First off, currently a food truck, with outside seating. They are doing construction on the restaurant right now. Secondly, $40 for two burgers and fries. Thirdly, I'd go back tomorrow if I lived around here. The most delicious cheeseburger and fries I've ever had. What kind of cheese, I don't know, type of bacon? Got me. Just the most delicious beef patty (grass fed I'm sure) sauces, and bacon/cheese combination ever. We came because they cook their fries in grass fed beef tallow, and boy can you tell. The fries and the seasoning on them paired wonderfully with a garlic aioli sauce. Look I mentioned the $40, but you could spend $100 on a steak somewhere, and you wouldn't be eating this good. Can't wait until I'm in town again. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place! Every bite was absolutely delicious. I had the Benchmark Burger with fries, Mac and cheese bites, and steak fries--all cooked to perfection in beef tallow, which made everything extra flavorful and crispy. The burger was mouth watering and packed with flavor, the fries were perfectly golden and seasoned with their concoction of spicy, and the Mac and cheese bites were rich and satisfying. You can really taste the quality and care in their food. Great service, cozy outside seating only (they are expanding into the building but currently running out of a food truck) and definitely a spot I'll be coming back to! So delicious we didn't even have time for a photo, portions and esthetic of food get a too. Everything is in high quality Togo containers as they do not have kitchen facilities yet to wash dishes. read more

First french fries I have eaten in ages. Made with grass fed tallow, NOT body destroying canola oil. So wonderful to have an excellent food source with so many great menu choices. On my first visit I tried the steak frites, side salad and each of their sauces. Sooo good! Can't decide which sauce is best cause they're all so yummy. To top it off the people there are super friendly and helpful. Am looking forward to many more meals from Benchmark while in town. read more

Woot Woot! Their french fries are fried in BEEF TALLOW !!! Such a rare/ awesome find and super delish. I've been in town for two days so far and had to come for fries both days because it's just that good. THE BEST service and the outdoor seating is such a vibe. Can't say enough nice things about this spot! You gotta come eat here... DO IT! read more

TOP SPOT here in Lake Havasu! Everything here is delicious, you can't go wrong. They also cook everything in beef tallow which is also a huge bonus!! No bad seed oils and adds amazing flavor! Their crispy chicken is the best I've ever had.. the chicken bacon ranch sandwich, the jasmine plate add crispy chicken - ALWAYS made with extra love. Poke is delicious. Their fries are always so flavorful, the homemade ranch is mind boggling! The steak and chimichurri, amazing. Also a big fan of their burgers, unique flavors that definitely stand out from the rest. Also, if you ever get the chance to try their homemade cookies, DO IT. You're missing out if you don't give this place a try! Another bonus, the owners are so friendly and genuinely care about their customers and business. read more

The brisket burger is delicious and the fry's are cooked in tallow instead of bad oils which is awesome! Staff is super friendly to!

Food was absolutely amazing. I got the CBRC sandwich and it was one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had and the fries tasted amazing as well I almost liked the fries more than the sandwich. The lady that served us I think her name was Racheal but her service was great and she even gave us extra fries since we all ordered our own side of fries and didn't want to share with each other. read more

Amazing food!! No matter what you order, everything is so good! I highly recommend the OG Burger

Let's talk about the newest, most refreshingly amazing culinary experience Lake Havasu has had the pleasure of stuffing in its pie hole...Benchmark!!!! I'm absolutely having a love affair with the poke...don't tell my wife, but she probably suspects something...The Benchmark burger is OFF THE HOOK delicious! The steak and fries...seriously the steak is tender and delicious and the fries are seasoned with some kind of insane chefs blend of highly addictive substance, I don't know what, and I don't care I'm going back for more! The Shishito peppers with Bonito flakes???!!! YES PLEASE!!!! You want something new, something amazing, something fresh and delicious???!!! Well it's here, so why are you not? Whew!!!...wait...did I mention the poke??? read more

15/10, one of the best burgers I've ever had. Finally tried Benchmark after seeing amazing reviews and friends telling me I have to try it. From the moment I placed the order with Rachel to stuffing my mouth, I've been super happy. The food is incredible, the service, even better. Do yourself a favor, try this restaurant!!! read more
