Zeppoles
L.A. K.

Based on another business owner bashing this place due to being arrogant, My husband and I decided to support Benji and Jakes. Everyone here was so welcoming and definitely service with a smile. We were seated on the patio and it was so nice to eat outside on the water. We had the Arancini appetizer and the plain Jane large pie. Zeppoles for dessert Everything was very fresh and very good. We look forward to coming back again. Where we know we are welcome.

This is before you go out to the outside area first floor

Got to Bethel early we were starving saw this place WHAT a great move. Service was excellent even though the place was crowded. There's a deck right on the Lake front and a second floor deck also. Drinks were excellent and the Pizza was great NOT a five star of course but if your looking for that in this area move on but if your looking for a fun place on the water with delicious food This is it. Try the corn ribs WOW we had two servings of those never had them that way before. If you're going to Bethel Woods for a concert this is the first stop. Beers were cold and the drinks made perfect.

Jackson Pollock pizza. Has marinara, vodka, fire roasted eggplant, and pesto sauces with smoked mozzarella and cremini shrooms. Delicious!!! Nice thin crust but not soggy. All fresh ingredients! I'm glad I live 7 minutes from this establishment!

We had pizza and drinks there in August 2023. The pizza was delicious. Thin crust. They have a pretty good menu. Everybody can find something to eat there. It is a cozy place with a great view of the lake. It was busy on Friday night but we were seated quickly.

They have a small (but great!) craft beer and hard cider selection.

Great lil pizza spot to grab a bite and enjoy a beautiful view before heading over to Bethel Woods for a concert! Top tier service and quality ingredients at pretty affordable prices.

I have had many a pizza at Benji and Jakes and by far my favorite is the Jackson Pollock! Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

Great spot on White Lake to enjoy drinks and a bit to eat out on the deck. Best sunsets in town.

Too many flies. Could use better sanitation. Eating with one hand and swatting flies with the other.

Once you walk into this rustic old home now converted into a cozy restaurant you immediately notice…read morethe character. The large wooden bar shows its age in the best way, giving off that classic, old-school feel. There are about 20 tables and roughly 10 or 15 bar stools in the main seating area. They do take reservations, and it's smart to make one if you want to guarantee a spot. We were greeted right away and served complimentary water and fresh sourdough bread with sea salt and olive oil. The sourdough was incredible honestly some of the best I've had. My wife ordered the chicken parm, which came in a large portion with fresh, house-made pasta. The sauce was excellent, truly one of the best I've ever tasted. The chicken cutlet was perfectly pounded, breaded, and crispy on the outside. I went with one of their standard pizzas a white pie with fresh garlic, honey, and other toppings that all worked beautifully together. Their sourdough pizza dough has been in the family for years from what we were told. The oven appears to be a brick oven (not sure if it's firewood or propane), but it has to be running at 1,000 degrees or more given the incredible crust. They also have a full bar with plenty of beer options. Parking is on a dirt lot across the street, with a small side lot as well. Service was excellent across the board. This is the type of spot that absolutely belongs on the TV show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. I can't say enough about how much we loved the food.

Fried calamari was good, tentacles were a little rubbery but I kind of like that! Bpt sandwich is…read morepork tenderloin flattened on brioche roll with lettuce tomatoes and secret sauce. The size of the loin was literally 5" wide by at least 12" long! Very tender and no way I was able to finish it. In fact it was good for two days of lunch! Very nice staff and great ambiance! Well done!
