THIS PLACE IS AWESOME !!!!!! – So let me start by saying .... I make it a point to try every new restaurant that opens up in town within their first couple of months. Benjys is the only one that never dissappoints me. My partner and I decided to eat their again this past Thursday night after our salsa dancing class. We had worked up quite an appetite and were ready to indulge. We decided to start off with 2 delicious cosmo's, theirs are the best, but our waiter told us about some of the new signature cocktails, so I had the ... read more

Benjy's Lounge Upstairs Benjy's is a great restaurant! The prices and the service there are hard to beat compared to other American style joints. The lounge upstairs is small but intimate. They normally have some sort of happy hour specials and appetizers and specials on drinks. Its a nice date spot and a good place to just meet and greet with friends. The lounge can get crowded during peak hours and seating is very limited so try and get there early to beat the rush!

Benjy's on Washington – It was nice to see the owner Benjy at the door of his newer location. It's been open for two years now. The fickle, hip lounge crowd has diminished; however, the 30-something foodies still gather here. Like their original location, they have a lounge on the second floor...watch the stairs. There is a second floor patio where smokers can mingle. I prefer the bar they have downstairs for better customer service. They serve some inventive drinks and have a decent bar menu for happy hour which is from 4:0... read more

GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT Food..Incredible service & atmosphere – Best Food & Service in Houston.. I keep trying all the top "new" hot spots in Houston and none of them come close. I actually like the fact that Benjy's DOES NOT ALLOW HUGE PARTIES...!! That is great !!!! If you are at a normal place and a party of 12-18 people are next to your table, then you might as well leave. Benjy I applaud you for having such a smart rule, unlike the other writer on another review. The new location on Washington is outstanding. Just... read more

Was my favorite restaurant but disappointed about large group "rule" – Benjy's use to be our favorite restaurant until the restaurant has a rule not to serve groups of more than 10 even with a reservation. It is really disappointing because now there is one close to my house on washington and i am going to be hard pressed to darken the door of that establishment.

Great place to bring guests – I absolutely love brunch at Benjy's! They have a wonderful variety from which to choose. I love the salmon and cream cheese omelet, but everyone else usually gets the crunchy French toast. And I can't tell you how amazing the really spicy bloody Mary is in words- you will just have to try it! There are two flavors of Mimosas as well- I think orange and peach- and they can come in a carafe for sharing around the table. This is a must for out of town guests because the food is delicious, the servi... read more

Here's to second chances... – After having reservations for a birthday dinner and not honoring them, Benjy's suprised me... they made it right. The manager obviously saw my Citysearch review and called my boyfriend to ask what he could do to make it up to us. The manager was very apologetic and asked us to come back for dinner, on them. We decided to give them a second chance and really enjoyed it... the ahi tuna appetizer was AMAZING! We had a great time and will recommend this restaurant. Thanks for the great customer serv... read more

A Pleasant start to the evening – So I'm back for another review. Benjy's in Rice Village is a jewel within the village. The restaurant is nice and the food is good. I always give in to the crunchy chicken. It is a very nice place to start your evening. The lounge at Benjy's is small so when it gets crowded it is painful but I find that the tone and the people there are usually pleasant. The background music works for the atmosphere and every once in a while they will throw a Tribe Called Quest song in, I even thought I migh... read more

Best white chocolate creme brulee, excellent customer service – I love, love, love Benjy's! And so does everyone else on Saturday evenings apparently. =) My fiance made reservations here for my birthday and could not get a spot until 8:30 PM even reserving a week in advance. But, once reserved, we were seated immediately upon arrival and the service was impeccable - wine recommendations were excellent, the food was excellent with good portion size. I absolutely love the Asian fusion in their entrees. The ambience is swanky, ... read more
