Chez Ben Diner — Restaurant in Manchester

I recently stopped by this diner for breakfast. I was so disappointed with the service. The waitress came and got a table immediately, she then came with menus. I asked for a hot tea with lemon. The water was not hot at all, I had to make my tea and drink it fast because we couldn't find our waitress to ask for the water to be actually hot. When we finally saw her again, I was like we're ready to order." I asked for medium hard eggs, she came back with runny eggs, the steak was hard as a rock unateable to say the least. I tried to find our waitress to ask for napkins because she never gave us any at all. I have never eaten without napkins, I just don't know how to do that. I waited to find her or to see if I could find someone but could not. finally, after about 15 minutes of looking around, I had to get up to go ask for help. She finally came out the back with a big attitude, and yes, you need something? I said yes napkins, and I wanted something to drink. I said wow you didn't even come back to check on us or see if we needed something else she tried to lie and said she did, I said mam don't do that, don't lie because you know you didn't, just admit you forgot about us but dont say you came back knowing you didnt thats worst. She got pissed because I called her out. she then came to our table mad as hell,so u need something to drink while putting a bunch of napkins on the table. I said, "Just get me the check. I'm all set. I dnt want anything else from here, not even orange juice." unbelievable, I'm sure the couple who owns this establishment are decent people, I see a sign up about the prices being up due to price of eggs and tariff and I would have loved to support around the way family spot but omg that lady serving is a damn nightmare. I don't know how in the world ppl can work in service and have no clue or she just didn't like my skin color. I hate to think our shitty service was due to us being POC but...

If you're looking to feed an entire army of hungry French-Canadian lumberjacks or simply want to test the structural integrity of your stomach, Chez Ben is the place to be! This poutine paradise takes the term "massive portions" to a whole new level.

From the moment you walk in, you'll feel like you've stumbled into a poutine lover's version of Wonderland. The smell of rich gravy and fresh cheese curds hangs in the air, guiding you like a siren towards your impending poutine-induced food coma. And let's not forget about the fries! Crispy, golden, and straight out of potato heaven, these little sticks of joy serve as the perfect vessel for the tsunami of toppings to come.

As I sat down at my table, my heart pounded with anticipation and mild fear. Could I really finish the large poutine without needing to be rolled out of here? Challenge accepted! My gargantuan bowl of poutine arrived, resembling a delicious, cheesy volcano threatening to erupt all over the table. You can't help but wonder if they are secretly training aspiring sumo wrestlers in the kitchen.

Chez Ben's poutine is an explosion of flavors, with each bite telling a different tale of cheese curds, gravy, and fries living in perfect harmony. The portion size is so generous that it could double as a flotation device in case you ever find yourself lost at sea. And don't even think about saving room for dessert; this poutine will conquer every inch of available space in your stomach like a territorial French-Canadian bear.

In conclusion, Chez Ben is the place to go if you want to experience the absolute epitome of poutine madness. Come with an empty stomach, an adventurous spirit, and perhaps a second stomach for backup. So, if you dare to challenge your digestive limits and dive headfirst into a poutine nirvana, look no further than Chez Ben – where poutine dreams grow bigger, and your waistline... well, let's not talk about that! Bon...

Sadly disappointed. I had ordered take out for the first time here earlier in the week and the poutine was good, (the only reason for the second star). I brought my GF in on the weekend to try their breakfast. Upon arriving we were told it would be about a 15 minute wait. Fine. 40 minutes later we finally were called from our car to come in for a seat. We ordered immediately having had plenty of time to look over the menu. After being walked by countless times with no acknowledgement of how much longer we had been seated (another 40 minutes!) and watching countless take out orders go out as we sat with cold coffee we decided we should leave so we could actually get served food somewhere else. I know what time we arrived and have time stamps on my phone from them calling and text messages that were sent while waiting. I am not exaggerating the wait time. The most disappointing part is that they simply watched us get up and leave without even a mention. They even had my phone number and could have apologized or offered some sort of notice of how long we waited only to end up leaving without being served. I have never waited over 90 minutes for a simple breakfast. I will also mention that they were not even at full capacity when we went. It is very unlikely that I would ever go back after...
