Benbrook Cafe

The place is a hole in the wall, they were very nice. It was packed with lots of people leaving so we found a table right away. The table was sticky and the place is not nice by any means. But not bad either.The eggs and tortillas were floating in oil, I did not like the huevos rancheros at all. My husband enjoyed his chicken fried steak. Like I said food was plenty and cheap but flavor not really. I would not go eat there again unless I'm in a budget. Food was plenty and super affordable.

We used to enjoy going here... until a roach ran across our table.... Won't be going back!!! The excuse was we just sprayed... well if that were true he wouldn't have been moving that fast!!!

it's awful! I went there for an early lunch/ late breakfast today. the food was pretty good. I also ordered to-go meals for my son and granddaughters, including a medium cooked sirloin and eggs for my son. we waited forever for the to-go order. when it finally came out, the waitress assured me everything was as we ordered. when we got to our son's home, he found that the sirloin was burned and tough as a boot! that's why the waitress didn't want me to check his order before we left the cafe. as stated above, it's awful! don't go there!

I am torn over Benbrook Café. I wanted so badly to fall in love, but it was just all right.It did not help they caused that the food took a very long time to get to our table, and they seem to be shortstaffed. It was definitely a community diner, type feel, and the food carried those same characteristics. Not much flavor to the meal, but the staff was sweet and genuine.

We stopped by this unassuming little cafe near Benbrook for pie and coffee. The cafe was bustling with customers, but the service was fast and friendly. We ordered two coffees, a slice of chocolate pie, a slice of coconut pie, and a basket of French fries. Both pies were delicious, and we never had to wait for a coffee refill. The fries were pretty soggy and greasy at the bottom of the basket, but that happens sometimes...especially in small town cafes.Looking around at what everyone else was eating made us want to come back and sample a few other items.

I'm rarely in this area, but really wanted breakfast. Unfortunately I missed the morning specials, by like 10 minutes or so (before 11). Breakfast served so day, though, but they have a board with all breakfast and lunch specials.I decided to get their Belgium waffle, over easy eggs, and for the meat, just choose bacon (can also get sausage links or sausage patties). It came with 2 eggs and 4 bacon strips.For starters, the waffle. It was very tasty and aside from hotels, never see the Texas shaped waffles (only in Texas, do we have waffles in the shape of the state lol). They gave me well more than enough syrup and butter for this. The bacon was crispy and flavorful, and the over easy eggs were actually done correctly (most places it's so runny, it's just slightly more than sunny side up.Also decided to order a slice of pie. It was very good, though if ever end up around here again, think would prefer their chocolate coconut one, since there might be a reason that's only one that was down to 1 slice. It actually tasted like they make it there, even the crust tasted homemade. It tasted very good, but unfortunately too rich for me to finish it, due to the peanut butter chips on top, as well as peanut butter inside. The cost for all of this amazing food? Barely over $11. I ordered it to go, so can't speak of the wait staff, though everyone I spoke to was very nice and I didn't feel rushed at all to place the order, and had plenty of time to look over their menu.

Well, I quit going here, because the food just wasn't good. I let my friends talk me into trying it again. I have to admit the food wasn't bad in the last 4 or 5 times I've gone. If they could get control of the insect problem so we don't have to eat with one hand and shoo flies with the other, and brush the to roaches off of the table, it would be ok, I guess, but the city of Fort Worth health department citations leads me to believe this is an ongoing issue. Check your silverware, edpeciay the forks. Honestly, I can't go there again. Just the thought of the filth turns my stomach.I hope y'all have a better experience

Update! It was in fact just a bad day! I had visited a week a go and the gravy was so over salted that it left everything on the plate inedible. I told the waitress today about it and she was shocked. She said that should be impossible because they use a mix. I said maybe it was my tastebuds. She didn't think so and brought me a condiment cup of it and she was right, I said someone must have spilled a whole shaker or jar of salt in the gravy pot. She said that had happened before and next time please tell them and they will fix it. The CFS was still tough and the beans under seasoned she told me they were working on the CFS and that it sounded like the new assistant cook forgot to stir a brand new pot of beans before ladling. I completely believe her. That said I don't think I will come for anything but breakfast.Kid and I tried it this morning. He had 2 pancakes, 2 bacon and 2 scrambled eggs. I had the Southern breakfast. 3 eggs over medium, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, sausage biscuit gravy and hash browns.I gave my son my bacon because he is a rapidly growing 11 year old. He thought it was the best bacon he had ever tasted. If you are like us and like chewy bacon it really was very very good. I would love to know their provider. His eggs were standard flat top hard scramble and mine were much closer to over easy than medium, but that was ok because the hash browns soaked the yolk up well. All in all the breakfast was extremely good ( on par with R&K in Weatherford, possibly better). Coffee was very good. I also got the iced tea ( unsweetened) and it was perfect. (Turns out Community brand tea and coffee are my favorites it seems!)To give you an idea of how much food we got. I am a fat guy. My son is an eating machine of a tween. We couldn't eat it all! Well done. From a place I only came back to because of a gifted Groupon to a new regular rotation slot in less than 10 days.

This diner gives you exactly what you want and expect: solid diner food at great prices. It's busy every time I go, but I always get takeout. I've tried the chicken fried steak, burger, and steak and eggs so far. Chicken fried steak was smothered in the white gravy. Burger is big and comes with a PILE of homemade fries. I wish they had some kind of special sauce for the burger, but this isn't that kind of place. Steak and eggs, I got the smallest steak option and it was HUGE plus eggs, homefries, and toast. Absolutely cannot beat it. I'm from NJ and missing my diners but this is a decent substitute here in Texas. Looking forward to trying more. FYI, vegetable sides from their menu board last time I was there: Mashed potatoes, green beans, pinto beans, cole slaw, potato salad, side salad, fried okra, corn, french fries, pea salad

A favorite breakfast spot in BenbrookHappy serve staff... even when they are short staffedGreat short order cooksA repeat... over and over
