Definitely a must stop place. The smoked salmon omelet was so good. The best omelet Ive ever eaten. The blueberry pancakes were also scrumptious with the real maple syrup. So many menu choices made it hard to decide

We were in the area leaf peeping & someone recommended Blue Benn for breakfast. Very small, old rail car turned diner- the food was hot & delicious! Service was great. If we are ever in the area again we will definitely be back!

Conveniently located on Rt 7 in Bennington, VT, The Blue Benn is exactly the diner you expect it to be…good food, good price and good service.We stopped here for lunch after camping at Emerald Lake State Park, and because The Blue Benn got the Stephen Colbert Small Biz Bump a few weeks ago, so it was nice to help them out with some business.While they are located right on the main road, there is good parking in the back.

A real diner! They closed for awhile, seems theyve changed owners. Now theres an outdoors eating area surrounded by boxed and potted planters with luscious herbs and flowers screening one somewhat from the traffic on this main thoroughfare. Menu hasnt changed much, yeah! One can get a regular breakfast (2 eggs, toast, potatoes) at a reasonable price. Home made pies with flaky crusts (rather than cookie dough crusts which I like better.) Soup is seasonal. Inside seating can be in 4 people sized booths or at the counter on old time stools, forgot to test if the stools spin! Is a popular place with locals so dont be surprised if theres a wait. There are no call ahead reservations.

Very hard finding food as a tourist in Vermont but Blue Ben diner got the job done. very small on the inside but it fits the aesthetic of the diner. It feels like you travel back in time a bit. Staff was friendly, no issues with our breakfast. Can’t beat the prices!

If you find yourself in Bennington, VT, DO be sure to have breakfast at the Blue Benn Diner! The food is outstanding and the service is great! I could taste the fresh butter and quality ingredients in every bite. I had the Marcus Special omelet which was filled with VT cheddar, apples, sauteed onions and bacon. It was absolutely delicious!

This motel is dated but it met my need for a clean, comfortable room at a reasonable price. The owner was very helpful in scheduling my stay. I would definitely stay here again.

Its a small Diner with limited parking, but the food was wonderful. The staff was very friendly and if I visit this area again, this will be my choice for breakfast.

Been here about 4 years ago on my way to upstate NY and I gotta tell y’all the food was AMAZING. The service was good and I loved the old-school feel to the diner itself. Will definitely go back again.

Old school diner with great food!!!!

Great food and a lot of it

Fantastic diner with old-timey ambience, servers with a touch of attitude, great food, and fast service. Loved it!!

Great old school diner. Friendly staff and good food. Served quickly

Bridget behind the counter is a whirlwind of efficiency with a smile. Kudos to the amazing short order cook who turns out high quality, delicious eats. My Popeye Benedict even had that rarity of an extra crispy English muffin.

We went in and sat down after waiting for a booth for 10 minutes. They ended up serving everyone around us even though they were seated after us. After they came back around to serve the others their food I finally said something about not being served. The lady replied with a rude “alright” and continued to walk away. We also had small kids with us so we just got up and left. They said nothing. Went down the street to jensens and got served within 5 mins.

Really good food and decent prices. Fun classic diner. Normally really packed on the weekends. The staff isn’t the most welcoming but that kind of seems to be common in Bennington VT.

The Blue Benn, a quaint old-fashioned diner, is a Bennington landmark. Its a little pricey for a diner, but the service is very good, and the servings are generous-- more than I could eat. Their Home fries are done right--velvety on the inside. Most diners serve home fries that are underdone. I had an eggs Benedict dish with spinach. The eggs were done perfectly, and the hollandaise was yummy! Unfortunately I couldnt eat the spinach and English muffin. Usually I love spinach, but its juice had soaked into the muffin making it soggy, and there was a pronounced bitter flavor. I think they probably use frozen chopped spinach and need to roll servings on paper towel and wring out all the juice. Fresh whole-leaf steamed spinach would make a world of difference. My sausage was delicious, though, and hubs completely enjoyed his country-style breakfast plate with sourdough toast. I tried the toast--it was good! Tasted homemade. Finally, they have cabinet filled with pies--I would have loved to try that Lemon meringue! It looked so good!

It was as wonderful this time as before. And breakfast was good. Try it when in Bennington, Vermont

Best omelets ever!!! Friendly with great service. Heidi was amazing!!

Very good and brought back memories for my Partner and his friend..now we have new ones!

Fun atmosphere. Husband loved the Rueben sandwich and I had the California Eggs Benedict, delicious. Fresh and light tasting. Really glad we stopped there.

Great diner experience in rural Vermont. Food was absolutely delicious.

It was our first time dining here, we went for Easter breakfast and it was absolutely amazing. Great food with good portions (we were stuffed), hospitality was at an all time high, and the retro look is so awesome. We will definitely go back and highly recommend you stopping in as well.

Everything we ate was delicious. The wait staff was kind and the old diner atmosphere was nice.

Oh my this is a wonderful place for lunch! We all had a falafel Burger with tahini sauce, a Mesa Sandwich, a Chicken sandwich & a BLT sandwich! If you love old vintage Dines this is a cute quaint eatery!

