6 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Benton

“SA a little girl and has the gall to try and argue about it.“

“Rib Crib is my new most favorite BBQ place of Any state. Located in Benton, AK on the Eastbound side of I-30 you might miss it but it’s worth backtracking to get yourself Here- where the giant St Louis rib plate has off the bone tenderness via a rub or a sticky Okie sauce.

The table choices of extra BBQ for slathering are a mild Okie barbecue sauce, a truly medium heat but Excellent spicy barbecue sauce, and a hard to beat Carolina vinegary mustard sauce you won’t find much like it for the next 400 miles.

If you see the Buck-ee’s signs suggesting you “Hold It” for 530 miles and then the signs later for holding it for just another 480 miles or so you are ready to start mapping your way to the Rib Crib.

Baby back ribs, pulled pork, smoked chicken, sausage, sides aplenty and new Fried pies in Peach, Apple, and Blackberry.

Five Stars isn’t enough considering they were open when the Steak House wasn’t anymore due to ice.

The staff is warm and helpful and the kitchen staff were busy with a large group but I got my food before I was done washing the road off my hands.

I drove from Dallas to Burlington NC on this trip and I’m stopping here on the way back.“

“At a time where finding a decent dining experience is rare, this one was excellent! It no wonder the place was packed on a Monday night. Great energy, attentive service and food that exceeded expectations. Steak was cooked perfectly albeit less tender than expected, Caesar salad was large, crisp and chilled. Wine was obviously fresh.“

“Very good experience. The staff is very personable, and fast with the orders. The atmosphere is pleasant and no really loud background music. The food was hot and tasted excellent. The menu has lots of options, portions are large and the dining area is well maintained with amenities readily available. Well worth having a meal there.“
