The Benson Brewery 6059 Maple Street, Omaha, NE 68104

"The pretzel sticks with smoked gouda cheese dip were amazing!"

"Nestled in the heart of downtown historic Benson, this hidden gem gives you the local pub feel you want in a leisurely afternoon. The food is good (PRETZELS!!!!) and the staff I've dealt with are genuinely interested in my overall experience. Does it get busy on weekends? Yes. All the bars down there do, and so you don't go in for fast food, you go for fun, beer and friends. They brew their own beer and have a guest beer as well. Sours, IPAs, Lagers, etc... and my favorite thing is to try what's new. FREE SAMPLES!!!! This staff will know you after you've stopped in a few times, and you are treated like honored family. Fun attitudes, great sense of humor. Their major fault is that the staff are largely Cub fans, but even a Cardinal fan can feel at home. It's not a sports bar, so you can relax and converse with whoever came with you, or sit at the bar and chat with the patrons, bartender and staff... all very friendly. :)"

"The Chi beer was my favorite. Great atmosphere and staff were friendly. Beers were a bit over average. The passion fruit had excellent profile in the beer for in your face tasty brew."

"Ordered poutine to decide whether or not to eat dinner as the folks next to us didn’t sound thrilled with their meal. Fries & poutine came out cold. Gravy on side was hot. Asked if that was normal waiter said well no, but the cheese was melted so they were hot at one point? Waiter Stuck same fries in oven for us for 2 min & came out a hot plate- Luke warm & 3/4 cold fries. Not much better. 4 cheese curds chunks melted on a plate of fries. Did not offer to remake & after we asked for the reheat waiter seemed to avoid us. We went to bar to check out as waiter didn’t return."

"This was a lively place on a Saturday night. But not busy enough that I couldn't get a seat at the bar. The bartender (Monica? ) was friendly and attentive. I got. a cream ale that was okay - could have used a little more body for a cream ale. The cubano sandwich was really good and the fries were tasty. The sandwich made me so full that I didn't have room for another beer. Maybe next time, and there will be a next time!"
