John Benton in Augsburg

My partner and I really enjoyed eating here, but we haven't been there for a while. We went there for dinner today for his birthday and regretted it relatively quickly. My partner ordered a fillet steak medium, but got it rare and lukewarm. When asked to put the fillet on the grill again, this was done, but only briefly fried on the sides, burnt on the outside, still rare and bloody on the inside. He then left half the steak behind because there was nothing left to save anyway. I ordered a cheeseburger without coleslaw salad, I got the cheeseburger without tomato, onion etc., there was only a patty with a blob of ketchup on it and the cheese was already foil-like and transparent, when asked they said they weren't sure because I didn't want coleslaw, didn't understand the connection, but fine, I got a plate with toppings afterwards. The sweet potato fries were soggy. The service person did her best and was friendly, but someone else came to collect the money, and when we paid we were asked whether we wanted the change? We would have rounded this up anyway, but with two half-full plates asking if we wanted the money back, even though she didn't even serve us, was very cheeky. We have no problem investing more money in good food, but today was a complete disappointment. Too bad.

Very friendly and courteous staff.

Julia is the best and prettiest waitress in all of Augsburg, highly recommended!

Special thanks to Yulia , for fast and quick service.

Went back after a long time, tasted delicious as always, service was very nice but totally incompetent. The young girls should simply be trained for gastro. Food is only half written down, given the price range you want to eat the entire menu as ordered and not meat first and potatoes. And at the back it's a bit tight with the tables and the light could be a bit brighter. But it is highly recommended!

Very nice place, very good food and very friendly and helpful staff. Advised!

Best steak restaurant in all of Augsburg, unbeaten for years. The food, ambience and staff are worth every cent there. Be sure to try it out for yourself if you haven't had the pleasure yet. 🙂

The food tasted very, very good! The waitress (Julia) was super nice and made our evening better!!!

The food was great but the service (Julia) was the best of today (September 25th, 2024). Super nice and sweet! Made our day

The food tasted excellent. Julia is a very nice waitress. September 25, 2024

If you want a chill place outstanding service and the best stake in town this is the right place.

Very good steakhouse, meat is of very good quality. The desired degree of doneness is served this way. The staff is friendly and attentive.

Thanks to the entire team from this Sunday lunchtime. You all did a great job together. I was eating alone and still got a really great seat. The service was very accommodating and extremely friendly. My steak was cooked to perfection. The baked potato with sour cream is uniquely perfect. Salad dressing to die for. The farewell to the entire team, including the kitchen, was so warm. Thank you for giving me such a nice lunch. I'll be back. Carry on just as warmly and in a good mood. Kind regards and GLG Alexandra

Nice restaurant in a good location. The food is not bad but not particularly praiseworthy. The prices are not justified by the taste and the service (I can only talk about my visit now) was very rude and condescending even though the restaurant was not very busy and therefore, in my opinion, there was no reason to be annoyed or stressed or as in even making derogatory comments about my case. That was definitely my last visit.

So I like the shop. The waitresses are extremely attentive. But the lady at the grill doesn't know all that much about the steps. Been there three times and almost got a steak three times, which was ordered medium rare. Too bad. When we first visited the new owner it was perfect. Ambience good. Good on the outside.

This was most certainly something good. I love my mushroom and when I tell you the mushroom sauce was good it really was. The steak could use a little more salt but other than that it was cooked to perfection. I loved the sides too and so did my partner. Will def recommend this to someone who is visiting Augsburg for the first time or anytime at all.

First of all, we have been regular customers to this day. Ordered a cheeseburger and a John Benton steak, as always. Steak should be medium rare and without sauce but with herb butter. Both were on the grill for half an hour. Then the waitress comes and says, "The chef put the sauce on it." The cheeseburger also arrived but without cheese. Salad with steak with house dressing is no longer what it used to be. Dear John Benton team, we had a great time with you, but today we part ways. We hope that the old team with cook and service staff will come back, otherwise it is no longer worth recommending...

