While driving west on I-70, I saw a highway sign regarding restaurants and lodging. The Southside Benderz sounded interesting. Getting off at the Avon exit it took a bit of navigating. Avon has lots of roundabouts with very little signage. The front didn't look promising until I noticed the great looking well shaded patio. Walking inside, I was greeted by a large bar with comfortable seating. Up a short flight of stairs was another dining area and the kitchen. Unfortunately, they had only 1 server on a Monday afternoon, so the patio was not available. I was served by Monica. Her manager assisted. I sat in the upper room, starting with a draft of Pacifico. Nice big menu with standards you would expect in a burger place. Most of the customers were locals with a few groups of tourists. I ordered the single (6oz) burger with pepperjack cheese, mushrooms, jalapeños and small side of shoestring truffle fries. The burger came with lettuce, tomato and red onion for no additional charge. Very good burger, cooked medium. I asked Monica about their desserts. She recommended the chocolate cake. I got a large slice with fudge between the layers and on top for only $11. I skipped the vanilla ice cream. As I was paying the bill, I noticed an increasing number of servers arriving. Happy Hour is 2-530pm daily. They have drink specials Mon-Thur with extended hours on Thursday. They add a 4% Living Wage Fee for staff. Clean restrooms. read more

Eh. Came him in the summer so it's off season. Bunch a locals. Got seated in the back patio which is great. Service was fine. Took a bit to get our kids milkshakes but the real bummer was the food. I thought the burgers were one of this places staples but both mine and my wife's were under seasoned, the bun was cold, grilled onions were also cold and barely grilled and just not good which was a disappointment. Best thing we had was the waffle fries which were crispy and well seasoned. read more

The server failed to mention that the sides were not included in the price. It sounded like they were included based on what was said to us. I felt scammed in that sense. The food was great and we ordered too much food because of that so we wasted a lot of it. Atmosphere was great, too! Just beware the pricing! I felt like I had a bunch of hidden fees after I was done with the meal. Wasn't very happy about it. read more

Wish they had a vegetarian option on their happy hour (besides the fried mac stomach bombs). Pretty casual and don't bother if you're in a rush - but you can't beat a $3 pint and 3.5 hour happy hour! Staff is nice too read more

Solid burger joint. Not horrible but not great. Service was good and the fries were tasty.

A little hard to find but worth looking for! Parking is not great so take whatever spot you can. Lots of good beers, fast service and the burgers are good (if pricy). My wife got the Mac and cheese and it was amazing. Would come back for sure (3 people, 1 beer =$100 tax and tip) read more

Came here with some friends before a show this weekend and it was the perfect casual spot for a quick bite. We all went super basic with orders like quesadilla, buffalo wings, chicken tenders and some fries. Everything was good!! Super classic no real frills needed type of spot. Awesome pickle shots and the sweet potato fries are amazing and sprinkled with brown sugar. Service was fine but it was super snowy and busy! Would return :) read more

Tucked behind the Christy sports, southside alley, this burger joint is a gem. Great little sports bar with super tacos and hamburgers. Burgers were cooked just right with flavorful seasoning. We tried Al Pastor tacos, Fish tacos and all of us also had hamburgers. I had a fried egg and jalapeños on mines. They have a happy hour specials so check the website read more

Overpriced food, I paid almost $30 for a burger with fries and drink, wait wasn't too long but the floor was super dirty. Burger was unseasoned and greasy, fries were also the same wouldn't come back again read more

Good happy hour. Tasty food and home to $3.00 Pints! Staff was friendly. Had some decent sized TVs to watch.

Loved all the tv's. Cool vibe. Service and food needs improvement. Service was extremely slow and communication about menu items and order was challenging. Food was not great. We had nachos, burger, and fries. Saw a guy in the food prep line grab fries with his gloved hand and throw them in his mouth for a snack. That was funny. read more

We make sure to stop and grab a bite whenever we're in Avon! Always great food and great service.

This was the worst experience I've had in a long time. Bartender forgot our appetizer and then tried to charge us for it. Ignored us the whole time. Food was over cooked and gross. Never again read more

Really awesome burgers at a great price. I got a double but almost everyone will be fine with a single. It's was $12 plus $1.25 for cheese and $2.50 for bacon. We got a large truffle fries for $6.50 that we shared. Totally awesome fries. You order at the counter and they bring the food you. read more

This was my first visit to Southside Benderz. We stopped by on a Wednesday night which happens to be their trivia night. We sat in the upper dining area as the lower section was packed for trivia. The casual atmosphere was great. Lots of families dining around us. We went in winter so we didn't get to enjoy the patio but, from what we would see it looked super cute. We got fried pickle chips to start which came with a nice sauce. The breading on the pickles was quite salty so I was only able to eat a few. I got the greens and grain salad, it was very fresh tasting and the candied pecans added a nice little touch. My husband got the Buffalo wrap. Even though the menu stated the wrap was hot, my husband said it had nice flavor and was not spicy hot. We got a side of tater tots that were cooked to perfection!! "Side" seems relative as the portion was very large but we weren't complaining as they were so good. read more

Great burgers, nice thick delicious patty size. Good service and they had live music and lots of TVs to catch games on.

Food and service was good we ordered a kids meal, 2 cheeseburgers with a basket of waffle fries and a beer. very good!! $53 total read more

Best burger in town, excellent staff , quick and you gotta love the vaulted ceilings!

