Ben's Place - Ironwood

Stopped in on Labor Day 2024 and ended up walking in right as they were closing down for the day. They offered to turn the grills and such back on, since it was Labor Day we probably wouldn't be able to find much else. We graciously stayed, talk about hospitality!! The waitress didn't seem super confident, but she was very friendly and nice! Our orders were only slightly mixed up, but we didn't say anything because it really wasn't a huge deal! Everyone ate every morsel of food--it was delicious!! The proprietor came over and chatted with us for a bit, she was incredibly friendly and hilarious!! We ended up staying nearly 2 hours after their closing time, but no one noticed, no one was cranky, no one said anything! We had no idea and didn't get ANY vibes from the staff kicking us out! The kids got ice cream afterwards and it was some of the best we've had! We have a local ice cream shop in our hometown, but dare I say the hand scooped ice cream at Ben's Place is better!! The watermelon sherbet has chunks of watermelon in it!! The perfect way to end summer!! If you're looking for yummy food and friendly staff, this is your place!! Dietary restrictions: My husband and I follow a keto diet (no carbs) and this place has a couple of salad options omelettes and other egg dishes, so we had options!! (We opted for a salad with grilled chicken got crispy chicken) Parking: Street parking, could have problems finding a place close when busy. We had no issues. Kid-friendliness: They had coloring books and crayons on the table right away. Most of the kids meals were $4!! The kids milks did NOT come with lids, so just be aware!

The food and service were great! The atmosphere was that of a 50's diner, and it was fantastic! After dinner I enjoyed a chocolate malt! Wonderful!

We had a pizzaburger with tater tots, a bacon cheddar burger with fries, and a chicken bacon salad. Of course we had to have ice cream for desert. All were delicious! Selena was so friendly. We had a great time chatting with her. She made us feel like family.

I’ve eaten a lot of burgers in my life, and Ben’s serves a deliciously juicy and tender one. This place doesn’t look like much from the outside, but don’t be deceived. Also, ice cream was super, and many flavors!

Ben's place is a nice family diner with an old school atmosphere and very friendly and polite service. The food is good and your classical diner style.
