Old school steak  3 Star Rating - Satisfactory

Good atmosphere for steak and glass of red wine after a long day at work. Nice bar at entrance. Service is great. Highly recommend the porterhouse cut.

Touristtrap/amateur steak house 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

Steak this bad shouldnt be allowed to be served. I made the mistake of going once, because I had a brain meltdown and was "open-minded" what a mistake-I'll never make it again and neither should you.

Pros: NOT A SINGHE THING
Cons: THE DISGUSTING MEAT

Fantastic Steaks! 5 Star Rating - World class

I've tried most of the NYC steakhouses and find myself returning to Ben Benson's more often than any other. The steaks are simply fantastic, meaty, juicy and cooked perfectly every time. Of course, sides like creamed spinach and hash browns don't disappoint either. Highly Recommended!

Pros: Steaks, Sides

Love Ben Benson's 5 Star Rating - World class

My husband & I have been to many steakhouses in the city but we always return to Ben Benson's. From the delicious meats to the seafood to the desserts, they never disappoint. Recently, we sent our picky Texan friends who were in from out of town. They're always bragging about the steaks in Texas but even they had to admit to loving Ben Benson's.
