Bennie's | Italian Foods

We were in town for a softball tournament and found this lovely gem. We had Alfredo fettuccini, mostaccoli with the house sauce, cordon blue chicken and it was all so good I didn’t even remember to take pics of the food. Definitely a must try and we will be back. Also our server was very sweet.

Web page looked good. When we walked in, I like the atmosphere. The staff was also very pleasant. Unfortunately though, their food just isn’t good. I’m a foodie so we ordered multiple things to try. The Italian roast (recommended )beef I only took 2 bites from. It was just bland, shredded beef with cheese. Not the favored, thin sliced, medium rare. The aus jus wasn’t bad. No Giardinera. Just a couple whole peppercini’s thrown on plate. Bread sticks weren’t bad. Marinara was sweet. Not my style. Alfredo sauce wasn’t bad. They didn’t have cheese dip. Fries were over cooked. Not going by looks, they’re season fries. Tasted horrible. My last hope was the pizza. I admit I’m a pizza snob. I prefer wood fired. This pizza was like eating on a stale cracker crust. I ate 1 piece. Horrible. I took home a salad for my wife. Added grilled chicken. She didn’t eat more than a couple bites. Said chicken was gross (probably frozen). The vinaigrette was yucky. Tossed it. We threw food away because nobody else would eat it. Munched on something else. Not sure how they stay open, other than it’s a small town. Not a lot of options. Menu I think is also too vast. Instead of focusing, a perfecting a limited amount of items, it’s all over the place. Italian, yet has tamales. An then stir fry??? Bill was $100. Tip $20.

My wife and I stopped in before a nearby concert. We both had a great meal with attentive service despite it being super-busy. My wife is from the area so she'd been many times before and I'd been a few times myself. Our food and service was definitely on par with what we'd come to expect. Give this place a shot! It's pretty delicious.
