Great service just had wings. We ordered hot Buffalo traditional and smoked. Traditional fried was too breaded and super crunchy. Not Mt preference but served hot and fresh. Same with the smoked. I feel like the smoked flavor was more charred then true smokey depth but again they came out hot and fresh. I can't fault the wings they just aren't my preference for flavor and crunch. But by golly the food was hot and fresh. Do with that what you will.

Visited my daughter and stopped over. The fish fry dish and veterinarian option were good and service was great. The food was so good forgot to take pictures. The only thing that was a challenge is finding the place if you’re not a local. We ended up parking by ice skating rink and walked up. But we were at the Westin hotel parking lot trying to figure out. You can use both entrance to restaurent

Went for a Stanley Cup final game after not having been for years. As you can imagine they were slammed. So through no fault of their own, service was slow, small things were missed (forgot to bring dip for cheese curds) and, honestly, food wasn't up to par I remember from when I used to go (cheese curds not hot, Rueben Eggrolls not super crisp). However, if you go at any other time, this place is fantastic. The food is delicious, the staff is always friendly, and if you run across Hooper (she owns the place if I recall), you will get the chance to meet a fantastic person who is above and beyond awesome. The only reason I am giving 4/5 is personal, they got rid of their Irish nachos; the best menu item ever. I guess it wasn't that popular though if they gave it the ax. Still, I loved it. So even if you aren't into hockey, but want some beer and unhealthy delicious food, check this place out.

Really like this place. You might miss it because it's part of a big Ice Rink. But WELL worth finding!! Good bar food. Good beer selection. Pretty good service . Place is huge... But I bet it fills up for Avs games and when the rink is popping on a Saturday.

Taking away 2 stars for our most recent visit. We entered and, since it is seat yourself, we went directly to the patio area, which we always do. We sat there for nearly 20 min and no one ever acknowledged that we were there.
We ordered large traditional medium buffalo and large boneless bbq gold wings and one side of tater tots. Huge bone-in wings, tender boneless, and the sauces were phenomenal!
First time ordering food from here (takeout) even though we've been living less than a mile away for almost 2 years now. Everything about this experience was top notch...from speaking with Kyle over the phone to place our order, to the friendly and efficient staff who quickly acknowledged me when approaching the crowded bar, as well as the outstanding wings we weren't able to finish...we will be back for more!
Only one thing I wish I could change, which is no fault of theirs, is the distance you have to walk from the parking lot to get to Bender's. It's just the design of the entire property. It took me less time to drive there from our house than it took to walk from the lot into the bar. Now I'm just sounding lazy!

Food was good. Service was slow at first, but was very good once served. I love being able to watch the kids practice in the hockey rink!
Paul Korinko
It's a fun experience. The steak sandwich was good, the Ruben not so much. There's a respectable numbers of beers on tap.
It's within walking distance to the Westin.

It's always interesting there. Owners a good guy staff seems mostly new from when I was there last. The waitress asked me "big or small on that beer hun?" She came back with a glass the size of small oxygen tank filled to the brim. Great pizza. Overall I rate it at a 4.7.

If I could rate benders higher than a 5 star I would! They are so amazing with awesome staff and they let us come in to watch mammoth games when they are away! I absolutely LOVE this bar and grill and it’s a great environment for the whole family.

The food was good...... but the service was the worst that I ever encountered and I have been coming here since it was Jackson’s.
Wrong size on drinks, asked for a side of ranch and mayo and had to ask again and received it at the end of my meal. The wait staff didn’t seem to care.
Very sad considering there was a note on the door asking to make the place a place to go.
Start by training the staff out front or you will lose business.
I know because I do this for a living too.

This was one of the nicest places I have ever been to for watching football! Loved the hockey arena adjacent facility with great views of hockey! Great view of Canadian grease and ducks on other side..friendly service..good food. I had deep fried wisconsin cheese curds. Yum.
Terri Sedmak Dryden
It is within walking distance from the Westin & the people I went there with had been there before & loved it! I loved the food, service was good & has a cool atmosphere. I also loved the ice hockey rink below that you could watch games being played. I was there on St. Patrick's Day.
Mike Reed
Cold beer, good food, good service, football and best of all you can watch some hockey. Go Blackhawks!
Brian Spike Dibonas
Super duper awesome place. Super good food. Totally awesome staff. Completely affordable. Only thing I didn't like, was that the Galaga/Ms. Pac-Man game was down, when I wanted to play.
This is not a paid endorsement. Yo!
Rena Adamson
The waitress was good for a big group. The beer was not that cold and experience.
Timothy Powell
Good fresh food in a great atmosphere! I will be going back!
Francine Hoover-Cahoon
On a very busy football Sunday the food was great, the service very good and I will be going back again.
Maly Alix

Michael Gugliuzza
Food was mediocre at best and service was terrible
Nick Cloyd
Here on business, walked in just to check it out. Good food, good service, and a freakin hockey rink to watch. Pretty cool...
Sandy Waters
Not enough staff. Had to wait 15 minutes at the bar for a drink. Bartender was nice, though.
Rich Cook
Great food, friendly staff, and a great overall atmosphere!
Bryan Goodson
Tried to grab a beer here in between periods of my buddies hockey game with a few friends. We were treated very rudely, and sat for 10-15 minutes and never got a drink. The bartender even said to another patron in front of us “they’re last priority”.
Aaron Palinckx
Awesome Place to take the friends and/or family. I really enjoyed Benders. The food is excellent and cant even be compared to "bar food". I have been there several times now and enjoyed several different things off their menu. No matter what kind of food your in the mood for, Benders has an item to satisfy your needs. Benders is great on a busy and eventful Saturday night or on a calm relaxing Wednesday night. I would recommend Benders to anyone who wants to go eat a nice meal with their kids or have a fun night with friends.

It's OK for bar food.. This used to be Jackson's and - according to our waitress is now "completely different." All I can say is if you were underwhelmed by Jackson's, you'll probably feel the same about Bender's. It's not bad, but it's not great either - run of the mill bar food - and the atmosphere is nothing great either (kind of a second rate sports bar). On the plus side, if you're just going for beer and nachos and don't want to spend a lot, they do have some really good deals on Coors products and snacks.

Hockey Stop. Home away from home. Good food and a cold beer while you wait for your kids to play hockey or a great warmup for a game. Staff is very attentive but can get overwhelmed on very busy times.
Mark Reynolds
Great atmosphere great vibe. Awesome place to watch your favorite sorts teams in hi definition television. Love the wings and pizza, great service. This is one of my favorite restaurants!
Nancy Allen
Love it.. Husband and son play hockey, daughter figure skates and this is our home away from home. We even go here in the off season. The irish nachoes are awesome. pizza quite good, although they should add some gourmet ingrediates. crust is great, but would love to see gorganzola, etc as toppings. Staff is way nicer than when they were Jackson's. Only problem is the regular bartender pours the smallest white wine "pour" ever 1/4 glass most times. It is insulting, so we never order wine here which is our norm for dinner out.<br/>Still, a great place and we love it.
Wayne Palinckx
This is a great sports bar,great food and friendly staff make this the place to watch your favorite teams
