Restaurants near Benson

“Huge portions. Excellent home cooking. Nice big menu variety. We eat there as often as we can, always look forward to it. One of the best restaurants around for sure.”

“First time tried the pizza and it was excellent and macconi cheese was good thank you. Now I know where to go get pizza thank you. It was quiet too.”

“They are usually not open Mondays, but we're open for eclipse business. Lucky for us, since we were hunting for food on our way back from viewing the event. They do mostly versions of hand food. Hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken sandwich, etc. They also do a few meals. This day the meals were mac and cheese, and scallop potatoes with cubed ham. Two of us had the potatoes, the others had a hot dog and the other a cheeseburger. We all enjoyed our meal and enjoyed the staff and other customers, since we were all on an eclipse high. Next time I go to the Star Trek Set Museum, I will go back here again.”

“Really good beer, sandwiches and super staff. They make stouts, porters, pilsners and Scottish Ale and IPA.Not an IPA fan so I love the choices.Too many Vermont establishments are 80% IPAs..not for me. I love this place!”

“Dined at the Fair Haven in with my sister who was visiting from out of state and my husband. I have eaten at Fair Haven Inn many times, but tonight I wanted to write a review because the meal was just perfect. Everything was tasty, fresh, and beautifully presented. For a fine dining experience, it was excellent. As a restaurant owner myself, I know the effort it takes to put out great meals and to provide an enjoyable experience to customers. It's been hard for all restaurants to get through the past few years, and I commend the Fair Haven Inn for bouncing back from the pandemic and doing a great job. We'll be back and wish the Fair Haven Inn many years of future success.”

“Owners are very friendly. There are so many choices. The sizes are so generous. Love the variety of places to sit and relax. Beautifull view of the lake from the front porch of the inn.”

“CRock Nutrition is worth the drive! Their teas & shakes are top-notch, and the service is exceptional. The staff always go above and beyond, preparing plenty of dry teas for me to enjoy making at home to have for work for the week. What sets them apart is their willingness to accommodate my preferences, ensuring I get the flavors I love every time. Very happy customer!”

“The food quality and service were perfect per usual. They were a little steep on the prices, but I've never left there hungry, and I don't mind paying for all that combined. Highly recommend.”

“I stopped in for a quick cup of simple hot coffee and was not disappointed! Sat in the window seat for a while enjoying their salted vanilla caramel coffee brew working on some things I needed to get done. Not a ton of seating but if you get here early and get a spot its a great place! Parking on this street can be limited so I parked around the corner and walked less than a block.”

“Always friendly, fast and accommodating! Delicious teas and shakes!! Highly recommend especially for that midday pick me up!!”

“Overall: This is the best pizza in Ticonderoga, but the inconsistent cutting and lack of seating are drawbacks.Pizza: The pizza is excellent, but the slices are often cut poorly. The crust is generally thin and crispy, but it can vary in thickness and texture depending on the employee making it. On our first visit, a young man made our pizza and the crust was much thicker and fluffier than on subsequent visits, where two different young ladies made it. Every pizza we’ve had has been very good, but the inconsistency was surprising. The pizzas are large and the toppings are fresh and generous.Subs: I've ordered two subs from here, and both times they were huge, with tons of meat and fresh, crisp ingredients. The bread was also fresh and delicious. I highly recommend this place over other sub shops in the area, which give you half the sub for the same price.Service: The service is friendly and efficient; they can get overwhelmed at times with orders and will disconnect the phones. The average time from order to ready has been 20 minutes or less in our experience – we have visited 6 times so far. The staff consistently overestimate the wait times so don't be alarmed when they say 40 minutes, etc.Atmosphere: The atmosphere is clean and new, but the shop is small and has limited seating. Kitchen chatter can be heard throughout the shop, and on one occasion, a young man was cooking while talking on his cell phone and yelling profanity and sexual innuendos. This may not be suitable for families with young children. The kitchen area appears clean and well organized.Pricing: The prices are reasonable, and the portions are large.Additional notes:- They also offer a variety of other Italian dishes, such as pasta, sandwiches, and salads. I haven't tried any of them yet, but they look and smell good.- They offer delivery and takeout, with free delivery within Ticonderoga. House of Pizza has a much larger free delivery area.- They sometimes disconnect their phone when they get busy and behind on orders.Vegetarian options: Large menu selection with some customizability, I'm sure they can accommodate many vegetarian requests if asked.Dietary restrictions: Large menu selection with some customizability.Parking: Only street-side parking available, but there are approximately 10 large truck sized spaces on the street nearby.Kid-friendliness: See Atmosphere section of review, some staff were far from professional.Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible, 3 steep steps into building from steep sidewalk outside.”

“The perfect good ol fashion diner! Went for breakfast, food was GREAT! A very good cup of coffee! Waitress was engaging and friendly. Definitely want to go back for lunch or dinner. Was very easy to park and get seated.”

“My brother in law and I ate lunch here the other day. It was fairly busy there but we were able to seated and order our food and drinks quickly. He had a burger and I had a philly cheese steak both of which were very good. The food came in fairly quickly considering how busy it was. We enjoyed our ”

“I am a lover of carbohydrates! Bomo diner has the best texture and size pancakes of anywhere eve, no upcharge for maple syrup and the syrup tastes just like Greens. maybe it is IDK! Burgers are amazing and I'm THE pickiest burger eater! They don't turn you away at 1:40 to close at 2, we openly pray and don't feel discouraged, there is so much to say. We love it here. Try it out!”

