There's easy parking out front, both indoor and outdoor seating, and a modern, clean interior with a great EDM soundtrack playing in the background. The service was very attentive. I tried the Korean BBQ tacos, which were flavorful and satisfying. My only criticism is that I would have preferred to be served on an actual plate rather than in a to-go box while dining in. If you're passing through the area, this place is worth seeking out for a good meal.

Stopped by Benton Station the other day for lunch. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger and fries…read more Unfortunately, the fryer was down for deep cleaning so they substituted a bag of Lays chips. Actually, this is an option for many menu items if you don't want fries. It saves you a couple of bucks and maybe a half-inch off the waistline. The 1/2 lb burger was well cooked, the bacon was tasty, and the lettuce, tomato, pickles, and onions were crisp and fresh! I've visited several times over the seven years I've lived in the area and have always had a good experience. Make sure to try the pies if you have room for dessert... or maybe just have dessert instead? They completed a slight remodel a year and a half ago. Nothing major but the place looks nice and clean inside. The kitchen also received completely new appliances and a makeover. There's a small market attached if you need drinks or other sundries for the road. Gas pumps are outside and I think they got new ones recently as they appear to be an improvement over the old ones which were hard to read. Be careful as this is a remote out-of-the-way location so you'll find higher gas prices than elsewhere. Located at the intersections of Highways 6 and 120, Benton Station is owned by the Benton Paiute Tribe. Bishop is 35 miles south, about a half-hour by car. Tonopah, Nevada is 80 miles east, about an hour and 15 minutes drive. Hawthorne, Nevada is 84 miles north, an hour and 20 minutes. Mammoth Lakes via Highway 120 and Benton Crossing Road is 46 miles west, almost an hour's drive. The eastern entrance to Yosemite National Park (at the top of Tioga Pass via Highway 120) is 62 miles away, a little over an hour. If you're in the area and hunger is gnawing at your stomach stop by Benton Station for a bite and a little rest. They're open for breakfast and lunch only!

You should stop here if you want a great meal. Breakfast burrito is my go to food in any Mexican place, but the mushroom burger and tacos here were really good. An old lady is the one making them, I'm not sure but I think she is the owner. The food was filling, large enough portion was served and the price is kinda cheap in my opinion. It's like finding an oasis in the middle of nowhere. You can only eat outside, so be prepared for that. The people were amazing and the food, muy delicioso! read more

Jeanine Zane built the business and the food was the best. Soccorrio straight eventually bought the business and food was still very good. Under new ownership now and food is still great. Just beware sandwiches do not come w fries. Have to order separate. and the steak in Philly can be a little touch. read more

He was very nice and gave us a great deal for having to wait longer and gave us a free drink since we were eating at the establishment. It's a nice little place.