We used to go there every week, but not recently for various reasons, so now we thought we'd come back. We were always thrilled when it hadn't been redesigned yet and a lot of new things were added, for example: E.g. just steak and fries. But no breakfast or anything. Unfortunately we were disappointed, the first steak was tough and cold, it was only improved after a comment, with the comment “again, too bad.”

Nice and welcoming place, friendly staff and good food. Grilled specialties excellently cooked and served.

Very nice evening, good food, good selection and the lady who served us was incredibly nice, I haven't experienced such courteous service for a long time. Sitting outside was very pleasant. The staff was super organized and quick with everything. Thanks, this deserves a review.

So the meat was burnt, don't go there again, it used to be much better here, now the prices are so expensive and the worst thing is the food doesn't taste good

Very good atmosphere and services. The steaks is outstanding about the taste.

The food was delicious, the service also!!!! I enjoy it!!! If you are here in Augsburg you must give a try for sure….!!!!!

The best and hottest sour cream I have ever tasted. I would be happy if the shop in Munich also existed, and best of all in Haar. I love the ribs and the rump steak hmmm the Kreuter butter is also a real treat with the baguette.

It's really difficult for me to give this one star, but it's now the second time that I ordered my steak medium-well and was served an almost live cow. I expect a restaurant that specializes in steaks to have mastered this basic craft. A pity…

Addendum: The ambience has been refreshed a bit. So **** star -------------------------------------------------- We have been coming to this restaurant for almost 25 years. Our daughter “grew up” in the restaurant 😂 We come from time to time and since then we always eat... YES ALWAYS 🤭🤭🤭 the same thing: - Sirloin steak - Country Potatoes - Small salad and finally an espresso. The food is almost always equally good and the steak is almost always the way you order it, i.e. rare, well done, etc. That's almost always 100% for us. It's hard to believe, but JohnBenton has maintained this level for years and that's great. That's why we're going to eat steak here. We have already experienced many branch managers - in Benton they were mostly women - and all of them - including the current ones - are friendly and nice and hard-working. The service itself is quick and also very friendly and attentive. Here 98%. But there is a shortcoming that we have noticed for a long time And that's the setup. Unfortunately, it hasn't changed in 25 years. Just repainting and hanging new pictures is now not enough. The tables, the surface... we find all of this a bit creepy now. Time travel.

Still a great address! Pure hospitality, good food and fair prices! We will be back

Our visit to John Benton Steakhouse was, in words, "A perfect evening." We spent an evening here with friends that was perfect in every respect. Food: The food was great. The menu offered a diverse selection, so there was something for every taste. The meat was cooked to perfection - juicy, tender and full of flavor. Particularly worth mentioning is of course the herb baguette, which is undoubtedly legendary and thrilled us all. Service: The service was first class. We received an extremely friendly welcome and the staff was attentive and courteous. All of our wishes were fulfilled promptly and with a smile. The staff were well trained and were able to provide us with expert advice, which made the entire experience even more pleasant. Ambiance: The ambience at John Benton is admittedly a bit old, but it was cozy, inviting and, despite the years, still in good, well-maintained condition. Conclusion: We agree - the John Benton steakhouse is definitely worth recommending. The combination of excellent food, outstanding service and pleasant ambience makes it an experience you'll want to repeat. We give it a full 5 stars and we are already looking forward to our next visit.

Large selection, really great food, nice people 👍

Yesterday we were in this restaurant again for a long time. Unfortunately, a lot has changed for the worse since our last visit. I ordered the so-called “Fetzenburger” - at the proud price of €21.90. The best thing first - the meat on this burger (approx. 80 gr) was good. But everything - and I mean everything else was bad. The bun was dry as straw - a huge mountain of equally strawy fries, which were probably intended to hide the measly portion of meat - a micro portion of Coleslow, which consisted of mayonnaise with carrot pieces and only resembled a Coleslow from a distance and was inedible. To top it all off, a slice of sliced ​​cheese lay unmelted on the meat - and could therefore be removed! The fact is, apart from the meat and a few fries, the entire plate went back into the kitchen. The service was friendly and attentive - at least a small consolation.

