Customer Reviews

Forget BEACH CAFE in miller for lake perch! Bench warmers beats them hands down!! The perch is fresh not frozen also nice presentation on plate. The battered fries are so good as well as fried green tomatoes. The sports murals are spot on !!!! GREAT JOB EVERYONE, See you on FRIDAYS for perch.

Great! The rib special was perfect. Fall off the bone is exactly what I want in a rib and thatโ€™s how itโ€™s served.
There was some big groups, and like everywhere these days they were slightly short staffed, but the staff here was outstanding, kept us updated and were professional in how they took care of us.
We are coming back.

Our family loves this place! The food is excellent and the servers and bartenders always take great care of us. Plus our kids love murals covering the walls. Such a great vibe ๐Ÿ™‚

My husband and I were blown away with the fresh and tasty food . We enjoyed the best pretzel and cheese sticks weโ€™ve ever had . The burgers were so good , that we ordered wings to go . Loved !

Danielle Barrett

Our entire family was so impressed by this restaurant. I got the fried green tomato BLT. Let me tell you, it tasted just like how my mom used to make it. A lot of nostalgia. I will be eating here again!

Cassandra Kormendy

We had a really great waitress and the food was terrific! A little pricey for some things but COVID has drawn up the price of ingredients so understandable.

The quality of everything was great and when you ask for extra toppings they actually give you extra.

We will definitely be back again!

We had pizza , fried pickles , spinach dip, fried shrimp, and pizza.

Tiffany Castilleja

I’ve been here a few times and their staff is great and the place is super clean. Also they have the best grilled cheese and mozzarella sticks ever. Highly recommend everyone try them out. Best grilled cheese I ever had hands down.

Gabrielle Howell

This was our first visit to Benchwarmers and OMG!! Our appetizer was their fried green tomatoes and mozzarella sticks both was large portions and SO GOOD! We was very impressed that their mozzarella sticks and fried green tomatoes was homemade so that made them that much better! I never had a burger with an egg so I decided to try their grand slam burger and it was amazing! My husband had their Stromboli and that was delicious (I had to have a bite because it looked so good lol) We had so much left we are able to have another meal later if we still arenโ€™t to full. We will definitely be back!!

Tanya Farley

I was on the fence because of the negative reviews but the wife and I gave it a shot anyway. Glad we did ! Food and service was great. Had mozzarella sticks and fried green tomatoes. Both are homemade and really good. The portions a large. We also ordered the Grandslam Burger and a Stromboli. Those both very good and more the enough to fill your tummy. Looking forward to going back and trying some other options.

Great portions literally can never finish my meals and that says a lot for me. Friendly staff and food tastes great. I have seen some negative reviews but people need to understand how tough it is to find quality employees. The owners are great people and listen to their customers and are making some adjustments.

Bosco Sticks are from another planet that only serves amazing food.

Iโ€™m traveling through for work but if Iโ€™m ever back in the area I will absolutely come back.

Ashley is amazing as well. TRY IT!

Jake Anderson

Tried this place on a whim, everything was amazing! Worth going to even if it’s just for the Bosco Sticks, but the wings and burgers are also ๐Ÿ”ฅ.

Ashley was one of the best bartenders / waitresses I’ve ever had! This place is a must try.

Matt Sutton

Great new place! Lots of screens and good beer selection for all of your sports watching!

The traditional wings are lightly breaded and properly cooked.

Do not skip the mozzarella stick appetizer as they are incredible.

I am looking forward to coming back to take pictures of all the sports related art work for my next post.
