    Fine selection of wine
    Andy A.

    This delightful family run restaurant has put Anderson on the map. Menu items made from scratch; no cisco products used. Excellent meals reasonably priced. Friendly clean atmosphere.

    Delightful service Clean dining area and menus Flavorful food Wonderful presentation Off the beaten path but worth the experience.

    These Mahi Mahi tacos were bomb!  Just the right amount of heat, aioli sauce was killer. Service was excellent.. 5*!

    It was a genuine treat to find Beni's for dinner on our road trip. The proximity to I-5 makes it an excellent stop for delicious "home made style food". Our favorites were the house made cheese ravioli with a lovely tomato sauce and the lemony risotto with generous pieces of shrimp and cheesy goodness. We complimented our meal with a lovely salad with sesame vinaigrette, wine and a quite tasty wine margarita. There's something special about supporting a family business which makes food with fresh ingredients "in house" - highly recommend if you are in the Redding area. Oh, be sure to ask for one of the padded booths if you make a reservation.

    I just had one of the best birthday dinners at Beni's. This restaurant hasn't been open very long and the owners spent months refurbishing the restaurant. The decor is pleasing with wood tables and a couple of booths. The menu has a nice variety of dishes and they also had a special. I started with the chicken chorizo tortilla soup. This was served piping hot and very tasty. This soup had plenty of protein and just the right amount of spice. I had the Birria sandwich special. This was packed full of meat and flavor. My wife had the risotto with chicken and she said the flavor was spot on. Also the serving size surprised me for how big it was. Two at our table had the house made ravioli. Tender and tasty, the marinara had just the right spices. The ravioli came with soft and flavorful house made rolls. Our servers were super attentive and friendly. This is definitely a family run establishment that cares for their customers. We will definitely be going back.

    So... I thought I knew what brunch was. I thought I'd seen it all - eggs, bacon, a mimosa or two. But then came Beni... and now I realize I've been living a lie. My family and I wandered in on a random Tuesday, expecting a decent meal. What we got was a full-blown flavor intervention. Let's talk about that lemon shrimp risotto- I'm still emotionally recovering. Creamy, citrusy, perfectly cooked shrimp - each bite was like being hugged by a gourmet angel. I honestly considered standing up and applauding mid-bite. And the French toast with chutney?? Who even thinks of that? Beni, apparently. The chutney was so good I was this close to asking if I could bathe in it. Bottom line: Beni is a culinary rockstar. If you're not brunching at Beni's, you're just eating breakfast. And frankly, that's a tragedy.

    This was a great stop on my drive back from California to Seattle. The location right off I-5 is…read moresuper convenient, and there's plenty of parking, which is always a plus when you're traveling. The staff were very pleasant -- I was greeted cheerfully right when I entered. The inside has a classic diner atmosphere, relaxed and welcoming, exactly as shown in the photos. I ordered the BLT sandwich with added avocado, fries as my side, and a salad from the side menu. Everything tasted fresh and hit the spot after a long drive. The portions were generous and very satisfying. Perfect stop for travelers looking for good food, friendly service, and easy access from the freeway. Highly recommend!

    Solid breakfast. Nothing fancy. Partner had the English muffin breakfast sandwich. The sausage…read morepatty was the star, it was big juicy and yummy. They should use something other than the super processed cheap American cheese though, that was a big chemical tasting distraction from an otherwise good sandwich. I had two eggs with hashbrows and an English muffin. I asked for my eggs to be soft scrambled...and they were perfect. That is not usual as soft scrambled is very hard to do right. The hashbrowns were frozen (so are the country potatoes according to the server) so not horrible but not great. My English muffin was toasted well and buttered well so points for that. Service was also nice and prompt. We would come again if in the area.

    what a fun find! easy stop off the freeway, close parking and quick service. the staff was very…read morefriendly and attentive. the ambiance was cute with a couple tables outside. and the food was fresh and delicious! absolutely a great stop when driving along I5

    We really wanted to like this place but the experience was mixed:…read more 1) location - only a few chairs inside and no tables, only 2 person tables outside and you can't push tables together (we were told to stop when we tried), and no bathroom 2) food - the smoothies were terrible. Two of us got the tropical smoothie which has the exact ingredients I use at home for a tasty smoothie and we commented that it tasted like water. Only smoothie I've ever had but tasted like iced water! As we were talking about it, another patron who got the same smoothie came up and asked "was your smoothie terrible too? It tasted like water." The only thing I can think of is that they ran out of fruit and used mostly ice with a little bit of coconut milk and then a couple pieces of frozen pineapple and frozen strawberry. The bacon was very, very thin and not great either. The avocado toast in general was OK but definitely not four or five star 3. Service - the service was not expressly unfriendly, but it was definitely not friendly either. We were given just the information that was needed, but there wasn't any warmth, conversation, or welcoming spirit. There was no apology when mentioning that they didn't have bathroom facilities and no solution represented until we asked further questions where a bathroom might be nearby. The same when we pushed two tables together outside, so our family could sit together - - there was no apology that it was a city rule that we couldn't do that and they understood the inconvenience. Just simply a please separate the tables it's not allowed. 4. Value - given the low quality flavor in the food, the poor ambience, facilities, and the unfriendly service - - the price for the items purchased in TY. Overall, we'd say it was a poor value and it is not a place we swing by again. Given that we directly came because of the positive reviews, we wanted to share our experience, the vacillated between two and four stars, depending on which member of the family you asked
