   It was just ok. We waited almost 30 minutes for someone to come take our drink order, then the whole time she was taking our food order she was looking around so the majority of our order was wrong.

   Great place to eat outside on the pier. Couch fritters are a must try.

   Great food. Spectacular location. Service a bit dicey. Had a difficult time geeting a 2nd drink. It was a Wednesday evening, so they were'nt that busy, just waitress had some issues focusing. Refused to do seperate checks (2 couples). Don't know why that's such an issue. If we had sat at seperate tables, we would have had seperate checks, yes? So why is it a difficulty when we are seated at one table. I understand if we were a big group but we were 2 couples. No reason for not allowing this request. Just lazyness.

   We've visited Benny's several times in the past and generally had decent service, but our last two visits have been disappointing. While the food remains excellent, it's simply not worth a 45-minute drive when key items are unavailable and the service is below standard. On our most recent visit—granted, on a busy Mother's Day—we were told two of the items we came specifically to order were sold out. While we understand higher volume on holidays, it felt like poor planning on the manager’s part not to anticipate increased demand. It took 15 minutes just to get our drink order taken, and over an hour for our meals to arrive. Our server briefly stopped by to say the food would be out "shortly" and to inform us that one of the sides had run out. It still took another 20 minutes after that, which didn’t feel “short” at all. There was no offer for refills, and once our food came, the waitress never checked back to see if we needed anything else. To top it off, we were charged for a substitute side that we didn’t order. Most frustrating was the waitress's attitude—she told us serving on Mother's Day was "a bad thing" and made us feel as though we were at fault for being frustrated. We truly enjoy the food at Benny’s, but the service needs to match the quality of the menu. Otherwise, it's just not worth the trip.

   The drinks from the bar are way over priced but tasted good ! The meals are fairly priced but a slice of KEY LIME PIE $14 gimme a break ! I’m not a “penny pincher “ but some companies take advantage!

   Food was delivered fast. Excellent choices. Drinks were expensive but good. Great afternoon beach location. We ate on the pier. Happy hour was only at the ocean front location.

    My wife and I just moved to the area and we ate here for the first time on may 2nd. Waitress charged an additional almost $200 to my credit card. If I had not noticed this would not have been corrected and I had to physically go to the restaurant and speak with the manager as no one would answer the phone. Shame that they seem to employ less than reputable people who would do such a thing. Even if it was an accident they still were not able to immediately correct the problem and put it on me to resolve the issue with my bank. Place seemed nice but we won’t be back.
