  1. Wow!  Breakfast was amazing!  Belgium waffles stuffed with Nutella, topped with bananas.  My wife had the same but got peanut butter filling instead.  Great home fries, crispy bacon, fresh coffee.  

    Service was terrific.  This place feels like it did when hanging out at my friend's Mom's kitchen when I was younger.  Lots of laughter, yelling, and that comfy " you're at home" feeling.   Our server, "Lulu" tells it like it is in a friendly – like she's known you forever sort of way – and that's refreshing!  Definitely coming back to this hometown spot during a weekend –  when they expand their menu a bit to offer some additional items like biscuits with sausage gravy.  Don't have to travel south-of-the-border – enjoy that southern treat here!   Only wish they were open later in the day!  They stick to their luncheonette hours, unfortunately.  Well, eat hearty early at this place and then have a salad and water for dinner!

  2. Went in again today. Waitress was super friendly. I also saw another waitress wearing a Halloween type vest which I totally loved. It makes the place feel more homey.

    After I drank enough 1st Ward coffee to jumpstart an elephant, I ordered the crab cake eggs Benedict and my friend ordered the pumpkin pound cake French toast with a side of bacon. Both dishes were amazing. That pound cake French toast put together tow very unexpectant items together and it was great. You would think the "pound cake" being a heavier item the dish would be too rich and it wasn't.

    The only thing I was a little disappointed with was the fact that there was no English muffin underneath my crab cake Benedict. I felt like I was missing that additional starch especially because the crab cake was very soft. It was absolutely delicious, but I needed either the toasted English muffin or my really crispy crab cake to off set the dish a little bit. But still it was amazing!!

    The next time I come I am ordering the two eggs with a homemade biscuit and sausage gravy. I am dying to try it. The sausage gravy is something I really only eat when I travel, as it is not as popular of a dish to have on a menu here in NJ.

    Posted pics of our dish!

  3. Stuffed waffle with Nutella and strawberries is outta this world!!!! So far, everything here is so good!

  4. What a fun place for breakfast. Divey, huge portions and friendly staff. This is the perfect place to bring kids on a Saturday morning. We ordered the pancakes and omelette. I tried the Spanish Omelette – I liked it, but the flavor was a bit much so I swapped dishes with my boyfriend halfway through. His was the Western omelette – very yummy. Coffee was good too.

  5. What a lovely brunch spot! The place is very retro diner. Our server "LuLu" was hilarious. She's an older women with HUGE humor and sas! The entire place is filled with delightful characters. The owner (or manager) at the register was also a doll. The food was strikingly beautiful as well as insanely tasteful. The portions are also fantastic. I'd reccomend… um anything on the menu. I tried everyones dish at the table and I wanted all of it. Great job Benny's. I'm happy we found you!

  6. I live in Fair Lawn and only started coming here once I became a resident and I am so in love with Benny's. They have this Eggs Florentine special that I get almost every time I come that is the tastiest Eggs Florentine I've ever had! I've tried ordering it at other restaurants and it just doesn't compare, I don't know how they make it so yummy! They always have really awesome specials on their weekend menus and the food is just so satisfying here. The service is a little slow but I really don't even mind because I just love the food so much.

  7. The egg benedict is out of this world! I ordered the breakfast special that comes with potatoes. Very generous serving size at a very reasonable price. Everyone who works here are super nice and friendly. Will definitely come back and also try the Benny's bakery next door

  8. I had the steak and eggs here- it was ok. What I would definitely recommend is the sausage gravy. My brother got it as part of his dish so i asked for a side of it and used it on my home fries. SO good. The waitress we had was pretty funny. ok atmosphere. Gets packed but quick turnaround. No real waiting area. Its a good casual spot to stop in for a diner like breakfast.
