I used to go to Ben's Place frequently, but very seldom any more. The service is marginal at best, sometimes horrible and other times just adequate. The food used to be excellent, but my last two visits I could tell it is going downhill fast. I went yesterday, and the service was horrible and the place was about empty. One thing I have not heard mentioned is the fact that the tab is almost always wrong. Word of warning: always check your tab amount!!! Mine has typically been wrong about 60% of the time. I feel overall it is a management problem, and that is unlikely to improve. I foresee Ben's Place going out of business in the near future. It is a shame because it had so much potential. Now I would suggest avoiding this place and going to Manchester's or the new Leesville Taproom. Both of them have much, much better service and a very expansive menu.
Pros: Good TVs; clean restrooms; outdoor seating; nice ambience
Cons: Horrible, inconsistent service; incorrect tabs; poor management; going downhill

I didn't know about this place until a friend recommended it. The food is really good and even as a vegetarian, I have plenty to choose from. Best of all, there is no smoking until late at night so I don't have to deal with smoke in my face while I'm trying to eat dinner at the bar. The staff are friendly and usually attentive. Overall... a great place to relax and enjoy a meal.
Pros: Food, service, no smoke
