Reviews For Benson's Cafe

I’m a food snob. I’m also super critical of service. I eat in Boston and many fine restaurants and it has been a LONG time since I let a review for a brunch restaurant. My wife and I happened onto this place waiting for my son to finish wrestling at Smitty’s Barn. The food was fabulous. The baked beans were some of the best I have ever had. The portion is a little small so I ordered two sides to go. The burrito sandwich was very good and the cinnamon roll was literally the “icing on the cake” Korrin was our server and was timely, friendly and informative. This place is also very clean, which I loved. If you find a way to leave less than 5 stars please eat somewhere else so the rest of us can enjoy this place!!!

We drove almost 30 minutes to Bensons and we were really pleased with the friendly service and the great tasting food. But as we are enjoying our meal one of the employees started sweeping the floor in the bar area, moved all the chairs, way too close to where 3 tables were still eating. Luckily one lady behind the counter noticed that a customer was having some problem due to the dust and they ceased the cleaning. It was 12:30 on a Sunday, they close at 1:00, we understand they want to go home but they need to pay attention to this type of details.

We've been here several times and have had a great experience each time. Emily was attentive, friendly, and proud of the restaurant and her part in it. The food portions are large, tasty, and served quickly with an atmosphere that is pleasant and welcoming, playing the kind of music you like to listen to. They open early at 6.

This breakfast spot is a winner for anyone craving classic morning fare. They’ve got all the favorites—pancakes, eggs, and bacon—done just right. The homemade cinnamon rolls are fantastic, and I’m looking forward to trying more of their homemade goodies. The vibe is cozy and inviting, and it’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger over your coffee. Whether you're in the mood for something simple or a bit more special, they’ve got you covered.

Hands down our favorite breakfast place. Always loved bringing my nana here for pancakes and my husband loves the Benedict’s here. The omelettes are always amazing and the staff is always friendly and attentive.
