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

When I asked if they had a black bean patty, the server told me they are not "fancy" like that here. The comment felt unnecessary and a bit rude. They also did not offer any other vegetarian options, so I ended up ordering the cheese quesadillas. The quesadillas were not good. The cheese was melted on top as well as inside, which did not add anything to the dish. Other than that, the service was okay, but the lack of simple vegetarian choices and the attitude toward my request made the whole visit underwhelming. I hope Benson's can add a few easy vegetarian options and train the staff to handle these requests with more care.

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.

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.

At about the 10 minute mark my GF commented on how no one had been by. The young man who seated us asked a server to see us. About 15 minutes later we still had not been given water or even been seen by a waitress. 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. I understand that being helped can take awhile when it's busy, but people seated after you being helped before you should never ever happen. If I could give negative stars I would.

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.
