    Art on wall
    Barbi B.

    Went in on a Friday afternoon, the place was almost empty. The one guy at the counter was friendly. Ordered the turkey pesto sandwich on French baguette. The wait took a while because the baguette wasn't ready yet, so he threw in a free cookie! Super nice. The shop is also an art gallery so I had fun looking at the art on the walls while I waited. And to top it all off, I think it was the best turkey pesto sandwich I've ever had! Next time I'll try one of their delicious looking vegetarian options.

    Good sandwiches, weird vibes. The Cubano and Long Beach club were delicious. However it did take about 25 mins to receive our sandwiches. Beyond that the interior is best described as grungy. The art instillation on the walls is a bit unappetizing as it ranges from creepy dolls to the nude female form. I'd recommend calling ahead and getting takeout.

    My favorite sandwich shop in town, not just in Benson. They are a little slow to make the sandwiches but usually it's just one person working, so you need to cut them some slack. The Peach and Pork is my fav, but you do need to watch out for the occasional bit of pit in it.

    Open sign lit. Door was locked and no one there.

    Good food. My girlfriend placed an online order and when we came to pick it up, the restaurant was closed. They should really close their online ordering if they are closed and they should post about when they would be closed.

    Great little hole in the wall deli tucked off a busy street in Benson. They offer a wide variety of sandwiches, from traditional to more unusual choices... The shop is small, with a few tables and artwork all over the walls you can purchase. I was slightly surprised to be able to watch them assemble my sandwich in front of me, on a tiny little kitchen counter..Im not convinced that they even have a standard kitchen in this joint? But that's not a big deal-just a little upraised. I ordered the jalapeño poppers grilled cheese. So good! The poppers used super fresh jalapeño and had a nice bit of heat, and the strawberry jam added a sweet element that really complimented the other flavors. I got it on sourdough to add some crunch to it. Prices are not bad, I got the half sandwich and added chips and a can of soda and it came up to around $8. Glad I discovered this place, def recommend if you're a sandwich person but want to branch out a little bit from the usual haunt.

    I'm going to say something that really surprises me. I may have found a Reuben sandwich in Omaha…read morethat's as good as the Holy grail of Reubens, Crescent Moon. I drive by Dundee's Place almost every day, but never considered stopping. That is, until a very good friend suggested it. One of the draws was a big selection of bourbon! We didn't dive into the bourbon this time but I certainly noticed the big selection. Right on! My friend recommended ordering the crab Rangoon's as an appetizer. Man, oh man, the best I have ever had! They were light and crunchy, the filling was spot on. The dip perfect. This is an appetizer I never think to order, it will be on my receipt the next time too! The sandwich was perfectly assembled, in the style of Crescent Moon. It was packed with good solid pieces of meat, not deli sliced rubber, but chunks of corned beef. It comes with homemade (restaurant made), hand cut French fries. If you're familiar with Bronco's fries in Omaha, it's much like that.

    This bar is very accommodating for large groups, we had a huge section of tables all pushed…read moretogether to make sure people could sit with one another. I really enjoyed the lemon drop martini that the bartender made me! The vibe is very laid back, but they went all out and decorated for the holiday which was cool! The chicken strip basket will save your life after too many drinks, just so you know :)

    Stopped in for Omaha restaurant week and had a great time! Between my friends and I, we got to try…read moreabout everything on the menu. I started with the glass noodle salad - it was pretty light and a great start to the meal. The other appetizer, the shishito peppers, were also very tasty - they had an amazing sauce on them but be aware: one in our bunch was quite spicy (the rest were not spicy at all). I got the gochujang chicken wings and they were awesome. I have an average/low spice tolerance (maybe like a 3/10 is my preferred range) and these were about all I could handle while still being happy. Aka they're not overly spicy but they definitely have a kick. The flavor is so good though I would eat these any day. The other entree, the bahn mi tasted very fresh with the pickled veggies and the pork was also really good. The chocolate wontons for dessert were a great way to cap off the meal! The surprise lemon marmalade was delish! Our server was very nice, offering many refills of water (especially with the spicy pepper lol) and timing our plates to come out perfectly. Great ambiance in the area, not too busy on a Friday night but still had a good flow of people!

    Big Grove has become a regular stop for me since they opened, and for good reason. The menu is on…read morethe smaller side, but everything I've tried has been solid -- the fried chicken sandwich especially stands out. The drink selection is a highlight too; good variety across beers and seltzer options that keeps things interesting no matter what mood you're in. Last night was the one time things felt a little off -- the margarita came across watered down, and our waitress seemed to be rushing us through the meal. But that's been the exception, not the rule. Every other visit the service has been warm and attentive. One off night doesn't undo a track record of good experiences, and I'll definitely be back.

    Got to visit Big Grove for the first time this weekend. My first initial thought was I loved how…read morebig and spacious it was both inside and out. There was a pretty moderate crowd, but I could see if this place is very busy. It still would feel like nobody would be on top of you. I ordered the Al pastor tacos for my entrée. They were fairly good at about a 3/5. Maybe slightly more meat inside would be nice and slightly more of the red sauce inside the taco. I didn't really get the red sauce that came on the side. Also the red sauce that came on the side just didn't hit for me or add any additional flavor to the tacos I thought. I drank ice tea. Pink packets would be nice for a sweetener but they only had yellow. Grrrrrr. Our waitress was very nice and accommodating and again the restaurant itself was very nice. I'll try a different dish next time. Overall pretty happy.
