benson burgers – kind of reminds me of bunsen burners!
I wonder whatever happened to the burger joint, how long ago it’s been gone, etc.
I remember Bensons Burgers from the 1960s. My dad used to take be there before there were any McDonalds. I believe there were two locations although there may have been just one. By the early 70s, they were gone.
We used to have Sunday dinner at the Fulton Diner after Mass at St. Sylvesters.
It was moms day not to have to cook.
Us kids would play hide and seek and “guns” in and amongst all of the stone slabs at the Benisch Bros. stone yard.
It was located on Jamaica Ave about a block before the “El” turned on to Crescent St.
Near Cypress pool.

Benson Burgers was the first real modern burger joint we had in Brooklyn and Queens. White Castle and White Towers were old school in the sixties. The Hobie was imitated by Burger Kings Whopper. Like Gino’s in Atlantic City, they also served Fried Chicken.
My Dad used to take me there in the mid to late 60s. I remember there being more signs around town for it as well. I have another somewhere…
My Dad and Grandfather and Uncle owned Benson Burgers. Had lots of fun going there with friends and family. My dad is no longer here but I bet he would have loved to see this.
Not only did they have great hamburgers but they had great chicken too.
Home of the Hobie was there saying.
Thanks for the smile
Ami- Glad to meet a Benson Burgers kin! My Dad used to take me as a kid before there were McDonalds. Ooops. I’ve just dated myself. There’s another sign I took a picture of that is in my slide archive. I need to buy a slide scanner and finally get all of the archive digitized. It will take me a few years but then it will be more accessible. When I find it, I will let you know. Take care, thanks for stopping by and come back again! Frank
Ami I lived around the corner from the Benson Burgers on Rockaway and Eastern Pkwy. The hamburgers were the best and the fried shrimp were second to none. Your kin people had the best food in Brooklyn.
I agree Orlando! I remember the food being REALLY dee-lish as a child. Better than the fast food these days that’s for sure.
As a kid we would go to Benson Burgers in Queens, NY. It was located on Linden and Merrick Blvd. It was the home of the Hobie. I still remember that in addition to the Hobie burger they had a shrimp hobie. Memories,
Mmm, Mmm, Mmm. I remember going there with my dad in the early 70s. Thanks for sharing. Now I’m hungry.
I worked at Benson burgers, in Queen, NY across from James Brown House .yes the food was good and clean.some good memories except for one fresh manager.would like to know what happen to the company?
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
I saw the post that had Benson Burgers across the street from James Brown’s house. James Brown’s house was across the street but a few blocks away. I remember the burgers at Benson Burgers. The home of the Hobie. I think McDonalds and Burger King are poor imitations. A private school now stands were Benson Burgers stood. I lived on 177th and Linden and would have to walk down there to pick up burgers for the family.
