Benjamin's the Burger Master

I had read about this place and I don't get up to Dayton a lot, but I had to try it. The menu looked impressive and vast and I loved the Kitschy name. I believe the building is an old Roy Roger's . Bathroom is on the outside of the building . The interior is of the TGI Fridays school of design with various old timey items arranged to give some visual appeal. The place seem clean and well kept. If you are expecting cloth napkins, you might be an idiot and maybe you should go somewhere else. My Girl and I both had the 2 piece chicken and I had to try the Beef Bbq. The chicken was perfectly fried and delicious( get some extra salt and pepper if you are that guy though) I enjoy the hot cause as well. Ten cents extra. Treat yourself! The sides are meh. Just fine, but nothing life altering. The beef bbq was not what I was expecting! It's not shredded beef but hamburger. Think sloppy Joe with some jerk sauce. Surprisingly, I like it fine. I'll probably order it next time too because it's unlike anything I've ever had anywhere else. Service was professional and polite enough. Again, if you were expecting big fake smiles and fake excitement and being so lucky to have you present, stay home , ok. Better than the fast food service in my hood, for real. Give it a shot. It's a local flavor , a bit of Americana, and a successful black owned businesss.

This place has the BEST burgers. I always get a cheeseburger with everything and fries for less than $10. It's super busy though so call ahead and order if you're in a time crunch. Only complaint is the employees can be rude and they don't always answer the phone to take to go orders. Gotta check this place out the food is worth the trip downtown.

Simple but good. Burgers were great. Chicken was delicious. Cole slaw side was small. Mashed potatoes were good. Staff was great. Easy parking. Food came out quick.

I hope you get a chance to try the homemade burger soon. I'm confident that once you do, you'll agree that it's the best burger you've ever tasted.

This is a neighborhood locally owned establishment. Pretty straightforward place, chicken, ribs and burgers. Cash only. I believe this was a former burger king, it has a kitschy country interior atmosphere that works. The kitchen is open for viewing and was extremely clean on my visit. Food was good, but not great, however It's a good value for the price! I only had a smash burger but was satisfied. I regret not getting the fried okra. Service was fine and I have no complaints. If you're a rude MO-FO i would imagine you're gonna get that in return. Full disclosure in regards to cleanliness, I've been in the food business 20+ years, owed a food truck before they were popular. Servsafe certified, etc. Long story short upon my visit the kitchen appeared well run and clean. I observed the flat top cook cleaning/scraping the grill after almost every item served on a busy lunch. I would positively recommend this place as a local burger place and would go out of my way to eat at if I visit the Dayton area again.

Must've Changed the chicken recipe. It doesn't taste the same at all. It was honestly the worst chicken I've had in a while. It was soggy and practically flavorless. They also are always having some issues causing lobby to be closed which is a major inconvenience next to them only accepting cash!

Great spot! Incredibly affordable prices for really delicious food, with decent portions and lots of flavor. The chicken is great, the burger is BANGIN, the beans potatoes etc are good. But best of all - the peach cobbler is INCREDIBLE. Just astoundingly good. The only drawback of going here is that you never know when they'll have the cobbler and I've made a few trips for nothing because I only wanted that. But it's a small quibble. The staff are all nice and best of all, for me, as someone immune-compromised - many of the staff still wear masks!

I normally don't eat ribs but babyyy it tasted amazing and the sauce was so good not the bbq but the one that looked close to it. I never had ribs that was easy getting meat off the bone and juicy. Mash potatoes good, I do like my greens with turkey juices/leg meat with it but everyone makes it different I put hot sauce on mine it was good. The service was great employees helped me I had no problems. The inside was clean and gave me an old country vibe I liked it a lot.

I had stopped eating there because of poor service! They don't answer the phone for call in orders, the drive thru is closed, and customer service is often horrible.I was there Monday and ordered a bacon cheeseburger no tomatoes add ketchup got it home tomatoes were on there and no ketchupToday I go I order the same thing and got the same results I'm done doing businesses that have poor customer service

My biggest complaint with this restaurant is they do not answer the phone. I've called repeatedly and phone is either busy, or they answer and hang up or no one answers at all. Today I wanted to place a $200-300 catering order and no one answered the phone!!!!!! I give up, I shouldn't have to come in to place a catering order. This is not McDonalds and historically someone always answered the phone at this restaurant. Today, they do not and I encourage the mgmt to step up their customer service and answer the phone!!! I promise you are losing business by failing to provide basic customer service to your customers.
