Ok first I love old roadside Americana when traveling. The Blue Benn was a pleasant find for lunch…read more The locals obviously live it as it was full and folks waiting outside for a seat as it is a true diner with little room for anyone not seated at the counter or the tables. The waitstaff was pleasant and helpful with my wife's allergy needs and the menu had something for everyone. My pastrami sandwich wasnt great as it was rather chewy but thats a risk anywhere i've ordered it. I just wasnt in a burger or turkey club mood. Fries were excellent hand cut hot and crisp! Lots of pie choices and it all looked scrumptious but we opted to drive off for a Maple creemee nearby. Yep i would stop here again. And get the pie!

Our first visit was disappointing. The mussels were delicious as well as the calamari. However,…read morethey served me three large filet "medallions" each one cooked differently: medium rare, medium, and well done. Most of it was stringy, they offered only potatoes as a side, and "whatever the chef decides on a particular day." My husband's filet mignon was overcooked and dry, his potatoes lukewarm, and scallops overcooked. He told the waitress who offered to take the scallops - not the entire plate. The manager came over to apologize and asked my husband if he'd like to try anything else but he was too disappointed and lost his appetite. He explained that we were celebrating our anniversary but the woman didn't care to acknowledge it. After all that, the waitress returned and asked if we wanted to see the dessert menu without apologizing about our meal. Very unprofessional. We declined, paid the check, and left the bare minimum tip, which we never do. We don't blame the waitress for the food, but for her service technique and disinterest in her patrons' needs. Oh, they didn't charge us for my husband's meal but lacked the courtesy to tell us in person. Needless to say, despite the charming atmosphere, excellent salad bar, and incredible appetizers, we will not return. Maybe the chef had an off night, but what excuse did the staff have?

We didn't even stop to unload the car and went straight there. Only a few minutes away. Two options. Sit inside or outside.

The plan share an order of two brisket empanadas and each get the french onion soup. Then our waitress, Lynn throws me a curveball-gumbo- I fold and order gumbo. I make a great gumbo so the test is on. We know the french onion will be fantastic. Brisket empanadas and the accoutrements are a home run-as Upon arrival of the gumbo,I was skeptical. Mine looks much better. Once I tasted, I was back in New Orleans with a smile. Well done chef. We know why they are always setting up for a party/event in one of their many dining rooms. Love the fireplace from both the tap room and dining room. The views are traffic free.

Okay okay, I agree- yes it's very random. I took it for granted living back in CA but as I sat…read morethere with our group of 16 - you gotta thank these chain restaurants.   Huge shout out to the staff that helped us out on Sunday - we were not an easy group (mostly for size, I'd like to say weren't difficult in customer service way)   I ordered (me and for the table): Chips and dips (if you have a free account, you get this for free) I like how salty and thin chips are - salsa has teeny spice Triple dipper (we got the mozz sticks, the Nashville crispers, buffalo wings) I like the mozz sticks, definitely heavy even for half of the cheese. Crispers were a little stringy and buffalo wings were also a little tough Quesadilla (chicken and bacon) Pretty huge portion, 8 slices, good to share with someone, pretty heavy to eat though Overall, pretty good portion for price point but the food itself is just...beige and fried. So, don't eat here that regularly but I enjoyed my experience

It's Chili's. Do we expect anything more or less?…read more I've only order takeaway from them a few times, and bc it's near the hotel. They seem busy all the time. Feel like there aren't many option of places to grab dinner around here so Chili's might be a good solid spot. I think I've only eaten Chili's once in the city, and wasn't great. Very diner style food. You'll have your standards burgers, wings, but added an Americanize version of Mexican influence food like quesadillas and taco bowls (which I am absolutely sure Chipotle does it better). So... tried their boneless buffalo bites (horrible, tough to chew on), bacon cheeseburger (decent, as expected), and they gave me free bag of chips & salsa (greasy chips - didn't eat it). I think I've the sliders last time and it was super dry. Had a Philly cheesesteak during one of my other visit and it does not travel well - (so eat in for this one). Bottom line, if you can't go through Chipotle's drive through, or any drive through... then this is your safe bet.

And lucky to have mimosas! Now, the one item that I would like to see improve, staffing. Location was maybe 1/2 full. 4-5 young ladies walking around. Took 20 minutes to come over to take our drink order. Drinks came quick. Then another 10-15 minutes to take our food order. The food came out pretty quick. However, we didn't have silverware. Had to ask. Then we never were asked about additional drinks. One more small item, air conditioning was set for a high temperature. It was hot in there. Enough to leave sweat on the seats. Food was very good. Would we come back? I think the staffing left enough of a bad "taste" that we may be back.
