    Fries
    Wayne T.

    We were in benicia for the the day. I needed a place to eat that was dog friendly. This restaurant had good reviews,so I decided to give it a try. We ended up finding a table outside in front of the restaurant. The patio was crowded. As per the name, the menu consist of hot dogs and hamburgers. We ordered a cheese burger and a bacon cheeseburger. Also got a full size fries.(It's really large, probably should have ordered a half) The burgers were large,but definitely worth the price. The burgers were a bit over cooked. But I understand that for safety reasons most places thoughly cook the hamburgers. I prefer a moist juicy burger. The fries were steaming hot and had a nice coating of salt. The burgers were fine but not really outstanding.

    California Coney Dog. It's very good.
    Dale P.

    I came in after this place being recommended on Yelp. I ordered the California Coney and a cup of chili. The hotdogs was loaded with all the fixings. It was very good. The chili was average. The only reason for deducting a star was because of the price. I understand that costs have increased over the past few years, but at just about $9 for a hotdog is a little high. They are all beef which I prefer. Maybe I'm just being a little cheap today. I will go back though. The service was friendly and quick. Don't let my cheapness keep you from trying them if you're in the mood for a good hotdog.

    Small hole in the wall hot dog spot off in downtown Benicia. Ordered the California Coney. And so good! When you think of jalapeño you don't think it's that spicy, but their's had a nice kick to it! Loved the chili! Would not mind ordering a side of the chili just to eat by itself! all together, great hot dog and would for sure order it again!

    Char's Hot Dogs in Benicia is a hidden gem for hot dogs and burgers. The menu has a wide selection of burgers & dogs. Service was great, they were attentive and delightful. Best Beyond Burger I've had in a long time. Bursting with flavor and served on perfectly toasted buns, they are an absolute delight. Plenty of options for everyone. They have veggie dogs as well!

    Such great food, highly recommend. I ordered the mushroom swiss turkey burger and paired it with 1/2 garlic fries. The 1/2 fries was more than enough. The burger was so tasty and juicy. Made to perfection. I'm already excited for my next visit. Outdoor seating is super nice, and the customer service was wonderful.

    I love this place now…read more It helps that I live only a couple blocks away from here. But man is the food good now. I feel like I've been going here at least once a month with friends and the experience is always really good. When we enter the music is always good. Usually it's some kind of oldie R&B or rock I think. This recent visit we tried the sliders for the 1st time and man were they good! They are better than the actual burger they have on the menu. The other one with the fig jam just tastes like it's trying too hard. I get that it's Benicia and the brewery is trying to be a little more upscaled but man I miss the burger they had with the Bacon Jam.

    decent atmosphere. ok food. poor service (+ a bit expensive) …read more.. we ate there with a small group. service was slow to start, but we were an easy group: simple drinks and food. they brought the wrong drinks -- we said ok (drank them). the beer was mediocre. 1/3 of the food was waaaaay delayed -- we said ok. the check had to be hunted down -- we rolled our eyes at the automatic 20% gratuity added and the tiny cost (-15%) adjustment for the late food. overall the burger was ok. the patty looked pre-formed/frozen and the bun was cut poorly which made for awkward eating, but the flavors were good: brie and fig. the +$3 salad was a complete rip-off -- a handful of spring mix with vinaigrette (stick with the bagged chips). the total for me, my wife + kid was $100 which was too much for poor service and late food. i'd never purposefully go back.

    Let's discuss! I had heard about Baxter's through a friend who hinted that we should give it a try,…read morebut I hadn't yet had the opportunity. The husband and I were hungry on Wednesday evening, so we decided to stop by Baxter's while heading to our destination. Upon arrival, the location was nice, quiet, clean, and had plenty of street parking. We were able to park directly in front, so we figured the visit was meant to be. As we entered, we were immediately greeted by a very pleasant staff member. He was gracious, friendly, warm, and loads of fun. After seating us, he displayed great knowledge of the menu and available specials. After selecting our bottle of wine and appetizers, we were acknowledged by the owner, Ken, who was friendly and hospitable. He offered information about the restaurant and ensured that we had everything we needed. We inquired about their group events and offerings, and he had plenty to share. Baxter's is a great place for quaint events--they are very creative and have a lot to offer. The food was great, my steak was cooked to perfection, and the mood was just right. The hubs and I were definitely pleased and truly enjoyed our time at Baxter's. We will certainly be back. If you're looking for a nice night out, this is a great choice.
