Benny's On the Beach was originally founded in 1986 and for over thirty years has become a favorite among vacationers and locals alike. The owners are Lee Lipton, Max Lipton and Jeremy Hanlon envisioned a fun restaurant with amazing food for those on the pier and in the Palm Beach community. Jeremy Hanlon, once a Wall Street Financier, quit his previous job to follow his passion for the culinary by studying under renowned chef Charlie Trotter and Daniel Boulud. Hanlon eventually teamed up with Lee Lipton and his son Max Lipton to open Benny's.
