10 Best American Restaurants near North Bennington

“Every time I come to Pangea I have such an amazing experience! The food is always so delicious and the staff are so accommodating with vegan/dietary restrictions, not to mention so kind and considerate in general. Always going to want to come here for dinner & I can't wait for the patio to open in the warmer weather too.“

“The service was absolutely wonderful. You're able to seat yourself. The waitress was wonderful and very pleasant. Our food had no time at all. It came out. There was nice spacing between the French onion soup that we ordered and the two sandwiches we had this evening. The French onion soup had a nice beefy flavored to it. There were many onions the piece of bread that floated in it was hardy it held together. The amount of cheese, melted over the top was absolutely incredible and also was served with oyster crackers, which was pleasant to receive with that soup. My boyfriend had the chicken bacon ranch sandwich. It looked wonderful. He said he wished that there was a little more ranch dressing on it. It was a little light. He wanted more of that ranch flavor, and the chips on the side were fresh and crispy. I have the chicken moon sandwich. The chicken that was on the sandwich was a nice piece of white breast meat. It was juicy. It had some good flavor to it. The mushrooms that were sautéed there were many of them and made the sandwich. very good too. I would say there was maybe a little bit too much mozzarella on there for me. There was some over the chicken and mushrooms, but then there was also more on the lid of the roll. The role was fresh and tasty. I was hoping maybe for a little lettuce and tomato on it which would've been nice and maybe some other dressing an aïoli or maybe even a mustard. I had onion rings they were a little bit overdone for me and a little greasy but they weren't too bad. All at all it was a good meal. I'm definitely looking forward to going back and maybe having one of the entrées the next time.“

“Adorable place, stopped in here on the way back to Los Angeles on a work trip. Food was large portion and absolutely bomb. I had the country benedict with a short stack of almond blueberry pancakes, both top level. If you are Bennington, VT give this place a try.“

“Very cool place. Friendly , fast service, and the food is delicious. It's a local hometown bar. Great prices, and they have a pool table if you should watch to take on the challenge. Casual atmosphere. Everything we ordered was delicious. We will be back again.“

“Tom and I love to go out to breakfast. We have been to many local dinners , from Bennington VT as far as Granville NY. Can definitely say that Country Gals Cafe is the best food , prices , service and atmosphere . They also can provide me with a vegetable side@ breakfast. Most places can't. The Best; hands down.My only wish is that they had more seating and longer hours on Sun am. ?. & of course , I keep trying to convince them they should do dinners also. ?We love you at Country Gals. We will always come in for breakfast.Tom & Deb.“

“Door dashed Philly's twice now and the food was fantastic, especially the Philly Jawns, which is now one of my son's favorite foods. I tried the Broad Street Bully and it was so good. Bennington needed something new and different and Philly's was just the thing. I look forward to visiting the restaurant in person.“

“My husband and I both got burgers which were large and came with a generous portion of fries. The food was absolutely amazing and the menu was extensive with options that would please just about anyone. We were here during off hours and it was still busy but great. If I’m in the area again I will certainly visit!“

“We drove here to Eagle Bridge from Texas while our kids were on Christmas break. We stumbled upon Benson’s family restaurant after a trip to the grocery store. This place is a must stop! It’s a quiet place that has a real home town feel to it. The service was OUTSTANDING! During a time when good service is difficult to find, this was a breath of fresh air. We arrived for an early dinner, before 5 p.m. so there was only one young lady attending to 3 or 4 tables including ours. Since we were invited to sit anywhere, people kind of spread out. The restaurant isn’t huge but she was helping customers in all areas of it. All of this done with a smile, casually talking with guests, some new some regulars. She was doing all this while taking orders, checking on guests and greeting arriving guests. The menu had quit a few items to choose from, much more than I had anticipated. We decided on the fried mozzarella cheese sticks as an appetizer mainly because it’s the kids favorite, there were plenty more to choose from. My wife settled on a simple tomato soup (the special of the day) and a grilled cheese sandwich. The kids decided they both wanted spaghetti and meatballs and I decided to get the liver and onions. The appetizer arrived quickly and the kids quickly split the six between them. They both liked that they were different from what they usually get. I don’t know for sure by I believe they were made in house. My wife and I we very impressed when the main dishes arrived. The tomato soup was so delicious, again we believe homemade. The grilled cheese although so simple looked perfect. Not burnt at all, it literally looked perfect, served with chips and a pickle spear just like you would eat at home. The liver and onions were spot on too! Tender and delicious and served with spicy french fries, (my choice over mashed potato's) and cooked carrots. The kids spaghetti and meatballs, perfect. Served with what we believe was homemade sauce over angel hair pasta with 2 large meatballs and some garlic toast. The meatballs must have been delicious because the kids ate those first, rare for my daughter to do, both very happy. Make sure to save room for dessert because there is a whole whiteboard of them! We opted for slices of homemade pie, served warm with of course a scoop of vanilla ice cream. While my daughter opted for a peanut butter jubilee sundae. The apple pie my wife ordered was very good but didn’t hold a candle to the blueberry slice I had! This was truly the best blueberry pie I’ve ever had. The young lady that took our payment was just as pleasant as our server rounding out a wonderful family dinner. I hope if you are ever in the area and in need of a good meal, at a fair price, served with a smile, this is the place. Kudos to all involved with Benson’s.“

“Came here for breakfast for the first time and was extremely pleased. I had an egg sandwich and home fries. I asked for the home fries to be crispy and they were absolutely perfect! I’m so happy with the food and the service here that this will definitely be our go to place for local breakfast from now on.“
