First time being there on Friday. Food was amazing serve needs a little work but I won’t complain to much because he was busy with other customers. Was a little loud but once to told the customers being loud and obnoxious it was a family friendly place they quieted down. Would definitely order food from them again. The cowboy fritters are definitely worth trying and the game day fries are amazing!

This was our first visit here we were very impressed with not only the food but also the staff. we were greeted when we walked in staff came over took our drink orders and asked if we had any questions regarding the menu, He told us the specials he was very understanding and came back a few times before we decided what we were getting to eat. We had appetizers and burgers. The food here is Amazing. We will definitely stop here again.

The monster kielbasa was cooked to perfection and delicious. Great place for burgers too. The Texas burger is my fav. You're missing out if you don't stop in for food.

I have eaten here a few times. The food is excellent. Great menu and excellent weekly specials add something different. The simulators are very cool and rental fee is very reasonable. Lots of different sports but my kids really loved the Zombie Dodgeball. The golf simulator is pretty accurate. My slice matches perfectly :) I forgot to mention that the staff is great. Very friendly and attentive.

I attended a private gathering at Bender's and we had a wonderful time!! The owner is incredibly friendly and a gracious host, truly taking an interest in his patrons!! The simulator games had a huge selection to choose from, ranging from golf to hockey to carnival games! The atmosphere is very welcoming and the environment is very clean!
