I used to love Benny the Bums. The She Crab soup was to die for. I went with a Girls' Night Out this summer and was very dissappointed. I really wanted to give it another try. It was bad. Soup was okay ... not what it used to be. We had a table of six. At my suggestion, we all had the soup - some had Crab and others had Clam Chowder. All of us said it was good but not great. We ordered salads and sandwiches. Sandwiches were just okay. Salads were bad -- wilted lettace and ho hum presentation. Service??? Bus boys were 100% attentive. Waitress was awful. She didn't have the time of day for us. I tried to get her attention for additional napkins and she was too busy chit chatting to bother even looking at her table. Never again!

The food got mixed reviews from our large party. The seafood is excellent. The appetizers and the salads were good. The pasta was overcooked, and their sauces were boring, which is a really big deal in our family. We liked the atmosphere and the service. Stick with the seafood and you will like it here.

I've been here for drinks many times, but never for dinner. What a nice surprise! Our waitress was excellent. She timed each entree perfectly and wasn't overbearing. We had everything from the appetizers to dessert and definitely enjoyed it all. If you are in the mood for seafood, but not looking to spend a lot of money, then Benny's is the place to be. I've definitely had better seafood, but can honestly say that I would have no reservations about eating dinner here again. I loved the idea that each booth had it's own television which allowed us to watch the 76ers play without twisting and turning our bodies to see the televisions in the bar area. Oh and by the way....The brownie waffle dessert was insanely good!

Great neighborhood place for seafood, especially if you're a fan of old-fashioned eating crabs with your hands - yummy!

Service could have been better. Had the other "off duty" servers and staff sitting right behind us. They were complaining about stuff. Server did not help out on suggestions - I've never been there before and never eaten the smaller crabs. I asked if they were shelled, and she said yes. The crabs still were in the shell when they came. Would not return.

This manager is eitherBooked reservation for Birthday Dinner for six. When we arrived, manager tried to seat us in booth for four, then acted surprised when we pointed out it would barely fit four.We waited 45 minutes, only to be seated in a table suitable for 12, while they actually seated two parties in booths designed for six! Never offered an apology, didn't even offer a drink or acknowledgement. We won't be back.

Had the clams casino and Baltimore garlic crabs. Wonderful. The best I have had in a long time. My partner had the stuffed flounder, he was very pleased. This is a come back place. The wait staff was excellent.

Excellent sports bar, but you don't have to be the sports bar type to enjoy it. Nice amount of choices for whatever type of food you like, including seafood which I had.
