Benchmark American Brasserie

We celebrated Valentine's day at this fabulous restaurant. The entire night was well worth the 2 hour travel time. A very friendly staff; coupled with the ambiance, were the ingredients of an awesome evening. The owner personally visited our table. We enjoyed his very engaging conversation to welcome us for our first visit. He invited us to return to their Sunday brunch; held the last Sunday of each month. Great one-on-one customer attention and appreciation. Everything on the menu is a must try. Our waitress, Summer, guided us through the menu. She was professional, friendly and observant. We never wanted for anything..

The best ribeye steak I've had in my life. My wife and I try steak houses in almost every town we visit. We travel for work and we've been to every state east of the Miss and many to the West. Even Mallory's in San Antonio wasn't this good. 10/10 for the meal. The cocktails are QUITE unique. A lot of thought and planning goes into them. Our current trip has been about 4k miles so far and this has been the best meal by far. Possibly the best we've ever had. And again, the steak was the best I've had possibly in my life. Truly a testament to Texas cooking. The blondie dessert was to die for. Absolutely amazing to top off the meal. I'm not sure if their ice cream is homemade or not, but it was very unique and not something I've tasted before.

This place has a reputation of being 'expensive ' I totally disagree. The quality of the food, the amazing service, the ambiance, it 's not much more than any other 'upper ' restaurant in Texarkana. I have been here twice and have had great food and great service each time. Highly recommend. Very unique for a Texarkana market. I know the chef and manager specifically moved back to to the area to do this. Very good people.

This is the place to go for a romantic date night, anniversary or any special occasion. The ambience, warmth, the professional wait staff who were so attentive; Jennifer was superb. The manager stopped by our table to welcome us; which was a very warm touch. I had the Salmon and my husband had a chicken dish; both excellent and we had the vegan chocolate brownie, with almond milk ice cream. It was delicious! My date night here was a 5+. Is that possible? We will definitely visit Benchmark regularly!

This place is just amazing! Beautiful vegan options!!! Great Service and ambience! Call and reserve if you are going during prime times. We had the mushroom frits for our appetizer and they were delicious! They even have the vegan ranch option! It was so yummy too!! I had the sweet potatoes street tacos!!!! It was a sweet twist on your traditional street tacos and I have to say they were a masterpiece! I was so excited I forgot to take pictures!!! I'll do better next time!!!
