Benedict's Breakfast — Restaurant in Welland

We were in Welland and google searched best breakfast places. This place receives 4.6* so we decided to try it out. Wait staff, especially, the older Italian(maybe) lady was amazing. Great service, friendly, fast and efficient. The place is small, but clean and many locals dining there. So far so good, right? Well that's about all I can manage to say that is positive.

Food was awful. They are known for the Eggs Benedict's which is my favourite to order when going out for breakfast. I don't eat meat, so I decided to order the ones with the baked beans. Now you would assume that this option would come with poached eggs, as it's under their "Eggs Benedicts" options on the menu. Well, it was a hot mess. I asked the server to describe how the platter would come and it sounded interesting so I went with it. When I received it, it came with 1 mediore cooked egg. Tasteless, you can tell these are the "cheap" mass produced eggs. A huge portion of potatoes with a mass portion of tasteless baked beans on top. Hollandaise sauce on the side, as requested, and it was terrible. Too much acid in their sauce. So lets get back to the beans and potatoes, they had a sour taste, like the beans were off somehow. I didn't finish that portion, and only ate the "fried" egg that came with it. For some reason, if you are serving the Hollandaise sauce, that to me would indicate a poached egg should accompany it. I got home and had the worse ingestion from this food and I ate 1 egg between 1 slice of bread and paid $16++.

My husband had the "Big Breakfast". Average food and the french toast, eggs, potatoes, all lacked flavour and seasoning. His entree was $19++

There are so many other options, honestly, we'd never go back because the food was terrible, honestly, real terrible.

The only reason, this place was given a 2 star is for the wonderful service received. Aside from that....not worth going to. Food does not even...

My family and I hadn't been to Benedict's for a few years since moving to Florida. I had done a review in 2017 and I'm happy to say that this experience was just as good if not better! Since the 1950's my family had been repeat customers at another restaurant in the area, especially for breakfast and wanted to be nostalgic. However the other restaurant didn't open until 9am! Too late for us to eat breakfast; and we appreciated Benedicts was open at 7am. It's also a big deal that The Big Meal includes home fries & sausage (which is a must for me with pancakes!) which I believe years ago the competition "Bushman Special" included but doesn't anymore. Benedicts isn't too greasy either. I took the option of rye bread also included in the Big Meal, and the pancakes over the French Toast. The 2 pancakes were so fluffy and had the perfect taste & texture. My family and I are looking forward to enjoying another visit when we come back up in September. Please keep doing what your doing! If you haven't tried Benedict's give them a visit for your next breakfast get together and you won't be disappointed. I would say they are definitely our new "KING OF KING ST." breakfast...

Absolutely LOVE going to Benedict’s for breakfast, or even lunch (they are open until 2pm). Always an exceptional experience here, no matter the day, the waitresses are amazing, the food is excellent, the atmosphere is cozy, it’s just a great place to go. They have no problem fulfilling my request to have an egg-white only omelet, not sure what kinds of dietary restrictions they will/can accommodate, but that one I know they can. My child is treated like family, he is usually given some sort of colouring page which they will then put up on the wall at the end of our meal, and there have been times they went above and beyond and gave him something extra after our meal as well. The atmosphere is great, and the place is very clean as well. It is a smaller place so it tends to fill up fast, but it is absolutely worth the wait. Best breakfast diner in Welland, hands down. We (myself and my youngest child) visit weekly and it's never a bad experience, they even call him by his first name which makes him feel like part of the family. Family owned and you can tell, it has a very...
