Bentley’s Tavern

Bentleys a staple in my life!
I live within walking distance so I go quite often — love the staff love the beer and of course the food — Trivia night is always fun!

The first time there was decent food. The second time I went was because I saw they served Southern Chicken Fried Steak, one of my all time favorites. it was the worst (worse than Denny’s) that I ever had. It was so over cooked I could not eat most of it, and the sausage gravy was almost sausageless. I usually take home what I can not eat, but not this time.

Food was terrible. Ate there twice in the same week (Week of 8÷17÷2015) for lunch and ordered the same thing (Chicken Quesadilla). My friend ordered the open face tuna melt both times as well. Both times we were ill within 5 minutes of leaving Bentley’s. Something is terribly wrong with their kitchen.
Will never eat there again.

I have eaten here once late on a Friday night, and I ordered the Shepherd’s Pie, (Made with Beef, not Lamb.) Should be called Cottage Pie. To me, that is like ordering a Rueben, and it being made with ground beef and not corn beef. The Cottage Pie was delicious, I really enjoyed it. The friends I went with, ordered other things on the menu, I don’t remember what they ordered, but I do remember them both being pleased with what they ate. The atmosphere is pleasant. Service was good.

Not a bad spot, plenty of parking. The food was quite good but not out of this world. The staff was friendly. Service was slow though so if you are in a hurry make sure to let them know in advance!

Service and food was terrible. There was a fly sitting the the ketchup dish when she brought the food. The burger was overcooked. Fries were ok. Greasy. The potato soup was not that great and a cup cost 5 $. Way to expensive for the quality. The waitress never even asked us how everything was. Will not go back or recommend. Wish I could get my money back. What a waste.

Excellent everything. My husband and I go out to dinner a lot and its hard to get a good Cosmo. Theirs was spot on. Great prices. The food was plentiful, looked and tasted delicious. The staff was very nice and they didnt try and push us out like most places to turn a table. Will definitely be back and recommend.

Standard bar fare. Nothing special but decent drinks and staff. Would go it if was the only place open besides McDs.

Usually stop in when in town. Had salmon wrap. Mediocre at best. My daughter loved her soup. They overcharged on the happy hour wine. Not sure I’m coming back. My brother in law gave up on this place. Should have listened. The Recovery Room down the street is better. Sorry guys, you’re losing it.

Fast service. Food was tasty, hot and to order. House wine was smooth and pleasant. Large selection of beers on tap. We will be back. Give it a try!

Came here due to hotel front desk staff recommendation.
Had the ‘bentley burger’ with sweet potato fries — very tasty!
Good selection of different beers on tap, but I wish they had more local stuff.
Nicer atmosphere than a typical pub. Very clean.

The worst food and service. We went on Friday the 29^th and service was extremly slow. The restaurant wasn’t all that busy. I ordered «Perfectly baked Mac and Cheese. it was worse than Kraft. I was embarrassed that any restaurant could serve slop like that. My hubby’s hamburger was dry like it was left over from three hours prior. I am enclosing a link as to what Perfectly baked Mac and Cheese should look like. Run far and fast before you spend a dime at this place.

Service is hit or miss. Food is very average. Went there tonight with my 5 year old granddaughter and she wouldn’t eat the food. The boneless chicken wings were floating in oil. They weren’t hot so it was actually solidifying. I also ordered a side of vegetable medley just to have something healthy with the wings and they too were floating in some sort of oil. Way to ruin something that could have been yummy. And I have a problem with restaurants that can’t even take the time to brew ice tea.

I’ve eaten at Bentley’s numerous times, and overall it’s not a bad place. I don’t rank it in the top ten establishments I’ve visited, but I also wouldn’t put it at the bottom ten either.
SETTING: Bentley’s tries to present itself as a family-​friendly bar n’ grill, but I think the approach is a bit half-​hearted. It isn’t a dive bar by any stretch of the imagination, but it doesn’t know how to make the atmosphere appropriate. It’s a single large room with self seating and dim lighting. Of course, it’s noisy and even boisterous at times if there is a big sports game going, so the family-​friendly aspect only rears its head during earlier parts of the day or on weekdays when it’s not as crowded. The restaurant gets exceedingly noisy on weekends when the live bands play music.
FOOD: The edible items here can be hit or miss. If you order their boneless wings, you’re almost guaranteed a constant hit, whereas I cannot say the same for their burgers. I don’t think their chef (s) knows how to cook a burger properly. The couple times I’ve ordered one I ask for them done medium, and they come out blatantly well done to the point of dryness and no flavor. The Greek lamb balls taste rather good, though they do tend to come out a little dry. At least the yogurt sauce served with them helps counteract that. Menu pricing seems reasonable and in line with most establishments of this caliber, so the value is adequate.
SERVICE: The service here tends to be better if you sit at the bar where you have someone within arm’s reach. If you sit at one of the tables, your wait times generally increase. This is one of the aspects I wish Bentley’s would improve if they want to have an environment more conducive to families. It doesn’t speak well of your establishment when your staff caters more to the bar junkies than it does to the table-​top patrons.
TLDR: Bentley’s is an OKAY restaurant with adequate food and fluctuating service. At the end of the day, it’s just another place to eat and isn’t anything special.

Great spot to get drinks and dinner near home! The service is great, they have good beer on draft and make delicious seasonal cocktails. The food is pretty good, but we really go here for the outdoor seating, atmosphere and drinks. This will definitely be our summer hangout spot since we can walk there!

Horrible. Waited 45 minutes for burnt fries and a rock hard steak sandwich. This place is not up to Bentley restaurant standards. I am placing a moratorium on thus place.

You won’t find better wings up this way. Delicious! Great service. The staff is very friendly!

Spent a few weeks around Malta for work and ate here many times. Food is much better than I expected for a pub. By far the best place around to eat– better than many of the restaurants at Saratoga Springs (tried most of them). Food and beers are also reasonably priced. Bar maids are easy on the eyes.

Been here a few times. Burgers are very good — hard sear on the outside with a juicy inside. Good tasting (and reasonably healthy) salad available (raspberry vinaigrette with grilled chicken). Delicious sweet potato fries. Reuben is probably my favorite entrée, with a very judicious use of thousand island.
Service is good, prices are higher than your usual burger joint but the food is better too. Sometimes I need to eat lunch early but they open at 11:30AM.
Lots of TVs and the bar dominates the restaurant, so probably a fun place to watch a game but I’ve never gone in the evening.

Bentley’s is another in the string of The Mill and The Rusty Nail and I believe they all share ownership.
Went in for dinner with some friends recently.
Food– 2.5 Stars
Wifey got a philly cheese thing on the healthy menu. She was very meh about it but it was perfectly edible (not much else to say)
I got a turkey Reuben. Lacking Russian dressing (hardly any at all), and desperately needed some. Fries were good at least.
We ordered poppers for the table, they were OK but came out with canned salsa as the side… which is just kinda odd.
Service– 1 Star
«seat yourself» doesn’t work when it’s a busy weekend night. We basically had to track a waitress down, tell her we had 6, then wait a while for her to push tables together.
While friendly enough the table service was SLOW. We were there for quite a while.
Atmosphere– 3 Stars. Typical bar/​pub with TV’s everywhere.
Drinks– 3 Stars. Decent selection and beers were cold.