Super friendly staff. We felt good. We had burgers, one of which was veggie - they were very tasty. And once a ribeye steak - it was cooked to perfection and a real treat (the only thing that should have been a bit reserved was the seasoning). Highly recommended!

We always enjoyed eating in this restaurant. However, the latest price increase is the last straw. Here, simple spare ribs cost €28 and half a beer costs €5.40 - that's not just expensive, it's already exorbitant. The interesting thing was that the restaurant was hardly attended. Most likely due to the price-performance ratio! Sorry, but please reconsider the pricing policy, because it is not calculated fairly - inflation, the energy crisis and the shortage of skilled workers no longer justify it.

It was my first time at this steakhouse and I wasn't disappointed. The ambience is clearly showing its age and is rather dark. The steak wasn't too big, but tasted good and my chosen cooking point was also met. The side dishes were standard, baguette so-so but the hash browns were good. Worth mentioning is the John Benton's Pot, which tasted so delicious that I ordered a portion to take away. The price-performance ratio is okay for Augsburg, but here in Munich good or better steaks are significantly more expensive. Service staff was attentive and friendly.

Most of the food was good, but the pancakes didn’t seem fresh. Two items were forgotten, one of which was brought out after the rest of the food was eaten. The menu in the restaurant has fewer items than the one shown online has, and one drink that was ordered came in a smaller bottle than the menu said, but cost 6,90 instead of 4,50. For €75 for breakfast, I expect less issues.

The food was very good and plenty of it

Very good fresh food. The service was very nice and helpful. I recommend😊

I haven't eaten so badly in a long time. Meat cooked to death, salad with a watery something, no seasoning, nothing. Shrimp and bread was okay. Staff did not respond to complaints. Zero interest

Delicious steaks, but also the burgers and spare ribs are recommended. Only the ambience would need a little refresh, but the main thing - the food - is good! The Benton is an Augsburg classic that never disappoints...

This is a great restaurant for tasty and quality steaks. Located at the heart of Augsburg city. Friendly and efficient service staff. Reccomended.

John Benton is a resturant who changed my life during a visit a year ago. Through the visit I met my current wife and many great new people with whom we are still in good contact today

Quaint restaurant, good food and service

Very great service and good food.

Very good restaurant and have never been served so warmly! The food was very tasty and came relatively quickly even though the restaurant was busy.

We were there as a group (with reservation) after a visit to the Augsburg Christmas market. Ambiance okay, cozy. Food and drinks were quite good and reasonably priced. Unfortunately, a big minus was the very unfriendly service and sometimes incorrect serving at the table (which the guest could have overlooked if they had been more friendly). Anyone who values ​​more or less pointless discussions and the barracks-like tone of the service is in good hands there. It's a shame that the kitchen's good work doesn't reach the table as it should.

The food and service complemented each other one-to-one. I would even give 6 or more stars for the service!

Unfortunately it's no longer what it used to be 😟 We have been getting spareribs regularly for years, but since the old team and tenant changed, the quality has also decreased. Today we had high hopes that it would taste better than it did a few weeks ago, but unfortunately we were really disappointed again 😞. Meat was tough, had large spare ribs with 3 layers and each layer was different 🤷🏼‍♀️ So we won't be ordering or eating there anymore because we miss the good old cuisine, the old original John Benton cuisine.

Good steakhouse where the price-performance ratio is right, the atmosphere is also cozy and pleasant and tempts you to stay there longer. It's not for nothing that John Benton has been one of the best steakhouses in Augsburg for decades.

Everything was super delicious!

I like the food at John Benton. Ambience rather rustic, old-fashioned and dark. There is now a new, colorful and modern menu with photos, more burgers and more desserts, as well as cocktails.