“What a gem! I stop by every time I visit the area. They have carefully selected Vermont draft beers (had Lawson's Sip of Sunshine on this visit!), a very cool bar, awesome vibe, and great staff. Definitely check this place out.”

“Awesome atmosphere! Great waitresses!!”

“Amazing! Cool little spot next to the fairgrounds BUT Aug 20th is their last day at this location. They will be reopening down in Ticonderoga.The owner and head Brewer was super friendly and we really enjoyed hearing more about the brewery. We sampled a few different beers and they were all great. Hoping to be able to visit once they reopen their n Ticonderoga!”

“Exactly what we needed after a day of skiing. Had the Vermonter pizza which was so good. The maple garlic butter was unreal. Also had the Ladka burger which hit the spot so hard. Fried pickles were nice and crispy. Full rack of ribs and poutine to top it all off and we were very happy after an active day. There was also a guitarist playing that Friday night who really contributed to the fun. He came over and played next to us and stopped to chat before the night was over. Awesome small town vibes.”

“Stopped in on a Sunday and Wendy was at the bar. What a great person. We chatted with her ordered a large steak and cheese with fries to split and had a couple of beers. Jeffrey came in, a local. Wendy and Jeff knew a lot of the same people. A couple of guys in their early 20s came in, one was celebrating their birthday. Wendy remembered that they came in 3 years ago. A few more folks came in - everyone was chatting. It was better than Cheers! Wendy is a wonderful person - we were on our way to Woodstock VT and met all the people she told us about who owned shops there. Oh and the fries and steak sandwich were AWESOME - and so was the beer!”

“Simply put: A small town joint, with a clear passion for quality food and service. The home-made corned beef hash is dynamite. Looking forward to trying the sausage gravy and biscuits next time through.”

“Stopped in after visiting Fort Ticonderoga on a Sunday a couple of weeks ago on our anniversary trip through NY, VT and NH. So happy we did! Wendy was at the bar and felt like an old friend! She was so happy, fun, friendly - and knew everyone who came in. A couple of young kids came in and it was one's birthday - Wendy remembered they were there three years ago! Jeff came in and we had a blast talking with him and he and Wendy knew so many of the same people. A couple of other folks came in and everyone was chatting and watching football. It was better than Cheers! As we were heading to Vermont, Wendy gave us the names of a few relatives who own stores in Woodstock and we met Kit at one and some other folks at the others! Oh - the steak and cheese was amazing! Fries were great. Beer was cold. The pub was just the best - love it! Thank you, Wendy!! Sue and Dave”

“Never had the food because I wouldn't go there to eat. We go to drink beer and make friends with the yokels. We have a house down the street but mainly live in MA so we stop in when we are in town. "Cheers" vibes, pool table, clean and they have pull tabs which is the VT version of Keno. Never had a poor experience.”

“They get kinda busy so please know what you want to order before you call or set an appointment. The woman were not rude and were ready to help me with my order (did not know what ricotta was until they told me)The delivery was about 45 minutes to an hour so just go work out or some thing (relax) The delivery guys were cool and friendly I enjoyed the experience.Would recommend for group gatherings like football Sunda and all sports and see if they offer catering.House of PizzaBy the way food was not overly greasyCHICKEN QUESADILLA with a jalapeno BROCCOLI AND TOMATO slices PIZZA with RICOTTA sauce a new way to eat cheese and broccoli ,Chilli with CHEESE slight kick to warm you up,House PIZZA was a easy protein decision, GARLIC KNOTS were warm soft in the middle and crispy on the edges not too much sweet icing where it was slime and not too much cinnamon where they are dry,BAKED ZITTI on point I had to add the mushrooms came out legit not too much sauce where it was soup, noodles are perfectly cooked and they were no crunchy dry pasta, mushrooms just to wander my mouth hole with the flavors.(pause)The Salad I do believe had in house made vinaigrette dressingAll love, Thanks”

“Best BLT and I eat a lot of them. May sound strange but perfect ratio of BLT and mayo perfect toast ? Everyone else food was very good, and he’s a bit fussy ???”

“We have stopped to eat here over 5 times and each visit was spectacular. The food is fresh. The fries are amazing. The staff were attentive and friendly, even under pressure. People need to realize that this is a college town, and the staff get overwhelmed with students frequently. That said, they handle it extremely well and get food out very quickly. The place has always been clean and well stocked. Keep up the good work! ??”

“I grew up eating grinders from this place. Absolutely phenomenal quality with one of a kind homemade rolls made in house. Owners are so kind and the pizza, and pasta tastes like it's straight from Italy. I still make the 3 hour drive at least twice a month to get some food from this establishment. Good priced too. Highly highly recommend”

“This is a must stop place to get a sandwich. The owner is very friendly, I ordered a turkey sub, it was the best sub that I have ever had. The meat was very fresh, and it was well worth the money. I will be back.”

“My wife and I took a day trip to the area. We ate lunch here (my first visit). Awesome down home cooking , I enjoyed the chicken and biscuits special. Wow, so good, and we finished with strawberry shortcake. Our waitress was very welcoming and we enjoyed great conversation. Thanks again and look forward to visiting again!”

“Small town Chinese food. I wasn’t expecting much but it turned out to be fantastic. Great food. Big portions. I had curry chicken, shrimp lo mein, and two soups. Really good Chinese. Cash only, so bring greenbacks! Take away only. But friendly service and good food.”
