| - I love burgers so this isn't much of a stretch for me. If you are looking for a casual dining experience, some nice cocktails, and cheap beer specials then I think Benjamins would do you well. I keep my burgers simple (American cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayo), so I haven't strayed too much on ordering anything else.
I will say that the appetizers that we've order have left us a little wanting. We did order the cured meat tray, which was billed "as the best in Pittsburgh", didn't quite live up to that. Was good enough, but nothing to live up to that hype. We also ordered the baked brie, which was tasty but didn't really have that much actual brie in it. Soft pretzels however are great, as soft pretzels always seem to be.
Besides my burgers, in which I always order a double, my wife tried the roasted portobello sandwich and Rosemary-Balsamic Goat Cheese & Green Apple burger. Both were adored.
The ambiance is great, it's cozy, and warm. That does have it's downside though. It can get crowded, and sometimes I do leave smelling a bit like the grill. None of these negatives have stopped me from going back though, as I've been there 3 times in the last two months.
