Excellent food, great prices and friendly staff. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.

The employees of this restaurant are awful. My wife interviewed for a position there yesterday and was asked when she could start. She happily told them she could start Friday. She was told they would have the manager in charge of scheduling call her that afternoon to work out the hours she would be needed. When the time came and went without a call, she called them and was told that the manager had the day off and they would have him call the next day (today). She called today and was told to hold on, but then was hung up on. She thought, maybe they were busy, so she called back later and they kept hanging up on her. Eventually someone told her she was "mental" and they would write down her number so no one would answer her calls anymore. That is unacceptable behavior. She thought the interview went well and was told she would start tomorrow. She just needed to know what hours she would be there. I don't care if the food is good, there is no reason to treat someone like that. read more

We went there for lunch yesterday. It was our first time there and we really enjoyed it. The decor is very nice and the place was clean. The server did a great job and was very friendly. The food was delicious and all 3 of us got a lunch special and thought the price was also great and plenty of it. I got the chicken parm and it came with a very nice side salad and garlic bread. My husband got the mini cheesesteak sub and fries which also came with a drink. He loved it. Our other friend got spaghetti any way you want it and he wanted meatballs. He took half home but loved every bite. We will definitely return. read more

Cheese sticks were great. Marinara was a little on the sweet side, but complemented the cheese sticks well. Fried mushrooms were the same as you can get anywhere. Pizza was good, a little under cooked, but tasty. read more

Everything was amazing and the staff were so kind and made sure everything was correct. I now love to eat from here because of the environment! read more

Excellent Philly Cheesesteak with extra cheese. Highly recommend Bennys and I'm a picky eater especially when it comes to Philly Cheesesteaks. French Fries were also excellent. read more

Had a pizza party other night. Got pizza from 5 different places plus homemade. just to taste the difference.... BENNY'S WON !!!!! read more

Great service from a stand-alone Italian restaurant. While the salad was a little boring (Caesar with the dressing on the side?), the garlic bread loaf was excellent. For main course, I went with the day's pasta special as it was described very well by the waitress. Spinach ravioli with grilled chicken in a pumpkin cream sauce. Why not? When it arrived, I was pleased. A good portion, at a good temperature and well plated. It was delicious and I ended up using the last of the garlic bread to scoop up the tasty sauce. A great meal, good service, nice price. I'm sold! read more

We enjoyed our dinner here. We started with the fried calamari, which was OK. For my entree, I had the salmon & crab over pasta, which was OK (though the salmon was overcooked). My husband had the shrimp with pasta, which he was very happy with. Our waitress, Martha, was attentive & pleasant. read more

The food was terrible. Their chicken parmigiana was the kids chicken tenders, overcooked, covered in red sauce and some half melted cheese. It smelled awful and had to be thrown out. read more

Stopped here for lunch. We had eaten here years ago & when you walked in you could smell delicious Italian food... that's what's lacking now. Apparently it's under new ownership. The food was good but not outstanding. I had an Italian panini & my husband hand the Italian cold cut sub. Both came with 'homemade' chips. The chips were stale & maybe 4 out of the whole pike actually crunched. Sigh. read more

I have eaten here one time and enjoyed every slice of pizza I had. It's always been busy and I recommend your checking it out.

Not sure if ownership changed but sure seems like that way. Ordered Margherita Pizza, pizza came to the table as a cheese pizza, no fresh mozzarella dollops and zero I mean zero sauce. The crust was flavorless, dough was certainly not the same as I remember. Also ordered steak fajitas and quesadillas which weren't bad but also not great either. The service was also slow and waitress keep bringing us wrong refills. The A/C must have been broke because it was just as hot inside as outside. Unfortunately my family will not be coming back to Benny's. The quality, service and experience has changed for the worse. Sad to see such a nice little restaurant decline. read more

The calamari was too crispy. I could barely taste the squid and octopus. The eggplant parmigiana was greasy and not tasty in the least bit. The spaghetti was also a pass. read more

