Restaurant

Benny & Co.

Opens Today at 11 am

Review Summary

Across Benny & Co.'s reviews, the word is mixed: tasty items and quick takeout are praised, but value and consistency are questioned. Sweet potato fries are repeatedly criticized as overpriced and undersized, with some calling the extra fry option a ripoff and asking for clearer portion sizes. The barbecue chicken and gravy get positive notes from some, yet others find the fries only average and the overall atmosphere lacking in dine-in space. Several diners report a decline in sauce quality at the Anjou location over multiple visits, with the sauce described as diluted and less flavorful and little follow up after concerns were raised. Portions are often described as small or inconsistent, orders sometimes missing items or sauces, and service experiences vary from friendly to frustrating, including issues with credits for errors and food arriving cold. Overall Benny & Co. is seen as having appealing flavors and reasonable prices, but the reviews point to uneven portions, inconsistent quality, and uneven customer service that can erode value and trust over time.View restaurant profile
