Ben's Diner

Love the name as an ode to Ben Franklin's chain. It is true to form with simple menu, polite service and hometown, local feel because IT IS!! We have a rule when traveling to avoid chains and look for 3.5 stars. That usually means the food is good and service may not be fine dining level. This is a local diner set in an older outdoor shopping center but, it delivers good food, great prices and served with a smile.

I am not from the area, in fact I live several hours away but I must say that if I am within even a reasonable distance of Ben's Diner, I'm going there for chow. The staff are personable, friendly, helpful and efficient. The food is tasty, served in good portions and affordable. The roast beef is OFF THE CHAIN! It's truly one of the best hot roast beef sandwiches I've had. And get a shake while you're at it - they are awesome as well. It is truly a joy to come to Ben's Diner when I'm in the area, for I know I'm going to get quality food by qualified people, and have a wonderful time while doing it. :-)

Bend's Diner is a great place to eat, especially if you want a retro, local experience. The food here is good and classic. I love the super sirloin burger, though the specials can often tempt me to try something new. Staff can be great and very quick, though when its busy there is a delay. A definite reccomend!

Ben's Diner has been there for many yrs and has little staff turnover. Food is basic American fare, cooked however you ask, and served promptly. Tables spaced per Covid 19 requirements, but there is ample space to accommodate customers at alternating tables and booths. There's also a counter with stools for singles who don't want to take up a booth or table. Overall, fair prices, clean environment and courteous, well-groomed employees and wait staff.
