"My partner and I decided to give Benji's another chance since we got a free dinner coupon in the mail (on our first visit, we were not impressed with the food). Big mistake! At any price, this place is not worth the time to visit.\n\nWe waited 30 minutes on a not-so-crowded Saturday night for the following:\n\nI ordered the Shrimp and Sausage Pasta. Other than the bits of sausage, it had absolutely NO taste. Everything was cooked well enough and the presentation was good, but there was no flavor at all. I tried salting it to no effect. Nothing was going to save this bland dish.\n\nMy partner ordered the special, Fried Chicken with Macaroni and Asparagus. The chicken was a little over cooked and was too salty. The mac and cheese and asparagus had NO flavor. \n\nWe did order an appetizer, the shrimp tempura. As this appetizer generally does not have too much flavor anyway, they mastered it.\n\nAlthough Benji's is conveniently located for us (we live in Highland Creek) and although the atmosphere is upbeat and inviting, there is no way we will ever visit this place again. They could offer me free meals for life and I would not go back.\n\nIn our book, two strikes and you are out."^^ . "1"^^ . "0"^^ .
