Amazing Experience at Bensons Eats & Treats! My wife and I visited Bensons Eats & Treats yesterday, and we were absolutely delighted with our experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles and friendly service. The staff truly goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The food was incredibly delicious!

Whether you're a fan of classic fast food or looking for something a bit different, Bensons Eats & Treats has something for everyone. What made our visit even more special was meeting the owner.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Full disclosure, I met the owner of this place at church but I set that aside to be able to be objective about this place, so here goes...

Bensons is freaking amazingly good! I had a chicken sandwich with a cherry shake and my wife had a burger with a strawberry shake and we were definitely impressed!

The staff was outstanding and they had no idea we knew the owner from church (she wasn't there that day) and their friendly welcoming demeanor was the same no matter who walked in the door!

My shake had real cherries in it, none of that almost cough syrup flavor you sometimes get and my wife's shake was amazing as well! The food was fresh and amazing as well, I have a video of the steam still coming off my sandwich and the curly fries are awesome!

Now the critiques:

Overall, Benson's is the epitome of that hole in the wall hidden gem just waiting to be discovered... So go discover it! You won't regret it and we will for...

The lady behind the grill start literally yelling at me because I ask ma'am why would you make the burger befor I come? My whole complaint was because my meat was cold and cheese was hard. Ms. Trinity wants to be sassy saying why didn't you tell us the exact time you were coming if you didn't want another cold burger. Trinity turns to the rotten mouth lady and ask are you really gone make another one? She's going to have to wait. ..... But Thank God for growth I just looked and smiled at both of them and just asked for a refund & told them have a...
