Nice downtown location, they have a early happy hour which was great considering I was stuck for a couple hours in the afternoon betwen appointmants. Good food, enjoyed my chicken sliders. read more

I've been here twice. It is such a great addition to Rochester's boring cuisine. The ambiance is very hip, modern, open concept, light and airy (unlike the dim lights and dark furniture in every other restaurant in this town). I feel like I'm in Chicago or NYC here. They have lots of vegetarian options. The kids pancakes are a huge portion for $5. The Benedict's are really good. I had the California one, and my hubby had the salmon one twice. The second time, they put way too much dill it was too overpowering. I had the roasted veggies curry with 2 eggs, it was really good!! So flavorful and interesting! I wish it was spicy (I thought it was, but the menu had said "spiced" instead of spicy). I'd order that again. Would love to try the French toast at some point. The service is wonderful. Also, it's one of the ONLY restaurants that has an espresso machine and serves lattes and cappuccino. Really, this should be a must, American coffee is so lame. They also have a nice selection of hot teas. All in all, very impressed. I will be back! read more

If you're going to charge me $160 for breakfast and we end up taking half the food home pretty obvious there's something wrong with that picture with that being said note to those who go to this place, do not order the chicken gravy biscuit the most disgusting ever not to mention Frozen biscuits steak burrito taste like a week old steak to the staff members I can tell the difference between a tenderloin steak and an average steak so don't try oh yeah and your staff should act with professionalism not come around flexing their muscle like it's a fashion show this place is not only highly ranked it's highly overrated... read more

Benedict's - Steak burrito Taste of like a week old do not order the chicken biscuit and gravy the most disgusting ever - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rochester, Minnesota

This breakfast/brunch spot is simply delicious and delightful. Our family stopped in and had amazing service, food and overall experience! The place is bright and open with a emphasis on eco-friendly, sustainable products think no plastic:) There is a great menu selection with pancake options, mix and match options, a variety of drinks and innovative eggs Benedict options that even include lobster. We will definitely be back to try something new each time. read more

A cute idea for a brunch place, but done somewhat wrong. We have gone here 2 times, and both times the experience and fallen flat. First Experience: The service - We had an online reservation, we came 10 mins before the time. They told us there was a wait, 20 mins. We said "okay". 30 mins passes by, we ask for a status. They said "oh, we canceled you from the list bc a party of 3 canceled their reservation" - why wasn't there a name confirmation? So now, we had to start all over for a table when it wasn't our fault. We were finally seated after an hr of waiting, people who got there after us without reservations were seated at least 30 mins before us. Something, wrong about that logic. They also, squeeze us into a 2 person table or we would have had to wait another 20-30 mins. Ok, fine - a little disorganized, but maybe they're still trying to figure something out? Overall, a 1 star service The food - We ordered the Country Fried Porkchop and the Cubano Benedict. The CFP, the porkchop was good, but it was layered over the hashbrowns, which caused the hashbrowns to be soggy...also, the layering did not add any value whatsoever to the dish, ruined it if anything. The Cubano, the cornbased element was WAY undercooked - was still soggy and grainy, yuck. The country potatoes were the winning element of the dish though. Overall, a 3.5 star meal. Second Experience: The service - The service was better this time because there were a lot of tables available. Maybe the hype is over? Waitress was nice. Overall, a 4.5 star experience The food - We got Chilaquiles, Hot Fried Chicken Benedict and a side pancake. Lets talk about the Chilaquiles, no sauce on it. The meat was decently flavored, but that was about it. It tasted a little bit like taco bell, honestly. It was not great. The Hot Fried Chicken batter was not good. This shouldn't have been called Fried Chicken. This was tossed in flour and fried, NOT FRIED CHICKEN. I'm sorry, but it was gross. I couldn't finish it and didn't take it with me. Hashbrowns tasted just like vegetable oil, and I love greasy food, but to be honest - this whole meal made me a little sick. It was gross. I would not get it ever again. The pancake was good! Maybe that's the secret - stick to the pancakes? Regardless, our food experience this time failed on every level with the exception of the pancake. Overall, a 2 stars review, would have been 1 without the pancake. Ugh, and we spent $40. The quality vs price does not equal. I understand that this is something different in Rochester, and I appreciate it, but it just is kind of disappointing. I wish the food was better. If I could give them 2.5 stars I would so I will bump it up to a 3 since service did improve I may or may not be back, maybe just for pancakes if I do read more

You can't go wrong with anything on the menu here! The staff is also so nice (and funny). Take advantage of sitting at the bar when it's busy too - same menu and service. You're just a bit closer to the kitchen, but I personally like to watch the preparation! Since it is in the newest Hilton downtown, it is very pricey. What you see in my picture cost $21 ($8 mimosa and $13 for the food). read more

Benedict's - The Standard: Eggs over medium, sourdough bread, and a peach mimosa. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rochester, Minnesota

My hubby and I were staying at the Hilton, and the concierge recommended Benedict's for breakfast. We came here the next morning and loved, loved, loved it!!! Plus, it was so convenient since we could access the restaurant without leaving the hotel building! Our server was friendly and happy to answer our questions. So many things on the menu sounded delicious, but my hubby went with the daily omelet and I chose the California benedict. Both were absolutely delicious!!! We would come back in a heartbeat!! read more

Very basic tasting food. Not much flavour as per personal liking. They do have good range of egg dishes to try from. read more

Second review. This time we just had the eggs Benedict's The hollandaise sauce was much better. The eggs cooked perfectly again!!! Love the breakfast potatoes. Coffee. Solid. Clean. Wait staff. Great. Our waitress, I forget her name but she wears a choker around her neck is just superb. She gets it and delivers. read more