After having dinner at this place a couple of times (take-out) for work, I am pleased. Calling in was easy and the person was pleasant. Food was ready when they said it would be, and orders correct. They clearly use quality ingredients and don't cut corners. Food was always fresh tasting and delicious. They have a good amount to choose from on their menu. I can't say how the dine-in service is, as I haven't experienced that. But when you walk in to pick-up, you're greeted warmly. This is a small place that may be easy to miss if you're flying down Route 30, but they have great food, so make a point to stop sometime! read more

The pizza was sized appropriately with decent crust. The cheese is decent quality and it was not over or undercooked. One of the better pies in the Chambersburg area. We also got the fried onion rings which actually were spectacular. read more

I ordered a pizza with no onions, the person in change offering a supreme pizza and I said no I just want Veggie no onions, and when I took it home and ready to eat, the pizza was cover completely with onions and it wasn't cooked thru I have to throw it away. read more

Great food. Have to try thePizza and Benny's bomb cheesesteak. Also if you like garlic, the garlic knots are amazing.

The food was delicious! We looked for a restaurant on yelp. And the reviews for Benny's looked good. We were not disappointed. We had: *Fried Calamari: it was tender and cooked perfectly. Freshly cut and fried, not frozen, not rubber-bands. The sauce was seasoned well. *Shrimp Alfredo: it was also tender and cooked perfectly. The sauce was delicious and the pasta was cooked just right. *Shrimp Parmesan: Again the shrimp was tender. The sauce was a rustic sauce with chopped tomatoes and fresh basil. The tomatoes were so sweet. Loved the sauce. *Garlic Bread: on a rustic Italian loaf. And delicious! *Cannoli: as good as Little Italy in NYC!! read more

literally waited here for three hours for my food. There was one guy running the entire show, taking orders getting drinks and cooking the food. What kind of owners are these people? Even took them an hour to bring a little cup of catch-up over to our table. Ordered a normal dinner and didn't even get my side salad before my lunch. Special. I didn't do nothing I was polite. The people that came after me got their food before me. This is an unacceptable service. I'd rather eat dirt. read more

Under the new ownership Bennys has gone to crap. Orders don't get put in, you show up and the food isn't even started, online orders get lost somehow and the food never gets made but you get charged, then you gotta sit and wait for them to make it... it's sad bc when Benny ran it, this never happened. The food is not consistent at all from one order to the next. Hopefully they get it figured out, or the ship is gonna sink ASAP read more

Use to love this place but anymore everything is salted so much I can't make it through the salt taste. They were very good at one time but haven't went back read more

Food is decent, service and management is terrible. I waited an hour and five min for my order, only to have people who ordered after me to get their food. After asking what was going on with my order, the manager became smart and belligerent with me. He lied to me about my order, saying the system was down, when it clearly wasn't. I sat and watched them finally make my hoagies after waiting all this time. I was not offered a coupon or nothing. They clearly are unorganized and lie. Never will eat there again. read more

I'm sorry to rain on Benny's parade, but the lunch we had there on Saturday, Feb. 12, 2010, was very disappointing. We picked Benny's because of Yelper's reviews, but now I'm wondering, did we eat at the same restaurant? For instance, it was a good fifteen minutes after we ordered that we saw our salads and bread. I read a lot about how wonderful the bread is, but this is pizza dough, baked in loaf-like pillows. Ours wasn't browned or crusty at all. Just soft, salty, and, well, bland. As for the salads, they were iceberg lettuce with hothouse tomato slices, onions and radish slices. Cold and crisp, which is good, but certainly nothing to write home about. What shocked me was the entree. It's supposed to be an Italian restaurant, so I ordered spaghetti and sausage, but what arrived in a bowl looked like more like spaghetti soup. Fat, water-logged noodles jn watery sauce. But the worst was the "sausage." What passes as sausage at Benny's are thin, pepperoni-like slices of faux sausage, bland stuff designed to be put on top of a pizza. It was not the link of Italian sausage I expected. I don't know how any self-respecting Italian restaurant could put out a dish like that and call it spaghetti and sausage, but apparenty, Benny's does. As for my wife's chicken parmigiana, she literally had to drain the water off the plate onto her salad plate before she could proceed to eat it, and she left most of the spaghetti untouched. This wasn't good food. We should have sent both dishes back, but I just couldn't do that to the young man who served us. But here, the gloves are off. read more

