We had an opportunity to visit Benson’s Steakhouse in March and had a wonderful experience!! The attention to detail that was provided by all the staff was amazing. Steaks were perfectly prepared! I’m not a sweet potato fan but their sweet potato casserole is a must!!! You won’t be disappointed with anything on the menu tho!!!
Soooo good. A little pricey but so worth it. All the sides we tried were fantastic. I love how they have you cut the steak to make sure it’s how you like it cooked before they leave when giving you your food I usually don’t finish my steaks but I did here. I couldn’t stop! So tasty!

Benson's Steakhouse is always a good choice. They have changed their menu. The cajun seafood pasta is no longer on the menu. The steaks and boom boom shrimps are amazing.

I have eaten here with my family on numerous occasions. Steaks melt in your mouth. February 16, food suffered and service was terrible. We had to ask for our salads, which came after the meal. We ordered desserts to go, and after waiting we were told he forgot them. So we paid and left. It only takes one bad experience.

Madison is such a wonderful part of the restaurant team. She was attentive, nice, and upbeat. She described the menu items well and even got me to order dessert which I rarely do.The bread pudding was the best I’ve ever eaten— that means a lot coming from a bread pudding connoisseur :). We enjoyed our meal and the atmosphere.Everyone raved about how tender & perfectly seasoned their steaks were, and I was incredibly satisfied with my shrimp ravioli.The only thing I’d suggest is that the chefs butterfly the lobster tail for an easier eating experience. Besides that, it was just as tasty and flavorful as everything else we ordered.Will be back and will definitely ask for madison again.

Truly a phenomenal restaurant. We were celebrating my mom’s 50th birthday and it was the best experience & food! The owner walks around & checks on everyone. He is very funny, humble-spirited, & polite. We were served by Joley who was an absolute delight! She is enthusiastic, sweet, attentive, and caring. We adored her! I ordered the ribeye, sweet potato casserole, and famous Brussels sprouts. DIVINE!!! Everything was extraordinarily good. My table also had the steak bites and fried green tomatoes… nothing was left. Everything was devoured. Benson’s has the best ribeye I have ever had. I am super appreciative for the incredible people & atmosphere at Benson’s. They made the night so special, enjoyable, & memorable. We will be back!

I generally don't leave reviews but this place warrants one. Firstly the menu is very vague, the steaks don't come with sides as the menu is written, besides the strip. They actually do but that isn't stated on the menu. We brought our daughter and ordered off the children's menu for her... It had no price listed. 7 dollars for bland chicken strips and fries is a little steep. The owner has replied to several reviews and stated that this is not an upscale restaurant, it's casual. With a "western " flair. The pictures say otherwise as they depict a decent steak house. We ordered the prime rib quesadilla as an app and it was 100% filled with shredded pot roast. I still have it as we ate there 2/7/24 and will be happy to show that. Secondly I was told the steaks are prime grade which they are not. The menu says they are 28+ day aged which all commercial cryovacced beef is. That is a given and shouldn't be mentioned on a menu. So that is the second lie that has been told to me as a customer. Finally one of my sides was grilled asparagus, which costs 6 dollars by itself. I was served 6 small asparagus as my side. The steaks were overcharred and under seasoned. A 24oz choice grade steak with 2 sides for $50? I would like to like this place but for the fact I was lied to multiple times and directly to my face is not acceptable. Our sever was pleasant and that's why it's two stars instead of 1.
