Revival :: restaurant + beer garden

This is quickly becoming the best restaurant in Benton, if not Saline County. The food is top notch! I had a gyro the first time with their scratch made sweet potato tots that pair perfectly with the curry ketchup and cream cheese and cinnamon ‘happy camper’ sauce.

On my second time I had the cheese steak and it is by far one of the best I’ve ever had. The thinly sliced sirloin, caramelized onions and peppers with a coating of mayo on the toasted hoggie was once again, top notch! Also, the shoestring fries paired really well and the $8 pours of buffalo trace is more than fair.

I had the pleasure of working with Craig and Heather when they first opened the Benton location of Baja grill, which is just next door and serves great cali-mex style cuisine. They live the life of real deal restauranteurs and their passion shows in the food they put out at all three of their neighboring restaurants.

I highly recommend that anyone in town or any locals try out Revival, you will not be disappointed.

Let me tell you about the pasta! 🤌🏽 Ladies and gentleman Will’s pasta is literally chefs kiss! The sauce,magnificent!chicken, mouth watering.The burgers are exactly what you look for in a burger when you’re in the mood for one. And the cocktails and draft beers goodness don’t get me started! The servers are fun and quirky and the atmosphere just says good time! This locally owned business has all the love and hospitality you look for when you want to go out

The sandwiches are delish paired with the sweet potato tots! They have live music on Thursday and Saturday nights with wonderful artists and the sound guy (Craig) does a phenomenal job. Service and atmosphere is great.

This restaurant not only surpassed my exceptions being a month into opening, it was truly great. The decor is creative and carries throughout to the dishes as well. I got the Pimento Burger and the sweet potato tots and the camper sauce and it outstanding. They were at full capacity inside, on their patio, and almost full outside in their beer garden. We expected service to be much slower than it was and we didn't see many servers, but the management team was out and about helping with refills and delivering food. Really, really good food and the cocktails were some of the best we've had.

My mom, my sister, & myself decided to try the new menu. First we ordered two appetizers meatballs and cheese/sausage tray. Meatballs were homemade very big and were good. The sausage/cheese tray was really good but definitely needs crackers served with it. We got a BLT, Pimento cheese burger, and a regular burger, loaded cheese fries, & sweet potato tater tots. Sandwiches were good and very big. Tots were good but the loaded cheese fries we didn’t like at all. I believe the cheese sauce is what we didn’t think tasted good. For dessert we ordered the key lime pie. Let just say it was good but the way it was served was in the plastic container that it was purchased it. We looked up the brand and you can buy it at Kroger for $2.99 and save yourself some money. We had to get up to find our server to get refills on drinks and finally decided to stop trying to find her if we needed a refill and just shared a glass. Nice place but definitely needs a bit of work on serve, redo the cheese sauce recipe, & definitely serve the dessert better. Had the dessert been taken out of the wrapper you would have never known it was store bought. Could serve it on a plate with drizzle and then top with a slice of lime. We did let them know that we didn’t like the fries and they did take off some for that. For the 3 of us our bill was 89 before tip so plan on spending at least a $100. Might go back but not anytime soon.