We often go to benders and we get the burgers which are awesome but today we got this El Pastor taco kit. It was by far one of the best taco kits in the valley comes up all the sides you build your own tacos and enough food for two definitely recommend checking out this dish when you go to Bender next time read more

I won't go back. Service is terrible. I ordered a grilled fish taco and it was inedible. Another time I ordered the fish taco dinner, and the rice and beans came in tiny condiments cups. The food is laughable coupled with bad service, why bother? read more

We grabbed dinner and a glass of wine while we watched football. Not too loud, lots of screens and the food was delish. The staff was really nice and accommodating as we had a newborn with us. Looking forward to going back and trying more off the menu. read more

We had an amazing time at Benderz! The food came quick and did not disappoint. We each had the 6oz burger and shared the truffle fries, and all of it was very tasty. Drinks were great as well! Service was outstanding, very attentive! We sat outside and it was very secluded even though it is close to the railroad tracks that is no longer in use. Nice that they have privacy fencing around the eating area outside. The ambiance is awesome even inside. Would definitely recommend! read more

This place should be great but isn't. Carried out patty melt that lacked the 1000 Island. And they can't quite figure out fries (soft/limp). A decent Philly Cheese, but Craftsman is better. I hope they look closely and make the tweaks read more

Super cool place. We came during COVID but were able to get seated without an issue. They have an indoor and outdoor area. We sat outside and it was really nice. The food was extremely good! I went with a group of 8 people and we had a variety of appetizers, drinks, soft drinks, and main dishes. We all enjoyed our food and the service was great as well. read more

I sat at my table for 15 minutes before anyone even acknowledged me despite my server making eye contact with me several times. Once I got my burger, the fries were cold and the presentation was terrible. One small piece of cheese ( which was 1.50) only covered 1/3 of the burger and wasn't even centered or melted. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Let me preface this by saying I'm vegetarian, so I can't attest to the quality of the regular burgers. Located in the same spot as the Boxcar restaurant, Benderz has an updated layout, with a large bar. I ordered an impossible burger with Pepperjack Cheese, lettuce, and tomato (no 2000 island-dressing). The burger was ok. Impossible burgers are good, but the bun left a lot to be desired. I split an order of truffle fries, which were the highlight of the meal, but once again, nothing spectacular. Overall, my experience was ok- I don't have any desire to return again. read more

Amazing burgers! Think it's a bit silly to pay $2 for each added topping (ex. mushrooms, grilled onions, jalapeños), I mean it's a resort town so expected I suppose. Despite that, I still highly recommend. read more

Southside might be the best happy hour in the valley. They have excellent burgers and cajun waffle fries, but I wasn't a fan of their fish tacos. I'm also a fan of their fried green beans. They have great burger and beer specials for HH and even have NFL Sunday ticket, so you can watch all the NFL games there. I think they also have the NHL equivalent, but I don't really watch hockey. The service is generally pretty good. Everyone has an off day right? The parking can be a little annoying, but there is additional parking on the other side of the building, and you can then walk through the outdoor seating area. It does get pretty busy at times as well. Southside is a staple in Avon and with cheap burgers and beers, it should remain on everyone's list. read more

Very rough start to our experience - we went for happy hour around 4pm hoping to have a few drinks and an early dinner. We waited nearly 30 minutes before we were given a drink, had to ask for menus, were never told exactly what was on the happy hour menu. We were given many excuses for the slow service, mainly due to shift change and that the bartender was trying to catch up before his shift ended. Once that bartender was done with his shift, we finally were able to order a meal. The second bar tender was great, very friendly and attentive. The food was typical bar food: the wings were quite large, tacos were a decent size (could've used some kind of toppings), burger was good and the truffle fries were great. read more

Went to Southside Benderz for one of the football specials that were advertised in yesterday and today's paper. When I asked about it we were told that it's only during football season. I looked up on their TV's and 2 games on. One pro, one college. False advertising Look at the add. read more

Arrived with a child and still had to ask for a kids menu, waited 10 minutes before being greeted by our waitress, Milkshake machine was "broke", no silverware, had to follow up to ask for our drinks and a refill of water. Proactive service was lacking. Food was average. read more

We finally found an affordable place where the food is actually delicious. Place is packed with locals and we love it here. Great fast service and no waiting.

We were driving up to Christy's sports and I saw the $3 man-sized tacos advertisement, which piqued my interest after a long day at Beaver Creek. Walked into the restaurant and was surprised that it ended up being a sports bar, but wasn't disappointed. Looked like they had plenty of beers on tap, a lot of TVs and all the games on. I ordered the tacos mentioned above from the happy hour menu. They only have a carnitas or a ground beef option and the quality is just about what you're paying for them. They're advertised as seemingly large (man-sized, right?) but they're just a bit bigger than a standard street taco. They each had a salsa on them that was very overpowering, just tasted like jalapeño pepper. Probably to cover up the lack of seasoning on the meat. There was also a fish taco option for like a dollar more. Those came out soggy and over battered. Similar to the other tacos, the only flavor came from the topping. I'd come back here to drink beers and watch sports, but I'd probably eat elsewhere. Definitely not eating off the happy hour menu again. read more

Awesome burgers. Awesome waffle Cajun fries (reminded me of Arby's curly fries). The food was so good we came back again a few days later. Friendly service. Much more reasonable prices compared to other mountain restaurants. read more

Most of the food is unbeatable. We ordered an order to go as this restaurant was recommended to us. We had to throw out half the order as it was either overcooked and soggy. Management said they would make it right by refunding our meal and giving us a gift card so we could have a good experience. Well management is not true to word as no refund has been issued and it has been 5 days. Also. 15 % gratuity for takeout is absurd. I would not recommend this restaurant read more

Hit the spot after a day in the snow! Enjoyed their NFL football menu burger+beer deal! $9 for burger and any draft beer! Added blue cheese to my burger for $1 although you can add other things such as bacon for $3 or an egg for $3. The burger was cooked to my liking and was super delicious and filling! Such an incredible deal and definitely would recommend for lunch or dinner. read more