It’s ok. Very popular but the pictures on the reviews looked better than the food actually served. They seem to use good ingredients and they are adequately prepared but I wasn’t blown away

Blue Benn Breakfast (daily!) is always a must and favorite of ours when we’re in town. Everything is always top notch!

Last time there in the 70s...and its STILL just as good!!!

Fantastic find and top notch breakfast to boot. Highly recommend checking it out when in the area.

Classic American diner experience. At least for this British visitor. Highly recommended. Food and service very good, with helpful and knowledgeable tips and advice from the waitresses for attractions and activities in the local area. YMMV if you are a local and have more experience of diner culture.

The Blue Benn was a good diner dining experience, like always!

Fantastic atmosphere and delicious food. We will be back soon.

I have gone here since 1994 and consider it one of the best places to eat that I have been to. People are great that run it also! Atmosphere is wonderfully yesteryear!!

Who doesnt love the Blue Benn? I love the Garden Scramble. My daughter loves their pesto omelet. My sister loves their veggie burger. Yummy!

Delicious food! Home made donuts, pies! Quaint diner, friendly staff!

My favorite diner in the world - huge variety, including vegetarian options, Mexican, middle eastern, traditional New England favorites. Amazing baked goods!

Great food great service fair price and love the atmosphere so glad I went been to long

Good food. Great service.

Hidden gem for sure! A little worn on the outside but everything inside is delicious! Pro tip, order the cinnamon donut grilled with raspberry jam on the side. 😍After the donut I had a simple one egg, hash browns and toast meal. The egg was cooked perfect, and the hash browns were flavorful - maybe a tad salty.

Classic. No thrills. Good.

Great old time diner serving comfort food. Lots of choices.We always stop here when in Vermont for Battle Days. Reasonable prices. Cash only so no credit cards.Open faced roast beef with real mashed potatoes is awesone. So is their roast turkey.Breakfast served all day. Always crowded at breakfast. Where the locals eat. For good food and huge portions...a must stop.

Great service, delicious meals and all the nostalgia I grew up with.

Terrible service! Very rude had to get up and leave!

Came here on the recommendation of two different friends who didnt know each other. They told me to try the pancakes but was there at lunchtime. I tried the special fried haddock (its so special that it is the special twice a week). Good catch to my friends (pun intended).

The hot hamburger sandwich was great. All the portion sizes here are generous, and the staff are friendly.

Took my dad for his birthday breakfast a cpl days after it reopened under new ownership. Food was delicious, we both enjoyed our visit and he kept to his word of keeping it pretty much the same. Definitely will be back

Just reopened under new management. Food and menu as delicious as ever. Online ordering was not very clear so phoned in order and everything was perfect.

I give 5 stars for the experience. Keep in mind its a very small place. Dont eat here if you are in a hurry. Unless the bar is available you will have to wait for a table. I sit at the bar when I ate lunch here. Service was friendly and fast. It was a bustling little diner. Definitely taking a step back in time here. You can tell the countertops are worn down from years and years of thousands of elbows. A one of a kind place to eat.

Awesome breakfast! Quaint establishment. I really liked this joint.

Not a ton of non-meat and/or dairy-free options, but I got the nut burger which was this giant patty made from chickpeas and nuts, served on a toasted split pita with onion, lettuce, sprouts, and mayo. It was good, though a little bland. The decor is very classic diner, including the jukeboxes next to the booths - but in addition to Elvis and Marvin Gaye, my jukebox had Ed Sheeran. Not a big space, for COVID they are skipping every other booth and there are plastic dividers breaking up the counter into sections. It was really a treat to get to eat inside for the first time in a very long time, and while the food wasnt anything special, the charm was totally there.

Great food and lightening quick service!

Absolutely amazing food. Holy yum. Such a cool experience too! Drove an hour out of our way to revisit

Free range eggs on request, crispy toast, real maple syrup, thick pancakes with lots of blueberries...yum. Jukebox at the booths. Friendly service.

Great service and best home fries ever!!

Food was good but waitresses was a grouch!

Great Food, cute diner, no nonsense service. Will come back!

I love going to the Blue Benn so glad it reopened. The food is fresh, delicious & there are unique options to try something “different “

Still the Best blueberry pancakes.

This is what I needee. Fantastic service, lovely food, and coffee before I need to ask.

A great breakfast this morning and a wonderful staff.

Great food, reasonably priced left very full.

Love the old time diner, delicious Vermont breakfast, excellent service!

So nice place to eat in Bennington Vermont had to country fried steak and they had the meatloaf and an omelette and everybody enjoy their meal

As good as ever! Very happy they reopened and kept everything pretty much the same.

Place was packed. The staff was working hard today. Funky little diner. Good breakfast. Love the individual jukeboxes. Would recommend.

I recently go their on Sunday breakfast on March 21st. I had Bridgett as a waitress. She was friendly and very nice to talk with.