I've known John B for a very long time. I was there again recently. Unfortunately I didn't like it and it's totally overpriced. So it was done for me personally. I think it's cheeky for €5 for a sauce!

Steak and food very good, friendly service and pleasant atmosphere.

We came across this restaurant by chance through Google Maps because we wanted to eat a quality steak. My friend ordered a rib eye steak (medium) with a side salad and fries. And I ordered a turkey steak with sweet potato fries. Unfortunately, the degree of doneness of the steak was not met; the steak was cooked unevenly to medium well. When we told the waitress When we said the end, there was no reaction. My turkey steak was oversalted… We cannot recommend the restaurant for this price range. Especially since our neighboring table had similar problems.

Food was excellent! Went to Benton with a large group and we were looked after and treated very well - even though there was a lot going on. Again any time.

Very good food. Cramped guest room.

Were at John Benton again today, haven't been there for a while because the service has gotten worse and the prices are also high. I was looking forward to my salad with the house dressing, but was very disappointed. The dressing was only light in color, was diluted with a lot of water, and that's how it tasted. The sour cream used to be unique, now it's just one solid cream Country potatoes used to be much better. I don't think we'll come back anymore. We used to be there at least once a week. The young gentleman (service person) was very accommodating. If you're going to raise the prices so much, you should at least maintain the quality of the food.

Delicious food, something for everyone! Fair prices and decent portions. There is also a nice selection for the children. Happy to come back!

Ambiente wie in einem Karstadt Restaurant. Speisen auf niedrigstem Niveau. Wir hatten dreimal Ribs und alle drei Portionieren waren für knapp 30,— Euro ausreichend groß. Leider war die Qualität wirklich unterirdisch. Trocken, mit viel zu viel Pfeffer. Ansonsten geschmacklich gen Null tendierende Sauce. Beilagen und Drinks OK. Service sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Noch einmal? No way!

There were six of us here. We reserved the places 4 weeks in advance. The table was not set, the tables had to be pushed together first. Cutlery for 3 people. Drinks came after the meal, as the ice cream had to be delivered from the kitchen first?????Food ok, but nothing special. The leather seats are all ripped open and you ruin your clothes. The restaurant is run down and urgently needs renovation. Price too expensive because the ambience is miserable. There are by far nicer restaurants in Augsburg.

The food was very good and consistently good quality, as it has been for several years. Service is always top and quick. Can only be recommended.

It's very hard to complain about anything here.

Been there again after years and what can I say. Pure disappointment! The facility, which is already showing its age, desperately needs it. Still very dark and the furniture looks dingy. The steak was lukewarm, the recipe for the sour cream on the baked potato had apparently been changed and it tasted terrible. Compared to other steakhouses, such as... b. the Abaccos, far too expensive with poorer quality. I found out that the old owner no longer runs it, which may be because it doesn't taste as good as it used to. The only positive thing was the service.

It definitely tastes good. Nothing to complain about now. However, it is not excellent for my taste now. You could have pretty much managed it yourself. The quality of the meat was good, but not outstanding in my opinion. I would have expected a little more. The operator was very friendly.

Bei dem frittierten Putenschnitzel dreht sich einem der Magen um.

Wir kommen seit Jahren/Jahrzehnten in dieses Restaurant, der Service, das Angebot und alle Gerichte sind gleich bleibend TOP!! Unbedingt reservieren, zu jeder Zeit! Stets sehr gut besucht!

Vielversprechender beginn...freundliche Bedienung..dann kam das Essen. 3 verschiedene Gerichte bei denen 2 mit der falschen Kombination serviert wurden. Wäre kein Problem...wurde pragmatisch gelöst. Grossspurig wurde dann verlautet Getränke würden wegen des Fauxpas auf das Haus gehen. Bei der Rechnung dann doe Überraschung...statt Getränken unsonst gab es immerhin Bonbons und Lutscher. Zum durchwachsenen Service merkte man dem Essen auch an das es Freitags abend war Insgesamt ein nicht zufriedenstellender Abend.

