I have passed by this restaurant numerous times but have never recognized it as a restaurant. It's nestled in a non-descript building which I loved because there wasn't any obnoxious decor. The inside made me feel right at home and was very casual. At the event, they offered four types of sliders: a goat cheese vegetarian burger, pulled pork, crab cake, and bacon jalapeno burger. I'll talk about the sliders from my most favorite to my least favorite slider starting with the bacon jalapeno burger. It had the right amount of spiciness and the bacon was enough to cut through the spiciness. The pulled pork and crab cake are next. I was impressed that the crab cake had actual lumps of crab in it. The pulled pork could have had more sauce on it but the coleslaw on the top was a perfect complement to the pork. My least favorite slider was the vegetarian slider made of goat cheese. The breading of the slider was made of some type of nuts and was too chunky for me. They also offered appetizer samples which included a crostini with smoked salmon and grits with shrimp. I highly recommend the grits with shrimp. It was actually the best thing I ate there.
Benjamin's is a great place for a date, family reunion, or just to catch up with friends. Their cozy and relaxed decor, choice of food, and location make it an excellent place to try. I'm definitely getting the grits with shrimp the next time I go back!
