“ Great breakfast spot. The baked cranberry oatmeal is my go to! Soooooo good!! Reasonable prices and plenty of food per serving. You won't be disappointed. My must stop when in Illinois! ”
“ This was my third time here. The service has been efficient and the staff has been kind each time. For as busy as it is, it isn’t too loud, which is refreshing. The food is fresh and flavorful and there are a variety of options for both breakfast and lunch. I am typically cold everywhere we go, however, the temperature was just perfect. I ordered the egg and bacon quesadillas (I added avocado), which were delicious and satisfying. My husband had the Tuscany omelette, which he thoroughly enjoyed. We will continue to be customers! ”
“ It is definitely my family's favorite breakfast spot. The coffee is always hot and fresh. Food is delicious and portion size are spot on. The service is a step above, from the welcoming greetings as you walk in, to all the employees including bus boys warm smiles. Crepes and pancakes are decorated beautifully as well as being very satisfying and filling. There are vegetarian options available and look and taste great. ”
“ We arrived at 10 AM and waited about 35 minutes to be seated. Normally, we don’t like to wait, but it was definitely worth it! Pedro, our server, took excellent care of us from the moment he arrived at our table. He was very attentive and professional, answered all our questions, and gave us great recommendations. The chicken and rice soup was absolutely delicious, and the rest of the food was just as amazing. My wife and I both had the skillet, and it was so tasty that we finished everything! We are new to the area, but we will definitely be back soon — and we will be asking for Pedro! 10 out of 10! ”
“ I recently visited Benny’s Place and had the pleasure of enjoying their California omelette, accompanied by a side of French toast. Both dishes were fantastic! The omelette was fluffy and packed with fresh ingredients, making it a satisfying meal. The French toast was perfectly golden and sweet, a great complement to the savory omelette. I couldn't resist trying their Turtle pancakes as well, and they did not disappoint. The combination of chocolate, caramel, and pecans created a delightful treat that was both decadent and indulgent. Benny’s Place has become a favorite of mine, mainly because it’s conveniently located close to my home. The consistent quality of the food ensures that every visit is enjoyable. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend stopping by for a delicious meal! ”
“ Had the best experience If there was a 10 out of 10, I Wouldn’t hesitate to rate it !!! portion sizes are amazing. The hospitality was the best felt like I was family. The server was funny and very charismatic. I will definitely be coming here again ! ”
“ Was looking for a local breakfast diner and was pleased to have stumbled upon this place. A good mixture between American and breakfast dishes. I got the Chipotle chicken sausage skillet paired with the chocolate chip pancakes. Great mix! Coffee here was delicious as I ordered the caffe latte to pair up with my food. Would definitely recommend this spot! ”
“ Here again! My favorite skillet (veggie w/bacon less the zucchini)! Fresh Fresh Fresh! You can taste every item in the skillet...bacon is BACON...not overcooked, just right where one can tell it's actually bacon. ”
