    This was our first experience at Benders and it was really good. Our server, Sean, was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable of the menu and specialties. Unfortunately they had run out of prime rib before we got there at 7:30 (which I will assume to be a testament to how good it is), so we got the strip steaks. They were very flavorful, cooked exactly as ordered and well worth the price point. We had the Benders fries, rice, steamed broccoli, and brussels sprouts as sides and they all were very good. The only slight down side was that it was a little on the loud side making conversation a bit difficult. However, it was a Saturday night, it’s is an older building with tin ceilings, and there wasn’t an empty table to be found so we made it work. Highly recommend Benders if you are in town and we look forward to going back soon.