It was somewhat disappointing. I had the fried chicken benedict, wife had the Nordeast (lobster) benedict. We had a pancake "flight" of Elvis (peanuts, bacon, banana), strawberry nutella, and pineapple upside down cake. The food wasn't great. One of my fried chicken benedicts was cooked OK, the other was overcooked and tough to cut through. More breading than chicken, I would guess the chicken was 1 oz per piece (not counting the breading). On the Nordeast, the lobster was diced and like the chicken a more modest portion than I would've expected. The pancakes and their toppings were room temperature and non-descript. My wife's hash browns weren't quite done in the middle. The hollandaise was OK. The coffee was good while it was hot, but refills were promised and forgotten. I liked the homestyle potatoes. The service was slow, and our food was not hot when it arrived. Times have been tough for restaurants with the pandemic, so maybe it will improve over time, and I can be overly critical of restaurants so take my review with that grain of salt. read more

In town for Mayo Hospital. I ordered the Cubano Benedict. It was very good. Eggs were cooked perfect. Fresh ingredients. Very nice staff including the waitress. Entrance is through the Hilton. (Not the Hilton Express that is just down the street) read more

We're staying near Benedict's and had been wanting to try it for awhile now. Today, we decided to do a brunch and it did not disappoint! My grandma got pancakes and bacon and I got the classic Benedict. We were both very happy with our meal! The hollandaise sauce was delicious and the hash browns were great too. I love that they automatically served a side of ketchup for the hash browns and I didn't have to ask. Our server was fantastic and brought waters right away for the table. I ordered a cappuccino with my meal and my grandma ordered a regular black coffee. It was a wonderful meal, we can't sit to come back! read more

Per the name, this place really does do their benedicts well. It's located on the second floor of the Hilton so can be easy to miss, but well worth the visit if you happen to be in the area. The restaurant itself is cozy and intimate, and service was warm and friendly. I got a standard eggs benny my first visit and a tuna melt the second and both were wonderful. Love the small touches like the homey store branded mugs. Prices are on par with most restaurants in the area. Definitely a solid brunch spot in Rochester! read more

So it was not easy to find Benedicts, unless you are staying at the hotel. A friend wanted to meet me there and I agreed. The meal of steak and eggs was delightful, however after the meal I thought...how is this any different than Perkins? The fruit plate tasted like it had been prepared at least a day ago. Good coffee! Strong Marhgaritta! Very sociable server. read more

Such a wonderful find. Healthy filling breakfasts. We Ordered a Benedict which was amazing and cooked to my liking. I appreciated the absence of grease and cheese. read more

Food was just ok. Got the classic Eggs Benedict. The English muffin was not toasted well, and was sliced open and not pulled open with a fork. They didn't have American cheese for the hash browns. Instead, they used nacho cheese sauce. Server was very quiet and hard to understand, and seemed a bit rude. read more

Outstanding! Will be regulars. The server who also waited the Bar was great. The special was espresso pancakes which should be a standard menu item. I had the tater tots Benedict which were great. The bacon was a little over cooked. read more

Yum! Tried the Hot Chicken Benedict, mini donuts and Espresso Martini! The mini donuts were warm, sweet and crunchy. Great to share. 5-6 in a serving! Hot Chicken Benedict was not overwhelmingly spicy which was good for me. It was served on a delicious biscuit instead of English muffin. I've never had an espresso martini so I had to try! If you like iced coffee, you'll love this! Very enjoyable experience! read more

Deliciou. I ate the benedicts and drank the mimosas. They use ham versus canadian bacon, I prefer the latter. Wasn't crazy about the homemade doughnuts as they were a little more browner than I like. Staff was attentive and the place was clean. Parking was easy to get, but I was there on a weekend morning. I would return. read more

Great food, lovely staff! The benedicts are delicious but also any and everything on the menu.

I loved this spot and would go back in an instant. Our waitress was wonderful (with turquoise earrings) and while you wait for a seat (short wait) you can also look at the beautiful Rochester skyline. Remember you'll have to enter the first floor for the hotel lobby and then go upstairs. Prices are a bit high for the food in my opinion (you could get better tasting brunch for less somewhere else maybe not with a bar though?) but I fully believe you're paying extra for the service and location so I didn't mind. The syrup tasted like real maple syrup too read more

Gluten Free/Mayo Patient Review: We are in town for the week for the Mayo Clinic and went to Benedict's for lunch as we were told there are many gluten free options. It was a short drive over (you could possible walk). They had a lot of options on the menu, super nice staff and the atmosphere was great. We got the French fries and omelet and gluten free pancake trio. We would go again. Highly recommend. read more

We went here for breakfast shortly before the covid19 pandemic shut down the world. Pricey for breakfast but being that it's in a hotel high prices can be expected. The portions are huge, too big for my liking. I ordered what they call a country fried smoked pork chop. Really it was more like a thick slice of ham. It was served over hash browns and then smothered in a sausage gravy. The gravy was tasty but it just made the potato's soggy which was disappointing. My wife got eggs Benedict and enjoyed them. We both got coffee, at $3.50 a cup, I expected a higher quality cup. Service was quick and the waitress was pleasant and efficient. I doubt we will return. There are definitely better places locally for a good breakfast. They do have some choices here that you won't find elsewhere in Rochester, like lobster or crab Benedict , but it's just not for me. read more

We have eaten here a few time and love the freshness of the food. Made from scratch! The coffee is great and their customer service is friendly and exceptional. My husband loves the homemade sourdough toast served with homemade strawberry jam. My favorite are their pancakes! Delicious and their steel-cut oatmeal. Great price and highly recommend!! We will be back!!!!! read more

Came here for breakfast this morning, had Phil as our waiter and he was spectacular! Even as it started to pick up pace he never stopped attending to our needs with a smile on his face and excellent service. Would definitely go back just for the service.
