Benson's Tavern

Our food was amazing, I ordered the grilled MahiMahi and absolutely love it! Their pretzels are HUGE and delicious as well. Our server was super friendly and nice. They were doing trivia when we went which was pretty cool! I will be returning!

Went here for dinner for the first time tonight. There was no wait time for a table and a decent amount of seating to be a smaller tavern. Our food was delicious (we had grilled chicken Alfredo, a pizza burger, and the hangover burger with fries) between the group. Check it out, we’ll be coming back again! 🍽️

Kari was a very sweet and attentive waitress. I really loved my mac n cheese burger on a pretzel bun. The peanut butter explosion is a great dessert choice. The staff kindly greeted us as we came in and when we left the building.

I grew up in Reading and knew this building only for the bar "that filled the jugs of beer" for family get-togethers. It is no longer "just a bar" but a very nice restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised two weeks ago when I went inside for a pick-up order, so much so that it was first on our list for a dine-in celebration for my sister's birthday the following Sunday. The "front" (just inside the front door) is still the bar area with several tall tables spread through the area. But, when you walk to the far end of the bar, there is a "Please Wait To Be Seated" sign that indicates the entry to the restaurant section. And, it's a surprisingly large seating area that includes booths and tables in three separate location: a smaller, cozier area just behind the bar; a larger area that looks l

From the outside it doesn't look like much. The inside was pretty nice. I liked the atmosphere. It was a slow time when my wife and I went. I got the pretzel sticks with beer cheese, and they were really good. The parmesan garlic sauce for the wings is made in house and it was decent. I really liked how they came out hot and fresh from the frier. The ranch was very thin and did not stick on my celery very well. The macaroni bites were very plane, and did not have much flavor to the breading or Mac and cheese inside. Our waitress did a pretty good job taking care of us. Prices are a little high in my opinion. I would recommend trying this place, but it's not somewhere I will probably go again.
