My husband, four of our grandchildren, a visiting friend, and I ate at Bensons Eats and Treats, during the Old Fiddlers Reunion. The burgers, chicken strips, fries, gravy, toast, and ice cream were excellent! Service was exceptional! The chicken strip basket is highly recommended!

The food is amazing! We got 3 meals and 2 large desserts for under $50 too. Ask for the extended menu and the list goes on! Better than any commercial fast food restaurant which you can tell just by the taste that more thought and customization goes into the food that is made. I can’t even explain it… you HAVE to go for yourself to understand!

Great place in Athens! Best place for a good old fashion hamburger and fries. Staff are always pleasant and professional. Restaurant is clean and tidy, and food always taste fresh and hot. Great place for a family outing and want break the bank. I encourage you to experience yourself the service and quality of good food.

I am in love with the Hornet Stinger burger here and stop almost every week after the farmers market to get one on my way home. If you have not tried it you are missing out! Best burger I have ever tasted. Of course the addition of an Avalanche is usually a needed bonus as well.

Went to drive thru placed order then drove to pick-up window. They brought food out back door and gave it to someone else. When I asked where my food was told gave it to a black car I was in a white car. They never did come to the window. Worst service ever. Food was not that great once I did get it. Chicken strip basket and a barbecue sandwich which appeared to be from a can.

The food is about average, and hasn’t changed much since it was a Dairy Queen. The service is the same, not terrible but not quite exceptional. The atmosphere of the place, however, is depressing. Nobody smiles, and looking outside on a vacant lot which used to hold a play area for kids is a bit like looking at a copy of your favorite movie on VHS cassette: empty and useless.

We stopped in last night..The staff was so friendly and they were young. We ordered our food. And the y have a drive thru that’s needs were being taken care of. I will say there was a little wait on food but we ordered Fried stuff. When they brought it out to the table it looked BEAUTIFUL, Every item was fresh and HOT, and it was delicious, WELL WORTH waiting a little on. The Owner “Buffy” came over to the table and greeted us and was extremely nice!!!! Was great being treated warmly. The food menu looks like Diary Queens but the taste and quality and Size far exceeds any dairy queen I’ve ever been too. Love this place and all who work there!!! Thank yall….
