Benjamin's Family Dining — Restaurant in Clinton

Stopped by during lunch on June 3, 2023 around 11:30 am. I’ll start with the “good.” The dining room was clean and the food was edible, that’s about all I can really say. I ordered a grilled tenderloin with grilled onions. I asked the waitress if they had pepper jack cheese, she had to ask the cook that had to ask another cook if they had it. No one really knew the answer although I did overhear one of them say she thought they had some in the freezer somewhere. Needless to say I passed on even risking the cheese situation. When the tenderloin came out you could tell it was not fresh but rather it came out of a frozen box of processed packaged square tenderloins. Like I said earlier it was edible but it definitely wasn’t worth the $8.99 they charge for it. The place wasn’t very busy at the time I was there but still I never got asked how the food was or if I needed a refill (iced tea cost $2.79) until after I was already done eating and ready to pay. After taxes and tip this grilled tenderloin ended up costing a total of $15, which is way more expensive than it’s worth. I do not recommend and I will not make a return trip to any of the Benjamin’s Family Dining Restaurants based on the cost, taste and lack of service I received today. I would include a picture but nothing was worthy...

The dinning room was dirty, the booth table is was seated at cluttered , multiple different menues....waitresses uniforms a bit low rate, no hairnets were being used.....asked several times for lemons for my tea....the salad was fresh, and decently proportioned....vegetable of the day carrots were so over cooked they turned to baby food in my mouth.....1/2 rack of ribs.....bland.....steak, well, ...I ordered it med rare.....it was tougher than the bottoms of my boots.....and tasted like it had been thawed out in a bucket of hot water.......I left 98 percent of my meal on the table , and when I told the waitress ( my waitress ) at the register, she still rang it up......$38 , I will never go to any Benjamin's restaurant ever again.........one of the absolute worst experiences I have ever had....I do not recommend this place......if your traveling , your best bet is to keep on traveling in any direction away from Binjamin's..........p.s., there were a lot of flies fighting for a spot at the...

We have eaten here several times for breakfast and also for their walleye special. Went Friday afternoon for the walleye and found they have changed their menu and raised their prices. No more all you can eat walleye; lunch special (as it had been) was gone. Walleye fillets were about half the width they used to be. Ordered the same American fries as we have always had (which had been grilled, browned and wonderful) and we were served slices of potato deep fried so long you couldn't stick a fork in them. Rolls were served, which they did not do before, but they were so hard you couldn't tear them apart. Didn't see the same staff either. We commented on the potatoes and she said they have always served them that way unless you ask otherwise. That is not so. Very disappointed and will...
