    Best Chicken Sandwich Ever
    Marissa A.

    Got try Bennie's for the first time at an event where they had a food truck version. The food truck was spacious with 3-4 workers i believe. I ordered their best chicken sandwich. The sandwich was really good from a homemade butter bun, two chickens topped with jalapeños, lettuce and a cream sauce. The flavors were well put together. The service was friendly and quick I didn't wait long about less than 10minutes. I ll have to try that sandwich again but at the restaurant itself.

    Just had their Best Chicken Sandwich at their food truck inside of Hops and Hounds on the River Walk. That was truly the BEST chicken sandwich I've eaten in a very long time. Absolutely incredible and satisfying. Thanks for taking my taste buds to heaven and back while I enjoyed the views and ambience in the park. Will definitely come back to try their other menu options.

    Cuban sandwich
    Gwendolyn S.

    I found myself driving by Benjie's Munch at the exact moment my stomach was reminding me I had not fed it yet today. I have been meaning to give it a try, so why not today? I am so glad I did. Let's start with the service. I was greeted at the counter by a very friendly representative and asked if it was my first time. When I answered in the affirmative, I was welcomed and offered answers to any questions I might have about the menu. It was pointed out that all items are made from scratch, which I appreciated. I decided to go with the Cuban with onion rings as my side, but the Brussels sprout leaves were also calling to me. I added an order of them. The food arrived very quickly, and the server offered additional condiments and cutlery. He was extremely attentive and friendly without being intrusive. The Cuban was delicious and on point (I lived in Tampa for several years)--crispy bread, tart mustard and pickles, the bite of salt in the thick slice of ham perfectly set off the melty Swiss and tender pork. Excellent. The only problem--and it is far from a problem--was that those Brussels sprout leaves were so addictive that I finished the entire order before touching that delectable sandwich. I could only eat a quarter of the sandwich before crying "uncle" and taking the rest to go. I am so fortunate to have tried Benjie's today. I will definitely be back for another round. The grilled cheeses look delightful!

    I had been here a few years back and I wasn't really impressed so I was hesitant to give it another chance. But let me tell you! I am glad I did! First of all, the staff was really helpful, explained their menu and offered suggestions the burgers were so full of flavor and juicy. They also carry one of the most delicious pineapple fountain sodas ever! Will definitely go back!

    Review # 400, and I'm so glad it is for an outstanding place! My wife was having dental work nearby and one of the dental assistants recommended this place. I looked on Yelp and found out that I had bookmarked this place some time ago as one of the places I needed to try. This place was in the extended shopping center we were in, and we decided to drive to it as it was so hot. Finding it, we found a nearby parking spot in the shade and took it. We arrived a little early, so there was not a crowd (that changed considerably before we left). Walking in, we found a few tables were taken, but that nearly all in the overflow area were empty. We only had 1 couple in front of us waiting in line so that gave us time to look at the menu that is on the wall. We decided what we wanted by the time the other couple had ordered. The help was so nice and knowledgeable and helped us with ordering. She also was quick to tell us about how they grind the meat daily, made their own chips daily, and in fact just about everything was made in house daily. While we were talking with her a young man walked up behind the counter. It turned out he was the owner's son, and he was so friendly. We paid for our order and went and got a table in the overflow area. It was not long until the food arrived. It was just as we ordered, hot, juicy, and so very tasty. The burgers were cooked to order, the chips were amazing, and the side order of fries were great. Everything was seasoned so well, just like I would have done it at home:) Talk about service. While we were eating a young lady came to check on our food. After a while, the owner's son came to check on us. Finally, the owner came around to check on us. Amazing!!! The owner actually spent quite a while with us talking and told us his story about how the restaurant came to be. Such a nice man, and in fact, they all were. Will I return? A definite yes. I will go out of my way to eat here again.

