I was in town visiting a friend and we decided on Benson's for dinner. We arrived around 6pm on…read moreSaturday and were seated right away. The restaurant atmosphere seems casual but the food made up for it, as our meal was delicious. We ordered a round of drinks (can't remember the exact names) and they were good. We tried the spring rolls appetizer and those rolls are stuffed with meat- they were ok. Next came the main meal, ribeye with Brussels and praline casserole and everything was amazing! The steak was cooked perfectly and very seasoned! If I am ever in the area again, I will be stopping in for another great meal!

I'm pretty sure they could improve on almost everything. We ordered the $45 poppa's platter. So…read morewhen you see you get three plates you are thinkin this is great! We did order I believe a good 35-40 minutes prior to closing. The girl was short on the phone but even shorter in person. I myself walk in apologizing our order was late. Instead of her being friendly saying oh no I'm sorry we close so early or something to that nature she said nothing but my total. She had it all bagged up and so I figure how hard is it to pack up the needed condiments, include silverware & napkins(after all they charge you a "cc conv fee" of $2.16 for that stuff I'm assuming. She was just so like she had more important things to do than assist me. Once being a server I rarely don't tip but she left me with such a cold customer care I followed my instincts & gave nothing. As I'm outside loading my food she comes out spraying the strongest over bearing smelling spray that I guess cleans their windows that it really stood out that she was spraying in my direction on purpose. Then to get to our camper to find no condiments at all (no ketchup, no tarter, no cocktail, NOTHING) We had no silverware, No crackers & hot sauce for our coleslaw, not even salt & pepper. Now look at these pics- after separating it out this is what we got for our $44 plus tax + conv fee. Surely this is a mistake. The shrimp taste alright, lil over cooked, the fries were half twice fried & under fried, the corn was spicy and shriveled, the whole potatoes are SPICY, we had more potatoes than anything else. Plus this famous biggest platter had no oysters! Fried shrimp, fried catfish, corn on the cob, handful of boiled shrimp, whole potatoes, French fries, and stuffed crab. Which leads me to why two kinds of potatoes on this plate? In all it was ok to eat but looking at does the quality match the price? Nope, seems like we got food trailer seafood for the prices of high rise restaurants. The girl working the counter does realize you can get tipped for to go orders? Maybe put it simply serving a table is easy- you have around an hour to get things right. A to go order you get maybe 10minutes- if you can't win em over in 10mins doing the basic maybe serving isn't your best choice. Simple things like what most of your tables ask for is what we needed. Being efficient & friendly is a must. The oyster poboy was dropped off for my father in law so not sure how it was. I'm just very disappointed in spending $68 and the total experience being so under average. I do believe yall could do a lot better. Maybe consider tellin pep you don't take to go orders like an hour before closing if this is the service & food you get. It's gona be a while before I try this place again if ever. I do not recommend.
