A great down home atmosphere - where the waitresses don’t rush you and they help each other’s tables - Had an three-egg meat lovers omelette - plenty to eat with hash browns and a biscuit (very fluffy and delicious) definitely a hidden gem -

I've been here multiple times for breakfast and have tried many things. The service is always SUPER friendly (thanks Mary) and the food comes out hot and fresh so quickly. I haven't had anything from here that I don't like. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for great breakfast!

There goes my diet. The food is AMAZING! and the servers are funny and kind. They were very busy and rightfully so. The french toast and perfectly soft scrambled eggs with a fruit bowl blew my mind. Fresh and tasty. My kid ordered a ham and cheese omelet with hash and toast, which looked delicious too!

Checked out this "local gem" and left thoroughly disappointed. We arrived early for breakfast (7am) on 4/22. The host took our order and the food wasn't ready even by 8am. We had to leave and asked they make it "To-Go". On returning home, one of the orders was totally wrong. Instead of Chicken Fried Chicken, they gave us Chicken Fried Steak. We called up the host, who offered to refund the wrong order. We never got our money back. Will keep away from this shady business.

First time I visited, I ordered a cheeseburger and fries to go. Cheeseburger was great, cooked properly with a nice slice of cheddar cheese. The second time I visited, I ordered two cheeseburgers and fries to go. One was burnt and one was raw. the buns on both were burnt till they were blackened on the tops, and the cheese was a few sprinkles of shredded cheese. If you're going to operate a restaurant, you need to learn how to cook. Maybe they were having an off day, but I'll never know, because I will never return. Being charged $20. for something the cook knows is going in the garbage can, is the same as being robbed.

Good prices and good selection. Food is just right on the taste. Coming back for "The athlete" and those delicious pancakes!

So disappointed at our Benny's experience today! We've been here many times, most experiences were good, but today very much was not. The restaurant was crowded, no big deal, we expect that getting weekend brunch, but tables were getting sat before us who came in after. In addition, once we were sat, tables sat after us were getting their food before us. Add to that, waiters would refill coffee and water for their sections only, walking right past tables needing drink refills over and over again. A huge no-no! It took 45 minutes for our food to come out. The pancakes didn't come out with syrup, and one of our breakfasts didn't come out with the toast. My wife ordered the Steak and Eggs, a ribeye, medium rare. It came out well done. We sent it back (something I never do, but we were super frustrated) and steak number 2 was also well done! Sent it back AGAIN and the third came out cooked ok, but it was a very stringy and chewy cut of meat. Although the third steak was hot, the eggs and potatoes were cold, meaning they gave her a fresh steak but the rest of the plate stayed waiting and getting cold. My wife barely got through half of it before giving up. After speaking to the very polite and apologetic manager, she said she'd take care of the steak, but ultimately only took off half price on that dish. Actually took $7 off of a $15.99 breakfast that wasn't eaten. I have nearly 20 years experience in the restaurant business and the right move after ALL of the issues would have been to at least take off 1/2 of the entire bill. I would have given this a single star, but bumped it up to a two because of the partial discount. Sadly, this will be our last trip to Benny's.

Literally leaving this place NOW!!! Never even offered us water. They seated us immediately but never came back. They seated two tables after us and served them. To me what was really interested we were the ONLY Black couple in the place. Hmmmm makes you wonder why we weren't served?

Great service and amazing food I got the skillet and it was so good but the pancakes are a lil dry but overall it was good

French Toast was delicious! The price is worth it (about $10).It came with 3 and was very filling. I added the Nutella!

Wanted to love this place but it was the biggest disappointment ever. My sweet tea tasted horrible and they didn't even put the lid on correctly causing it to spill all over me.. (should've known from there.) and the chicken friend chicken had SO MUCH PEPPER ON IT! Wasn't even edible it was disgusting. Pancakes tasted like McDonald's pancakes (and they forgot an extra set of pancakes I bought) plus the whipped butter they provided was literally liquid. The breakfast just tasted old all around. Do not come here

My husband & I are in the fitness industry & we have went to benny's literally once a week for several months to enjoy our weekly "brunch cheat meal". It used to be amazing. So much that we have several other couples go there as well. However, the last few weeks it's been overall terrible. We've given grace each time due to understanding the recent struggles of being understaffed, etc. everywhere. But yesterday was my husbands birthday. He wanted to go to brunch to start our birthday celebrations. We also had our two little girls with us this time. The wait was abnormally long, but there were most definitely not any busier than usual for a weekend. Our waiter was fairly new, again, we are there very frequent so know who's new and not. repeated our orders several times and literally took forever to get our food. Finally got it and had to send back my husbands burrito because it literally looked old and falling apart, plus cold. Once daughters meal was entirely wrong. She ordered a plain cheese quesadilla and received a quesadilla packed full of onions, chicken, etc. Sent it back and they finally returned it but forgot the rest of it. My husband finally got his new order because he thought playing it safe this time with the standard it would be fine. He got his eggs and bacon, but his pancakes literally never came. My food was correct, but sadly tasted like it was 4 days old and cold. Never came back to even refill our drinks. Eventually my husband was just ready to go. We told the waiter when he brought the check and he did take off like $2 but that was it. They acted like no big deal. I still left a decent tip but honestly immediately regret it as soon as we left. It bothered me so bad that there was zero effort with the customer service, no management even bothered to say a thing either. I called after we left and spoke with a waitress, Alicia. Now, I explained everything to her, this was nothing to do with her as it wasn't her table..from the beginning she showed FAR more empathy than our own waiter or the owners. They told her that they'd refund 20% of my total but that's all. I was mindblown. EVERY SINGLE ONE of us 4 customers left frustrated, still hungry and felt ignored. Yet they were too stingy to refund our money for that poor service. Now, I can't rave enough about Alicia. She repeatedly apologized on bealf of the entire staff and the owners lack of empathy or concern shown. She's also waited on us in the past and I made sure to tell her that we appreciated her, and she was always awesome. I just think it's so sad that an employee showed FAR more concern, etc. than the owners. My husband was so disappointed that he specified we will find a different place now. They will most likely also lose several other customers now because of their lack of even trying to make it right. They wouldn't even get on the phone with me. Apparently, per the other recent reviews these are new owners and it speaks volumes already. Our bodybuilding friends will most likely agree and not want to waste their weekly cheat meal there anymore as well.
