    Greek Chicken Breast salad
    Arkadiusz S.

    Stopped here for lunch with my wife. The menu was diversified enough and we both found what we wanted. They also have daily lunch specials and sell liquor. My New York strip sandwich was huge and came with side of fries and soup. Wife got the Greek salad and it was unbelievably huge. We ended up eating the rest of it for dinner later that day. Service was great and the ladies waiting tables been doing it for a very long time so they know exactly when to appear and what is needed. Plenty of parking in the back.

    Called several days ahead to assure seating for Mother's Day. We arrived a little early for our reservations and every person at the hostess desk greeted us with big smiles. Not long after giving the party name we were seated. I generally wouldn't comment on this, however it could be a problem. We were seated at a table as I pulled my chair out it sort of slid, so we held the chair for our Mother to assure the chair would not slide from under her. We all noticed the unusual sliding of the chairs all around the table. I looked down to see if maybe the floor may have been wet but it was not. Our waitress came rather quickly and took our beverage orders to allow us to look at the menu. Glad to have time to look over the Specials as well. There were many appetizing meal offerings. One of our party ordered Calamari as an appetizer. I tasted it, however not very good. They tasted as though they were the frozen pre battered kind and there was no additional seasoning on them. The marinara sauce didn't really do anything for the taste. And they were rubbery, very chewy. Fortunately there is a different take on dinner (for the most part). A hot loaf of bread with sweet butter was brought out with our salads and one of the party got the Chicken soup. The person who got the soup raved about how good it was and there were plenty pieces of chicken in the soup. Surprisingly everyone enjoyed their meals or the main protein the mixed vegetables had a lot to be desired. The veggies were over cooked and mushy and did not have much seasoning on them. Although it was a good blend of vegetables. Everyone did really enjoy their main protein with all of the meat cooked to the requested temperatures. All in all the food was good, some items needed seasoning, there was a good blend and hearty servings - we all had enough to take something home for a later snack. We did order desserts to go. I can only speak for the one I ordered, and that was the Carrot Cake! Moist and delicious and enough for two servings. I recommend this family style restaurant you get great service (waitress we had was fantastic!). Oh and if you like Adult Beverages they have a full bar. Hope you enjoy when you visit them.

    We made a stop here during lunch while we were in the area. So so glad we did. The restaurant is bright and welcoming. The service is excellent. The food portions are huge and not to mention DELICIOUS. My salad was loaded and Hubby's NY strip sandwich was tender and the melted cheese... yummmmmmy. There is also a bar area with high tops and a gaming area if you are feeling lucky .

    I've had a tough month of reviews in July... But the last three restaurants that I've attended had been phenomenal number one Palermo's on 95th in Oak lawn. Goat and Vine in Bolingbrook and now Williamson's restaurant in New Lenox all wonderful restaurants.. So let me start my review I started off with my favorite soup which is baked french onion and it was delicious... We ordered an appetizer plate which consisted of potato skins, onion rings, ribs, mozzarella sticks And wings $17.50 well worth it... They had a special menu which we had a ribeye steak which my daughter had was very juicy. Not tough. It was on a special page. Special price I had ordered also from that menu which was only $12.50 was the chicken stroganoff.. I love stroganoff but most places make it with beef and I personally don't eat beef So it was a real treat to be able to have this and it was delicious.. I also had ordered the sesame chicken over rice was also good. More of an Americanized entree.. My son-in-law ordered Philly beef sandwich which was also good. The slices of beef were tender The entrees came with soup or salad.. being a Soup connoisseur... As easy as chicken soup can be to make, I cannot tell you how many restaurants can mess it up sometimes by adding too much chicken Base.. . I could have probably ordered five bowls That's how good it was. We had a side salad of Caesar which was also delicious. The romaine was fresh fresh parmesan and their croutons were fried perfectly. Not burnt hard or old... I had to hit their dessert menu their cakes are sliced generously so they are shareable. We ordered the brownie with ice cream which also was good and a seven-layer fudge cake that was dry. I would like to order it again but I feel I have to ask if that's the way that it's supposed to be but the carrot cake that was spot on moist the cream cheese was balanced. It was wonderful.... We had the pleasures of Sheila serving us. She did a fantastic job... Made it very comfortable and was very efficient.... They have plenty I'm parking which is great and it was right off i-80. If you're ever out in that direction I would suggest stopping by to grab lunch or dinner... The restaurant is beautifully designed. Very clean... full bar bar with slot machines... Very cozy entrance with seating area. If there's a wait ....and carryouts are available..., I would check out the special page. They changed daily with lunch and dinner. Great job Williamson restaurant