Tolles Steakhaus, dort gehen wir seit vielen Jahren immer wieder gerne hin

Leckeres Essen, toller Service. Wir sind immer gerne da.

Das Lokal befindet sich in der Umgebung von der Stadtmitte Maximilian. Innen sehr dunkel, und komisches Ambiente. Essen : Steak Trocken, und die Ribchen kathastrophe voll mit Soße null Geschmack.

Sehr gutes Essen, wunderbarer Service von Lara. Wir haben heute zum ersten Mal im John Benton gegessen, die Vorspeisen waren sehr gut, das Filet sensationell auf den Punkt, butterzart. Sehr leckere Desserts. Hervorzuheben der charmante und perfekte Servive von Lara. Vielen Dank für den schönen Nachmittag.

War zum wiederholten Mal dort zum Essen. Das Essen ist weiterhin ausgezeichnet. Allerdings hält der Service nicht mit. Auf die Frage, ob ich zur Vorspeise ein Messer erhalten könne, wurde mir gesagt, dass dies schwierig sei, da nicht genügend Messer da seien. Auch wurde der Beilagensalat zur Hauptspeise genauso wie die zusätzlich bestellte Sauce vergessen und erst nach ca. fünf Minuten gebracht. Auch musste man auf die Getränke sehr lange warten. Das Ambiente ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen und bedarf einer Auffrischung.

Sehr freundlich Sehr gut 👍 👍 👍 Weiter so

Ein gelungener Abend. Die Bedienung war mega,freundlich zuvorkommend und sehr aufmerksam. Das Essen war sehr gut, Bestellt habe ich ein Filet medium, einfach ein Genuss, Danke an das John Benton Team.

Essen qualitativ hochwertig, Preise für Hauptgerichte sind noch in Ordnung, alles andere mittlerweile wirklich gepfeffert. Die Bedingung hat unseren Tisch (mehr als 8 Gäste) recht zuverlässig bedient, etwas seltsam fand ich jedoch dass sie jeden explizit nach Trinkgeld gefragt hat. Ich verstehe schon, die gebeutelte Gastro etc. aber es gibt in DE immer noch Mindestlohn und wer es nicht einmal schafft 10% im Kopf zu überschlagen sondern jedesmal den Taschenrechner zückt macht schon einen sehr gierigen Eindruck auf mich.

Herzlicher Service und hervorragende Steaks. Wir kommen wieder!

Gutes Steakhaus mit reellen Preisen. Einrichtung seit Jahrzehnten gleich, aber auch die Qualität. Nicht so hipp wie andere Adressen, aber definitiv jeden Cent wert. Und sogar günstiger im Vergleich. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass der Geschmack noch besser wurde. Was will man mehr? Es schmeckt!

Tolle Steaks und sehr freundlicher Service! Wir kommen gern wieder! 8.12.23 Wir sind endlich wieder hier und: Immer noch sensationell! Super Service und hervorragende Steaks!

Sehr gutes Lokal. Leckeres Essen

Sehr lecker gegessen, freundliches personal

Everything was alright , untill the steak was too rare and the waitress told us we should have had just ordered a medium instead of our medium rare, sadly i didnt took a picture but we could have tasted the cold ice inside of the steak ,thats how rare it was, i am pretty sure it could have been a great steak if it was better made.

Beste SpareRibs seit langem! Gerne wieder. Nette aufmerksame Bedienung

Selbst wenn man reserviert hat, muss man eine halbe Stunde warten und kommt immer noch nicht an seinen Tisch. Schlechtes Konzept seine Kunden warten zu lassen.

Steaks sind super und schmecken auch gut, aber sie haben neue Kellnerin, die ein bisschen älter ist. Ich finde es voll respektlos, wenn Menschen zahlen wollen dazu fragen „wie viel darf ich Trinkgeld geben?“ Sorry aber so was entscheidet man selber.

