    Went here for trivia and this is going to be our new go to place! They have great beers and I love that you can get a flight to try a few different ones. I tried the tapalope, no carrot all, b passionate, and college water and they were all super tasty but I think the tapalope was my favorite. It had such a good flavor but wasn't too hoppy. We also got the pretzel sticks and they were exactly what I wanted - very salty and chewy, and the cheese sauce and mustard were the perfect accompaniments. They had lots of seating and our server was super nice and came to check on us a bunch. Great place to stop in benson!

    This space is very nice, the staff is friendly, and the service was quick! We went for the Omaha Restaurant Week menu and also had an order of fish and chips! For $16 the fish and chips were great! Nice large pieces of fish, decent fries and a nice dipping sauce! The Restaurant Week menu was okay, I had anticipated the cauliflower to be a whole plate of just cauliflower but it was a few pieces on some lettuce. Not bad just not my jam. The steak was good, the potatoes that were with it were okay, they were missing something but I couldn't figure out what, just a little bland and didn't blend well with the steak. The lemon bar was LOVELY! I really liked them, not too sweet or tart and had a cute little burnt lemon on top! I had the red sangria (a summer special) and we had a glass of college water (one of their permanent beers), both were great! The sangria had cider in it which was so great, a fun take on the usual sangria, the college water tasted just like a light beer you could drink for hours at a hot sports game. Overall, a great experience and pretty good food!

    Fries

    Ordered the mustard ipa chicken wings and order of fries. Fries were good. Freshly made and hand cut. Could use a little salt. Wings on the other hand... nothing good I can say about them. They were bland, and soft. Absolutely no flavor whatsoever. That's about it. Tried to get through one but couldn't. Definitely will not do any of their food in the future.

    Benson Brewery is a solid staple in the Benson neighborhood, with great beer/drinks selection and pretty tasty food options. The interior decor is very diner-style, with a long booth along one side, and bar seating on the other. The open kitchen can be seen at the far end of the restaurant, which is always kind of nice to see. There is a side room that's great for overflow on busy days or for larger groups/events. A few tables and chairs are also out front on the patio. My favorite beer they have is the Blonde Bunny when I want something lighter. A lot of their other beer options are sours or IPAs or darker, which I know is some people's cup of tea - just not mine Appetizer-wise, I love the Brussels Sprouts, but they seem to have changed a little over the years. This past time there was a lot less balsamic, and some type of fruit/vegetable (maybe the candied oranges?) that had a numbing effect on my mouth. My friend who had the same app agreed, so it wasn't just me. Still tasty and all, but just different from previous times I had ordered it. The Brew Fries are absolutely delicious, with house seasoning and a few dips you can order, including a homemade ranch that was to die for. And then there's my favorite entree/sandwich - the pork tenderloin! It's breaded to perfection, the aioli is super yummy (I always order extra), and the bun comes all toasty and divine. I have never gotten a good photo of this, because it gets gobbled up so quickly! The service was great the last time we were there with a group of 17 (!!!) so kudos to the staff in putting up with us :-) I would definitely recommend Benson Brewery for a quick bite, great beer, or to catch a game.

    Love this place quality beer. Tasty we've been coming here for years and the beer is always really good. The burger is always very good too. I had the brew.

    We headed to Benson Brewery in Omaha with the whole family. This brewery is bigger than it looks from the outside, and it strikes the right balance between quirky and casual. It seems to be a great spot for date night and casual get-togethers with friends or family. I ordered the Bacon Bleu Burger, and it came cooked to perfection - I loved the blend of the bacon and tangy blue cheese. My husband was super-happy about the vegetarian options, including Vegan Gyro, Black Bean Burger, and Seitan Vegan Wings. It's pretty rare to find that many veggie options on a smaller menu like this. Our server was so friendly and frequently checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. The prices are a bit on the high side, but the quality and flavors made it all worthwhile. And the guys raved about the beers, so that was an extra plus! Overall, great experience!!

    The service was great, even on a busy weekend. Highly recommended the pretzel appetizers with the mustard and queso. The sauce that is made in house for the fish and chips is out of this world!

    Can't beat a good burger! Good tasting beer too. Always good conversations and atmosphere when going in.

    Sadly Benson Brewery did not live up to the hype. We got two seasonal beers and the mainstay sour. The beers were all good. We followed that with the pretzel sticks and brussel sprouts. The Brussels sprouts were the highlight of the meal. A uniquely prepared dish with oranges. It was the burgers where things took a turn. The menu states made to order, warns about undercookedeat, etc. And the waitress asked how we wanted them made. Our three burgers were supposed to be medium and medium rare but all were well done. If you aren't going to even attempt to make them as ordered, why ask? There are so many great Benson restaurants that we probably won't be back, but if we do return we will stick to beer and apps.

