Benny’s Place

My family & friends enjoy Benny’s often. Fantastic service, excellent quality & variety of food. Family restaurant. Places like this are few and far between. I highly recommend Benny’s.

Just finished an amazing breakfast at Benny’s Place. Get anything that comes with their salsa, so freaking good! I got the ‘Hey Ricky!’ omelet with chorizo, delicious and great coffee too. I rarely write reviews on here, but felt compelled as soon as I left to write this. The servers are also great, very friendly and attentive without being pushy.
One of the reasons I feel so compelled is that this location historically doesn’t do well and has changed hands many times over the years, and some of the places, well, you knew why, but hopefully this one will stick :) Will definitely be back!

Have had breakfast here 3 times, each time was great! Their food is very yummy, always hot when it gets to the table, always prepared to our liking.
Their wait staff is outstanding and very attentive.
I’d give them 5 stars if they had a gluten free menu. I have the dreaded food sensitivities and gf menus make it so much easier for me to dine out.

We recently stopped by for a quick lunch! The Greek salad was wonderful as was their homemade soup. But mostly, I’m giving five stars because of our service and the cost! Often times breakfast/​lunch places cost a ton of money but not here! I highly recommend giving them a try!

Went for breakfast early Sunday morning. Service was good. We were early so not busy yet. I had the SanteFe frittata which was light and fluffy with the right amount of bacon, avocado and peppers. My wife had the French toast special. The French toast was good but a bit on the thin side. Expected thicker.
Prices ae a bit high for diner but ingredients wee all good quality. The space is clean and bright.
Will go back to try the Oswego frittata.

Prob the best restaurant in Oswego. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner, the staff is friendly and the food is good. The menu has a great selection to choose from and the cook knows what he’s doing back there. I think the prices are decent for all the food you get.

We love Benny’s! There have been many places that have come and gone but this place has the right to stay! The menu is complete and diverse and the portions are very generous. The service is courteous and attentive. The black and blue salad is so ridiculous, I have to order every time I go!

After a recently bad breakfast experience nearby, Benny’s was a breath of fresh air! The menu was huge, the service was great, and the food was DELICIOUS!
We went on a Sunday around noon and did not have to wait for a table. Our server was polite and prompt and we all got coffees & Bloody Mary’s. The Bloody Mary’s were delicious and we all ordered a mix of breakfast and lunch meals. They even had Nutella crepes on their menu!
Everyone in our group loved their food and agreed we would be returning.

No at all a steakhouse. Don’t recommend newyork strip steak. Service not good. Only one glass of water. Two empty glasses sat at edge of table for 20 min while place was less than 20% full.
Recommend Grammas Table instead for home cooking.

The service was so so but the food is good. I had an omelette and hash browns with pancakes. I asked for crispy hash browns. The chefs listened to instructions.
We would ask our server for something and she would forget what we asked for. My gf asked for a quart of soup to go. We never got it and had to remember to check the bill. She didn’t charge us for it. So that was fine.

I would say their breakfast was phenomenal compared to other breakfast chains such as Denny’s and ihop I would recommend to others.

Rating one star only because I can’t rate zero. I haven’t even tasted my meal yet… because it’s been about 40 minutes since I ordered and it’s still not here!!! We were told «the head cook is out of the country so that’s the reason for the delay.» WHAT?
Update: We ended up leaving without having our meals because it was still going to be another 10 minutes – even though several groups seated after us already had their meals. We canceled our order and asked for our check. The server came back and I told her we weren’t going to pay for meals that weren’t even made, so she adjusted the check. When asked by the cashier how we were, we explained this is the only time we’ve ever been to a restaurant and are walking out without having eaten. Marc asked me if I wanted to talk to the manager, and I responded, «It doesn’t even matter since we’re never coming back again.» The cashier merely shrugged her shoulders and let us walk out angry. Several missed opportunities on their end to turn things around…

