Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Benson

My friend and I were thoroughly impressed with our lunch at this Eastside restaurant earlier today. The food was quite delicious, the service was attentive and friendly, and the nostalgic atmosphere and music made for a memorable experience. We'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

We had the perfect Valentine's Day experience at Renee's on Valentine's Day. For this special occasion, they required a reservation and pre payment of $100 for two of us, which seemed reasonable to me. Our table, a booth, was toward the quiet back of the restaurant and was very private, which we liked. The relaxing dinner included salad (he had spinach/goat cheese, I had Caprese), a main entree which we chose (chicken breast with zucchini noodles and sun dried tomatoes (excellent!), a glass of wine, and a dessert to split. It was a beautiful evening with excellent food, and we were reminded of how a visit to a small, quiet restaurant like Renee's feeds our souls as well as our bodies.

We were celebrating Valentine's Day one day early and are so glad we spent it at Doughbird. Their wine list is small but very, very good. The food was terrific and our server, Brooke, made our night even more special. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was lively. We will be back.

The menu is diverse, with something for every palate. The service was excellent and seating was very comfortable. The staff and patrons made for a fun and vibrant atmosphere. Food was top notch.

In need of comfort food, not for the first time time, three of us were able to get a last minute reservation. One of us had the always excellent meat loaf, and the other two of us had the burger with lemon pepper aioli. His burger came a ordered well done, and mine as rare as possible. Both came with excellent fries. One of us had a vodka martini, and one had local craft beer. Service was as usual prompt, pleasant and efficient. We were seated at high top table with a banquette on one side. A caveat for anyone under average height if you sit on the cushioned banquettes you will be almost at table level with your face. Likewise for the stools, both guys are over 6 feet and were also uncomfortable. Next time we'll plan better and get a table.
