5 Star rating because it just "feels" like home. The food, customers, ,waitstaff, and the owner made me feel as if I were a part of their family. I truly felt welcomed. Now to the food, I had breakfast at this lovely diner, and it was wonderful I had country, ham, grits, toast, two eggs, and black coffee stars.. At the time I went, you can only pay by cash. I'm not sure if things have changed but bring your wallet not because it's expensive just because they only take the cash. So...if you want some down home country cooking, I.e. collard greens, pinto beans, grits,, etc. this is your place to go. Take your seat when you walk in, you will not be seated and speak to everyone because they will be speaking to you. Bon appétit'

Country style cooking that is best. A great place for locals to meet for breakfast lunch or dinner don't forget to bring cash. No cards are excepted when I went, but they have a little ATM machine everyone's local, the food is amazing and they give you plenty it's like going home to mamas house, I forgot to take a picture of my breakfast, but I had liver mush, grits, eggs, and coffee. Thumbs up.

Love the food!! The service is friendly and it's a really cute family owned business. Highly recommend checking it out!

The food here is awesome. It's a small local place. Cash only but have a ATM inside. Service is nice and friendly. Highly recommend.

Best breakfast in town without a doubt! Doesn't matter what you get- it'll be delicious.

The Thursday night fish dinner is delicious!!! Service is great & friendly!Great sanitation grade. Angela

Nothing beats the burger and corn nuggets on those lazy days where you just don't want to cook.

If traveling Hwy 601 into Monroe try Benton's.I've been in here several times in the week.First time had a plate lunch and veggies.On my next trip I tried a burger and fries.Both visits very good.Then my wife and I stopped in on another Saturday she had a corn dog and fries.I had a chesse burger and a hot dog.Both mustard-chili-slaw(mayonnaise or white) very good.Benton's has a very good slaw,and chili.Their burger is a big burger cooked on a flattop with a good taste.As soon as you come in the door of this little country diner you are greeted by the owner or on of the waitress's.They are very quick with a menu and your drink as soon as your seated.We really love mom and pop places like this.Normally you find good home style cooking and desserts.Benton's has it covered.

I love this place. It helps that it's 4min from home, but nonetheless, they have a dynamite breakfast. I can only vouch for the breakfast because that's all I've ever gotten. And with as many times that I've been there, the sweet cook Sylvia will make my eggs and hashbrowns whenever I come in. They have a lunch special everyday and if it's not on the message board by the road, it's definitely listed inside. Good sweet tea and it's always in a styrofoam cup so it's ready to go when you are! They used to have window A/C in the summer and space heaters in the winter. Now with the new owners of the building, central heat and air is in place and it's much more comfortable. Classic country playing on the TV compliments the southern hospitality that you get as soon as you walk in. Only warning is they don't take cards. But there is an ATM inside. Other than that, I have no complaints.
