Benbrook is not dry.  I was invited out to eat with a couple of friends at 3 Parrots, and one of them had a margarita.  Another friend of mine and I have eaten there while on a bike ride and he had a beer.

 

As for the Cheesecake Factory, it is not one of my favorite restaurants.  I have not eaten there very much, and I have never gone just for the cheesecake.

One that that was mentioned on your Now.Town FB post in the comments:  Benbrook is a dry city.  They'll never get a developer if the Cheesecake Factory can't serve a drink with dinner.


I don't think that's correct. I've been to Hoffbrau in Benbrook and it has a large bar, and even that Cracker Barrel serves beer and cocktails now.

I picked it up from one of the FB comments, but before posting I checked Wiki... which, granted, is not always right.  But it says, "In 1971, the residents of Benbrook chose to prohibit all alcohol sales, except for beer to be imbibed off-premises."  https://en.wikipedia...d_alcohol_sales

 

The city's website says, "The City of Benbrook issues the permit to sell beer and wine for off-premises consumption and the license to sell mixed beverages served in restaurants. The permit fee to sell beer and wine for off-premise consumption is $30 for one year.  http://www.ci.benbro...verage-Licenses

 

So... somewhere in between I guess?

It was just a joke.  I was picking Cheescake Factory.  That's all.

I think it was the two comments in a row that triggered me.  I started out thinking of a generic chain restaurant and realized most of them are in the Hulen/Bryant Irvin area already so they probably wouldn't want one on I-20 in Benbrook.  CF was the first one I thought of that didn't have a location "right there" already.
