I'm redoing the Katy Freeway page and one of the things that needs to be covered is the locations of Chili's and Bennigan's. I do not have any pictures of my own but the former Bennigan's (originally built in 1985 as #5451) can be seen at this page.
Anyway, Bennigan's originally opened at 1030 West Belt Drive North (1030 W. Sam Houston Pkwy. N.) with Chili's joining in 1992 at 1040 W. Sam Houston Parkway North, as it was known by then. For a period of over ten years the restaurants co-existed before Bennigan's closed in 2004 and torn down in 2005 (the rest of the Houston Bennigan's closed a few years after that). Chili's hung for a number of years afterward, but closed in 2014.
Houston-based Niko Niko's opened in 2016 and while the website has a dedicated page and paragraph for the "history" of that location it doesn't even tell when it was opened.
