Disappointing breakfast
This was my first trip to Benny's and I was looking forward to it because I'd heard good things. We arrived just before noon and were given breakfast menus, only to be told that the kitchen was out of eggs. Ok, fair enough, we were there pretty late in the morning. We agreed to order the two breakfast items that didn't include eggs -- pancakes and a fruit salad. (It would've been nice if they'd offered us the lunch menu instead, but whatever). Our food arrived and it was very disappointing. The pancakes were dry tasted like they were made from a mix. It would've been nice to have pancakes made from scratch, with syrup in a glass bottle (instead of a single-serving plastic packet), and maybe a little bit of fruit. The fruit salad, which cost $6.95, was so small it almost could've fit into a mug. It included strawberry slices, cantaloupe, raspberries, and blackberries. No yogurt, no granola. I would have guessed it was a side-dish, not a breakfast meal. The waitstaff was friendly and kindly took 10% off our bill (without us asking) since they didn't have eggs and we couldn't get the exact dishes we'd ordered. Overall, though I was disappointed with this meal, which was intended to celebrate a special occasion. I can only hope that their lunch food is better, but I won't be hurrying back.
