The Old-Fashioned Vermont Diner That’s Ahead Of The Times

If you're craving the nostalgic atmosphere of a good old-fashioned diner, the Blue Benn in Vermont is just the place. Step inside and the ambiance might remind you of yesteryear but the food is a forward-thinking blend of deliciousness. Sonny and Marylou Monroe have been the owners of the diner since 1974. While they serve traditional bacon, eggs, and burgers, you'll also find tasty meatless dishes that arrived on the menu far before the vegetarian movement ever began.

The authentic railcar was shipped from New Jersey in 1948 and assembled on its current spot in Bennington. Easily recognizable with its retro exterior and bright blue trim, the Blue Benn is old-school in appearance but modern in cuisine.

Step inside and hop on a stool at the counter or slide into a vinyl booth. Slip a quarter into the personal table-top jukebox and get ready for a fabulous meal.

Blue Benn has been offering vegetarian dishes before the practice became mainstream. The kitchen has launched dishes like Sonny's Scrambled Tofu and the diners (even the carnivores) love them.

The old-fashioned diner is renowned for its scrumptious breakfasts. Whether you choose something traditional or a more creative dish, we guarantee you'll clean your plate.

Order an omelette, eggs benedict, pancakes, or the famous tofu scramble, just to name a few options. The portions are hearty and satisfying.

Dive into a juicy burger with meat or without, or try a wrap with all the fixins' for lunch. There are so many tempting choices, you may have to return again and again just to try everything!

Find more daily specials than items on the actual menu. The inventive kitchen continually comes up with new, exciting, and yummy dishes for its visitors.

Save room for pie. The maple pecan has people driving for miles to get the last slice. Visit The Blue Benn Monday - Tuesday from 6 a.m. - 5 p.m., Wednesday - Friday from 6 a.m. - 8 p.m., Saturday from 6 a.m. - 4 p.m., and Sunday from 7 a.m. - 4 p.m.
