I've been to Ben Benson's a couple of times and I've always had great experiences there and eaten great steak. Along with the food, the staff has always been fantastic as well. This place does it right! more

For the price, I found the food disappointing. The filet tasted like a regular steak cooked up on the backyard grill. The mashed potatoes were crumbly, not smooth and moist as mashed potatoes should be. Our server was unfriendly and borderline rude. The whole experience was overwhelmingly disappointing. Don't waste your evening or your money here. more

The prices are pretty... more

I posted a gallagher's steakhouse review also. I was going to go there, but the reservationist was so rude I decided to go Ben Bensons. This place is great. Nice workers, good food and just pleasant. There was no rush and I had a great time before going to a show afterwards. I highly recommend this place. This day and... more

Steak is good, but why not also try the Lobster cakes on Friday, the Prime Rib on Tuesday, the Ribs or my favorite the Fried Chicken. more
