This is one of the hidden gems of the Fort Worth area, a real homespun cafe with great food and great prices. Luncheon specials include coffee or tea, chicken fried steak is one of the best in the area, bacon cheeseburger that would cost $15 in Dallas can be had for less than $9. Good soups and salads and homemade pies! Service is great with friendly waitresses. At one time this place was a bit dodgy, but it was temodelled during the COVID mess and is just fine now. Well worth the drive, I’m not sure which side of the Fort Worth-Benbrook city limits it’s it’s on!

I must say that this place was better than I was expecting. When I drove past this restaurant the first time, there was only one vehicle in front, which increased my curiosity. I went later for dinner. I had the catfish and hushpuppies entree. Although the flavor was bland, I was able to add my own seasoning and ketchup to improve the flavor. They also weren't selfish with the amount of food for the price! I may return to try something else next.

Benbrook cafe
After passing Benbrook Cafe numerous times and seeing the parking lot always full, we decided to stop in for breakfast. The location, next door to a gas station, is a hole in the wall and part of an older strip mall set up. It’s definitely nothing fancy.
We were allowed to seat ourselves and our waitress did a wonderful job of keeping our coffee hot and full. I ordered the Two Egg breakfast which included grits and wheat toast. I also added an order of shredded hash browns, because it’s not breakfast if there’s no potatoes! My husband ordered the Bacon or Sausage breakfast with Sausage and added an order of hash browns to his order as well. The food arrived hot, but both of our eggs were undercooked to our specifications and the wheat toast wasn’t very palatable - even with the addition of whipped butter. The grits were delicious, but the hash browns weren’t crispy even though the outside was browned.
Pros: They offer senior citizens discounts, breakfast discounts from 6:00 - 11:00 am and daily specials. The service was wonderful and they offer pies in a cooler by the register if you’re looking for dessert.
Cons: The food just didn’t measure up. Breakfast staples like eggs and hash browns were undercooked. The inside decor was tired, the floors were messy and the supplies were disorganized. The ceiling tiles were discolored and drooping from the ceiling. We felt like there was a lot of room for improvement as far as sanitation, cleanliness and organization. Sadly, we have no plans to return and it’s not a restaurant that we’d recommend.

We stopped by this little cafe when passing through Benbrook. The cafe was pretty busy, but service was fast and friendly. We ordered two slices of pie, coffee, and a basket of fries. The pies were excellent, the coffee was fresh, but the fries were slightly soggy and a bit greasy. No big deal, it happens sometimes. This is a small town cafe, not a Michelin Star restaurant, so they get a pass. Looking around at what everyone else was eating makes me want to come back and try some other items.

I want to give 3.5 stars. I loved my cheeseburger. It is a greasy spoon place. A rough worn atmosphere, including customers, but everyone is nice. The staff appear to be trying to do what they can without owner/management support. The day we arrived, they started charging a fee for credit cards. Yet, nobody at the diner knew anything about it before that morning and had no explanation why. The corrected order of cheesesticks were cook thoroughly. First ones were cold inside. The salad and fries were great. My wife says the chicken fried steak was pretty good. Yet, something in there led to rapid digestion. May try again in a few months.

Good breakfast, fast service, and good price. Sundays at lunch can be a little crowded but still they will serve you quickly.

Unassuming little cafe that's been here forever, it seems. Somehow, my husband and I had never eaten here before this past Sunday. We both had the Southern Breakfast. Oh my goodness, it was fantastic. Hubby had hashbrowns. I had the home fries. Both were good and crispy. The eggs were cooked perfectly to my "over medium " preference. The biscuit was light and fluffy. The sausage gravy was perfectly seasoned.
They were very busy, but the staff was amazing. They had fabulous attitudes and welcoming smiles. We definitely recommend.

What a great, little cafe. Lots of menu choices, friendly employees, clean facilities and tasty food. We had some hand made onion rings which were served piping hot and were yummy. I had the chef salad, which was quite large, fresh and delicious. I also enjoyed the rolls. The ladies room was also clean.
