Benno's Cajun Seafood Restaurant

Benno’s Café is a hidden gem right across from the ocean and the perfect spot to enjoy fresh seafood with a view. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, making it easy to sit back, listen to the waves, and enjoy a great meal. The fish and shrimp were absolutely delicious—fresh, well-seasoned, and cooked just right. You can truly taste the quality, and the portions were generous. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. If you’re looking for a casual place to enjoy flavorful seafood while taking in the beauty of the ocean, Benno’s Café is definitely worth a visit. I’ll be coming back again.

We just left here and while the food was great. The employee Mary Jan was completely disrespectful and left a horrible taste on my mouth. All I asked fro was 2 bowls and to box my own food. She slammed down my food and walked across the dining room and threw the 2 Togo boxes in her hand down totally uncalled for. I asked what the problem was and that I just wanted what I asked for nothing more. She screamed at me across the restaurant that she was sorry I didn't know how to speak to people. That is embarrassing to any bussiness we have been her twice this month and live 2 hours away always try to come I. when we are in town I am not sure. if we will make that mistake again if this is how your treated.

Old rotting building. No greeting no idea how to order. Huge menu on the wall go to the counter and wait for the rude cashier to let you figure it out. One plate, one cup of gumbo $40 without tip. Why is the gumbo watery? The seafood balls were greasy and cold. The batter on the seafood plate was clumps of cornbread batter. Could’ve been better. Everything seemed like it was sitting in the fridge for days. The coleslaw was brown and old. I didn’t like anything here. So disappointed.

The fried shrimp, hush puppies, and fries were better than expected. The shrimp were lightly fried and looked to be battered fresh. The coleslaw was also fresh. I will say the Cajun grilled shrimp didn’t have much flavor. The place is not super clean but the staff was friendly and you get a good view of the water.

The staff was nice and quick to serve. Although I thought this would be more of a seafood boil with Cajun seasoning as when I ordered it was just called the “Cajun boil”, there was a lack of explanation when I was ordering but also on my behalf of not knowing what to order. Should have done more research. It tasted good non the less! The view was also enjoyable.
