Benton's Sugar Shack

I've tried to come here at least a half a dozen times, but the wait was too long. But today, I must have hit the timing just right. We got seated for breakfast after only about a 30 minute wait. Service was great, the waitress took care of us, but she did forget our coffee but it was busy so I understand completely. The atmosphere inside their little shop is so cozy and we loved all of the syrups you could buy. Food was phenomenal! I got the Shack special with their famous pancake with maple syrup. So overall, definitely a 10 out of 10. Well worth it.

After a wild night hanging out with the fellas, Benton's totally saved the day the next morning. Their service was awesome - they hooked us up with a table for 7 in pretty much no time, even with a crowd waiting.

For breakfast, I went all in with the Meat Lover's omelet: smoked ham, bacon, sausage, maple cured kielbasa, and cheddar cheese, all packed into one crazy-good dish. I'm not really an egg person, but this thing was seriously amazing. Oh, and those homemade biscuits? Don't even get me started - they were absolutely to die for. Everyone at our table chowed down on the menu's endless options till they were full and happy.

Now, let's talk about the place itself. The shack has a Northern New England syrup-drenched history. It's got this one-of-a-kind vibe that both tourists and us locals can't get enough of.

Only open on weekends, so I rarely get a chance to go here (despite living 15 minutes from it), but when I do I love it!

Great food, large portions, and the prices have been practically the same for years. By far my favorite breakfast spot. The Country Benedict is excellent and the baked beans are some of my favorites. Just a couple highlights on a menu full of good stuff.

One day I will be here when they do the Apple Cider Doughnut French Toast. One day...

My son took me here today and it was amazing! Definitely my new go to for breakfast! 3 peaches and cream big pancakes, 3 strips of bacon , home fries and coffee my son had 3 big coconut something pancakes , 2 huge sausage links , home fries with onion and coffee. Bill was 25.00 !

What a great place, we stopped in for breakfast on our way home from Lincoln on the recommendation of some friends at the American Legion. We were not disappointed. Our server Felicity was very nice and efficient. Wifey ordered the design your pancakes, I had The Shacks Big Country Breakfast everything was terrific Ma’s homemade maple beans are the boss. Lincoln needs a Benton’s Sugar Shack, you should really think about it, if you can find the workers in this post pandemic world where no one wants to work. So Benton’s is definitely a must do stop. Cheers

It's like stepping back in time. It reminds me of how things were when I was a kid. The people working there are all friendly, polite, and easy to spark a conversation with. The food was GREAT, arrived very quickly and my wife and I couldn't believe how low the prices were, especially for how much/ you get. They also have a little shop attached to the restaurant that is definitely worth your time. In short; if you want a fantastic meal served by great people at a great price, this is the place to go. A+

Such a fun place to get breakfast. You can tour the syrup making facility in the back, so a great distraction for kids while you wait. The breakfast was delicious, I really enjoyed the pancakes and had to order a biscuit on the side to try! So worth it! Also picked up a bottle of syrup to take home.

We loved it here! I wish I lived nearby, I would be in heaven to come here every weekend for breakfast. All the food--all of it--was great.

The sap is running and "sugaring" has begun! Great food and service at exceptional prices every day at Benton's Sugar Shack. Be sure to check out the products in the store, too, before you leave and make plans to return again. Check the website for the hours of operation. It's well worth the drive.

Delicious, tons of options, fast and friendly service! Not pictured is the amazing grilled blueberry muffin, recommended by our waitress. Will definitely be back next year!

An absolute must-try when you are in the area!! We have always gone here when we are in NH and even came here this time from our hotel 30min away haha the food is incredible. The service and atmosphere are the perfect homestyle setting! You have to try their food. You’ll be so glad you did

A good friend who lives in Thornton recommended Benton's and suggested talking to Brad with the hope that he might share about the history and making of Maple syrup. I inquired with the waitress bc my friends from the south have never been to or experienced a sugar shack. Wouldn't you know that Brad came in from home just for us!!! It was a fantastic treat for us. We truly enjoyed learning and meeting Brad and his son Mike.

The food was delicious! We learned they serve big portions so we got two dishes and shared amongst ourselves. It was perfect.

The store was a delight and fun stuff for gifts back home - repurposed sweater mittens that are inspired by Bernie Sander's mittens, Maple syrup candies, "wicked pissah" hand salve, and hats.

A gem of a place! A must see and eat experience. Ask for Brad! He's precious. Thank you!!

Took a little detour, totally worth it, loved everything about our experience! Syrup is to die for!

This place is incredible! I rarely do reviews but the food was excellent, reasonably priced, and a great portion! The staff is also very friendly and helpful! Already planning my next trip back!

Real maple syrup of course, but homemade breads, muffins. Farm fresh ingredients and huge portions. Very reasonable prices. Delicious! Look how many blueberries in those pancakes. Be back tomorrow!

Coolest spot . Loved the food and environment. Will definitely return. I'm 3 hours away I CT and tempted to drive at 5 am to be the first at the door when they open . Yeah that good 😊 .

Awesome breakfast and waitress. Got to check out where the maple syrup is made and got to meet the man who makes it! Amazing time. Highly highly recommend. Will definitely be back!

Yum! Worth the wait. Beautiful location in an old rustic sugar shack, filled with memorabilia, history, and goodies to take home with you.
The coffee is hot and fresh. The food is really good.

The food was phenomenal! Great prices and staff was really friendly.
There is a bit of a wait, but it's definitely worth it!
Highly recommend!

Environment was really friendly, fast service, food was fresh. Great breakfast place if you're in the area.
