    Steak and crab cake
    Lawrence P.

    Fun atmosphere, fantastic food and attentive service. Nice rainy evening to enjoy a wonderful meal starting with the massive beer battered shrimp, and then smothered cheesy chicken for her and steak and crab cake for me. Simply could not have been better!

    Chicken and vegetable pasta primavera special

    My dinner at Benjamin's was really tasty! I had the Chicken and vegetable pasta primavera special. The only negative thing was the service. Half of our table finished our waters and she never offered to refill them or really came back to check on us.

    Lump crab cake platter with roasted Brussel sprouts and baked potato

    Hole in the wall with great food. Always looking for ways to support local businesses and this one was a great find. My first time here I ordered the Ribeye with baked potato and a Crabcake BLT, both were delicious. I was so hungry that I forgot to take pictures! LOL! My bad. This time I remembered. Hahaha. I wanted so badly to give this place five stars, but the wagyu beef burger was overcooked and my side Ceasar salad had so much dressing on it that the romaine had ZERO CRUNCH! this is not acceptable. The crab cakes were tender, juicy, perfectly seasoned and the the baked potato was a great pairing. I added my own clarified butter and shredded cheddar though. I would come here again just not for the cheeseburger.

    Merry Christmas y'all‼

    We have been passing this place almost every day for years and have heard both negative and positive from different people so when we received a Birthday coupon and a very generous Gift card from a friend we decided to take our whole crew of 7 to this place on a busy Friday evening! Parking was full but it was easy to find a parking spot! The Hostess immediately found us a big round table to seat 7, which is quite rare on a Friday night! We ordered several different kinds of hors d'oeuvres were not disappointed! it was delivered in 5 minutes piping hot! One thing negative it was extremely greasy but still delicious! The main entrées were delivered quickly (10 mins)! The steaks were seared to perfection and all the side dishes were delicious complementing the rest of the food! There was very generous serving and the total bill for 7 of us came to around $180...yikes but it was well worth the experience! Looks like this place has very enthusiastic local patrons that keep coming back!! The waitress we had was fantastic, we left her a generous tip...because a good attitude and efficiency deserve a little extra! We highly recommend this place! We hope to be back again! Thank you for the memories! Merry Christmas!

    Went here with another couple who live in the area. We also selected it for location because we were going to a play a Poplar Forest.. THe parking was adequate and it is easy to get into the place. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The food was ok. There was a mix of steak and seafood orders. It was pretty slow. We had 1.5 hours to go when we got there before the play started and we had to rush out to get there on time. Nothing bad to really say... just ok

    The pasta special - had shrimp, asparagus, mushrooms, and a lobster cream sauce - very nice!

    As tourists in the area we celebrated my husband's birthday here because he wanted a steak with a more casual atmosphere. The website "Great Cows and Crabs" line had us hooked. We were able to sit outside and listen to some live music on Friday night. He got his Grilled Angus rib eye, and I had the pasta special - which had shrimp, asparagus bits, mushrooms (unfortunately, but I picked them out), and a great lobster cream sauce. He said his ribeye was cooked perfectly to medium rare, and for his 2 sides he got two baked potatoes so I could have one. yum! We also had the Benjamin's (pick 3) sampler, with delicious calamari, big peel & eat shrimp, and yummy sweet potato fries as an appetizer. 2 thumbs up to Benjamins!

    Benjamin's House Salad (Side)  This was $3. Not worth $3. Ranch dressing was solid.

    We had the opportunity to enjoy Easter brunch here, and it delivered the kind of experience you…read morehope for on a holiday morning. The atmosphere struck the right balance. Upscale without being stiff, comfortable without losing that polished feel. I ordered the jambalaya, and it was a standout. Well layered flavor, not overly heavy, with a nice balance of spice and richness. The proteins were cooked properly and the vegetables still had structure, which matters in a dish like that. It felt intentional, not just thrown together for a brunch menu. Across the table, the Eggs Benedict was equally strong. The hollandaise was smooth and properly seasoned, not overly lemony or thick, and the eggs were cooked right where they should be. That is often where places miss, but this one didn't. Dessert was where things really elevated. The strawberry cheesecake was clean, bright, and not overly sweet, with a good texture that held together without being dense. The chocolate Rasberry glutin-free dessert torte, was rich in the right way. Deep chocolate flavor without crossing into heavy or overwhelming. Service was attentive without hovering, and timing between courses was well paced, which is not easy on a busy holiday like Easter. Overall, this is a place that clearly pays attention to execution. Not just presentation, but flavor, balance, and consistency. That is what separates a good brunch from one you remember. We will be back.

