I would definitely try the place again if time allows on my visit.

As a northerner stepping into a Southern-style spot, I have to agree with another Yelp reviewer…read moreabout the sweet tea. It's not that true Southern sweet tea you hear legends about -- the kind that practically hugs your soul and spikes your dentist's anxiety -- but honestly, it's not bad at all if you're trying to watch your sugar. Consider it "Midwest sweet." Polite. Respectable. Not trying to put you into a sugar coma. Now let's talk food. My kiddos ordered the popcorn chicken and mini dogs -- and as any parent knows, the highest culinary honor is the empty plate. They ate every last bite. From my 5-year-old, that's basically a Michelin star review. My husband had the BBQ burger. When asked for a detailed description, I received his usual top-tier food critique vocabulary: "It was good." I ordered the BBQ bacon chicken with tots. The tater tots deserve their own moment -- perfectly crisp, not oily, and seasoned just right. The chicken itself leaned a little on the dry side, but the BBQ sauce definitely stepped in and saved the day. Overall? I'd definitely stop here again -- especially over chain restaurant which seem to be the only other commonly options in the next town over. This place feels like the better pick when you want something satisfying without the big-chain blah.

Most of the time, I don't get the chance to leave a glowing review, so when I do, it makes me happy. Everything is homemade--not fast-food quality--and you can definitely taste the difference. Every dish was perfectly seasoned, and the meat was so tender. Oh my gosh, if I could eat it again right now, I would! If you go, get the buffet. It's absolutely worth it! Try a little of everything because it's all so good. And whatever you do, don't skip the soup bar or the desserts--they're amazing! Don't let the bad reviews keep you away. The restaurant was busy, everyone was laughing and enjoying themselves, and the atmosphere was wonderful. We had a fantastic experience and will definitely be back if we ever come this way again.

Food is prepared fresh, it's tasty and filling. Indeed among the best patty melts I have had anywhere in the nation. Fresh hand-made patties--cooked just right with a perfect amount of grilled onions. Homemade desserts too--the heath bar sheet cake was outstanding. You serve your own drinks--solid iced tea. My only complaint--they were out of tater tots and the crinkle fries were not consistently crisp. Lots of parking, for whatever you are driving.

The menus are covered in marker and hand writing. So obviously their prices were even cheaper at one point! 2 people was $24. They make all their BBQ in their pit right outside. Of course I got the BBQ jumbo sandwich. Which if you are hungry the jumbo isn't that large. You'll need some fries with it. Standard comes with pickles and chips. Bathrooms were surprisingly clean. I think east coasters are just pigs. There's been so many clean bathrooms out here. So try this place if you are somewhere near here but I cannot say drive out h

Clarendon is a small town (pop less than 1900), and Bendi's is a popular place. Peggy brought menus and coffee. My western omelet (w sausage chunks), home fries and toast, was excellent. Pig Feets had scrambled, pork chops, and a biscuit. Loved it. Prices ridiculous. His bill, w coffee, was $11. Mine $12.50. We both agreed everything was excellent, w the notable exception of coffee... very weak. But Clarendon seems like the type of town where they like their women strong and coffee weak. Overall,.4 stars