My parents took me here after a long hike in the nearby mountains. This place is little and unassuming, but it is surprisingly good! The service was very professional and the decor was nice. I didn't expect too much from the food, and I was ravenously hungry, but I was really nicely surprised. An artichoke and roasted red pepper pizza with mushrooms was about the best pizza I ever had on a thin, fresh crust. Too bad the leftovers ended up on the floormat of my car as some jerk pulled out in front of me on the way home. Oh well, just another reason to visit Benny's again soon! read more

Not sure why this place is still open. My friend recommended this place as one of her favorites. I did not share that opinion. The food was overpriced. My family got pizza it was soggy and just unedible. I got a salad that was watered down and greasy. We called ahead and still had to wait, but the place was empty. We waited about 1 hr for a cheese pizza and a chef's salad. The guy that rung up the order was rude and just clueless. Will NEVER return-too many other good pizza places in the area! read more

Very good food I had the calamari and it was cooked perfectly. My meal was the Spaghetti your way (Garlic and Olive Oil) My waitress was very knowledgeable and very attentive. Definitely will return. read more

Good food at a good price. I wouldn't say it's authentic Italian in taste, but for the area it's probably the closest you'll get. It would be nice if Benny's or someone else raised the bar and went more high-end and bold with it's seasonings and menu. It's more of a family style establishment that caters to the regional palate. Pizza is excellent for sure! read more

I have loved this facility for many, many years. I know that the ownership has changed. I have tried it multiple times since then. I do not believe I was coming back.. read more

We have not eaten at Benny's for some time. I am told it is under new management. It used to have great food and excellent service. I ordered pick up - personal pizza two apps, salad and a sub. I was told 25 minutes and showed up paid - was handed a bag with three styrofoam containers and a sub wrapped in foil and a loaf of bread (the bread is still good but not as good as Rosalie's - another local restaurant). I asked if this was the complete order and was told it was. Since the pizza normally comes in a pizza box I was skeptical, but went to the car and was in the process of opening the bag when the cashier ran out and told me the pizza was not ready. 15 minutes later I got my pizza - I suspect the pizza that was being made when I showed up was my pizza as it looked like a Greek pizza. This means the rest of my food would be cold and not prepared in a timely manner so that (eat in or pick-up) someone was going to have to heat up or eat something cold. I should have checked the pizza and the rest of the containers but went home and discovered - no dressing for the salad, the antipasto was not how it used to be, ingredients and portions a it looked like a few pieces of salami and cheese rolled up and thrown on Romaine lettuce. The pizza was missing ingredients and was under cooked. Called to tell them and the best they could do was have me run back and pick up the missing salad dressing. To top it off two of us felt sick to our stomachs after eating. I have been up half the night with indigestion. Hence posting at 4am in the morning. With better and closer options we will no longer be eating at Benny's. Rosalie's has been the best pizza place for NY style in the area along with a handful of other places that serve as adequate runners up (cafe del sol, Pat and Carla's and Brothers - probably in that order). Also with Liquid Arts (Roy Pitz) opening "Side Slice," a Detroit style pizza, you just have too many other options in the Chambersburg area. Please note - this is a single experience and may not reflect their typical quality and or service but due to two of us getting sick after eating there (and I am normally part goat so I don't get sick much when it comes to eating questionable things) I am not willing to go back. I still tipped for take out, because I think that's the right thing to do, they just don't get my return business. read more

I moved to Chambersburg from Hazleton in 2004. I grew up with good mom-and-pop pizzerias. (I hate chains like pizza hut and dominoes) The first thing I wanted to do was find a new pizza place. My wife and in-laws live near Benny's and when I'd come to visit (when my wife and I were dating) we would get pizza take-out from Benny's every Sunday. After we were married, we would continue to get pizza (or subs) every Sunday. We even joked that we helped Benny build his new sign. We don't eat in as much as we take out, but the times I've eaten in the dining room have been pleasant. The staff was always nice to us and accommodating to families. read more

