Big Bens Family Diner

Amazing Experience

This is the second time my wife and I have been. This time it for breakfast. The place was very busy when we walked in and we still had awesome service.This was the best breakfast in Brantford. The omlettes were great, not runny. Potatoes where cooked right through and they were not small either. Definitely a good bang for your buck.

Absolutely a great meal. Everything was cooked on sight. The roast beef was perfect and the garlic mashed potatoes where heaven. They used real garlic in the potatoes. The veggies where not frozen and where done so they still retained there crunchiness and color. Eric did a bang up job. Can't wait to go again.

The Best Fish and Chips

We have been to Big Bens on a number of occaisions. We have been there with our two grandsons, aged 5 and 3 who were supplied with crayons and colouring pages to keep them busy., as well as my mother in law. Each experience has been extremely positive. The service was very friendly and the server made sure we had what we needed and athat we were satisfied without interfering with our meal. The food was delicious. The menu is very tempting, so many traditional English meals, but I enjoyed the haddock and chips so much that I have had it every time. My mother in law is from England and she loves her fish and chips. She said that eating them at Big Bens has spoiled her and now she doesn't want them from anywhere else. She does wish she could have a glass of wine with her meal. Oh yes, they do have dessert I have tried the banana bread cheesecake, yum yum. and the deep fried mars bar which is served with vanilla ice cream. Very rich, but good. I will definitely be going back. Finally a really good, affordable local reataurant that is not a chain!!!!!!!!

Easy peasy lemon squeezy

My boyfriend and i came around 730 and were the only ones still there. It was our first time so maybe we missed the dinner crowd. I asked for a water with lemon and was brought a glass of water and a squeeze bottle of lemon juice... Really??? We ordered and waited a while for our food ( wouldnt want to know how long it would have taken had the place been busy) but it was worth the wait. Our fish was fresh and battered perfectly....but for a place known for fish and chips we were surprised to have to squeeze our tartar sauce out of a packet and once again another lemon juice bottle was brought over. It seems like it wouldnt take much for the owners to get someone to make homemade tartar sauce (its really easy) and to cut some lemons considering the price for the dinners (the squeeze stuff really isnt adding to your food). I would visit again and have spread the word about the delicious food but I will be bringing my own lemon next time.

As I do every weekend, I headed over to Big Bens for my cup of coffee and my usual. (waffles and fresh fruit.) I searched the menu looking for something new to try and finally decided to go with the "Toasted Western." When I got my meal it looked delicious! It was defiantly one of the best breakfast's I've had in a long time! I will be back yet again this weekend for breakfast...but trying something new and delicious on the menu this time might make me more adventurous and try something else next time!!!!!
