a bit longer. Food was not bad and portions were pretty generous drinks was tasty. Servers were nice and service was great!!

Food is terrible and overpriced, service is mediocre. Order fries, a drink and enjoy the view.

Cute little boardwalk restaurant overlooking the beach. I had the fish tacos which were super crispy and the slaw was tangy. Along with a watermelon drink. The service was a little slow as they were packed. We were a table of 7 and were told we could only sit inside outside seating was only for 4 and under. Which was a bummer cause we went for the views.

This was my first time at this restaurant and had dinner there. It was very windy so we couldn't eat outside with the ocean vire, but they had a back patio. So we ate there. I ordered swordfish and fries on the side. The swordfish was flavorful and a nice portion. I loved it. I didn't like the fries though. My friend had fish and chips. He liked it. It was pretty empty except for a few diners. Nobody would sit us down as we waited 15 minutes. I wonder if they were short staff that evening. But once we were waited on , we had good service.

Great Location & view!!! Speciality Cocktails are made with fresh juices by friendly wait staff. We ordered a Martini Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail that was delish.

Food great but service horrible ... Dressed up like a bear doesn't mean u can be waiter. Sad she didnt even know difference between cold brew coffee and ice coffee. Not good .

On the pier and it's a great setting. Service is nice, but neither good nor efficient. Drinks are fabulous. And arrived after ready to leave. An hour after it was ordered. You get the idea. Yeah, but how 'bout the food you say? Cuz EVERYONE talks the food up. Ok, so let me give it to you straight. Big quantities of mediocre food. Although, the fries were quite good. Calamari was good. The Turkey Asian lettuce wraps are no no no. The salmon dinner was oh so highly recommended. But was mediocre. All in all, come have a beer.

This restaurant has the VIEWS! We went for brunch and also afternoon drinks/apperizers during our trip. The food is a little pricey, but we were never disappointed with our selections. Fish tacos, cubano sandwich, and ceviche appetizer were all quite good. Drinks were good, also expensive, but to be expected with the location. Service was a little slow both times we visited, even when they weren't as busy. Note that they do include 18% gratuity automatically on every check. I agree with other yelpers, the dining chairs are not the most comfy and the wicker digs into your legs. Better chairs and I could easily sit here all day people watching and enjoying the views!

If you have friends visiting from out of town who want to go eat by the beach, it's hard to find anyplace that would top the list of go-to spots more than Benny's, but when going with a review in mind, having this place as a destination is a flip of the coin at best. Great food often seems to come at a price other than money. Arriving at 7pm on a Tuesday, our party of 6 was given the option of sitting inside or out. We chose inside and were then placed at a corner table whose open windows brought in the ocean noise which was lovely but also the wind so that in combination wort their fans, made conversation almost impossible. Our server Veronica was knowledgeable about the menu, friendly, and helpful, and our only ding on the service was when asked for napkins to corral the condensation leaking off water glasses and running all over our crooked table, we had to get up and go looking ourselves. She did bring a handful of napkins much later but by then we'd fixed it. Eh, it is what it is, it's the beach, you deal with it. I'd only ever been to Benny's for Brunch before, so we decided to start with a couple of craft cocktails. The lovely Spensyr had a spicy tajin rimmed passionfruit margarita, which she loved, while I went with their version of the Painkiller which substituted Nowadays hemp liqueur for the typical rum. I chose wrong and it was pretty but subpar at best. All 5 of my dining companions split their orders between fish & chips or fried shrimp so there wasn't a lot of variety, so I decided to mix it up and ordered chicken and waffles. The fish & chips was fantastic. Huge chunks of breaded pollack perfectly golden brown and puffed up crispy on the outside bit tender and still moist inside. Fabulous fries too. The shrimp was equally great. Big fat shrimp were perfectly cooked under their crispy crunchy breading, served with a basket of garlic parm fries. Chicken & Waffles was best of all. Crunchy fried chicken topped with jalapeños, sitting on top of crispy fluffy waffles topped with a sriracha honey? Yes please!

What a great place for breakfast! You get to sit on the pier, watch the waves and enjoy a fantastic meal. My friend and I split a meal. It was definitely enough to split. The pancakes were so good. Make sure you order pancakes with your meal!

Food is great , portions are big, so we over ordered and took home for next meal! Mango mojito was the best! Loved everything! Service was good even though he could have smiled more!