    I enjoyed this place specifically for the vegan options. I had the gyro and the wings and if I had choose between I'd go for the gyro. There were a lot of beer options to choose from but they're all quality options. They have TVs if you want to watch the game and they have room for your friends to meet up! Overall for food and drink purposes it's a solid pick if you're in the area. Also if you have time to stop by during happy hour I'd recommend.

    Cool brewery in a cool neighborhood. A good variety of beers on tap. Great atmosphere. Yummy food. Got the bacon blue burger, Cuban sandwich and Mac and cheese. Traci was a good waitress. We even got a T-shirt for a souvenir.

    Black Bean Burger and amazing side salad !

    Went to benson Brewery yesterday for the first time. I was pleasantly surprised. Very nice inside. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. I regret not trying the beer as I've heard it's good. Now to the food. I ordered the black bean burger with a salad for the side and wife has the fish n chips. First my salad was very good. Fresh cherry tomatoes and the vinaigrette was lovely! The black bean burger was good. Many I've had are dry but this one was not in the least bit. The fish was a tad greasy but very tasty. And omg the malt vinegar aioli is the BOMB!!!!! Will for sure be back !

    Good food and decent drinks. Tracking reservations and getting people seated on time (or close to it) seems to be an issue.

    Love the food, service is mediocre at best…read more Loved the tandoori shrimp with poratta as Dan Hoppen suggests, making a taco with the chutney. Butter chicken, naan, etc. were delicious as well as the cocktails. The problem here is the food is amazing and the service is poor. The first time we came here we waited for 30+ minutes PAST our reservation time and were never seated. We were not even offered water or a drink, we asked for the manager and never saw one, and stormed out. We waited a year and went back due to people raving about this place and had a OK time, not the best Indian food in the area but a fresh take, OK service. This trip was back to a less than ideal experience. Waited 15 minutes from seating to get a drink order. Didn't even see wait staff telling us they'd be with us soon. I expected this knowing this place is all good food and poor service, so no surprise. We were greeted AS IF this was totally normal, get your table and wait 15 minutes, so no apologies or acknowledgement that we'd even been sitting and waiting. Quickly ordered drinks apps and the meal proceeded as expected, with a more regular pace. At the end of the meal we want a box, to pay and leave. Again, waiting for a long time with no wait staff helping us. I love the food but you can honestly get better Indian food for WAY less money a mile away, and the staff doesn't treat you like you need them and they don't need you. Atmosphere is decent, but didn't have music playing even though they have speakers I can see. The cost of the restaurant does not match the delivery on the service or ambiance. Not sure if the staff is underpaid, or the leadership doesn't honor quality front of house, but it's a total mismatch. We had 2 sets of silverware and one was rolled normal like, the other was rolled up like 6 inches differentiation because of the poor and inconsistent preparation of the silverware/napkin. This would not fly at most every cheap-o restaurant, but apparently here that's what you get. It really seemed like the staff didn't really care. The price point doesn't match the service. Good food, be prepared to wait and expect you're paying for the food not the service.

    Third time here and as before the food is top notch. Probably the best Indian food in town…read more What had change is a dramatic increase in the overall professional feel to the service.

From the food to the hospitality, the whole time we were there felt warm, welcoming, and memorable. We shared Ethiopian coffee, spiced tea, and the "Special Kitfo", and everything was outstanding. The kitfo was rich, flavourful, and deeply comforting with beautifully balanced spices and incredible texture. Every bite felt like authentic home cooking made with pride and care. The injera paired with it perfectly, adding that tangy, soft contrast that made the meal even better. The Ethiopian coffee was one of the highlights of the night--smooth, authentic, and clearly prepared with a lot of care and tradition behind it. You could tell this wasn't just "a cup of coffee" but an experience. After the meal, the spiced tea was refreshing and relaxing, the perfect way to finish our lunch. The atmosphere itself was simple but very homey, with plenty of seating and a genuinely comfortable feel. The restaurant and bathrooms were both clean, and the service was excellent. Our waiter checked on us regularly and even came by to see if we wanted our teas refilled. Our waiter shared the story of the birth of coffee from Ethiopia's Kaffa province--how goats supposedly discovered coffee beans after becoming energetic and jumping about from eating the berries, and how the goatherd Kaldi decided to try them himself. It was an amusing story that added so much to the experience. Lalibela felt less like just going out to eat and more like being welcomed into another culture for the afternoon. Definitely a great place to try, so go over; you won't be disappointed.
