An exclusive look inside an unmissable breakfast diner


Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Don’t fight us on this one, we’ve decided it’s hard facts. Why? Because Bennys diner is a thing, and their breakie options are ridiculously delicious.

This place is retro goals from floor to ceiling. We’ve got mannequins dressed like old school servers, pinup-style art, and throwback signage that screams “‘gram me!!”. So naturally, we’re gonna ‘gram it. And so should you.

But before you get started on that, we highly recommend diving into the menu. What you choose is up to you, but we’d be lying if we didn’t have a couple faves. Let’s start it off with their classic burger.
This thing literally looked photoshopped. But nah– no filters here, it’s just that good. Enjoy bacon, pastrami, cheddar, swiss, mushrooms, and a fried egg. This also has the groceries and mayo on a brioche bun. ‘Scuse us while we drool excessively.

Next up: waffles. But we’re not doing basic, although Bennys’ basic stuff is crazy good to begin with. We’re talkin’ Campfire, baby! Graham crackers, chocolate, caramel sauce, toasted marshmallows. It’s a dream.

It’s no shock that Bennys has amazing bennys, though. They’ve got 17(!!) on their menu– from Italia to Mac ‘n’ Cheese to Surf ‘n’ Turf, they’ve got it all. But we gotta say that the Perogie one takes the cake for us. They added bacon to carby cheese pockets, so of course we swooned.


Grab a shake, grab a stupid amount of food, and get down to work. If you’re hitting this place in the AM, we promise you won’t ever wake up on the wrong side of the bed again.
