Visited 4 or 5 times with a big group while staying up the road during Tour Down Under. Every time the staff were so helpful, friendly service and went out of their way to make suggestions on beers and wines. Great 2 for 1 deals and happy hour. We held our end of week event there - the platters were so plentiful, tasty and good value. Lovely outdoor courtyard and cosy indoor dining. Can recommend.
The staff at this place are fantastic; jovial and very helpful when it came to recommendations etc
The pork belly was delicious, the chicken wings mouth watering. Good selection of wine and beer. Would recommend
Took the wife and in laws to the rebooted Thursday wings (and ribs) at the Benji. Staff were incredibly friendly and a great help. Ambience was delightful. Started with a couple of $4 schooners before tucking into wings, ribs, poutine and corn. All the food was excellent! The buffalo wings were tasty and the ribs were tender with a beautiful charred/smokey flavour. Poutine was delicious - chips were crispy while the curds and gravy were super flavoursome. Finished with both desserts. Well worth the visit, looking forward to getting back there!
Came here for an impromptu Friday lunch and were pleasantly surprised! The lunch food menu was great value with most dishes being between $12-$22, with a few hovering near $30. We ordered a deconstructed burrito and a jambalaya, both served in a large ceramic bowl and both were delicious. $20 each! The menu is inventive and interesting.
Standard wine list, many wines by the glass to choose from,and a big boutique beer collection on offer.
Service is casual, but we were happy to go in and order our selections for the day, and the waiter was obliging to switch on heater when it turned a little chilly outside.
All in all, quite a pleasant experience!
The scene is well described by others. It was a cold Sunday evening and our group of 6 arrived for dinner to find the place rocking with a DJ pumping out old and new rock to an eager crowd of 40-something's. We made our way out to the dining rooms and found an acceptably quiet table.
Unfortunately the cold breeze running through the pub couldn't be blocked out so a few of us looked like eskimos trying to stay warm. There were other better situated tables but it was too late for us to grab it.
Coming here for a comfortable meal and drink session is probably best done outside of winter, or when the DJ isn't happening. (Nothing against the DJ though, the crowd upstairs really enjoyed themselves)
All our meals were very good and despite being priced on the plus side we thought they were worth coming back for, especially to have out the back in one of the outside alcoves.
Organised a xmas ladies lunch in November - 16 people wanted the library room but needed one long table so got moved to Atrium Room.
Well the food the bar service the customer service was brilliant we had a wonderful afternoon. The ambience in this room and hotel is lovely and exactly what I wanted.
Do give them a call for a group booking they will do their best to give you what you want. Will be back for sure....
Been here many times and the food never disappoints! Whether it is sitting in a booth out the back on a summers night or by one of the indoor fireplaces in winter, this place is fab. Plenty of parking and staff always extremely friendly
Lovely food, good ambience, timely service. Clean, classy, low key, comfortable beer garden seating. Great for lunch and tapas. Stocks Kangaroo Island O'Gin and uses local SA produce. Nice place to eat after shopping at the motorbike store nearby :)
Our group had a long lunch on Saturday, everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal. Duck with a sprinkling of liquorice was delightful, we had an array of dishes which were delicious. Prices reasonable and the staff were welcoming and couldn't have done enough. I cannot explain the negatives maybe different chefs at different times.
Excellent Service. great food,. 12/ 10 : We had very good food here, with attentive speedy but not intrusive service. The Baramundi ( $17.00 + salad @ $2.50) was perfectly cooked, plenty for one person.The Burger with Squire's beer ($17.00) was a very good deal, tho I was a little disappointed that the delicious Burger ( with giant meant part !) had no vegetable content. [ Thinking about it later, we realised this is b/c many people despise their salad on principle, so they waste it ..!]. I'll have Side salad that next time.(was $2.50 extra, as above), The decor is eclectic Gen Y retro/vintage, nicely done. Even the tap water was drinkable, and - when we asked for it - not nearly frozen, on a cold May night.
Well done Benjamin's !
Love the name of this pub. Good play on words.
The service was outstanding at this pub. Very helpful and social with all customers we noticed and being visitors from Sydney we were made to feel special.
Outdoor and indoor seating options and we decided to sit out in the beer garden where the NRL was playing on a widescreen TV - very happy about that.
Ordered a share plate of food for dinner which was more than enough.
Good offering of food and drinks at this location
The staff are wonderful. Isiah is the manager and treats you like family. This is our local and we love the way your treated. Musical bingo is awesome. Food is good. Enzo is the chef. Great live bands.
Simple pub food done well and very reasonably priced.
There were 20 of us eating and everyone’s meal was well presented and well cooked.
Thank you also to the staff who let me bring a birthday cake for my daughter and then went above and beyond adding the strawberries and candles and presenting it so well despite being busy.
Your kindness was noted and appreciated.
Great pub, lived the sharing menu options. Great place for small groups. Enjoyed the beer garden. Food was amazing. Worth checking out.

Great bar on the city fringe. Absolutely love the crystal ceiling art instalment / lights - amazing. Hundreds if not thousands of crystal glasses hanging from the ceiling in a wave patter - $38k worth. The service is first class with various rooms and a large rear courtyard area. A great pub with great ambience and food.
We recently hosted our engagement party in the beer garden and could not recommend this venue enough!
Staff were so friendly and professional. They helped us throughout the night and were very accommodating.
Everyone enjoyed the food and the selection of drinks was great. The beer garden looked amazing and our guests commented on how perfect the space was for the event.
Thank you so much for helping us create a memorable night! :)
Fantastic wings!! $10 for 1kg of wings on Thursday nights. Staff very disorganized, gave us an extra kilo of wings (not complaining!). Food took a long time to come. BBQ, Buffalo, Caesar parm and maple flavour. Margarita pizza also good.