Smoke dip wasn't matching with the bread that it comes with. The calamari was extremely good and fresh! Same as the guacamole

I finally had the opportunity to dine at Benny's on the Beach. Although the restaurant was bustling, and we had to wait a bit for our table, the atmosphere remained comfortable. Once seated, the manager approached us and explained that our server was occupied with a large table but kindly took our drink and children's food orders. This initial interaction gave us a glimpse of the excellent service to come. When our server did arrive, he introduced himself and guided us through the menu, taking our order promptly. He was friendly and displayed an impressive knowledge of the menu items. As for the food, the calamari was generously portioned, although a tad salty. My husband and I opted for burgers, which turned out to be delicious. Overall, the service was exceptional, and I look forward to returning to Bennys on the Beach to explore more of their menu offerings.

Terrific food, great service, and wonderful ambience. The quality, the food and its presentation were top notch. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Totally fun place, great views, and tasty food! Just wish the chairs were more comfortable. They are truly uncomfortable especially for short girls! I didn't find prices to be too high especially when I saw the portions. Don't over order, everything is large! Then we went for a walk on the pier, it's attached but they charge $1 per person to go on it. I thought that was tacky since we just patronized the restaurant, but, oh well! The pier is worth the buck, beautiful gorgeous turquoise waters below and lots of birds and people catching some very nice looking fish.

We recently stopped by Benny's for a quick bite before heading home. We were seated right away upstairs with a lovely ocean view. We ordered the shrimp Bloody Mary and a watermelon martini, both of which were delightful. The shrimp Bloody Mary was rich in flavor, while the watermelon martini was refreshingly sweet. We also shared a shrimp ceviche appetizer that was fresh and tangy. Overall, it was a great stop with excellent drinks and a pleasant atmosphere.

What a great time! Benny's is on a pier on the beach and over the water. We met cousins we hadn't seen for a long time, and they suggested Benny's. I'm so glad they did. We were seated right away (we did have a reservation). The server handed us menus and suggested drinks and appetizers right away. We all ordered different drinks - I had to try their Pina Colada - served in a hollowed-out pineapple. Everyone had something different, and I can't recount what they each had. All I can say is mine was great. Sitting outdoors, on the water, was terrific - especially for someone who lives in Chicago. Admittedly, it was cool - being on the water in the evening, we should have expected that, and none of us dressed warmly enough. Even after the Pina Colada, it didn't help. But, being with family made up for it. For someone with food allergies, their menu is minimal. I was dying for fresh seafood - something local from the ocean. Unfortunately, there were no options for me. Everything had butter or cream (milk allergy) and gluten. They could make fresh salmon with broccoli and fingerling potatoes without the allergens. I do recall one other option (I am trying to remember what it was), but I decided on the salmon. Although it wasn't local, the salmon was perfect, as were the potatoes. The broccoli could have been cooked a little longer (it was blanched), but it was still good. The ambiance and company made the evening nearly perfect. Everyone had various options, and they all raved about the food. Benny's is not inexpensive, and it is definitely a tourist trap. They make up for it in their food quality and service. There is nothing like it in the Midwest, so we didn't care that it was touristy. For locals, it's worth the trip if you have yet to go. If you are visiting, add this to your list of places to visit.

Came here after hanging out at Lake Worth beach for the afternoon. My boyfriend and I got the drink that came in the pineapple and had the rum floater - soooo good! I wish they had an option for a refill at a discounted price, as $20/pineapple can add up. But they said they make all their drinks fresh, in house, no pre-made stuff so that was a plus. I got the crab cake entree which was also really good. The service was a bit slow with not a ton of people around, but you can't beat the ocean views you get with this place.

Great service awesome location and fantastic food. We had so much fun! Highly recommend the seafood.

Came here on a Sunday at 6 pm without a reservation and got seated immediately as a party of two. Everything on the menu looked so delicious, especially the drink menu that included pictures! We ordered the conch fritters, ahi tuna tostada, and mahi mahi tacos. All were so so scrumptious! The portions were humongous and we had a full box of takeout left to eat for the next day which tasted so incredible even reheated. These were truly the best conch fritters I've ever had. We ordered three drinks and the one in a pineapple tasted amazing! I don't like bitter tastes and this drink was very sweet so I highly recommend if you do not like the taste of alcohol. We were seated on the second floor and the bathroom was on the first floor which was a bit of a pain to get to. The view of the ocean was so incredible especially during sunset. The location on the pier is perfect. Unfortunately, it was drizzling so the outdoor seating was closed but I'm sure the ambiance outside is amazing as well. There is paid parking at the beach parking lots for a small rate per hour.

Always a must place to go when we are visiting family in West Palm Beach. Getting the early morning will be better to get a seat outside with a beautiful view of the pier and ocean. I got the avocado toast with scrambled eggs and cheese. My sister in law got the California eggs Benedict.

