Benjamin's Family Restaurant — Restaurant in Rockville

Drove past here early in the morning, for our grandson, & son in law’s motor cross races this past Sunday, Son In Law raved about this place, on how good it was, & we should stop by here for lunch after, so we did..tired, hot, & hungry, they greeted us, & put us in a corner booth. Not very busy, maybe 3 or 4 tables already there, that had their food. We looked over the menu, & had decided on what we were getting (still waiting for someone to even ask us what we wanted to drink) our grandson was so excited about what he was going to order..waited, & waited, for at least 10/15 minutes (or longer) as waitresses were talking to the other customers in there, & there was at least 3 or 4 of them walking around, or standing at the front counter, & not one, stopped at our table. So we decided to go somewhere else to eat, & the girl at the front, even told us to have a nice day 😡 knowing we hadn’t even got waited on (she was the one that seated us) Terrible service, or lack of.. & usually I only give good reviews to places. Lost...

We had a lovely breakfast, however I thought I would clarify the one-star review from an earlier poster. Her objection was to the "Confederate Skillet" and also possibly to the "Gypsy Skillet". Both are names likely to offend folks from areas with more diverse populations. While the confederacy is still viewed with some nostalgia in all-white communities in the south and southern Midwest, to everyone else it is associated very strongly with slavery and slave holding, and using the term as a cute name will make people think you are racist. Please consider updating these names.

Otherwise it was a delicious meal with excellent service!

Edit: Just saw the owners reply, and I wanted to clarify that I didn't think you were racist, I think the names of a few items are outdated and offensive and should be updated because it will make people think you are. Sometimes the effect is as important as the intent. Maybe ask your diverse staff if they think you should update the names. You might be surprised. All the...

Just stop by there today and had cabbage and corn beef, it came with no skin of bake potato and steamed carrots and a 1/4 wedge of cabbage, the only thing I can say that was okay about my meal would be the corn beef. The cabbage was boiled or steamed soaking wet and not any flavor. The potato had a little paprika sprinkled on it with no other flavor, no butter, bacon, sour cream, cheese nothing to help out with it. Lets clear this up i did not want a load baked potatoe but did want something that tasted much better than I got, the steamed carrots was pretty good for coming out of a can. We also got sweet tea but it was pretty much sweetened water. I also got a piece of cake to go and it was very dry with little to no flavor. I will not be stopping by here again. Also lack of cleaning at this place. All the light fixtures that's on there walls have very thick dust bunny's on them. This is a place that serves food at least try to take pride in at least one thing. Would not recommend this...