Kelly & I had breakfast here a week or two ago, thanks to a Groupon-​type arrangement, our desire to broaden our breakfast horizons and some good Unilocal reviews leading up to it.
It’s a nice, tastefully decorated breakfast spot in the corner of a strip mall. We walked in about 9:30, 10:00 and we were seated immediately. While the place was very crowded, it really wasn’t all that loud. A waiter stopped by about 30 seconds after we sat down to take our drink orders & provide menus.
The menu was fairly big with alot of different breakfast & lunch options that were slightly different than other places but in a good,” hmmm that’s different & sounds really good” way. Having taken 10 minutes to peruse all the options & narrowing our options down to a select 2 or 3, Kelly ordered pumpkin pancakes while I had ordered the cinnamon roll french toast combo with sausage & scrambled eggs.
We didn’t have to wait long for our food, maybe 15 – 20 minutes but time flew by. Kelly jumped right into her pumpkin pancakes & loved them. I believe «best pumpkin pancakes ever» may have been uttered. Suffice to say, the facial expressions she had while eating them were priceless. I was somewhat jealous (& I don’t get too jealous from a vegetable based, flour oriented breakfast option often) as sometimes even I don’t get those type of reactions from her.
My cinnamon roll french toast came out. It appeared to be 2 Texas Toast with cinnamon swirls served French toast style with a top half of an iced cinnamon roll resting on top of them. The french toast was very good, but the cinnamon roll on top made it especially good. I actually would’ve enjoyed it more had it been all iced cinnamon roll instead of texas cinnamon swirl toast but perhaps that will happen some day. The scrambled eggs were very good as were the big breakfast sausage links, though I’d have liked them to be a bit hotter.
Service was good, but could’ve been a bit better in our opinion. We had to ask for silverware and stop our waiter for refills.
All in all, an enjoyable experience. We’re fans & will be back again!

A better than expected breakfast spot in Oswego. I’ll start by saying this is a template style breakfast restaurant. By that I mean all the usual elements are in place that you expect. The owners don’t offer anything outside the box of every breakfast place you have ever been to. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, just wish there was more character or something unique here. Close your eyes for a second and open — you’re at IHOP!
Anyway, good food, good coffee, attentive service. It’s all here and decent crowds too, so people must like it here also.

Good breakfast, clean and good service
They went out of their way to
Make my omelette how I like it (flat no fluffy)
My husband had the eggs Benedic, he said they were pretty good
We will be back

I have had Benny’s bookmarked for a while, not over the top first experience. Build your own skillet has cubed style potatoes. Ham was sliced very thin and watch out for upselling. If I knew the gravy was a buck more on the side biscuit, I probably would have still tried it, but since I didn’t enjoy either, I brought it to her attention. They took the charge off my bill. The biscuits are a bit strange, too soft and their gravy isn’t to my liking.
Server was very attentive and I could see a return visit, if in the area. Real close to a 4 star, but not having awesome biscuits & gravy is always a buzz kill.

Good food, good seasoning, friendly service
Love the pork chops
Asked them to prepare sirloin steak Grecian style and it was great
We try to go at least once a week for dinner

I’ve been here twice and have tried four different items. My favorite was the salmon and eggs; I like having healthier breakfast options and this place has quite a few. They aren’t the most innovative or mind-​blowing breakfast place that I’ve ever been to, but definitely one of the best in the Oswego area. I would 100% recommend this restaurant to others!

A-​OK is just about right. There is potential for a better score. but service was lackluster and the food was maybe, almost a four.
The room was nice. not cozy but OK and the bathroom clean. (Had the grandson with us and he managed to get «sticky» with syrup more than once)
Like the Papanicholas coffee, I would prefer if they used one of their more flavorful blends.
I had the Cinnamon Roll French Toast Combo. No big surprise as I’ve had this at three different local places. This one was better than Egg Harbor and not as good as Egg’lectic (which I crave) I forgot to order hash browns. I must be losing my touch. I ate everything and was looking for more. when Lisa offered me a bite of her potatoes!
Lisa had the Bacon and Egg Quesadilla, with a side of Pumpkin Pancakes (sans fruit, ick) It was way too much food for her, so she got a second meal out of the deal. The pumpkin pancakes were pretty good and she really enjoyed the quesadilla. Potatoes were ok, they come with a dollop of sour cream on top… but don’t think for a second that makes ‘em fancy!
Overall, a decent experience but I don’t think that we’ll be going out of our way to come here.

A breakfast destination on «Independence Day».
This was unfamiliar territory as we parked the bikes on the south building exposure, soon to realize that we needed to hike to the north exposure if we actually wanted to enter the building! (South Doors Locked… Benny’s Rule)
We chose to sit at the counters north end…“Diner Style”, soon to realize that we needed to hike to the southern end if we actually wanted too see into the kitchen. You need to strategically seat yourself if you prefer a glimpse of the action. I’ll take that option anytime. Our waitress just smiled as she handed us the Benny’s Place Breakfast Encyclopedia. This is not a Menu, but a list of eternal options that never end! Huge.
Long story short, Benny’s is your typical Breakfast place that will focus on a visual color contrast food presentation of huge portions, and better yet, reasonably priced.
This is where Benny’s is Magical! They will dazzle with footwork and hope to hell you feel you got your moneys worth, and taste is just an option!
Breakfast visual was good, taste… not impressive!
An interesting Imbalance.
