About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for happy hour
  • Charming
In every city, there is a natural gathering spot for city folk and neighborhood people in the know. This place in Saint Paul is know as Bennett's Chop & Railhouse. Located on West Seventh & Victoria, it is the perfect meeting place of uptown and downtown, of quiet neighborhood and big city lights.

It's called a chophouse because it specializes in a casual steakhouse atmosphere with top-of-the-line cuts of the finest meats. It is a Rail-house because it is on the old railroad line serving the city and rail drinks (as well as top brands) are served in the convivial atmosphere of the horseshoe bar.

And of course Bennett's is Bennett's because owners Joe and Meghan Bennett ensure that welcoming hospitality is always served. They have taken their decades of experiences with leading hospitality brands and translated it into an intimate venue where you're not only a customer, but more importantly, a welcome guest.

    Terrible service waited at least 15 minutes for water Salad was brought with ketchup not French dressing Ribs were so overcooked they could not be eaten The 6 oz sirloin looked like 3 oz Had to request drink refills The walleye and Ruben egg rolls were very good But not good enough to ever go back Disappointing

    Disappointed. The best part of dinner was our waitress who was very sweet. This place is Super noisy. My husband and I came here to celebrate our anniversary. The place was so noisy that we couldn't even talk to one another.

    Great food! The tenderloin bites, Reuben egg rolls, and chopped salad are iconic. Good service. Small dining area but nice ambiance.

    We love hitting Friday fish fry’s during Lent. Bennett’s advertised a fish fry - and yes they had fried fish - what we were served was a triangle shaped fish stick. 3/8 of an inch thick.

    Our go-to whenever we have the opportunity to visit St Paul. Everyone is so welcoming and the service is top notch. Love the neighborhood feel! Once we had to wait for a table and the owner bought us a drink. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Oh and the food is unbelievable. They have the best spinach artichoke dip, burgers and steaks just to mention a few times we have had the chance to try. The homemade carrot cake is unmatched also. Just love everything about this place!!!!!
