The Scene
If you find yourself in strawberry country in eastern Hillsborough County at breakfast time, you can look forward to an unusually delicious breakfast from this longtime, family-owned restaurant. The decor is country charming, with a tiny garden blooming out front, and a pretty, simple aqua color scheme inside accented by brass lamps and shiny country knickknacks. It attracts a varied crowd, from senior citizens to 2-year-olds.
The Food
The pancakes are soft inside, crispy and steaming outside. The bacon is crispy. The sausage is good quality. They cover the breakfast spectrum from a fancy pecan and bacon waffle to a simple bagel with cream cheese. However, one of the best dishes is potato pancakes and fried apples. Order Tennessee country ham to go with it--it should hold you till lunch.

Come over to the states to see freinds every year and going to Bens a few times is a must. Having gone through most of the menu have never had need to complain. great food, freindly service, what more do you want.

Well, I was going to eat there tonight, and possibly still will, however, it is going to take place later than I wanted to. If you try looking up info on the restaurant, you will not find very much on it, accept some excellent reviews, so that is wonderful. I wanted to see the menu however, and I can't find it on the web, so I called to get a copy faxed to me, but they don't even have a fax machine. Frankly, every business (especially a successful one) should have some means to share their product outside of their building. I am pretty disappointed that I couldn't even get a menu faxed. I hope other businesses will take note. I worked in restaurants for 13 years doing everything. I love restaurants, and hopefully may have my own little place one day, but I know for a fact that I will advertise my product in every way I possibly can, so the world will know what I have to offer.

I have been going to Ben's Family Restaurant since before it moved to the location it is now (that was a very long time ago). I have always enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and the food is always good. I especially like going for breakfast but the lunch and dinner menus are good too.
