Ben's Next Door

The food was absolutely delicious! I got the cauliflower and crab cake entree. First off, I decided that I wanted the crab cakes because someone else ordered them and they smelled so good. The crab cakes were absolutely delicious and full of so much flavor. I’d absolutely return!!!

Delicious food! The crispy salmon was bomb! Service was HORRIBLE! We waited for about 10 minutes before catching the next employee walking by’s attention. Then she made sure to tell us she was off, we asked her for our server but she kindly took our order. We still did not see our server for an additional 10 minutes. When we finally got a hold of her she said. “Sorry the other girl took your order so I thought you were good” girl so this was pretty much how our night when, she barely came back I was parched the whole night she needs another job lol. But again food was great!

Okay I made a huge mistake. I can admit it. I ordered their shrimp and grits. Here's the thing. I'm country. I grew up in South Carolina. And my grits has never been gritty. That's what I had to contend with. The shrimp was succulent and on point. But the Grits left a lot to be desired. Now I'm going to have to go back and try some more dishes but if I have to judge it off of what I ate it was not worth the trip from Maryland. Just being honest.

Came for dinner and thoroughly enjoyed the food. Had the chicken & waffles and thought they were very well made and tasty. Other dishes ordered by my group included the half smoke and the shrimp & grit, both of which were also good. However, the service could have been improved. It wasn’t incredibly busy, yet it was very difficult to get a hold of our waitress. Not sure if it was her fault or a staffing issue, but almost resulted in us being late to something. Regardless, the food was still good and would recommend.

My friend and I came here for brunch. We shared the chicken and waffles and salmon and grits. Everything was absolutely delicious and well seasoned. We were tempted to order a separate bowl of grits just because of how tasty they were Can't wait to go back!
