Benny’s Restaurant Menu With Prices in Brandon Canada

Benny's is one restaurant in Brandon, Manitoba, not a chain, and its menu reads like it: 85 items, ten sections, and prices written almost entirely in whole dollars. The only figures with cents on them are the cocktails.

Round numbers are the house style. A Classic Burger is $14.00, a Clubhouse $16.00, a Steak Sandwich $18.00, Chicken Parmesan $26.00, Pan Roasted Salmon $28.00. Cocktails break the pattern at $8.25 for all eleven of them, from the Classic Caesar to the Old Fashioned, and the six House Brands pours are $7.50 each. Martinis go back to whole dollars — $12.00 across the board, except the Premium Martini at $16.00.

Portion is priced openly rather than described. Slow roasted Prime Rib of Beef is listed three times by weight, at $36.00, $42.00 and $48.00, so each additional two ounces costs $6.00. BBQ ribs are $23.00 for a half rack and $30.00 for a full one. Braised Lamb Shank is $28.00 for one shank and $40.00 for two — the only place on the menu where doubling up is cheaper per unit than buying twice.

The Daily Specials are worth reading against the main menu. Wednesday's half rack of BBQ ribs is $19.00, against $23.00 for the same half rack under From Land & Sea. Tuesday is Pasta night at $15.00, which sits below Classic Carbonara at $19.00. Monday brings Steak & Shrimp with a 6 oz strip loin at $30.00, and Thursday's appetizer special is listed at $4.00 — a striking figure next to an Appetizers section where seven of nine items are $16.00 or more.

The 12-row Group Lunch Menu is a curated repeat rather than a discount. Every dish on it appears elsewhere at an identical price: the Clubhouse at $16.00, Classic Burger at $14.00, Chicken Strips & Fries at $14.00, Classic Carbonara at $19.00. Only the Black & Blue Salad differs, at $21.00 with a 6 oz sirloin against $22.00 in the From Land & Sea listing.

At the ends of the range, Surf & Turf at $55.00 is the most expensive plate and a cup of the Daily Soup Creation at $4.00 is the cheapest thing you can order — a bowl is $5.00, and French Onion Soup $7.00. Coffee, tea or a soft drink is $3.00. Only six of the 85 items come in under $5, and 29 under $10, which reflects a menu weighted toward full dinners rather than snacks.

Do prices vary across Canada?

Benny's is a single independent restaurant rather than a franchise, so there is no second location to compare against and no corporate price list sitting behind these figures — one kitchen sets them all. That also means an independent operator can revise the board whenever costs move, and daily specials by their nature rotate. Manitoba GST and PST are applied on top of the listed amounts.
