Benjamin's Great Cows And Crabs

Loved the decor of the place and atmosphere. Our waitress was nice but the food was midgrade. Our shrimp had hardly any seasoning on them and the melted butter had no flavor. I'm pretty sure it was margarine. My tenderloin was ok. It wasn't something I'd go back for and I must say I've had better at Texas Roadhouse. I totally would like to go back when it's less busy and give it another try. It could have just been a busy off night. Id love to go back and look at the cute decor as outside was full and we didn't get to enjoy that part of the restaurant.

It was our first time eating here, and it was a Sunday, and we hadn't realized it was more of a brunch menu. It wasn't what we had in mind, but we decided to give it a try. It was good, although I thought it was a bit pricey for breakfast, but my portion was generous. We'll return when we can try the regular menu. Overall, the atmosphere on the patio was pleasant, and the waitress was very friendly.

Our go-to date night! Love the live music Fridays. Food is always great and service on point. The salmon on a plank is delicious and I could eat the Brussels as a main course. The burgers are always amazing as well.

As someone who has been in the Forest area for nearly 30 years, I’d prefer Benjamin’s stay a hidden gem. But for the local owners and family, you absolutely should eat here. The staff is always friendly, the food is amazing (bacon jam brussel sprouts are 🤌), and drinks are perfect. Locals, you already know… Others, try them out and tip well. These people are amazing.

Birthday dinner at Benjamin’s was an overall success. Redneck nachos were a great starter for three people. The pulled pork was very flavorful. The entrees were a mix. The chicken was good and the Virginia wagyu burger was elite...to the point that's probably what I’ll get the next time we eat here. On the other hand the shrimp and lobster dish was a bit bland. The shrimp wasn’t seasoned well and didn’t mesh well with the rest of the dish. We’ll stick with something other than seafood next time
