Blue Benn

Hubs and I went to the Blue Benn a few months ago and LOVED our breakfast!! I had the blueberry pancakes; which were light and fluffy, had a ton of blueberries in them and since the stack was too much for me to eat, I took a box home. They were equally good the next day!! Hubs had a ham and cheese omelet that he said was amazing!! We were in the area again and we were dying to try their lunch. I ordered the broiled haddock (love fried, but I'm trying to be fairly good) with mashed potatoes and coleslaw. The waitress was very nice and asked if I would like gravy on my mashed.....yes please!!! A few minutes later she brought me cottage cheese (not coleslaw, but i love CC so I took it), then my fish. The gravy was just melted butter, which again...made the potatoes taste good, and maybe their idea of gravy is butter??? The haddock was tasty and the red bliss mashed were tasty. Hubs had a turkey club which he loved. It came with hand cut fries that were crispy and fresh. He also got blueberry pancakes ti try there, and take home. Those were spot on again!!! Overall we were happy to go back and will do so again!!!

Retro and cozy. Cute decor. Huge pancakes. Server was nice and food came out fairly quick. Waited about 15 minutes or so to be seated.

All the diner classics plus some unique options on the menu. Hubby tried the country Benedict and I had the cornbread French toast. The food was very good but cold before I could eat and the butter wouldn’t spread. It was 55 degrees outside and they had windows and doors open. I put on a jacket and closed the window next to me. The waitress came over and opened it again saying “we’re keeping them open”

A fun spot with local flair! The Everything Bagel melt was amazing! Even though there was only one server for dinner time, she handled the ENTIRE place with speed, efficiency, and grace. Each diner was treated as though they were the only ones in the place, and yet no one seemed to wait more than an inordinate amount of time for service. The diner was clean, and very reminiscent of bygone years. We would definitely stop again if we pass this way!

We had high expectations based on everything we read about this place and they exceeded them all. We all ordered something different and loved our meals. We had a variety- blueberry pancakes, omelet, home fries, muffins and coffee. They offered to grill our muffin….don’t miss out on this deliciousness. Everyone had great customer service skills and seems to get along well. They don’t mess around either. As soon as the waitresses see food, they rush to get it to you when it’s piping hot! The cook’s energy was infectious. He clearly enjoys what he does. He’s been working here since he was 18, I think our waitress said. I am sure that contributes to the consistency in their tasty food. You may have a wait but I can see why. It’s totally worth it. Don’t miss your opportunity to experience this amazing diner. My picture of outside is 6am but there was a full parking lot and wait around 11am almost everyday that we were there.

We stopped here for lunch on our drive back from Burlington to New Jersey. It’s a totally random place on the side of the road that looks very unassuming from the outside, but as soon as you step inside, your transported back to the 1960s. The decor and atmosphere is extremely unique, the servers are all very much on their game (shoutout to Maddie, she was so sweet.), the menu is huge, and I have a feeling that no matter what you order it would be delicious. We got the blueberry almond pancakes with Vermont maple syrup and a grilled Mesa sandwich with sweet potato fries, both were humongous portions and absolutely delicious. If you find yourself in the Bennington area, this is a must go for lunch.

This place is renown for a reason… my best friend, and I visited on a whim and found it to be completely charming and like we went back in time. The servers were super friendly and we were seated at the bar. The menu is so extensive and there are so many vegetarian options. I opted to have the falafel on pita and it was fantastic. My husband said to me you have to go to the BLUE BENN diner if you know, what’s good for you… that was not an understatement. And we popped in around lunchtime on a Friday. You won’t be disappointed. It’s like eating in a dining car.

I've never been here and all the food was so good! The blueberry pancake was so yummy and the California Benedict was delicious. I cannot wait to come back when I visit my family!
