ABOUT BENNETT'S RESTAURANTS
KICK BACK AND ENJOY THE CONVIVIAL HOSPITALITY
Bennett Hospitality Group, founded by partners Brian Bennett and his wife, Susan Bennett, opened its first location, Bennett’s Kitchen Bar Market in Roseville, California in 2019. The quick casual concept with a unique market of handmade grab and go items, quickly became a local favorite, leading to the opening of a second location, Bennett’s American Cooking in Sacramento in 2021. The success of these two restaurants solidified the Bennett’s reputation as top restaurateurs in the Sacramento area. With the opening of a third location in 2023, Bennett’s Westside Grill in Rocklin, customers can now enjoy the same high-quality food and exceptional service that Bennett’s is known for in another convenient location.

Bennett's Kitchen Bar Market Idea
Brian Bennett took a year off before working with his wife, Susan, on a vision for a new restaurant. They wanted a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere where friends could gather and eat delicious food with great wine. The Bennett's carefully curated a menu to include all the foods they love to eat, including foods Susan liked, which were gluten-free and vegetarian. They aimed to created a warm and welcoming environment where guest would feel at home. Bennett's Kitchen Bar Market opened in Roseville, California in 2019
2020
When Life Gives You Lemons
The COVID pandemic disrupted many lives and businesses, including the Bennett family. The Bennett's daughter, Margaux, was studying wine and viticulture at Cal Poly when the school shut down. She came home and started working in the restaurant with her parents. The Bennett's had to lay off all their employees, and the family cranked out to-go orders offered curbside to remain in business. However, in response to the shutdown, Susan Bennett developed thirteen different family meal options to feed four that were delicious and affordable, making it easier for families who didn't cook to enjoy a quality meal during the shutdown.
2021
Bennett's American Cooking
Inspired by a friend's love for a salad no longer available at the former Banderas restaurant, the Bennett family toured the Sacramento location and knew it was the perfect spot to expand. They opened Bennett's American Cooking and Susan recreated the "Missing In Action" salad with locally sourced ingredients and the MIA Salad has quickly become a favorite among regulars.
2023
Bennett's Westside Grill Opening
Brian and Susan Bennett take over a vacated Chevy's Fresh Mex restaurant in Rocklin, California, transforming it into Bennett's Westside Grill, featuring a live fire grill over mesquite wood, the most extensive bar in the region, and private dining gathering spaces for 12 to 75 people. The Bennett's were thrilled to bring their passion for food and hospitality to the beautiful city where they lived and raised their daughter for 25 years.