    I'm gonna say up top I'm only giving this a 4 because of the fries. But I'll get into that later lol super clean super welcoming restaurant. Staff greets you as soon as you come in. Answering questions. Patient. Just very inviting. The restaurant has a lot of space inside and is kept super clean. So I ordered a cheeseburger and made it a monster, which adds a patty. Big mistake. Only because it was so huge!! They say their patties are 1/2 pound, and usually you expect that to cook down a bit, but these seemed to still be half pound on the bun. Super juicy. Melty cheese. Nice brioche bun. Very delicious. But the fries. Oh the fries. Shoestring fries aren't my favorite. But I can tolerate them if they aren't overcooked. These are overcooked. I was not a fan. When I go back I'll definitely skip the fries. They weren't for me. There's a large selection of sodas. Fountain and bottled. You can choose any of them with your meal. Again tho, very delicious burger. This spot is easy enough to find. Right off blanco on bitters next to bush's chicken. Plenty of parking. Give em a go cause seriously, these burgers are fire.

    One word. Delicious! The service was quick and simple. The gentlemen that helped me were nice and answered my questions. Since it's a food truck it is located inside Hops and Hounds. Right next to a river and dog park! The area has great views, music, seating, and drinks! I had the candied jalapeño cheese burger with fries and chose to add lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and onions. I would give it a 5/5! It was juicy and flavorful ‍ The fries were nice too. It was so good I forgot to take a picture of my burger BUT I did get a picture of the barky bites (dog treats) and my pups loved them!

    Crispy brussel sprouts Caesar...

    Food food. Quick and convenient. I'm sure they have many great things but right now I'm stuck in the crispy brussel sprouts Caesar! Very good all around!

    Cuban sandwich with fries
    Brian B.

    My cousin selected this place to cater my aunt's 90th birthday recently. I was unfamiliar with this restaurant but I became a fan very quickly. Can't say much about the ambiance as they brought out the food truck and parked it at the end of the driveway. Since they brought the food truck, the menu options were limited. However, there were great options to choose from. I opted for the Cuban sandwich, which was paired with fries. The sandwich was top notch! The fries were just as great as the sandwich. I was quite impressed especially coming from a food truck. I made it a point to snag another plate for the following day before the truck shut down. For my second plate, I went with the spinach and artichoke grilled cheese with bacon. After spending a few minutes in the oven, this sandwich and fries were just as tremendous as the first. I am really thankful my cousin picked this place to cater the party. I look forward to checking out their brick and mortar and sampling more items off the menu.

    Extra rare burger, I ended up just pulling the center out.
    Alex D.

    I was really looking forward to trying Benjies Munch based on all the positive recommendations. **Pros:** - Generous portion sizes - Quick and convenient pickup -Not very busy -Convenient location **Cons:** - The burger was extra rare and cold in the middle. I did order it medium rare which is a loose scale but this was not between 130-135. - The fries and bun were quite mushy (though that's my fault for choosing takeout) - The toppings lacked flavor, mostly just tasted salty Overall, I would suggest looking elsewhere for a great burger.

    Awesome service! Everyone is super nice, patient, and quick. Food came out fast and they were on top of cleaning our mess. I got the plain burger with Brussels sprouts. Yum!!! The Brussels sprouts with cilantro like ranch is AWESOME!!! Highly recommend. Their food is scratch made, so I really enjoyed the burger. Yummy bun even, which I usually don't eat. Brioche with the right amount of crunch and softness. Fun atmosphere. Counter service with lots of seating. Fun colorful artwork on the walls. Great place! Can't wait to return and try more!

    Do they have coffee?

    No we don’t

    Is their food organic?

    They have a few veggie items that probably are...but this is all hand made and crafted...so it could be challenging. I don't look for organic when eating out, but they have some unique items that that probably do offer that's organic.

When we got there it was a small restaurant located in a shopping strip between huebner and blanco. When we walked in we were greeted and told to sit anywhere we'd like. We sat down and ordered coffee which was amazing! Best pick me up. We glanced over the menu and decided what we wanted. I ordered the migas plate, my husband ordered the veggie omelette, and my mother-in-law had the pancake meal. When reading the description of the plate it did seem like a lot of food, but it was well portioned. Everything came out pretty quick. I loved mines and did take a bite of what everyone ordered. I have to say that I have never had a meal where I don't feel completely stuffed. This meal left me satisfied and feeling full but not the bad full. Every bite was delicious! You can tell they use fresh ingredients. My mother-in-law who is extremely picky and hardly ever finishes her meals ate everything. My husband did not leave one bite behind. Lol Definitely would recommend this place to anyone looking for a very satisfying meal. Customer service was great. Everyone was super nice, attentive and patient.