We were doing work on my dads house which was near Benny's. we had lunch there three days in a row. All our meals were great and the service was even better. Order the cheese steak. The bread is home made and very different than an average sub roll. AND they aren't greasy at all. The prices are very reasonable, and with a Burger King just next door, Benny's was the better value. Next time I go to Chambersburg ,it's Benny's all the way. read more

We went here for the first time last night and everything was great. The waitress was friendly and always checked on us. We ordered the bruschetta, which was amazing, had a great mix of ingredients. My husband ordered the Alfredo shrimp and I ordered the salmon and crab Alfredo. These two dishes were filling and delicious. Portions are huge, bought three quarters of it home for another meal. The soup, Zuppa Toscano, was great and hearty, best soup I've tasted. read more

Don't let the outside or name fool you. This was fresh, homemade Italian food. We enjoyed dinner there during a mini-snow event and were pleasantly surprised. The food was good and the service (Thanks Brooke) was great. My husband LOVED his pizza. I had the lasagna which was good but VERY heavy on the ricotta cheese. I am used to a lasagna with more meat (if it's advertised as such) and while this was very good - it had 'just that much' too much ricotta cheese for me. But I would happily return and enjoy the pizza or another dish. The Zuppa Toscana soup was good and you could tell it was freshly made. Overall, a great place to enjoy Italian food. read more

I absolutely love this restaurant. I travel allllll the way from Texas to eat here. While the decor has changed over the many years that I've come here, the food quality has never wavered. A lovely and unique spot to grab some delicious Italian food. read more

Great attentive server, but immediately turned off when they told us to not sit together because they have s regular group that may come in. Waiting to see how the food is. read more

Well, I now have a "favorite" Italian restaurant. When you drive by Benny's you wouldn't think it's anything special. But, we've been noticing, as we drive by on the way home on many occasions, the parking lot is always full. When we stopped in last night for the first time to check it out, I asked the server how long they've been opened and he said about 10 years! I was surprised, because we've lived in the area for five and have never noticed Benny's until recently. Apparently there has been a "make-over" and the name was changed from Benny's Pizza to just ole' Benny's. Also a bit of refurbishing. It appears to be housed in an old convenience store. At any rate, this is a great place to come if you want good Italian food and good service. It's small, but decorated tastefully, and very clean. Service was top notch from the greeter to the waiter, to Benny himself. I was so full when I left that I didn't think I'd need to eat again for a week! Husband got the spaghetti with meatballs and sausage. The menu lets you choose "Spaghetti Your Way" and gives choices such as with mushroom, garlic and olive oil, Alfredo and clam, clam, tomato, and the meat stuffs. He was pleased and full as well. I got the eggplant parmigiana and it was prepared precisely like I like it. The spaghetti sauce that came with my side of spaghetti was awesome. The sauce in a little different than you typical sauce. I can't put my finger on it, but I like it. Benny's also had an extensive "specials" menu and had some things I'd love to try some time. We also had an appetizer of fried calamari. I guess you could say I'm a calamari snob. I just don't want a hunk of breaded gunk, and lots of times I'm disappointed in the calamari around here. Our server said when we ordered, "this will be the best calamari you've ever eaten." My husband said, we've had some pretty good calamari, it will have to be pretty good. Well, it was positively fantastic... lightly breaded with just the right amount of flavor and a great tomato dipping sauce. I only wish there had been LOTS more of it! (The serving size was fine--I just liked it!) Our server was awesome and kept checking back to make sure we were ok. He told us he was sure we'd be back because everyone loves Benny's so. It was crowded--though he said not as crowded as usual for a Friday night.... the recession maybe? We even got to meet Benny. Prices were reasonable too! And they have carry-out. So definitely two customers will be going back to Benny's to check it out again. One word of warning: If you are headed west on route 30 to get there, it's a pretty treacherous turn as the on-coming traffic doesn't seem like it will ever let up. I recommend the back entrance off Briar Road if you are familiar with the roads around here. read more

Best food in Chambersburg. Good service to boot. Pizza that Italy would be proud of. Calamari is a must. Benny's specials are always a hit. Soup is always good for a fall warm up. Martha makes you feel like an old friend. read more

This will forever be my go to place when visiting Chambersburg. read more
