Went to Benny's on a busy Friday in SLO, enjoyed the live music while we waited for our pizza. Pricey for pizza and they were "out of all pasta" but overall good experience and likely return.

Best pizza on the central coast Amazingly delicious and completely unique Detroit style pizza

A lot of places lacking cheese.

To be honest I should have known to keep my expectations low. All Ive heard from the select few who know about Bennys is how phenomenal it is. And I think part of it was the thrill of the exclusivity of Bennys prior to having a brick and motar. We ordered a classic benny with double pepperoni and extra cheese. And took it home. Its good - dont get me wrong. But it wasnt $35 good. And for paying for extra cheese I was thinking it would be fully covered with cheese - which it was not. Ill give it another go - maybe its a 5 star pizza hot out the oven eaten on site.

We have eaten at a few places this weekend and this was the stand out…read more They offer Mac and cheese, choice of six cheeses and plenty of add ( bacon, broccolini, mushrooms). They offer about 10 interesting delicious salads. 6 kinds of Brussels sprouts, omg! And so many sliders, beef, chicken, Ahi, steak, pork? With enticing toppings. You've got to see this place to believe it. You can order 1-4. Tasting size and mix them up. We were 3 people and had nine different items. They have shared plates, which I find the concept a little awkward. You have to agree on the plates then there is the problem of Am I taking too much? Not enough? I loved that we could all get exactly what we wanted. There was not a miss in the bunch. I don't live here and I can't wait to come back. Our server was adorable and did the cutest thing. We ordered 2 glasses of wine, a good Pinot Noir; she opened a brand new bottle table side and filled our glasses, Then she left the bottle "in case you want more". I have taught servers many ways to build a check, but this is the cleverest ever and of course, it worked. We easily went from 2 glasses to a bottle. Smart girl and a great wine. This is a casual busy place. We were seating by a nine top, I was concerned it would be loud. She seated the table twice and something about the room was right. It never got too loud Our experience here was fabulous. Even the hostesses were sweet.

I placed an online order at 4:25 (directly through their site) and the confirmation via email to show up at 4:45. I shows up at 4:50 and it seemed they hadn't started on my order. I waited until 5:15 for the food which was good and accurate. But for $90 and with no acknowledgment of the inconvenience from the staff and the pre-tip required to order, I have no way to convey the feedback to the restaurant. My advice: call and ensure your order is being processed after you make an online order.

OMG. I absolutely love Detroit-style pizza and this place got it soooo right…read more We started with the Caesar salad which was delicious, and then ordered the elote pizza which came with chorizo, corn, cilantro, and the works. It was sooooo good!! Definitely would want to come back here for different pies. Although... don't order the espresso martini it was lackluster... to say the least.

Great place for date night! We didn't have a reservation and sat at the bar but the bartenders were…read morevery accommodating. We started off with a Smokey the Pear which perfectly balanced the smokiness of mezcal and the sweetness of the pear liqueur, while the egg white gave the drink a smooth and full-bodied feel. The Cucumber Smash was refreshing and not overly sweet, could be a great go-to for someone who likes to keep it simple. For our appetizer we went with the Autumn Panzanella salad and I cannot recommend this salad enough! Every ingredient was a perfect addition without overwhelming the entire dish. For our main course we chose the Detroit style Ricotta & Honey pizza. Simple and absolutely delicious. I recommend getting a bit of ricotta in each bite, it's the secret to keeping the heat of the pepper flakes and hot honey at just the right level. I usually prefer a thin crust but the Detroit style was executed wonderfully, not too dense or too doughy. Both the salad and pizza are a decent portion and we split them between two of us. We finished off the night with the Cast Iron Cookie and paired it with a Cold Brew Martini. Shout out to our bartender for recommending we add a splash of Bailey's to the martini! I do wish the cold brew was a bit more concentrated but overall a tasty drink. The Cast Iron Cookie takes about 15 minutes to prepare, so make sure to place your order early. Service was prompt and attentive! Overall would highly recommend.

Pretty basic menu menu - skews towards burgers and sandwiches - and they do these well. Budgets are solid - and they make great fries. Most recently had a chopped ribeye Philly - which was super tasty! We had a nice salad before dinner that was also fresh and tasty. Eureka also ha a great beer selection, and make a slew of tasty and interesting cocktails. Service can be a little hit or miss, and when they are busy (most of the time) it can get loud - but it's good for groups and odd say the kitchen is on the grove. Reluctant to give them five stars, mostly for repeatedly having mixed service.

The place we initially wanted to eat at was extremely loud and there was a line outside. The energy was way too high for us for a Thursday night, so we decided to keep walking down the street. Eventually we saw the sign on one of the side streets and decided to check it out. The bar was SO cute! Loved all the wood and light fixtures. The bartenders, Josh and Justin were very sweet and welcoming. The music was fun, but still chill. We had such a great time, it was exactly what we wanted.

We went all the way to the back to check it out. We eventually found very tight seating outside against a wall corner. A waiter came by to take our order but told us they don't serve food outside on the patio, only drinks. We were a little bummed by that since we were hungry. We debated staying and my husband went to the bar to grab drinks for us. Not sure what his conversation was with the bar staff but he flagged me to come sit inside and they'd be able to serve us there. The waitress was kind and apologized for the miscommunication. To be honest, I still wasn't sure what the miscommunication was but she took care of us and was super helpful so I was appreciative of the service! The burger was just okay but their Mac and cheese was good. I'm a huge Mac and cheese person and their Mac and cheese was pretty darn up there on my ranking list.
