Benton Lee's Steak House

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!

By far the best steak I’ve had in a long time. We have always enjoyed the food at Benton Lee’s but it was so much better this time. Whoever the cook is now is definitely a keeper. The service was fast and so good. We will be back very soon.

Great service and excellent food! We ordered frog legs, gator bites, and sirloins. The steak was one of the best I've ever had.

Been going there for 16 or 17 on new years went with a group yesterday for our annual new years ride there were 12 of us I was 5 th one in our group to order we were some of first to show when they opened so weren’t that busy 1.5 hours later and after asking about my food I was only one at our table to not get my food after everyone at our table finished and was paying out they finally showed up at our table with my food by then I didn’t even want it and told them so. Very disappointed not sure I’ll ever make that trip again. To make matters worse all I ordered was a hamburger steak four others at our table got theirs then I had to go up and pay for my wife meal when I had nothing!!!!!!!!!!😡

Well if we could give no stars we would!! Drove an hour to find even though hours say open aaaaa nope closed up tight!! Guess after reading other bad reviews that saved me some money!! I know from a past visit my steak didn't get cooked right & was told you will eat it or you will leave it plus paid for it. Again think today was a blessing so I wouldn't be disappointed!! Hope this helps your planned visit.

The quality of food didn't match the price. Off brand steak sauce and salad dressing. Steak and shrimp had a decent taste. Fries were a little soggy.

Unleashed Dogs on the porch
Grab a menu and seat yourselves eventually someone will take your order. Don't wait the drinks are do it yourself, grab a Styrofoam cup and get some tea. While you wait there is time to observe the thick layer of dust on the pictures and knick knacks and if your lucky you'll see the spiders. Webs are abundant.
If you don't want French fries you can pay $3.50 and get a small baked potato instead. Fyi They do not season them, instead they wrap them in foil that they don't bother removing before cutting open the potato and pieces of foil cling to it
Bring a very sharp knife because the steak is tough. Our arms were tired from trying to saw through them with the knives provided.
If you give up on eating your steak and decide to take it home, the dogs making this their home will beg you for it, all the way to your car.

First impression…nasty place…sticky tables ripped cushions on booths no appetizer choices …you fix your own tea and water… they charge $2 to use a plate of theirs to share food that you paid for…and with the prices you would think they would use a pressure washer to clean the outside windows every few months looked lit it had not been done in years as well as inside windows had greasy hand prints all over inside windows…with the view of the river that should be a priority will never go again or recommend it to anyone and the food was sad over fried in burnt nasty grease
