Benjamin's Family Dining

We stopped in here on our way from Illinois back home to Kokomo based on the Yelp reviews. We're so glad we did! We had the catfish and the spaghetti. Our food was delicious and the portions were generous. We both took leftovers home and they were enough for another meal. Our server was very personable and helpful. If we pass through the area again we will definitely make it a point to eat here again!

What a great place! Hubby and I are on our way home from Peoria, IL (more reviews on that later) and we made a snap decision to stop and grab some breakfast! Hopped on Yelp and what do you know - Benjamin's popped right up. Easy drive off I-74, headed in and was surprised to see there weren't more people dining considering the cars in the parking lot. All the staff was near the kitchen and after being "checked out", we were seated after being asked if a table was ok, which it was.Our waitress came over, we ordered our waters, then looked over the menus - skillets, omelettes, French toast, pancakes, sausage, bacon all your typical breakfast fare was there.The skillets and omelettes all sounded so good! The better half decided on the Hawaiian omelette and I, the Italian. All omelettes come with hashbrowns and your choice of toast with butter and jelly. I asked for homefries and wheat toast and the better half asked for a half order (2 slices) of the French toast. No problem at all! Within 15 minutes, we were digging in. Huge omelettes filled with gooey cheese, homefries that were cooked just right (though they could have used a little more seasoning) and perfect French toast (hubby thought it needed cinnamon but I thought it was fine as it was!).Loved the vibe of the place, kinda like Mel's diner minus Mel. Everyone chatting, catching up on the neighborhood gossip, you can tell this is the gathering spot. It was fairly clean, food was good, prices were excellent......and I saw the fried chicken!! Next time Benjamin's, next time!!

Not a fan...the mashed potato's taste like generic from a box, no seasoning on any food and under fried catfish. Great for the elderly crowd who can't handle salt or seasoning, or have no teeth. The service is great though!!!!!

Always fast, hot, & plentiful! Wide variety menu choices. I love the Turkey club with fries, but usually get a side of fried pickles too!

Service was amazing! And food was delicious. Stopped in for lunch on a Thursday. We were passing through. Wish we had a reason to get back to Covington so we could stop back in!

The menu selection was great! The quality of food was A+ and the service was prompt and friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant for a wonderful home cooked meal!

The menu is as thick as the World Book for Q-R-P. Lita of choices. Good at many things, but not great at any. Everyone in your group can find something to their liking.

The food is always delicious and u get plenty of food for the price of the meal. The service is very good always checking to see if you need anything. Love both the Benjamins in Rockville, Indiana as in Covington,Indiana. All time favorite is Rockville, Indiana just because they sweet tater fries.. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very nice lots of tables it's a very busy restaurant.

Was heading to Beef House and they were unfortunately closed. Found this GEM and decided to give it a try and SO GLAD we did!Great atmosphere, great value and the best waitstaff. My wife loved the catfish, the Creamy chicken soup was amazing and my daughter loved the spaghetti.My daughter spilled her water and the wait staff all chipped in to clean it up and get it handled quickly and with smiles on their faces. A waitress (that wasn't even ours) came over and was showing my girl a trick for drawing flowers. So cool that she did that when she didn't need to. She even gave her the advice, "If you ever want to do something in life, just try!"Would highly recommend giving this local, family-owned restaurant a try if you're passing through like we were.

Great waitress, good food, big servings and the bathrooms were immaculate. We'll put it in the road atlas for a future return visit.
