We had the pan seared walleye, and it was some of the best fish I've ever tasted...fresh and perfectly seasoned. The service was prompt and the staff was super friendly. It was such a good experience I told my wife "I've got to give them a 5 star review" and was shocked when I saw the two 1 star reviews from last year. I'm not sure what happened there, but our experience was fantastic. If we lived locally we'd be back!

We both ordered burgers, one we topped with cheddar, fried onions, and green olives, the other was topped with pepper jack, bacon, fried onions, and mushrooms. Both were very good! We've decided you must have bacon on the burger. We also ordered onion rings with one of the burgers, and those were good - crispy and warm. Our server was friendly, and when we got our check, another server (the owner's mother) asked how our food was. She found out that it was our anniversary, and she brought us out a dessert. It was really sweet!

My husband is trying to stick to a "heart healthy" diet and the server, Mike, was so accommodating in helping him put together the perfect meal. (The server was also the bartender and owner, nice guy). Jackie also served us and she was super nice and efficient as well. We also had the soup and salad bar which was very tasty and fresh ingredients. We will definitely be back

The pizzas took a little time to come out but it was worth it. The inside was busy but not crowded. There is a dog friendly patio but it was cool out so we didn't sit there. Parking was no problem because the downtown had already rolled up their sidewalks (ha ha). Over the years we haven't had very good luck with places to eat in walker. We will be back to Bensons to try some of their fare. Try it!

Omg! We came in hungry and my husband and I couldn't decide on what size pizza to order. There are…read moresizes displayed on the wall and they honestly look like small, medium, and large. We can typically split a large (4 slices each) when hungry and the price point wasn't too bad for a lake town. Welllll the 18-inch was giant and we only ate half- be warned that the 14 inch was perfect for 2 hungry people, and the 18 inch would definitely feed 4 at least! Pros: pizza was pretty fast and yummy (especially after a day at the lake and driving up north), service was friendly, the boat table we sat at was neat. Cons: it took a while to be seated due to some confusion/ some parties waiting for their checks, it was very hot in the restaurant, bathrooms were pretty dirty (hair in the sink, trash overflowing, and no paper towel), and the pizza flavor was just meh. We ordered a pizza with pineapple, jalapeño, and buffalo chicken but the pineapple tasted canned and the chicken wasn't saucy and flavored. It hit the spot but wasn't anything to write home about. Would have been better with a drizzle of ranch or barbecue.

The lobster rolls were really good, thought they were made from fake crab at first but suppose to be lobster shreds, never had a lobster roll before but would like to soon, you know the ones with big chunks of buttery lobster. It was good, came with North Atlantic lobster shreds mayo base with celery, lettuce and tomatoes and ol bay seasoning on the best sub rolls ever, yes I would buy again, but, does it taste authentic probably not, wild rice soup-all I can say INEDIBLE, had this twangy taste along with funky flour, couldn't even describe it so it went in the trash and I was so happy we had the soup on the side so the wonderful bread bowl was not ruined. I made my own quick version of chicken wild rice soup that made its way into a wonderful soft crispy bread bowl. Lobster rolls were $9.99 each and the bread bowl and soup $8.99. Called to see how much just the bread bowls are figured I buy the bread bowls and put my own soup in. They said $9.75. REALLY!!

This place is adorable! From the exterior it doesn't look like much. I must confess I drove by it…read moremultiple times for almost 3 weeks before I finally stopped in. As soon as I walked in I kicked myself for not stopping sooner! The interior is cozy with plenty of seating areas and seating styles. From couches to chairs, and everything in between. They even have a cute little fireplace that I imagine would be lovely to sit next to on a cold winter day with a nice warm drink in your hand! The baristas are wonderful. Even when they have a line in drive thru and a line at the counter they keep things moving with speed and efficiency. Thus far I've tried the S'mores Latte (perfection) and the sugar caramel chai latte (delicious). The make your own breakfast sandwich is ALWAYS delicious. I plan on stopping here every day that I'm here for the next week. Love it, don't let the exterior fool you like it fooled me!!!

The hamburger steak was just some little dried up hamburger on the plate with some vegetables that were actually cold. They felt like they just came out of the refrigerator. I wanted to tell the waitress that I preferred my vegetables to be warm but she never came back until dinner was over and brought the bill. When I brought it to her attention she paid no attention. I also asked for more iced tea and she came back with more tea but neglected to add any ice. $16.99 for this meal was definitely too much. Sad to say that after many years of eating here - we won't be back.

A few minutes after that I saw two tables get seated and waitresses bringing them water and telling them that day's specials. At that point we walked out.

My husband and I recently went through the drive-thru to order meals for ourselves and our two…read morechildren. As we reached the window to pay, my husband politely asked the same employee who took our order if we could add a chocolate shake. Her response was, "We don't add on to orders up here." This was puzzling, so we asked again for clarification, and she reiterated that we would need to drive back around to place a new order--even though there were no other cars in line. In an effort to accommodate the request without causing further disruption, we backed up in the drive-thru and placed a separate order for the shake. When we reached the window again, we noticed one of the kids' meals was missing from our original order. The same employee insisted we had not ordered two kids' meals and again seemed unwilling to correct the issue. Only after some back and forth did she reluctantly add it, but not before making a rather unprofessional comment: "This is the last time we are going to add on to your order." To be clear, we were not asking for anything unreasonable--just the basic flexibility and courtesy that should accompany any customer service interaction. We left feeling as though we were treated as an inconvenience rather than paying guests. While I understand the demands of fast food service, professionalism, respect, and a willingness to help should not be optional--regardless of the position held. If this individual were representing my business, I would be deeply concerned about the impression being left with customers.
