“Ate here last Saturday, food was delicious! I had a smash burger and fries, and my family ordered a spicy Hawaiian pizza. The menu is unique and fairly priced. HIGHLY recommend stopping by. They were really busy, all tables were full. Were always considerate about how high paced you have too be working in the food industry, and that if you want awesome good quality food, it also comes with waiting for it! our waitress gave us a heads up about the wait. And the food was beyond worth it!! DEFINITELY will be back.“

“I love going to waffle houses especially when it’s after hours like anything after midnight because you never know what kind of weird stuff or weird people you’re gonna run into. I live in Benton But almost every time I’ve ever ate here is when I’ve been on a date with a certain girl because she loves the hash brown bowls as well as I. (Especially w/bacon) it seems like they want Benton is the closest and the only one open When we get these cravings, so off to Benton we go! The last time we come here which was just a few nights ago we were joking about an experience we had a time prior. Of course it was late then too. It was my dates first time eating at Benton location as we sit down we noticed a guy that was dressed a little different different than the regular workers and he was barking orders, and being rude to the workers and then it happened his eyes focused on my date. He was here, hustling our conversation about how cold it was in this establishment. He started offering her blankets and all kinds of stuff and just would not take his eyes off of her or would he move his attention anywhere else? When I look at me, he only focused on her and it got creepy really fast after she had even told him many times she was fine and ignoring him, he stood there and just kept watching her! It was one of our first dates about a year ago. I wanted to say something, but I did not want her to think I was some jealous a hole So I brushed it off. Afterwards we talked about it and I told her how I felt and how it angered me for him being so weird. She gave me permission to say something to weird people from then on out lol!
Now back to the present here, we are joking about this, pulling into the Benton establishment once again on another date, hoping this weirdo does not still work here and no other weirdos stare at her. Used to guys looking at her because she’s a beautiful woman and it’s flattering as long as they don’t just stare but anyway we go and sit down we noticed that the weird creepy manager is not there so that’s a good thing we ordered the same old food we always get it comes out great! Met a few interesting patrons passing through we’re guessing that they were pretty drunk after they wanted dabs and handshakes lol! Then it’s time to check out so I’m paying at the register while my date stands behind me and I noticed that the kind of crazy looking cook Is staring at me! Peek over a couple of times and he still kind of looking at my way, but I’m used to it because I got a couple of scars on me So I’m used to kids mainly and adults who have no brain cells left. We get out to the car and as we’re leaving, she’s explaining to me that he was staring at her, no matter how many times she looked away was leaned up against his cooking stove all Joe dirt style like he owns this establishment And he is God’s gift to women with all his Jailhouse, tattoos, and many many piercings! Lol we had a great laugh because when it comes down to it, what fun is it to go to a waffle House after midnight and not run into some weird creepy stuff I mean it goes hand-in-hand right that’s all part of the experience I think! Hope y’all enjoyed this. The Benton waffle house is great. The food is awesome. It’s just a little cold in there sometimes and some of the workers no matter where you go at any place like this you’re gonna find some real characters.“

“Food was prepared to order and came out hot. Ordered the fish basket. It has a good breaded coating that was not too salty and the fish was cooked just right. The order came with hush puppies, slaw and had the homemade chips as a side. Everything was good, but I would get the chips without salt next time. I also recommend the onion rings, the batter was cooked to a golden color and had a good crunch and flavor. Good view of the lake out of the floor to ceiling windows.“

“this place is just amazing all the way around. We just ate the best meal at the restaurant. I highly recommend the Mahi Mahi tacos. we were celebrating my little girls birthday and our amazing waitress Allie brought her the best dessert and had the gals sing to her. Allie was amazing and the dessert was scrumptious.“
