slow service and terrible food

The worst experience in a restaurant I ever had. Slow service, food was lukewarm, and disgusting. There is nothing outstanding about the food, decor or service and not worth the money we spent here. I thought since there was so many 4 and 5 star reviews made about this restaurant that this would be a good place to try out - I was wrong. I think too many friends and family are commenting here?

Nice decor, lousy food

This was my first and will be my last experience at Big Ben's. We went here because we pass it quite often and thought we would give it a try. I was surprised there was only one other table in the place. I ordered the roast beef dinner as it is my favorite meal when dining out. It turned out to be the worst roast beef I have ever had in my life. When I ordered, there was no choice of rare, med or well done. That should have been my first clue. What kind of a restaurant doesn't give you the option of how you want your beef? After finishing our second drink finally the meals arrived .The waitress just dropped the food off at the table and left.There was no breadbasket, no horseradish, no butter for the mashed potatoes, nothing else came with the meal. Looking at my dinner it looked like someone opened up their beef sandwich and dumped the beef on the plate with a mountain of mashed potatoes, and a few sticks of carrots and a spoonful of peas and a yorkshire pudding. It was so thinly sliced, a previous reviewer hit the nail on the head when he said it was like a tv dinner and may I add with the portion size to match. You certainly don't get much for the money. I expected a lot better from a traditional english restaurant.

Cooked to Perfection...

After reading mixed reveiws for Big Bens, hearing fantastic word around town and finding unbelievable deals in the local news papers. It was time to check it out for myself. Over all I had a great experience. I had a Cesar salad as an app and a beef soup for my boyfriend. The salad was a classic nothing unusual and the soup was perfect, it was thick and hardy. It tasted like my grandmother made it straight out of the garden. I had the one pc basa and chips, it was cooked to perfection! My boyfriend ordered a rare steak and got just that. The whole presentation of his meal came as a surprise. It was beautiful. A good portion of meat, veg and lovely mashed potatoes. The service was great, our server was friendly, she made our visit welcoming but not over baring. We will coming back to try breakfast, heard that weekend mornings are a hit.

Best Buy, Best Food

I don't know who the people were who reviewed earlier and burned Big Ben's but they didn't eat at the same place we did. The food is outstanding we've become regulars there for breakfast, lunch and dinner and I can honestly say we've never had better food in a family diner. It's all fresh, with amazing flavour and presentation. The atmosphere is relaxed and your not rushed. But because it's fresh you have to have be able to wait this is not fast food, sitting under a heat lamp. From Soup to Dessert we've been trying everything on the menu and have not been disappointed yet. The staff are attentive and responsive to questions or concerns. Fantastic value for money well worth the visit.

tasted like tv dinner

Well after eating at big bens. I can honslty say I won't be coming back to this place. me and my buddy ordered the deep fry ed pickles and the "poppers" which was below average. For the main course, I ordered the roast beef dinner which it tasted like tv dinner and my buddy thought the meal was really bad also. I'll say one thing is good about this place. we ordered the deep frayed mares bar and it tasted really good. The staff was decent. over all, I wouldn't come back to this place because the food was sub par and for the money we both spend. we would expect alot more.
