Reviews for The Benson Brewery in Omaha, NE
We ate in tonight. First time here. We came for the pork tenderloin sandwich. The sandwich sounds good, from the menu, and... looked good when we received them. The fries were very tasty. The pork tenderloin that my wife received was extremely greasy. Sogreasy, that it should have been served with a wet towel. Mine looked very good, but the taste was odd, and nothing like onewould expect in a pork tenderloin. In my opinion there is way too much stuff on this pork tenderloin. I think they were tryingto recreate the classic sandwich, and failed in making the sandwich better. I could only stand to eat half of it. I ordered asexyback ipa, and it was ok. Nothing to write home about. Our service was good. I really don’t like the QR code scanning for amenu. What about the folks that can’t afford a smart phone? I think it’s kind of presumptuous to expect that everybody has asmart phone. Overall, not impressed with the meal tonight, but we may try again sometime. Maybe. There are many great places toeat in omaha. I had to edit my review because I mistakenly gave them five stars. Our experience tonight was a two. Read more
Came in on Sunday evening for dinner. The pretzel app was great! My wife and I really enjoyed our meals as well. We got the... Cuban and Pork Tenderloin. Would definitely come back. Waitress was friendly and attentive. They had no IPA’s which I thoughtwas odd and we’re out of their signature burger, but I understand nowadays thanks to Joe Biden. Supply issues everywhere,otherwise great experience Read more
Came here because of the Nebraska Passport and they are so deserving of being on there! It was so good. The drinks are awesome... and the food was delicious. We really enjoyed the bartenders here they made an effort to chat with us and we had a great time.We like how open this place is as they have a garage door for an indoor/ outdoor type feel. As well as outdoor seating. It is alot bigger inside then it looked. Next time I’m in Omaha I will be coming back! Read more
How bar food should be. Best bar food I ever had. Meaty chicken wings, pretzels with amazing cheese, grilled cheese and great... beers. Happy hour was solid. My kid fell and the server brought us a bag of ice which was very kind and above and beyond. Highlyrecommend the place ???????? Read more
Ordered poutine to decide whether or not to eat dinner as the folks next to us didn’t sound thrilled with their meal. Fries &... poutine came out cold. Gravy on side was hot. Asked if that was normal waiter said well no, but the cheese was melted so theywere hot at one point? Waiter Stuck same fries in oven for us for 2 min & came out a hot plate- Luke warm & 3/4 cold fries. Notmuch better. 4 cheese curds chunks melted on a plate of fries. Did not offer to remake & after we asked for the reheat waiterseemed to avoid us. We went to bar to check out as waiter didn’t return. Read more
This was a lively place on a Saturday night. But not busy enough that I couldn't get a seat at the bar. The bartender (Monica? )... was friendly and attentive. I got. a cream ale that was okay - could have used a little more body for a cream ale. The cubanosandwich was really good and the fries were tasty. The sandwich made me so full that I didn't have room for another beer. Maybenext time, and there will be a next time! Read more
Good variety of beers and even some tasty mixed drinks for the non beer drinkers. The food is fantastic though. Love the fries.... With vegan ranch, they are perfection. The vegan gyro was seasoned well and so tasty. Even my meat eating husband appreciatedthe flavors. I love the diversity the menu has to offer. Read more
We started with the poutine, which was subpar at best. Easily the package brown gravy you get at the store and very little... cheese (which was hard). We also ordered cheese burgers and fries. The burgers tasted ok, but definitely not worth $14 - camewith pickles, one piece of lettuce, one slice of tomato, and one single onion. All of the fries were hard and over cooked (I sawother tables fries were ok, so I think our was just a mishap). Better to come for the drinks and eat somewhere else. Charged forextra condiments. For an app, 3 bacon cheeseburgers, and one beer + 20% tip was $85. Friendly staff, chill atmosphere. Read more
