    This was our first trip to Bender's. The calamari was delicious, the sweet Thai chili sauce made the dish. The crab cakes were wonderful. Penny was a great server. She helped is every step of the way. We will definitely return.

    My husband and I celebrated our 13th Wedding Anniversary at Benders on Aug 13, 2024. This was our first time there as we live out of state. My husband had the snails, Sea Bass with rice and fresh veggies, while I had the jumbo crab stuffed shrimp with gorgonzola raviolis and a salad. The food was absolutely amazing. But the real winner of the night was our server Ava, she was an absolute gem. Super sweet, informative and gave great recommendations. She honestly made the experience top notch!
