17 Best American Restaurants in Benton

“Literally the best food, environment and staff ever. Amazing 🤩 give it a try you won’t be sorry!“

“Even with pouring down rain, our experience was exceptional. The burgers and fries were excellent and our shakes were made-to-order delicious! We ate under the overhang at the picnic table and enjoyed every mintue of every crumb!“

“Great service. Food was as expected of an old-school diner; good food and good prices. Terrific experience all around with seating indoors or out.“

“On their website it says CURB SIDE PICKUP AVAILABLE. So, I recently had foot surgery and called to place my order and was told they wouldn’t bring it out to the car. ???. WOW. Thanks a LOT“

“We were looking for a fish supper when travelling home on the M3 and were nearly put off by the bad reviews. Although the staff were not very cheery, our fish and chips were fine, and good value for money. A convenient place to stop as there is parking outside and it is not too big a diversion from the M3“

“We just had a regular hamburger, onion rings, hamburger with bacon, and chocolate shake. This is no doubt like the burgers I grew up on at a local diner. Grilled buns, browned hamburger meat on griddle, not too thick or too thin, chopped red onions etc. , and a burger you can bite in to. Most places either have a thin tasteless piece of meat or way too thick. To me it was perfection 100% and so were the huge onion rings. Chocolate shake the best as well. If you want a burger from the past when burgers were cooked from fresh and perfectly browned, here is your stop. Thank you for a perfect retro burger meal.“

“Waitress was not attentive I think overwhelmed due to church groups coming in so we were forgotten. Our steaks were not correct mine was burnt and his was not cooked and tasted old. Not our 1st visit or our last just Sunday lunch this time was awful experience 😞“

“Best breakfast in town! Fried taters! Y’all check em’ out!!“

“It was a great dinner and fast service!“

“Just had another delicious breakfast. The service is even better than the food. April Upton is our favorite waitress and one of the main reasons we frequent Dan’s. If she ever chose to leave Dan’s we would follow her to her new place. Hope this never happens. April, Lexi, and Tammy are what make Dan’s a great place to visit.“

“I occasionally go to our Benton WH, so I couldn’t sleep tonight and went there at 4:00 am. The waitress was very nice and the cook was great. Everything came to the table hot and as expected. Highly recommend!“

“It was very unique, clean, and fun. The kids were so thrilled with the trains. The staff was excellent. 10/10 recommend!!“

“It was such a wonderful time! We went last Sunday, Ive never had service so great! Especially from the purple haired manager, she was outstanding. A good sight to look at too, she's got a pretty face and a nice rack but then she turns around and you get to see her mighty nice rear! Made my womanly heart flutter! Will come again!“

“My wife and I tried this restaurant because it was so close to our home. Trying to find the entrance is a little challenging. To many doors and not enough signage.
The restaurant. Atmosphere and service were outstanding. The food is very delicious. The 2 star rating is not for the quality, but for quantity. Spending what we did, a person shouldn’t have to walk away still wanting more. For less money we could have gone to Firehouse subs or What a burger. Very disappointing.“

“Rib Crib is my new most favorite BBQ place of Any state. Located in Benton, AK on the Eastbound side of I-30 you might miss it but it’s worth backtracking to get yourself Here- where the giant St Louis rib plate has off the bone tenderness via a rub or a sticky Okie sauce.

The table choices of extra BBQ for slathering are a mild Okie barbecue sauce, a truly medium heat but Excellent spicy barbecue sauce, and a hard to beat Carolina vinegary mustard sauce you won’t find much like it for the next 400 miles.

If you see the Buck-ee’s signs suggesting you “Hold It” for 530 miles and then the signs later for holding it for just another 480 miles or so you are ready to start mapping your way to the Rib Crib.

Baby back ribs, pulled pork, smoked chicken, sausage, sides aplenty and new Fried pies in Peach, Apple, and Blackberry.

Five Stars isn’t enough considering they were open when the Steak House wasn’t anymore due to ice.

The staff is warm and helpful and the kitchen staff were busy with a large group but I got my food before I was done washing the road off my hands.

****** 6 stars

I drove from Dallas to Burlington NC on this trip and I’m stopping here on the way back.“

“We stayed in the hotel right behind the place. After a couple of phone calls I finally got through to ask if they were pet friendly on their outside area. It would be nice if that information was posted somewhere. When we got there. The wife went in to let them know we were going to sit on the patio. The gate to get on the patio had a sign that read Alarm will sound if pressed (we found out it doesn't). After sitting for a while she had to go back in to see if someone was coming. Might have been a confusion of who was taking care of outside. Once that was sorted it was ok......On another note..... What has BWW done to the Spicy Garlic Sauce? It looks and tastes just like the Buffalo Sauce. This isn't the first BWW we experienced this. It used to be one of our go to sauces, but not anymore.“

“We just had a wonderful experience from the moment we walked in the doors! We’re visiting from Indiana. Our waitress was so so kind. I only wish she wore a name tag tho I guess I could’ve asked. The food was absolutely delicious, hot, and prompt! I wish we had a great ihop like this where we live.“
