One of the best burgers I've ever had! The hamburger had amazing seasoning and went well with the fresh tomatoes, onions and house sauce as well as the awesome buns! It was so perfect! Thank you Ben's Burgers!

Never heard of the place but since nothing at Jimmy Johns looked good I walked over there. It definitely feels simple but the burger was amazing and tasted fresh. Price wise is no worse than other comparable burger joints whose burgers weren't as good, maybe next time I'll try a shake or their Blizzard knockoff(I forgot the name).

Don’t know what the food is like. They say they open at 11 but don’t. They watched me and my wife carrying an our babies stand outside but didn’t consider letting us in after standing at the door for a few minutes.

If you are looking for a great smash burger, this is the place! The burger patty was seasoned well and all the vegetables were fresh. We ordered the cheeseburger and bacon cheeseburger and were delighted with the quality and taste of the beef. The buns are also great - you can tell they are baked fresh and in-house. The fries were hot, crispy and salted perfectly. The cashier was also super friendly and greeted us with a smile. What a great place!

Fantastic fast food for gluten allergies and celiacs. Dedicated fryer. GF buns. Cross contamination prevention practices. All employees I've encountered have been nice and accommodating with a smile. Willing to change gloves as needed. They are the standard that I would like to see more of.

The only reason I put 4 stars and not 5 is because it's pricey for a burger place. The food was excellent no doubt about it. I'd recommend for a date night but not if you had a large family with kids unless you want to pay a ton.

Ben’s Burger uses local farm fresh ingredients, bakes their own buns in house daily and grinds fresh beef for their burgers. Don’t tell any one, but this burger actually made me drool. Absolutely love this place! ? ??*This place is so good went back again today and had a cool conversation with Ben, omg, I’m such a fan!!!

Food was great, as usual. We tried out the online ordering, expecting it to be ready by the time we arrived since it stated an arrival time on the confirmation. Upon arrival we found out they don’t start the order until you arrive, even though the online pick up confirmation said it would be ready at 5:25. Thankfully it wasn’t busy so we got our meal within 15 minutes of being there. I will get burgers here again as it is one of my favorite places to go, just would like the online ordering time to be correct. We hope this gets corrected moving forward!

It was a pleasure to have such an amazing smash burger here! Ben was incredibly friendly and passionate about his quality food. His staff looked happy and seemed proud of their quality service, as they should be! Thank you, Ben’s.

This place is as good as it gets. Amazing food and they accidentally forgot my fries so they more than made up for it by providing me fresh, hot fries AND a free cookie. That’s how you do business. Kudos and we’ll definitely be returning soon.

I went here as I wanted to support local. For the price, not too pleased. I had mentioned what I liked, and the lady could have suggested things that I feel I would have liked better. But she did not and I ended up not even eating half. Just didn't have the flavor I expected.

My dad’s name was Benny and he would have loved this place, so my husband and I came to celebrate my dad's birthday. One of the freshest and juiciest burgers I’ve ever had in my life, 10/10 will come again.

Review Qween

Great burgers! I can appreciate a business that uses local Iowa farms for their beef, fresh ingredients, and bake their own burger buns. Also, the owner is a super nice guy! I would recommend Ben's over any competive fast food restaurant.

Returning customer- never disappointed. Excellent customer service every single time. The food is amazing and the most fresh ingredients I’ve ever tasted on a burger. 5 stars all around! Will continue to support this great, local business!

Went here today and bought 4 burgers. Two adult meals and two kids meals 45 bucks. 3 of our 4 burgers were messed up. (Mind you two of those burgers were only suppose to be meat cheese and pickles and the other only meat and pickles.) For that type of money i would expect everything to be right. Also it was not even busy. After telling employee about all the mess ups he offered us ice cream? No I want my money back dude. Never coming back here again. Would not even recommend this place to my worst enemy waste of time and money.
