We got a couple sandwiches that were good but the smell in there was overpowering. Old and stale.

Stopped in to visit Ben's Diner for breakfast. Ben's Diner is located in a retail shopping complex. It's rather big on the inside. I ordered Sausage gravy over 2 biscuits, plus 2 eggs over easy and an order of hash browns, plus coffee and water. Food came up quickly. The sausage gravy tasted "sausagey," but it was a tad too salty. The eggs were cooked properly, The hash browns were of the type where they are premade and then either deep fried or cooked on a flat top. They were hot, crispy and cooked properly (you get 2 of them). Coffee was good. Service was good, paid with Apple Pay. If you add the tip as part of your digital transaction - they give you the tip back in cash to place on the table for their server. Was surprised by that - never encountered that before. #BensDiner read more

Call in to do a take out!! Turkey and dressing with mash potatoes. Got it home no mash potatoes!! That was $22.00 just for turkey and dressing.very unhappy.this is the second time not going to be a 3rd time. So if you do a take out you better check it before you leave. This place is going down hill. read more

We LOVED this place. Best grits of our entire time through the South. As two old gals tripping across the country, we generally can't order much at restaurants. Although we only got two bowls of grits and one side of steamed broccoli, and drank tap water, we were treated as queens. Highly recommend stopping here before or after visiting the great thrift store next door. read more

Loved our breakfast today at Ben's Diner . Driving down to Dollywood from PA and stopped at 7:30 this morning. First, I have to say what a pleasure our waitress, Barb, was. It was busy and she was the only server. She was great! And as busy as she was, she never complained about being short-staffed or how crazy it was. Which, at any other place lately we would have had an earful of complaints. Barb's demeanor was calm and she treated us like we were the only people she had to wait on. Excellent service! Okay now onto the food. 3 of us had the cheese omelette. I had it with sausage and the home fried potatoes. Others had the bacon and the hash browns. Our grandson had the pancakes. Everything was great. Very fresh and portions were generous without being obnoxious. The home fries we REALLY good. They don't have a really large menu, but they offer the basics. Keeping it simple and good. Look, the diner is old school but clean. We had a relaxed, stress free meal that was good. Highly recommend. And remember, when you go ask for Barb. read more

Ordered food to go. Short wait. Food was good. Nice people. Clean establishment. Will dine in or order out again.

Cheap. Mom and pop vibe. Small town feel. Salt of the earth kind of people. Just something different from The big city places. Good different. read more

Excellent cheeseburger and fries. We have come here for years. The staff is usually very friendly and helpf.

I enjoy visiting small towns on the weekends and attempt to support small businesses as much as possible. I want to thank the staff and chefs at Ben's diner for an outstanding breakfast. The diner is an older establishment, located in a shopping mall but don't let that be the factor you judge this diner by. I had breakfast and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. If your in the area and looking for breakfast give Ben's a try. They also serve lunch so interested how what folks think about that meal. read more

This was the worst dining experience I ever had. When we walked into the restaurant, no one greeted us. We were told to grab a seat, but there were no clean tables. We waited for some time and no one came to clean the table. We left. read more

If you're looking for a quality diner experience Ben's is that. No frills, American breakfast standards and since you're in the valley expect good biscuits, sausage gravy and for the advanced culinary pallets some good ole scrapple! The dining area is huge so a great place for groups. I've always had the same server at Ben's and I'm embarrassed to say I don't know her name but customer service has always been fantastic. read more

Woodstock, Thank God, is not LA or SFO, so don't expect truffles, tofu and sushi. The town is a beautiful example of the more beautiful Shenandoah Valley and Ben's is a historic and wonderful little place to eat with a small town flavor - the hot roast beef sandwich that covers the plate with gravy and mashed potatoes is 5 stars. Friendly service and home-town cooking that the locals really appreciate. Stop by, relax, and enjoy something from the pretty complete menu. read more

Folks this is a diner, not a gourmet sandwich shop. Homemade gravy & mashed potatoes, roasted meats! Best club sandwich! Thanksgiving & Christmas meal is delicious. Prices fair portions plenty! And the wait staff take care of you! read more

Home town diner. Basic breakfast. Fast service. Wide variety of breakfast and lunch options.

I hope that this review will help to balance others that shed no light on the following.: Think of BEN'S RESTAURANT as a diner. Not the new diners with their high prices and fake diner food but just like the older diners of times now passed, with at least one exception: the location is that of an older shopping center, not in a typical DINER in a freestanding building with shiny metallic siding. So, when you think of coming here, thinking terms of diner food, such as fresh milkshakes, delicious fresh hot french fries and cheeseburgers. Then, of course, you can get the diner style dinner meal if you wish. I have enjoyed dinner here at BEN'S but usually go elsewhere for that. I love the cheeseburgers and milkshakes and delicious french fries, personally. read more

I went here based on YELP reviews, and proximity to our hotel. It seemed popular. My wife described the decor as like a church basement. The food was bland and without much variety. No fresh vegetables to be seen anywhere near the place. The ambiance was sort of a cross between an old age home and a David Lynch movie. There are better options with short drives, save yourself the trouble. read more

Sorry, but really just barely OK at best. One test of a restaurant is the cleanliness of the bathrooms; this one could have been worse but... Food was OK, but Fast Food would have been better, and at a better price. read more

They have the best hot roast beef sandwich! I have been coming here since I was little. Such great soul food!

This is one of the best hometown restaurants we have in Shenandoah County. I'm glad it didn't close when Ben Franklin Store did. I eat here every chance I get and the prices are low and the food is great. I'm one of those people standing in line for a seat when the Thanksgiving special is served. A lot of good food for a small price. As for the bathroom comment, this out of towner is not aware this restaurant is very old, The doors may be alittle unhinged and the place not up to date, but as long as its 'clean enough' to use, its good enough for me. read more
