I hate to rate (whoa, rhyme!) a place solely based on a singular visit, however I do think this…read moreoccasion is appropriate. Scenario- weekday visit- two first time guests. Walked in and was awkwardly greeted by locals (turning around away from their usual bar seats) staring at me deliberately as I entered like that of outlaws in a western film observing an outsider. (Maybe I'm just that hot? Haha! No way) Anyway, the uncomfortable awkwardness was instantly wiped away by our adorable server. She promptly greatest us kindly, in her northern plaid attire, fair complexion and strawberry blonde hair. She kept very good care of us throughout our visit, but my one complaint is- she never offered a drink menu to us. In a bar that's a bit strange. Ever been the sole sober table in a bar? Unfortunately I have many, many times. In bar standards the food was good, and for the price I would recommend.

The crust was really good. We had both regular and thin crust. The amount of cheese on each pizza was out of this world Our server took our orders quickly. The pizzas took a little time to come out but it was worth it. The inside was busy but not crowded. There is a dog friendly patio but it was cool out so we didn't sit there. Parking was no problem because the downtown had already rolled up their sidewalks (ha ha). Over the years we haven't had very good luck with places to eat in walker. We will be back to Bensons to try some of their fare. Try it!

Plenty of parking available in the lot outside. The space inside is very clean, modern, open, with plenty of tables! It has a cozy up north vibe without the tacky 80s decor that others rely on. The servers were amazing both times we visited...we even had a group of 14 and our server kept everything straight! The food was perfect! Really solid American breakfast classics, served hot and fresh! We had REALLY short wait times for our food, which was awesome. I had the biscuits and gravy and the breakfast burrito on my two visits. Tasted amazing and were appropriately valued! If in Walker, this is the ideal spot for Brunch!!

We both ordered burgers, one we topped with cheddar, fried onions, and green olives, the other was topped with pepper jack, bacon, fried onions, and mushrooms. Both were very good! We've decided you must have bacon on the burger. We also ordered onion rings with one of the burgers, and those were good - crispy and warm. Our server was friendly, and when we got our check, another server (the owner's mother) asked how our food was. She found out that it was our anniversary, and she brought us out a dessert. It was really sweet!

The toast was four slices and we'll buttered. The hash browns where cut like angel hair pasta. The eggs were served medium well. Everything was good. Service: I requested salsa and Texas Pete for my hash browns. There was no hesitation on their part to supply my request. When I ran out of drink, I only had to make eye contact with the service staff, and my request was answered immediately. My take on this place overall: A family run business whose present heir manages it with an eye for detail in all its operating aspects. Perhaps not the most socially adapt, her manners are concise and committed. A great place to stop for an omelet or BLT.
