Benjy's is a restaurant serving American cuisineinHouston, in the U.S. stateofTexas.[1][2]

History[edit]

The restaurant was established by Benjy Levit in 1985.[3][4] Benjy's closed in 2020, on a temporary basis, during the COVID-19 pandemic.[5][6]

Reception[edit]

InCondé Nast Traveler' 2019 list of the city's 23 best restaurants, Charu Suri and Diane Oates wrote: "Here's the thing about Benjy's: Everyone will tell you it's their favorite restaurant—all for entirely different reasons. The brunch bunch will swear up and down that the French toast is the city's best hangover cure; the dinner crowd will point to the caramelized scallops as a near-religious experience. No one can agree on which dish—or even which meal—is best here, and that's what makes this place such a hit."[7]
