Looking for that special 50's diner style flair paired with some of the best food the American…read morecuisine has to offer ? Look no further as Benjamin's American diner in Mannheim has got it all! Situated right near the B38 in Gorxheimer Str. this diner style restaurant was modeled after the interior of a 50's train car. Seasonally matched American evergreens welcome you when you enter Benjamin's and are greated in English by one of the staff members. Seating is quite comfy and casual just like you would imagine it. Red leather benches mix with heavy wooden tables. Inside you can also find a large bar where you can enjoy drinks you would otherwise only find in the U.S.: Dr. Pepper, Welch's, A&W Just to name a few. The menu is quite short the selection however is great! Whether you're looking for a burger with fries (best one's you can get around here), a nice New York Sirloin Strip steak with A1 steak sauce and homefries, a nice summer salad with caesar's chicken on top, or baked potatoes filled with sour cream, you'll find it here. Desserts are highly recommended, above all the Sundae Brownie. Extremely recommended is the lunch special where you can get a burger of your choice with french fries for just 4,90 EUR. Pricing's alright, given the fast food character of the dishes though it could be a tad cheaper. Regularly the diner hosts special events such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Super Bowl buffets where you can find seasonal specialities. Reservations are an absolute must here though. The place itself is divided in up- and downstairs whereas the first one usually is only used if the latter one is fully booked or during one of the a.m. One of the few negative aspects of Benjamin's American Diner are its bathrooms. They certainly should hire somebody to fix the everlasting bad smell that has been coming out of the urinals for the last 3-4 years now. Other than that this place is an awesome choice for weekend lunch with the family or just for getting quick lunch during weekdays. I've been coming here for the past 6-7 years now and certainly count Benjamin's as one of my regular places to go.

My husband surprised me with takeout from Benjamin's on Thanksgiving day 2008. I was a bit reluctant to taste American-style food from a German restaurant but much to my amazement it was quite delicious. That really hit the nail on the head with the stuffing - it was delicious. I was only missing the mac 'n cheese, maybe next year they'll surprise me with it.

Thecfirst time I had the wiener schnitzel with mushroom and gravy, side salad, fries and of course a Guiness (my fav). The second trip I had the Indian chicken fingers with the garluc dippingbsauce and the curry dipping sauce (which is ketchup with a curry hint) and a Guiness. Absolutely delicious meals, surprisingly light and very filling. Highly recommend a visit! The dishes are ectremely readobably priced, servers speak English and are happy to recommend dishes to you based on your taste preference. One point worth noting is that the signage for this restaurant is a bit hidden, you'll see the red sign hanging but if you miss it look for "Dr lotte" which is written on the building. Also..it's across from starbucks!

At first I was a bit disappointed that they didn't offer Chicken Wings on their menu but then I saw their special Chicken Wings item written on a chalk board next to the counter. So we ordered the regular fried chicken with yangyeom sauce and the chicken wings. The one sin that you are not allowed to do is to overcook or undercook the chicken. Unfortunately the wings were a bit overcooked and therefore the meat was a tad too dry. At least they got the regular chicken spot on! Crunchy, juicy and tender chicken meat. The yangyeom sauce didn't taste like any yangyeom sauce I had in Korea or from authentic Korean restaurants in Düsseldorf but it still was yummy. The special sauce that was served with the wings was vinegary. Not bad but not what I hoped for. SERVICE I am sorry to say this but service looked quite unprofessional. The guy at the counter is a really nice dude but everything looked so unorganized and chaotic. That said service was fast and friendly. ATMOSPHERE Place is small but looks fun, young and fresh. I love it. RATING They could have gotten the full rating with ease but overcooked chicken wings are just a super hard no go. The only reason I give them four stars is because the other chicken was really good. I personally just wouldn't pick the yangyeom sauce again.

This was my first real German meal here and I gotta say it wasn't easy simply because nobody spoke English to us. After looking confused at the menu, the waitress brought me an English menu. Phew!!! I started off with the pancake soup. This was a good salty broth with lots of green onions and egg like pancake strips. The Asian in me desperately wanted a bowl of rice to mix into the soup! Only 3 euros and well worth it on a cold day. Bierstadels home made pan: two large pieces of thick pork seared perfectly! A cream mushroom sauce bathed in it. A large side of homemade spatzle (noodles) accompanied it. All in all, it was a good hearty dish but there was a strong, horseradish like flavor that I didn't like. Maybe other locals like this flavor but it just wasn't my cup of tea. I must say the pork was cooked perfectly! The Special: a softball size pork that seemed to be cooked in beer. Cooked to perfection! Again, beer in my pork is not my cup of tea, but my husband enjoyed it immensely. My kids chicken wings were super TASTY but there were only three wings :(. My daughters schnitzel was a good, large size with a great crunch but the middle was a bit soggy. Both came with great fries, slice of watermelon and my kids' fave, a lollipop! There's no ordinary water here, only sparking water with a small slice of lemon. There's a Biergarten outside so of course, a huge array of beer. There's no way to finish the meal on my plate, so they happily boxed up my meal. For us, service was ok... But I think the language barrier was the main reason for it. For all the other patrons who spoke German, it seemed like everyone was an old friend. They were however cordial and friendly. All in all... It was a 3.5 star experience but I'm feeling generous today. Their large portions definitely pushes it to 4 star range.
