"This was our 3rd visit to Benjy's in a month, and the food was consistently delicious each time. Lovely ambiance. But tables are too close to each other & the noise level makes it easy to eavesdrop on other conversations, but difficult to hear the people at our own table."

"We took my mom here for the special Mother's Day Brunch. It was phenominal. Most restaurants tend to scale back on fixed menus and/or big holidays, but not at Benjy's. The service was outstanding and the food was decadent. I am such a foodie and the nut crusted french toasted and their spin on the corn beef hash was mind blowing. They even gave my mom a free mimosa. I will definitely be coming back to this amazing brunch place time and time again. I always recommend this place to my friends."

"My family and I have enjoyed brunch at Benjy's twice in the last six weeks, and I have had lunch and dinner at Benjy's over the past few years. Benjy's is a great place to go to receive good, interesting food at a fair price. The brunch menu has something good for everyone, ranging from down-home chicken and waffles to fluffy salmon omelettes. The noise level is fairly high, and the ambiance is certainly not intimate."

"It was great like always. However they call their paella "risotto" which is totally misleading. The waiter warned me before I ordered it and I was glad that it was more paella-like however they definitely need to stop calling it Risotto. Also the goat cheese appetizer is more of a goat cheese and corn fritter, they don't explain that very well either. Probably wouldn't have ordered it if we knew that. But everything else was really great!!!"

"We stopped in to have dinner with friends that are soon to be moving away. As always, this place is a great time! Fantastic appetizers, entree and desert! And the cocktails aren't bad either! Well played Benjy's...well played."

"Visited for the 2nd time in 3 months. The mushroom pizza with chicken added is much lighter than one would expect. My better half enjoyed the Scallop, Shrimp and Saffron Risotto. It was outstanding. But, the highlight of the meal would be the chocolate cake. I would wager it is the best in the city. Will always enjoy visiting Benjy's. Please come to The Woodlands, Benjy's!"

"Another great meal at Benjy's! I love Milton's Warm 10 Vegetable Salad. I can't seem to make myself order anything else although I did get a side of the fried cauliflower and it was delicious. I really love the sauteed brussel sprouts they make there, but alas they must have been out of season on this visit. If you are with a group, you must order Benjy's mom's chocolate cake. I have never had a better chocolate cake anywhere and even if you are full from your delicious meal, you won't be able to turn down at least 4 bites of this amazing creation. The service is always first class and never disappoints. All of this makes Benjy's one of my favorite restaurants for lunch or dinner."

"The restaurant is small so the largest party they can accommodate is 9 (or at least that's what I was told). The waitress's availability was sporadic once it got really busy (on a Friday night). I ordered the short rib and it was terrible (dry and tough, probably over-cooked). I told the waitress and she took care of it immediately and brought out my new selection withing 5-10 minutes."

"Even though we (My boyfriend and I) chose a small dish that ended up not being to our liking (We both have a strong dislike for coffee)the Lobster Bisque I believe; we very much had a pleasurable experience with our remaining three dishes. Our server was a sweetheart and I wish I had remembered his name for he provided excellent customer service (which I showed him through my generous tip). The salmon sashimi was mouth-wateringly delicious and I will most deffinately be coming back for that if not more. Thanks to your amazing food, romantic setting/layout, and awesome servers, my man and I had an unforgetable Valentine's Day."

Thanks so much for your great service! It makes a difference. =)"

"Parking was a little hard to find and even with a reservation we had to wait 15 min for our table to be ready, but our server was very nice and responsive, the food was good. I got the crunchy french toast which was good not great because one of my pieces was a little burnt but my friend got an omelet with potatoes and the potatoes were really good! I would definitely go back to try something else on their brunch menu. My friend says their dinners are amazing so we will be trying that someday."

"Thoroughly enjoyed the eclectic food selections as well as the funky decor. The booth/bench seating is a bit too close for any sort of private or business lunch in my opinion, but it was still a wonderful experience. Will definitely take my husband back for dinner."
