"Great food with a reasonable price tag. The staffs are so friendly - it felt like a very tight community. My highlight was the soup with chunky beef. It was so hearty I’m gutted that I didn’t get a bowl of it. I’m still thinking about it two days after I had it."

"I'm 77. I have been going to Benson, Az and the horseshoe Cafe since I was 6. It has changed hands many times but the Cafe and the food has always been a great place to eat. My brothers and I frequently drive up from Tucson just to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The food has always been above board and I have never had a bad experience. The waitresses and waiters are always ready to serve you as if you were in their kitchens at home. Atmosphere is low key, mostly quiet. I like to sit at the counter seats whenever I eat there. Tables are for 3 or more. Food is ALWAYS fresh, hot, and served with friendly attitudes. I always tip 20 %. These people work tirelessly and it shows on their faces and in their report with all the patrons. I've dined at other places in Benson, but none can beat the Horseshoe ! I sincerely hope the Horseshoe Cafe remains the same in the future the same as it was and continues to be today. Prices are comparative to anywhere where good food is served. Treat yourself anytime you are out and about."

"When you first walk in there is an atmosphere of good vibes and great smiles. Great decore and great personality. I wasn't expecting big food from a lil dinner but they did not disappoint. I do a lot of reviews and so I order quite a bit. The Philly is a big boy and the meat is so juicy and full of flavor. The Nashville hot chicken sandwicheswich has a slaw in it that is a lil different then I'm use to but definitely wasn't bad at all. They also have beef footling dogs. That is very flavorful I went with the chilli dog with jalapenos on top. The wings I grabbed mango habanero and my wife got bbq. If I had to critique anything it would be the mango habanero sauce could be a little more hebenero fire lol but I eat Carolina reaper lol. So the korri the waitress was awesome and kept everything good. Such a great personality and kept the smile going the whole time. Definitely bring the kids here."

"If you're in Benson, go here! Food is delicious and everyone is so friendly. Our server, Alexa was super. Soup was definitely homemade. Chicken ranch wrap was big and delicious. Foot long hot dog was unbelievable. It's a throwback to simpler times kind of place."

"Took a drive out to Benson from Tucson and stopped by—so glad we did. We all really enjoyed the food; the quantity, quality, and overall taste were top-notch. The staff was very friendly and attentive. We had our 1-year-old with us, and they were incredibly kind to him, making him smile the whole time. We’re definitely looking forward to coming back and adding this place to our regular list of restaurants to visit."

"Now this is a meal worth driving to, definitely make the effort to come eat here. We had the ham and egg plate, and the green chili and cheese omelette. Both were so delicious we did not even take pictures of the food. We will be back again before we leave, again do yourself a favor and drive over here and get you some food."