Das Essen war kalt und haben es zurück gehen lassen, die Reaktion war schnippisch und patzig. Ich komme aus NRW und werde beim nächsten Besuch definitiv nicht mehr dort einkehren.

Für die Sophie von mir mindestens 5 Sterne für erstklassigen Service und freudlichen Service ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Nur einen Tipp von mir: bitte nimmt schönere Becher für Eis und nicht altbackene kleine Schüsseln 🙈🙈🙈

Wir waren neulich Abend zum Essen zu zweit hier. Das Hüftsteak mit Kartoffelecken war wirklich hervorragend, von vorne bis hinten. Salat ebenfalls sehr lecker. Meine Frau hatte den Spieß; Hier waren die Fleischwürfel leider recht zäh und durchwachsen. So etwas ist bei Rind immer unglücklich, jedoch hat der absolut geniale Service mit Espresso/Shot für beide dies souverän wieder ausgebügelt. Überhaupt muss man den Service loben, die junge Dame, die uns bediente, war sehr zuvorkommend und herzlich. Wir werden wiederkommen, uns dann aber beide eher an die Steaks halten und von Spießen Abstand nehmen. Dann sollten die fünf Sterne drin sein ;-)

Spare ribs waren eher zäh bis trocken. Die sollten in einem Steakhouse eigentlich top sein. Ambiente und Service waren Super.

Nix Besonderes; etwas überteuert. Personal zu langsam und verwirrt

Absolut perfekter Service, besser geht es nicht, sehr schönes Ambiente und hochwertige Speisen. John Benton ist absolut empfehlenswert.

Waren gestern zum ersten mal drinnen :) Empfang super, Kellner super freundlich und hat spass an seinen Job, Essen mega lecker 💯 Ambiente sehr gemütlich 👍🏼

Burger war super und auch das Steak war sehr gut. Perfekt gebraten auf medium rare und suuper Service.

좋은 음식, 좋은 분위기, 좋은 서비스 3박자가 조화로웠던 좋은 레스토랑이였습니다. 음식값은 다소 부담스러우나 스테이크 외 다른 음식들도 있으니 이용시 참고 바랍니다

Absolut tolles Lokal! Ich bestelle immer Rumpsteak und die Ofenkartoffel, die ich dazu nehme, ist die beste die ich jemals hatte. Die Sourcream ist der Wahnsinn und sie packen auch genug von drauf. Das Steak hat immer den richtigen Gargrad und das Essen kommt recht zügig. Das Lokal lässt sich mit den Öffentlichen gut erreichen. Einziger Nachteil ist die Parkplatzsituation, falls man doch mit dem Auto anreisen möchte. Absolute Empfehlung und mein lieblings-Steaklokal!

Sehr leckeres steak, gutes Ambiente, nettes Personal. In die county potatoes könne ich mich reinlegen, und es stimmt auch einfach alles!

Prix correct pour le menu du jour et de bonne qualité

Essen prima. Selten so gut gegessen.

Ich habe lang nicht mehr so gut gegessen wie dort! Super Service, sehr tolles Ambiente und auch preislich definitiv alles optimal, ich kann jedem empfehlen, der in Augsburg unterwegs ist, dort Essen zu gehen. Ich würde allein dafür wieder in die Stadt kommen.

Great food, excellent reception!

Lieber John Benton Chef und Team, danke für einen wunderbaren Abend mit einem leckeren Essen und einem Service der unschlagbar war. Mein nächster Geburtstag wird auf jeden Fall wieder bei euch gefeiert. Lieben Dank Sandra, Yannik und Lavinia

I was waiting 40 minutes for the steak and when I asked the waitress, she forgot to send the order.

Essen sehr lecker! Personal sehr freundlich und der Boss ist der Hammer. Nur zum weiterempfehlen!