Truly a unique (and enjoyable) breakfast experience. Off the beaten path but worth seeking out. We even enjoyed bantering with the waitstaff. Well visit here again on our next trip through town.

Country Benedict was delicious!

Great food, lovely people serving you and small town history permeates the space.

Excellent. Even had plant based options.

Its a busy little place. Had a good breakfast. Staff was very nice. Nothing fancy but theres nothing wrong with that.

Great food and atmosphere!!

Nostalgic, delicious! Best corned beef hash ever! 😋!!!

Delicious greasy spoon diner and I wouldnt have had it any other way! They only take cash so plan ahead.

If you like old railcar diners this is the place! Good food, great atmosphere and reasonable prices.

Food is incredible. Get the country benedict

This was a first visit for me. We got seated very quickly which was a surprise cause the diner is a bit small but I believe thats what adds to the character of the place itself. After placing our orders we took a look at their song list. Im a big fan of vintage so this was great way to pick songs. The food was a bit of a hit and miss, I got a ham and cheese omelet while my girlfriend got the blueberry pancakes. The omelet was satisfactory but didnt blow me away. The pancakes however, those were the winner of the meal. They were DELICIOUS! Overall I would recommend this place to anyone in the area or just visiting. They do not accept credit cards but its a very nice environment to step back into. Thank you for the meal blue ben, I will be returning soon for more to come!

The vibes of this diner scream vintage. The staff are welcoming and friendly, treating you like an old friend/member of their family as soon as you walk in. Service-wise, there was no wait to be seated and my company and I had our orders taken as soon as we were seated with little-to-no wait to get our food. The food was delicious and the memory bittersweet, because we spent maybe 15 minutes eating. Awesome place to get a bite to eat and feel welcomed.

Great service, great value. We were seated right away, and they had our food out to us soon after we put the order in. I got the Sir Benn omelet, substituting a lemon-blueberry poppyseed muffin for toast. So worth the trip, would absolutely come back

I love this place. I have been coming here for over 20 years. On the wall there are tons of specials. Dont be afraid to try them! Anything you get here will be fantastic. Their omelettes are also world class as well.

Great little resturaunt, local place to eat. Small, tons of specials posted all over the wall. Great prices and the food is very good.

Food was okay, atmosphere was pretty cool, service was decent. I had an omelette with smoked meats and Vermont chedder. It was okah, but I dont think the meat was smoked. Popular with tourists, UT it seemed like the staff didnt really like that. Otherwise, its a nice little diner.

Great food and such friendly service

Unique and one of a kind. The service and the food was just what I wished it would be.

Always the best diner around 👍👍

One of our favorite breakfast spots in Bennington!

The cooks and service is very good more than your regular greasy spoon.there There is something for everyone.

Good old fashioned diner with big portions of tasty food

This dinner has been around since the 1920s and its still in the same spot! The atmosphere is great, and stepping in the door, you swear for a few minutes you have time warped... and then you hear a familiar, but much more recent, song on the radio and you know you might still be in the latter half of the twentieth century... so you may not have traveled as far back as you thought!

Awesome Diner! Huge selection of food. The service is excellent.

Delicious food. Giant portions.

Ive recently returned to the area after 30 plus years away. Sadly Ive been disappointed that most of my favorite places are gone or arent like they used to be. The Blue Benn Dinner however is still excellent. Their food and service are the best. Thank you Blue Benn

The Blue Benn is a well preserved piece of Americas past where you will get good food, great service, and a sense of community which is rare in todays society. Everything is pretty much the same as it was when it was built in the 40s to include the working Jukebox at each table. All very clean and in good repair. The place is tiny and very popular so expect a wait. The menu is surprisingly diverse and has both the expected classics as well as some interesting culinary adventures. I recommend the California Benedict. Also, bring cash as that is all they accept.

It was a journey back in time to the classic diner experience. We arrived for a late lunch and still had to wait for a table. Beware aware that the place is small so the booths are a tight squeeze for 4 adults, but there is plenty of parking. I was surprised by the extensive menu. And be sure to check out the board and the wall because its not all on the printed menu. We all enjoyed our turkey burger, hamburger steak with all the fixings and a southwest-type sandwich. Not sure how I managed to save room for some strawberry-rhubarb crisp. Service was quick and friendly. Hope to come back for breakfast sometime. Although it is served all day. **cash only**

My favorite breakfast in Southern Vermont

I loved this place in the 80s! This legendary diner has just been purchased by a Bennington alumnus, and I cant wait until it reopens, resurrected!

This is a small, no frills diner...easy to find & easy to park. Food is tasty & menu basic. Many items are written on colored paper & pasted on the wall. No exotic herbs or fancy garnishes here! Staff friendly & oblidgeing. Its been around a long time & part of town history.

Great place to stop and eat! Friendly staff and great food! An original 50s diner with a hometown feel. Like eating from moms kitchen. Loved it!!!

A throwback to analog days. Great food and prices cash only no c.c. Service was great!

Best diner youll find in this small state. So many menu options and everything always tastes amazing. Staff is friendly and efficient. Love the Blue Benn.
