Bennys

On a morning after the night before, there’s nothing quite as miraculous as a traditional diner fry up on a heavy white plate. Pour a cup of Lyon’s, butter up the toast and let the healing begin.
For City Centre sufferers, Benny’s is the place to rejoin the land of the living.
This is as close to a true American diner as it can get (sorry Eddie Rockets, no points for chroming the tables) with an affordable, unchanging menu of burgers, chips, all things battered, buttered and sold between slices of bread. The coffee is heathenish but their stainless steel pots of black tea will transport you.
On our most recent visit the injured party soothed his aching head with a mountain of breakkie (served all day for € 7.90): 2 eggs, toast, sausage, pudding, a pool of beans and tea. I opted for a chicken club which came –rather than stacked –as three sandwich halves with salad and a handful of crisps.
But I won’t be smug about the cuisine; Benny’s has been keeping teens and taxi drivers happy for years now, so the formula clearly works. The eat-​in area is clean and bustling with very local eaters. The take away lane is always out the door on weekends and after hours, but don’t let it deter you –this is an outstanding little chipper with a heart of gold.

Bennys in my opinion is the best diner in Dublin. It is much better value than Leo Burdocks, and defintely alot cheaper than Eddie Rockets! That doesn’t mean it is cheap, it is reasonably priced. But the food is gorgeous! You can tell they put the effort into their burgers and their chips are lovely and chunky, making it so popular with the locals.
