Benny’s Cocktails & Grill in Phuket is a Western-style restaurant with a clear focus on steaks and A5 wagyu. The team knows how to cook beef properly: the ribeye comes out juicy with a well-developed crust, while the wagyu is tender, rich, and genuinely melt-in-your-mouth. Beyond steaks, the menu has several standout choices, including brisket, tuna tartare, and charcoal-grilled shrimp. For a full dinner, steak sets such as the “Check Two Steak” are an easy pick — especially with their truffle mushroom sauce on the side.
Another major highlight is the cocktail program and wine list. You’ll find signature creations like the Tiramisu cocktail, along with bright, refreshing fruit-based drinks featuring lychee. Pairing wine with the meat is straightforward, and labels such as Rioja Gran Reserva do appear on the list. Presentation and service feel polished and professional: attentive table service, neat plating, and spotless glassware.
Inside, the vibe is warm and relaxed, with jazz and pleasant background music that suits both a date night and a family dinner. Wednesdays feature a steak & jazz night. For dessert, the vanilla crème brûlée is a great choice (sometimes finished with an eye-catching flambé with rum), as is the baked cheesecake.
One small note: it’s worth confirming the sides that come with specific steaks when you order — some dishes may arrive without the usual extras.
