V Pickett Review of Bennie's Red Barn

When you visit Bennie's Red Barn you are stepping back in time, 60 plus years, where the serving staff still wear white jackets and you feel the history of the building surround you. Set in a building built to look like a barn with large wooden timbers, overly large wrought iron chandeliers and a fireplace so large you could almost stand inside. Tonight the fire was blazing and most guests, locals, requested tables that surrounded it, the fire really added to the old world atmosphere of Bennie's.
Their menu is short and sweet, filled with grilled meats and seafood, and probably has not changed since they have opened. My husband looks forward to the 22oz. Cowboy ribeye steak, so tender and delicious and the lamb chops, my favorite, are a must have, flavorful and moist. All entrees come with their traditional wilted salad served in a wooden bowl with baked potato or fries and a smile from your server.
Bennie's is worth the drive to the end of the island, set under a canopy of trees, this imposing red barn just welcomes you in for a visit and a unassuming great meal. If your there on a Thursday you will find Mr Chip strolling and singing to the guests, what a treat. This place is like no where you have ever been.