Server wasn't much help and said she was new. Service was slow and embarrassingly bad. Our food was subpar and nothing to write home about (we didn't even take photos) - the best bite was the Thai Chili sauce Brussels. 3 out of 4 at our table had a that a veg side and everyone liked them! My wife had a the filet, which wasn't very tender. We came for dinner based on advertisement of a James Beard award winning chef. We've been to many restaurants (not in LYH) that have a James Beard award winning chef- don't be fooled this one wasn't!!!

    Let's start with the positives - our food was delicious tonight, the salmon & grilled chicken were…read morecooked perfectly. Our server was amazing but I can't remember his name. The manager i had to speak to was very professional and apologetic for the issue we had. She offered to move us, give us a free dessert, she was trying to rectify a situation the hostess had caused. She did offer a discount on the bill which was appreciated but honestly I only voiced my complaint so hopefully it doesnt happen again. Now to the issue and the negative - the hostess sat us (me and my husband) at a table. No one around us then immediately put 3 tables together and we overheard they were sitting 15 people there. None of those 15 had inside voices and were extremely loud the entire time. We finally had to box our food up and leave. We had asked to be moved but honestly itd gotten to the point we were just annoyed that grown adults would be so loud and disrespectful in a nice restaurant. If your goal is to be drunk and loud go to bdubs or I dunno stay home so you dont ruin other people's dinner out. Overall we enjoyed the food and the staff aside from the hostess were great. We wont let this stop us from visiting again and will definitely speak up faster next time if put in a situation like that.

    We recently held my son's wedding rehearsal dinner at The Neighbor's Place, and I cannot say enough…read morewonderful things about our experience. We were planning the event from four hours away, and Lindsey and Jessica made the entire process incredibly easy and stress-free. They were always quick to respond to emails, answered every question thoroughly, and even sent photos of the room and table dimensions so I could plan decorations and linens from afar. Their communication and attention to detail were truly exceptional. The dinner itself was absolutely beautiful. The food was delicious, reasonably priced, and offered a great selection within the package we chose. We were especially impressed with how smoothly the staff handled a large group with many different steak temperatures and meal requests -- everything came out efficiently and perfectly cooked. When we were running short on time, Lindsey and Jessica even jumped in to help set up the room for us, which meant so much to our family. Their kindness, professionalism, and genuine care made the evening feel seamless and special. If you are considering The Neighbor's Place for a private event or celebration, I highly recommend them. They helped create such a memorable night for our family, and we are incredibly grateful.

Unfortunately, they were out of my favorite green grape soju, but that plum flavor was a fantastic concession. Might have to get that more often. I ordered the seafood pancake to start and the LA Galbi for my main. The Galbi came out first so I asked the server to cancel the seafood pancake. The galbi was delicious! Well marinated, cooked to perfection, and piping hot when it reached my table. There was a pretty wide variety of banchan as well: Cucumber kimchi, sesame broccoli, mashed potato salad, radish kimchi, bean sprouts, and tofu in chili oil. My dish also came with miso soup which was also really good, especially on such a cold evening. The only thing that really didn't go well with this visit was the service. I appreciate my server's enthusiasm, but it was just a bit much. She literally popped up at my table every 5 minutes, and it seemed like she always showed up just after I put a bite of food in my mouth. Also, it's Korean BBQ... I've got a full carafe of water on the table, half a bottle of soju, and I'm working on this plate of food... What could I possibly need? Especially after the 5th or 6th visit to my table. A few check-ins are fine but this was just excessive. I also didn't like how one of her colleagues practically hovered over my table after giving me the bill. I barely got to close the bill fold after putting my credit card in it before he popped up out of nowhere to process my payment. Relax guys... I'm not going to walk out on the check. And I'm definitely not going to leave without my credit card. Chill out. Overzealous service notwithstanding, this place is still worth visiting. There's also a bubble tea and mochi donut place in the lobby so if you just want something sweet, they've got you covered. If you like Korean BBQ, and you happen to be passing through, definitely recommend stopping by this place... Just don't expect to be able to enjoy your meal in peace.
