I love their fresh barbecue pork rinds, shrimp, baked potatoes and steak. Amazing biscuits and gravy! Hidden gem that has become our go to place.

I don't know what happened...this was the best place 6 months ago...and then I think the owner is allowing their "kids" to run it. So you have to prepay for prime rib which I find weird but I know why they do it. So I called on Wednesday to tell them two prime rib dinners for Friday. I told them I want mine rare...(the cook told me to do this) so that she knew to pull it off before it got over done. The new people answering the phones told me that can't be done...(the cook told me it could) and proceeds to give me a lesson on how you cook prime rib. Haven't been back since and stopped telling people about it. And they blocked me from their Facebook page for calling them out on it. If you want to know how to run a dive bar into the ground this is the place for you.

Had a group of 8 drop in at Ben's Bar in Shirley, all friends up from Florida. We all ordered food and let me sayâŠ. BENâS DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! Food and service were perfect! Everyone complimented on the tenderloins and onion rings, plus the ham and bean soup was their special of the day! Yummy! Thanks to the Benâs staff for making this a great experience and visit with friends. Linda and Jack
Had the worst experience for Prime Rob last Friday. Made reservations for 6pm and prepaid for it. We arrived at 6. At 7pm the waitress came out and advised us the steaks might be more towards â mediumââ. At 7:30 they brought out our food and the steaks were well done and cold.No credit could get given because we prepaid for the meal.I will also add Iâve had the best prime rib of my life here. However, it was after a friend had a similar experience and took me for the âfix it mealâ.I left a phone number for the owners but havenât heard from them.Shame I love the place and the food is supposed to be real good.

we drove from Elwood to try the Prime Rib. The homemade Pork Rinds are absolutely incredible. The Prime Rib was perfect. Definitely will be back. Great staff and the atmosphere was enjoyable.

Good place for a cold ?, and good food. Friendly place. Staff needs to not restock the bar coolers while the bar is busy. Had empty bottles on the bar and waited quite a while to get refills. Haylee saved the day and she wasn't even supposed to be working. Hard to find good help these days.