Beautiful morning for Benny's on the beach. Perfect weather to sit outside on the deck to enjoy the waves crashing on the beach. I was so bummed that they don't have their famous OMGBLTLOL sandwich anymore. Hubby and I both got corned beef hash which is the real deal. Real shredded corned beef cooked perfectly. The waitress was pleasant and attentive. Always a great experience at Benny's

On water decent place to spend sometime, good service ; maybe a little expensive than before ( this is ongoing any place you eat today ,

Update: today we got the ahi tostadas and WOW!!!!! They were absolutely incredible!!! So much flavor I was amazed

First off you couldn't ask for a more beautiful view of the beautiful ocean to view while eating. Breakfast, lunch and dinner you can't go wrong. Service is always great. The food is superb. You will love Bennys On The beach. Make sure you go to the pier location.

Beautiful location right over the water and delicious food. Great menu options for both food and drinks. Food was fresh and tasty. Service was friendly and fast. Would love to go again!

Overpriced drinks and food. Atmosphere on the water is cool. Service was good. This is fun spot to take friends from out of town for drinks.

I came during the full moon to sit on the pier. I ordered the curried cauliflower w/taziki, French fries, and veggies. Now I am not vegan, but most of the menu I can not eat right now. But let me say this the curried cauliflower was so good. It's lightly breaded and flash fried just right. It was 3 big pieces. I brought half of everything left home. They did not put much of the tzatziki sauce on the plate. I did need to ask for more. The waiter Oliver was really nice. The only thing I have to say is that I'm not sure because it was the drum circle because of the full moon that our food took way too long to come out for what we ordered. Over 30 minutes. But nonetheless the food was good and the service was good and the view was great.

I miss when this restaurant used to be on the pier and ocean front, but it's still in a nice spot. The backyard tables have a great view and are great to sit at. The servers are very polite, and the food is fairly good. The place is very affordable for being oceanfront and usually packed on the weekends.

Food - the food was good, at least what i ordered. That Sunday i went i was looking for yummy food, refreshing drinks and a great ambiance. The service was fast, the staff was attentive and hands on with everything we asked for.

Fun drink menu, great views. maybe put some alcohol in the cocktails we ordered so my brain doesn't have time to analyze critical flaws in your workflow (station to station activity in a restaurant) and Then i am charged gratuities at the point of sell. i ponder if you were forced into charging gratuities because negative experiences would impact Gratification/Gratitude/Gratuity specifically, someone in leadership needs to address tasking for each employee. lots of employees are running around - yall look well staffed and those folks look really really busy. I had an exorbitant Amount of Time to observe while waiting for my check (Thirsty And Sober). The team doesn't prioritize or delegate well amongst themselves. Where's the fun in that type of work day in hospitality? if you eat here Skip the cocktails.imma light weight and this was expensive juice, no punch. the food is good.

The food was really good. Really didn't like waiting for an hr, but I understand why! The drinks was potent as if I made it myself. My wife had to request for another waffle because one was flat while other was thick and fluffy. Overall experience was great and I'll be back!

This place is good! We sat inside (don't sit inside it's not very nice) but the food was really really good! Although it was crowded it didn't take long for food! We got the club sandwhich and the chicken and waffles! Sandwhich was delicious and the chicken in the chicken and waffles was really yummy! Our waitress patience was very nice!

Disclaimer - we had a very large party. There were about 20 of us and our waitress was great for such a big party. Our main courses were just okay. They may have been overwhelmed with the orders. The location was nice right on the pier next to the beach. We ordered a few appetizers which were good. The lighting downstairs (I did not go upstairs) wasn't great. Expected more from such a nice location.

first time here and will definitely be back the food was so fresh and delicious it is hard to find fresh seafood sometimes, loved everything we ordered was such a beautiful day to spend it with family and service was great do wish we were able to get the key lime pie but they said no because it was scheduled to close 10 mins before 3 I guess next time

Great food and ambiance. Although the day was very rainy, we still had great food! The service was good, very friendly staff. I tried the crab cake and loved it. We also had fish tacos that were amazing and the captains platter which was huge! The drinks were just ok. I would love to go back on a nice sunny day.

Food service and ambiance was wonderful. Server was personal and made for a great dinning experience

Beautiful ocean view ambience... Benny's On the Beach has so much potential. I found the menu limited and expensive. My father and I both ordered the fish and chips. This was fresh and two large piece of fried fish. I want to say it was special, but it truly wasn't special. The batter didn't really have a lot of flavor and was more like a thick beer batter than a light batter. But the fish was very fresh and arrived piping hot, right out of the fryer, so it was still very good. The fries were very good. We enjoyed our meals and the outdoor seating. I do recommend the restaurant, I just think the menu should have more to it. .
