Benny's Cafe

This place has the best soup. I've only ever ordered to go here. First time was years ago on Thanksgiving when my niece needed something to eat prior to Thanksgiving dinner. They were open and saved the day. Now they have become my go to for soup when anyone is feeling under the weather. Their chicken dumpling is delicious. A bowl is filling and only $5. Makes for a great lunch. The staff is friendly and efficient. This is also my mom's go to place for breakfast with her friends. Definitely check them out!

Let's be honest here, ya walk right in and I thought I was at a nursing or group home luncheon because I hadn't seen more concentration of elderly individuals so if thats your vibe and you like that distinguished bathroom soap smell, this is the place for you!16$ for salmon platter, house salad and dessert wasn't a bad deal and didn't give me a stomach ache but nothing special and missing some flavor. The onion rings were horrific and should be taken off the menu! I wouldn't be coming back but I'm glad I didn't break the bank on this one.

We were greeted promptly and seated. The restaurant is very clean. It took awhile to be waited on. My order was cream of broccoli soup with a cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, fried onion and fries. She brought back a chicken dumpling soup which she quickly corrected. My husband ordered chicken dumpling soup, plain cheeseburger, fries and a side salad. The soups were delicious. Burgers were very dry and a bit undercooked. Fries were decent. I noticed a waitress with a full tray of food she was serving to a tableand her loose hairs were touching the food. Total bill was $28.59. When we paid the bill, the owner asked "how are you today?". Didn't ask about the food or the experience. Will never go back.

I like to eat here. This place has the best nicest staff. The food usually takes between 10-15 minutes depending on how many people are with you and usually check up on you for drink refills, opinions on the food, and cleaning up of the table. Inside is pretty calm and chill. There is a bar for people who like bars. But for people who just like to eat the normal part is fine for you. One thing I do not like is the price because it is a little expensive for some people but it is cheap. The price is depending on what you order. I would highly recommend this place for breakfast or lunch. People need to try this if in the area!

So the other day I had a Ruben and my fiancé had the fish fry and both of our meals were way over cooked corn beef is not supposed to be beef jerky nor is fish supposed to be like a hockey puck I could've thrown her pieces of fish like a ninja star at everyone's heads and killed every single one in the restaurant if I'd of wanted to by the time we thought about anything that we were already halfway through our meal so it made no sense to ask for the food to be redone we normally don't have this problem with Benny's so we really don't understand why the food was so bad Getting one meal bad was one thing but both of our meals at the same time? Sorry about this But I think you need new Cook's

Before arriving to Benny's Cafe I was excited, I had never been here but I know some family members that always come here. I read some of the reviews and was very much looking forward to enjoying the friendly staff everyone seems to love. My party was a group of 8 people and we had called ahead of time to make a reservation for noon. We were all there at noon and quickly enough we were asked what we'd like to drink. In my party there were a few special drinks and a few sodas. After a few minutes all the specialty drinks arrived but there was no trace of our sodas. You'd think a Mountain Dew would be fairly easy to get. I did not get my drink until about 12:30. The waitress however didnt' ask us what we'd like to order to eat yet. We figured she wasn't ready yet and would come right back. We did not see our Waitress until about 1PM. At which point I was already fairly upset. If they didn't want to take care of us, they should have just told us, we could have found some other place to go to. It simply shouldn't take 1 hour for someone to take our order. The place wasn't even busy, most tables were empty. At around 1:10 I did get the soup that would go with my food. I was happy to see that the food was at least coming out faster. The bread for the soup however was not a good experience. Felt like bread that had been made a few days ago. The soup itself, lots of flavor but too much salt. I love salt, a lot, so I did drink the cup but even I thought it was a bit too much. Some of the people in my table had salads, some got the wrong dressing, not going to complain about that because it's a simple error, easy to fix. One member did feel like the salad was too wet, adding the dressing looked like dressing soup. By 1:30 I was starting to get upset again because we had not seen our waitress. We could see her working the front of the house but she would never come over to check on us and we had not seen our food yet. However, soon enough the food did finally arrive. Personally I went with the Chicken Alfredo. If I was to rate their Chicken Alfredo alone, I would say they get a 2.5 out of 5. It was nothing special, certainly not the worst I've had, but not a whole lot of flavor to it. I asked for Parm cheese to see if that would help but the parm didn't really add any flavor to it. By 2PM we had all been waiting for a while again without having our waitress come over to check on us. Some of us had been ready for dessert. The place at this point had been the emptiest I had seen it during our visit. I decided it was time to ask the manager what was going on. I went to speak with the manager and explained how we had been there since 12PM and it was now 2PM, we had been waiting a lot without anyone checking on us. He apologized and simply said that they were short staffed. You'd think if they are short staffed they'd try to focus more on the table with the most paying customers. He did promise to send our waitress over. By 2:15 we were finally done with our desserts and ready to go. I'm not sure if the is the type of place where you have to go up front to get your check but we decided we would just go up front because we were not about to wait for it. The waitress herself, she was very nice WHEN we would talk to her, but she was just missing, a LOT. The manager, I was not too impressed with his response, he seemed to think that just saying "we're short staffed" should fix the problem. I wasn't trying to get anything for free here, but just seemed like he didn't really think that the fact that we had been here for 2 hours was that big a deal. The food was pretty bleh, not bad, not good, just ok.

Their breakfasts are good. If you carry out they add charges that they don't tell you about. If you charge the add a fee but don't tell you if you pay cash you will avoid a fee and they also add a carry out charge so the food you order gets expensive. I now pay cash to avoid one of the fees but I think it's bad they don't tell you cash won't add at least one of their fees.

Called to place a pick up order, and the woman who answered spent the least amount of time on the phone with me, that she possibly could. Was told "pick up order at window", spent some time deciding if I go to the drive thru lane, that was showing closed.. so I went inside and didn't see a "pick up" counter either. Long story short... beyond the service, or lack of... I ordered a half chicken with mashed potatoes/gravy, and I picked the soup for a starter, and then I got what they called 'mixed seasonal veggies'. Unfortunately I cannot scream "how sad, gross, and disappointing" this meal was, loud enough.

I was at Benny's on this past Mother's Day. It seems like Everytime I go in there, Owner "Drillon" stares me down. I spoke to a co owner at one time and he said he would talk to him. The food is great. The wait staff are way more welcoming and professional than he is. I would go back there if he would grow up and stop making me so uncomfortable. It's a shame really. Thanks for nothing Drillon!!!

Eggs were dry and small portion. Hash browns were undercooked. Friendly service but wouldn't go back.
