Bensons Cafe & Restaurant

Staff very friendly (when you saw them). Not very good service. Meals are very average. Good coffee

Good, friendly service. Toastie was somewhat greasy. Pasta was good .

Lovely lunch for my 60th Birthday. Super-salad was yummy Thank you ☺️

Really good! Food was amazing and service as well. Only would suggest getting bathrooms a bit more cleaner.

Had a great catch up with a friend at Bensons today , great service and very yummy food.

Wonderful food and amazing staff many thanks for your hospitality :)

Food was very good. Staff very friendly but service was very slow

Mostly quiet and peaceful the day and time I went. Food was yummy.

The food was very nice, wait staff very friendly, thankyou

Lovely helpful staff and great tasty food ☺️ .. ..

Very good presentation and service. Meals and drinks well-priced. Recommended.

My favourite place to go for breakfast in the Dandenong Ranges.

It was a lovely local restaurant, the food was good and service was great.

We enjoyed the food and wine, and were served by a lovely staff member who ensured we were happy with everything - which we were!

A great little place with quick service and yummy brunch! A good place for young kids as it’s fast meals and they have colouring sheets!

Tasty meal. Fresh food. Friendly wait staff. Worth checking out.

Great find on a chilly winters day for coffee and afternoon tea

Good food. Quiet and helpful staff. Good location for tree adventures place.

Fresh delicious beautifully presented food at very reasonable prices, delivered in a timely manner by delightful staff.

Great service! Food was absolutely beautiful! Could not fault it!

We just had a coffee and a chat - service was good, food was good, environment pleasant. Would go to Bensons again.

Great good, good value for money, friendly staff. Love this place.

Staff were attentive, however our cocktails took a long time to come out.. one by one (3 of us dined). The food was great, however we asked for more bread for our dips (and received two slices only, not 3). We were happy to pay for the extras! Apart from that, everything was great.

Always good, service and food. This time for lunch but have had great breakfast too

On first walking in I felt the restaurant was a bit drab and lacked any atmosphere. The service was good we were attended to quickly as it wasn't busy. The food was fine I wouldn't say it was amazing. It just lacked the love. Overall an ok experience but won't be going out of my way to be going back.

Food was good staff were very helpful and cheerfully served our meals, very pleasant evening.

Service was a bit slow but there were only two very young ladies working the whole restaurant doing everything. They were very pleasant but needed to be more aware of the patrons needs.

There are some issues in this restaurant with the level of staff's training. For example, the waitress did not show initiative in taking our order, and had to be prompted. Had she been more proactive, the general level of service and customer attentiveness would have been higher. When paying the bill, we were not asked about our overall impression and whilst this wasn't compulsory, such an inquiry would have elevated the overall customer experience, showing a concern for optimal customer service and satisfaction.

Friend get together. Was a really loverly place to have lunch. Staff were loverly meals were nice and good value for money. Evan though it was on very busy street corner could not hear the traffic outside. I would go back. Try it out.

Hungry, want amazing food? Go to Bensons! Genuine tasty cuisine, presentation is five star and affordable. This is our new go to!

The staff were lovely and very attentive, but not over the top.

Great food, great service and great atmosphere. Overall a great lunch!

Excellent food. Friendly staff. The toilet door needs some attention. We'll go back for sure:)

Staff were lovely, waited a little time for entrees but overall very happy

Excellent food. We had the stuffed chicken and the barramundi. Best meal we've had for ages.

Not going back again. Disappointed with food. Not value for money.

The food is delicious. Great coffee and lovely friendly staff.

The service was friendly & the food and coffee tasted great.

Great food, drinks and friendly service. The family will come back again!

Large serves of food, great dessert list, great drinks list too. The two young ladies serving us did an amazing job. Very prompt and friendly. Can't wait to go back again

The food is always lovely at Bensons but I was a bit disappointed that the corn and zuccini fritters were actually slightly overdone muffins this time. Please go back to actual fritter style.

Food in general was very tastey and showed some creativity. Wagyu beef meat balls tasted good. Prawns had a bit of spiciness, which was nice. Mussels were not as fresh as they could be and tasted a bit rubbery

The food was delicious and Spanish dessert was brilliant. Tables a bit crowded together. Waiters attentive but not over-whelming. We will certainly go there again.

We are regulars here and enjoy the food ands atmosphere . Saturdays experience wasn't great and while it was busy , they were understaffed and struggled to get the orders out. One of our group didn't get his order taken and we had to leave for another event he was still waiting for his order an hour after arriving. Please its a great cafe just make sure you have staff available to meet the need. Another area of improvement is to train the waiters to repeat back the orders when taken to be clear they are correct as this would remove any doubt to what was ordered- thanks

Good food and service.good location and transport is convince. Train station next door. After meal can visit Puffing Billy.say hello to the Capitan.ha ha ha

This place has a lovely atmosphere with helpful, cheerful staff as well as delicious food and made for a lovely evening with an old friend.

Really nice little restaurant located right next to Puffing Billy. Great breakfasts and their juices are amazing. Fast and friendly service and easy parking. Great homemade cakes too.

The selection food was good, service is a little slow, staff wery friendly. The only disappointment was fish and chips were cold and fish over cook, sticky date pudding was absolutely lovely.

They provide good service, nice coffee - but the servings are a bit on the large size especially for breakfast and it can be seen as a waste of good food. Nice location.

Marvellous food, friendly and helpful staff, great ambience! Really enjoyed a celebratory dinner and the coffee was top notch. Will definitely go again! Thanks to all!
