Benny’s was founded in 1986 and has become a popular local surfside dining landmark on the historical Lake Worth Beach Pier, with the most splendid views of the ocean. Owners Lee Lipton, Chef Jeremy Hanlon and Dylan Lipton have created a phenomenal restaurant offering incredibly fresh and flavorful food, refreshing cocktails and family friendly service for all of our guests, located directly over the ocean.
The crowd-favorite eatery offers a variety of appetizing American and seafood cuisine, all fresh and made to order. We offer a fun and innovative menu for all to enjoy. Chef Hanlon focuses on casual comfort, yet an oceanside fresh approach to the great tasting food with quality ingredients. The menu is always evolving, because Hanlon wants to always incorporate new creations inspired by his extensive travel around the world. A unique and original list is created so that there is something for everyone’s taste. Pair it with one of our signature cocktails, an ice-cold craft beer or a crisp wine, you won’t want to leave! We begin our morning daily at 7am offering our “Best Breakfast in Florida” (Mashed.com), as well as our delicious lunch creations and Chef inspired seafood dishes during dinner service. According to USA TODAY, “ it’s easy to be completely immersed in the nautical vibes”.
Benny’s on the Beach has become famous for our Seafood Bakes Monday-Friday featuring whole lobsters, snow crab and some of the freshest Atlantic Coast fish selections. Chef Hanlon also prepares his memorable Paella Saturday and Sunday nights, inspired by his time spent cooking in Spain. All of the authentic ingredients are imported from Spain, including the rare Bomba rice used in the preparation of our Paella.
Hanlon was once a Wall Street financier but decided to follow his passion in the culinary virtuosities. Hanlon went on to train under renowned chefs Charlie Trotter and Daniel Boulud whilst traveling around the world working at 3 star Michelin restaurants. His creations have been featured on Food Network multiple times, as well as A&E, Lifetime, and HGTV.
