Review: Beware of Price Gouging at Benny & Co.
My recent experience at Benny & Co. left me deeply disappointed and somewhat outraged by what can only be described as blatant price gouging. Upon ordering a simple meal consisting of a chicken leg with fries, gravy, and coleslaw, I was stunned to find that the total, after tax and tip, amounted to a staggering $24.

Line up was extra long and abnormal due to outages so watching 2 young ladies working hard and being very professional while under pressure, is rare. I am in the area only because of the outage but if I do return, I will forego the St Hubert and come to Benny for my meal. Great work ladies! Their manager should give them something special for...