    My mom and I went here and loved it! The service was great and food came out fast. We ordered the spinach and artichoke appetizer. The chips were a little stale, but the homemade bread was fresh and so good! My mom got the baked scrod with mashed potatoes and green beans for her entree. She said she liked it a lot. I ordered the reuben sandwich with fries and cream of chicken soup. I loved the homemade soup. The sandwich was good and the meat wasn't fatty. Overall, the prices were fair and good food quality. We will be repeated customers and would reccomend others!

    Let's start with the staff. Everyone was so friendly. They definitely work as a team to provide supreme service. The food was so delicious. Our only mistake was ordering a dish each to go. Between the 2 apps (ate 1pc of each) and the soup. We were already feeling full by the time the entrees arrived. Back to the soup. Best ever French onion ever. I'll be back for that alone. We got there around 11:45 on a Thursday. There was a pretty decent crowd. Food came out super hot and quick.

    Strawberry Cheesecake, Carrot Cake, Cookie with ice cream and chocolate sauce

    Huge thank you to Billy Les and the Williamsons staff. This is my favorite and go to restaurant every time we go out to eat. My little Presley is the big 10 and she wanted to go here too for her birthday dinner. She wanted a grown up meal.. I think the food plate weighed more than her! If you haven't eaten at Williamson's Restaurant & Bar then you have no idea what you are missing! The food is amazing!!!!! And for the price....well he could double it and it still would be worth it! The people . The food . The portions crazy big, the price . And the desserts!!! If ya ever go there you have to get the strawberry cheesecake and their world famous carrot cake!

My wife had the lobster and filet mignon (medium) - the filet could be cut with a fork. The lobster tail was fresh, cooked perfectly, and outstanding. My Delmonico - a cut that you don't see too often, so I ordered it thinking they must really specialize in it - was over done (I ordered medium rare, it came out medium) and a little tough. Mr. Benny's is an "old school" place - and while restaurants like to claim that quaint charm, it could use some updating. What it really means is they don't want to spend money removing the million faux crystal lights, mirrors, and brass-everything, and change out the dingy carpet. It feels trapped in time, but not the right time; like desperately in need of fresh paint and new carpet 1987, not 1967 when it opened. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5. Notably, this place is in MOKENA. It would stand on its own and do well in downtown Chicago, and you will not find a better steakhouse in the southwest suburbs. Not Jack Gibbons Gardens, Cut 158 in Joliet is its equal but much nicer inside (albeit pricier), it's similar to Al's in Joliet, and better than Primal Cut in Tinley. I have been several times and plan to return (next time I'll get the lobster too!)

The prices are kind of high on cocktails though. It's about $16 for one of the Summer Mojitos. They have a few flavors to choose and I got raspberry. A lot of the food is meaty as expected. It's about $12 for the pretzels. Basic. We got these as one of our few options. Comes with what they call chips sauce, which is made with pickles amazingly. The rest of the menu features burgers and fries and of course big ass steaks. Has some of the better food in town to be honest. It's located in kind of a hard to see location.

Unfortunately, lately it feels like things have changed--and not for the better. My biggest issue is the inconsistency and constant upcharging. I used to order the same meal all the time and swap my side for vegetables with no problem. Now suddenly I'm being charged an extra $6 for vegetables, but at the same time I'm not even getting the side that's supposed to come with the meal. So basically, I'm paying full price for the sandwich, losing the included side, and then getting hit with another charge on top of it. What makes it even more frustrating is that it completely depends on who's working. Half the staff handles it one way with no issue, while the other half acts annoyed if you even ask about it. I even showed a receipt from the previous day proving I wasn't charged extra, and the response I got was basically, "It is what it is." That's not good customer service, especially for loyal customers who have been coming in for years and know the menu and pricing by heart. I don't mind paying for food, but I do mind feeling like I have to argue over sides and pricing every time I come in. It's disappointing because this place used to feel comfortable and consistent. Now it just feels frustrating and awkward, which is unfortunate because the food and atmosphere are still good.
