Benton Lee's Steak House

Family had never been here , but had heard it was a great place to eat. So we decided to celebrate my birthday at Benton Lee’s. After driving over an hour to get there we were all disappointed. Establishment was very outdated . Torn ragged booth seat covers with very sticky table tops. We all ordered steaks with different sides. Baked potatoes were cold and wrapped in foil that apparently was wrapped around potatoes just prior to being served.. My daughter in law ordered cheese on her potato . They stuffed a kraft single into the cold potato.. Salads came from a bag with maybe a pinch of shredded cheese on top served in a tiny styrofoam bowl and pre packaged salad dressing. Sour cream and butter were in pre packages. Butter was melted and not a good quality due to it contained a lot of water. Fries were plentiful and soggy. Steaks weren’t bad . Generic steak sauce tasted old , fermented , and soured. . Water and tea were self serve. Sodas were in a can and ice was self serve. Overly priced meal. We will not eat here again.

It was ok. I figured for the price we paid, there would have been real A1 and Heinz 57 on the table. Not the generic brands. The staff was friendly.

Horrible experience. Came here for mother in laws birthday and the food was cold. They gave us square cheese for a baked potato like it was mashed potatoes or something. Very dirty tables were so sticky. No AC in the bathroom. This place was just ew. Also super expensive for a hole in the wall place.

Could be a great place. Unfortunately they are really cheap with their food. For as much as you pay, you’d think they could afford to make a salad and not use old prepackaged lettuce and rolls. If you ever had greasy fries, it’s because they fry them, put them in a warmer, and when you order them, they fry them again to heat them up. Old greasy fries. The salads come straight out the bag on the paper plates. Rolls out the bag they don’t even warm them either butter… just really sad in general to see this place go to crap. It could be so much better if they took time and money to improve their food.

The food used to be really good, lots of food and awesome steaks. Unfortunately the last 2 times we came service was awful and the tables where sticky and the restaurant seemed run down in the inside. As a matter of fact we left the second time due to NO service and a nasty table

Face it! You didn’t drive down that long road for no ordinary steak. You came for the King Daddy of Flavor, Tenderness, and …. Marbled beef! I made sure to stop by and get my FIX even though it was not on my route! Leaving Baxley after a week of fixing hotel room phone jacks I was slap worn out. I was ready to get back to my own hometown, Milner GA. But…not until I got my RIBEYE! It was late, it was slow, it was quiet, it was perfect! I didn’t know I could refill my own tea!!! I loved my experience. Next time I’m arriving by boat! - Matt!, Solutions2 Low-Voltage.

I enjoy the atmosphere and the style of the place. Nice to be able to walk to the river and the kids enjoy the playground area. Service is just ok but I don't come for the service and I like getting my own drinks because I drink a lot of tea so the lack of service doesn't particulary bother me I just leave a smaller tip or none at all. As far as food its all very average except for the steaks which are very good. Last time I got a steak I got the biggest T-Bone called medium T-Bone. There was only one half, and no filet on my steak. just strip steak and a bone and nothing where the tender steak usually is. Wasn't happy about that. Steak is what this place has going for them I hope my next steak has the other half present or ill be forced to find a new steak house

Steak was good . Cooked just right. Med rare . We enjoyed it. Haven't been there in 20 yrs till the other day. Has changed somewhat but it was nice to go back.

Our waiter Justin was so great. We are a lot to handle and he was really patient and recommended some great food.

My dad and I went to dinner. Let me start with parking lot. There was trash and broken glass. Tables have epoxy coated pictures on them. Tablea werw sticky Took waitress about 15mins to acknowledge we needed to order. After taking order she disappeared and wasn't seen again except for bringing food to table We both ordered the seafood platter with catfish and fried shrimp. The catfish was soggy and tasted like water or freshly frozen. Very undercooked. My shrimp could've been fried a lil more but were par. Some of my dad's shrimp had a bad taste to them . The baked potato was hot and came with butter and sour cream in pre-packaged containers. Dad's slaw looked and tasted as if it was made earlier in the week. You serve yourself the drinks you want if you get tea or water otherwise it comes in a can from the back. Menu says came with a roll but it was really one big hushpuppy that was cold and undercooked in middle. The salt and pepper was in airplane wine bottles. .I will say the scene outside is pretty as it's on the river. Music was nice. Definitely not worth 80$. And when we paid them and told them how service was they said next time would be better. For that price Gordon Ramsey would need to revamp it for me to come back

The table has some sort of film on it that made it sticky and not clean
My husband's steak was way over cooked. My fried pork chops were extremely dry! Side items are fries and a choice of salad or slaw! Yea, that's it! My salad had brownish lettuce in it ( bagged salad mix with cheese)
Dining area and bathrooms were not clean.
Disappointed! Won't be back!
