| - First off, I wish I could give Benjamins an extra half star for excellent service and beautiful bathroom. Seriously, the bathroom is spectacular and they handled our party of 11 like complete pros.
My problem is, the burger I had just doesn't stand up to others I've had in the city. It's good, but nothing mind blowing. I started my meal off with a side salad, which was a little odd because it had salsa on top. It was a very tasty salad with good balsamic dressing, dont get me wrong, but definitely the first time I had salsa on a salad (and not much else). I ordered the Top Shelf burger with Aged Cheddar cheese. I got a side of home fries. I added bacon and pickles to the burger.
The burger was big, with toppings piled high. Not a bad thing, but I appreciate a bun that can handle a big burger, which this was not. I ended up eating most of the burger with a fork and knife, and just picking out the bacon and eating it by itself (it was really good bacon). The pickles were not standard dill pickles, but a sweet and spicy pickle which was OK, but not what I would have chosen. The home fries were good, but let's face it, not french fries, which is what I think everyone wants instead.
I'll stress again how great the service was... they separated all of our checks without us even asking. They were extremely attentive and friendly. I would go back just based on this fact. Great service like that is hard to find!
