This has to be the friendliest Burger King I have ever been to! My daughter and I are vegetarian,…read moreso road trips can be hard when we are in more rural areas, as not all of the sit-down restaurants offer vegetarian options that my picky 4 year old will want. We were also traveling with my sister and 10 month old nephew as well, so we needed something quick and easy for all. Not that we frequent fast food restaurants, but when we do, they can be hard, as my child wants the toy or kids meal "experience" but there often aren't vegetarian options for the kids meals. When I had asked if they could make the kids meal with the impossible patty instead, they were more than accommodating. My daughter was so excited to get a toy ALONG with her crown. This location also has a (very small), but cute play area for the littles, which was the perfect space for our children to stretch their legs before getting back on the road.

UPDATE: July 4th, 2025…read more I've been coming back to this place 4-5 days a week SINCE my last review. The service has improved DRASTICALLY. My review was never about speed/wait times, or anything about product or store. It was ONLY on how insanely long it took SOME of the staff to acknowledge that a customer is in the store. Not because I need special attention, but because as someone in the industry for almost two decades, I was just dumbfounded by the lack of personal care. However, since then, they've all seemed to REALLY up there game. They're especially nice and attentive to me. I can't tell if its because I'm "that guy" who wrote the review... Or because they truly care and have actually focused on improving customer service across the board. Either way, the staff is very friendly, the drinks and food are AMAZING, ambiance is second to none in town, and I would recommend this place and service 11/10 times.

It's mostly farm folks and locals that come here. I got a biscuits & gravy omelette. You heard that right, it's an omelette with the biscuits inside and smothered with gravy. It's a neat concept except the gravy isn't homemade and could use a little sausage flavor. It was just bland. Other than that, it's a really neat concept. You get plenty of food for your money, and you pay at the counter or the waitress can take it, but in this day she was pretty busy so we took it to the counter. All in all, not bad.

A lot of great choices at lunch. You get better prices for the quality and quantity. Chill place because it was actually empty. It's more popular for takeout orders. The best things to get are the lunch specials. A lot better value than anything else. There's also a fairly small cocktail menu. It's about $8 for a basic cocktail. This has more availability when it gets later. Basically we came for the food. It's about $12 for the Lunch Special. A lot of great options to choose among. She had the Green Curry. This comes with bamboo shoots, basil, bell peppers, and mushrooms. I got the Spicy Basil Leaves. This comes with basil, bell peppers, green beans, and onions. Comes with steamed rice and choice of appetizer. There's also a protein choice and we got tofu. Had an herby and spicy flavor. There's also curries and noodles among the other specials. Great flavor and there's a spiciness to it. It's closed Mondays. There's plenty of things for vegetarians.

When I got home, there was a tiny carton of veggies covered in a curry sauce, the carton was 1/2 full. And when I opened the egg rolls, they weren't really egg rolls. They were 4 tiny rolls about the size of my pinky. I gave them to my dogs. I fried up some veggies I had in my fridge to fill out the dish with a little more food. I usually don't eat out, and I usually don't get angry, but for 27 bucks I was pretty livid. I live to far to drive it back.

Wasn't exactly sure what to expect, but I gave it a try. I had biscuits and gravy, American fries, and corn beef hash. Pros: + Biscuits and gravy were solid and it wasn't cheap on the gravy , sometimes places get a little cheap on the meat. It was satisfying. + The American Fries were pretty great after just a little salt. Cooked just the way I like it. + For a side of the road diner, this place was very well kept and clean on the inside. I could tell it was important to the staff. + Benny's is deceptive large with ample seating, and can handle larger groups with a back room. Parking lot was pretty big too. + Something about the atmosphere here. The staff and customers here were easily 90% on a first name basis on a Saturday morning. Very relaxed and casual atmosphere. Very old school. Cons: - Speaking of old school, NO credit or debit card use as of the date of this review. They post a sign for this right on the door. It isn't an issue for me personally, but it can be for potential diners in 2024. - The corned beef hash was a miss for me, but I don't know if it was the establishment or if I'm the problem. I've just been used to eating Hormel corned beef hash a specific way for 30 years, and maybe it wasn't what I expected. Regardless, while worth mentioning this does not factor in my review. Bottom Line: This would easily be a frequent stop if I was a local. Small diners like this are a dime a dozen in the United States. They all have very similar menus and ambience, but it is a question of execution that separates them. Typically the credit card thing would bump down to a 4, but I have a lot of respect for this place and atmosphere, so I side with the locals and go with the 5 stars.
