Great restaurant. – It can get crowded at times so reservations are in order. But we have been there a number of times and even during peak hours the food was great, the menu varied and the service excellent.

Good food and service, but a poor wine list. – I really love Benjy's - it's fun, classy, romantic, and the food is excellent. However, I don't know who made their wine list "award winning." There are few things on the by the glass list that are worth drinking, and now that they've gotten rid of the Au Beau Climate it is even harder to pick. It's tough to have such a great dinner with an $11 middle of the road glass of wine.

$500 per hour !! WOW and still be treated like POO!! – After having dined at this establishement for the last 4 years almost on a weekly basis I have to finally admit I will never return. This establishment was informed by my adminstrative assistant that tonight was a special occasion for a party of six. Despite our reservation at 6 pm we were refused seating since we were lacking a single person of our party by our "little 20-year-old hostess". Excuse me - some of us were still stuck at work. This was despite the fact that ... read more

One of the best in Houston! – My girlfriend and I went to benjy's to celebrate her birthday, she has been many times with her girlfriends, this was my first time. We arrived a little early, so we went upstairs to the lounge for a drink. The lounge is a cozy space to relax and have a cocktail or a glass of wine. It was a little crowded, but we found an open couch and were promptly greeted by a cocktail server. After a drink, we went downstairs and were shown to our table. The food was delicious, I had the buffalo steak, my gi... read more

Upscale casual favorite in the Rice Village for innovative new American cuisine, a stylish lounge and weekend brunch scene. – The Scene Open and airy, this two-story eatery is sleek throughout with ever-changing wall art, vibrant colors and minimalist decor. Neighborhood regulars and modish 30-somethings sit clustered around steel table tops and plywood chairs or along the walls in spacious booths. Waitstaff is young, fabulous and well-informed. The Food Brunch, lunch and dinner menus change frequently, highlighted by fresh ... read more

Benjys Restaurant Benjy's has great American food. The wait staff is great, the restaurant is kept clean. The price is excellent and it is an all around great place to take your family for a nice meal. They have great steaks and hamburgers. Made to order and big.

WOW!!!! – I've been wanting to go for a while, so my husband surprised me for my birthday. I was VERY impressed. We were 15 minutes late for our reservation and were still seated immediately! Waitstaff was at the table within seconds to check on me. Our waiter was fantastic!!!!! I was also impressed to see how the waitstaff helped one another, a real team effort!! The food was FABULOUS and unlike many upscale restaraunts, there was a lot of it!! They even gave me chocolate cake with ice cream and a candle on the house. Tell ... read more

too much food! – i've always said, "i'll pay more money to get less food" this is the case here. The food on the menu is exciting. but when you get the food, you get it served in a fish fry plate, platter! they give you so much food for your buck! the food was good, but the portions are enought to feed a family of four! with portions that large there is no room for presentation. presentation was mediocre. but i guess thats what you get for licing in texas, everything has to be bigger ...

All good things must end... – After going to Benjy's for years and thoroughly enjoying the experience... alas, the experience has gone steeply downhill. Where I once rated Benjy's as one of Houston's 10 Best... no more. You will enjoy your dining experience more at Pei Wei these days. The food has become pedestrian with a bit of flair... flair does NOT replace creative taste sensations! Our desert (apple tarte) was clearly an "HEB desert" stuck in the microwave and topped with a bit of that flair that added nothing. Wine sel... read more
