The Ribs, literally FELL off the Bone with some of the best smoked flavor. Baked Beans, wonderful flavor and beans cooked to perfection, Cole Slaw, well having worked in NY Deli's defiantly house made and the desert they provided me at no charge was the perfect amount of sweetness

Today is the first time we ordered from Ben. We got a pound of the brisket and a pound of the pork , plus the sides ( beans and cole slaw ). Hands down the best smoked brisket and pork we’ve ever had. The brisket was melt in your mouth good. The pork was very juicy. Both meats were mild with the smoke in the back. Most bbq meats around here are way over smoked. Highly recommend. We will be going back very soon !!!!!!!

The food is absolutely amazing. I absolutely loved the turkey. The staff is incredibly friendly. I cannot wait to order from them again.

We had the pleasure of working with Ben’s Barbecue for our staff lunch in August, and it was a wonderful experience! The food was absolutely delicious, and Ben went above and beyond—not only making the process easy and enjoyable, but also generously donating some of the meal to our school. It meant so much to partner with a local business that cares about the community. Highly recommend Ben’s Barbecue for anyone looking for amazing food and outstanding service!

Brisket and ribs are both great. But you gotta go early or have a preorder. They sell out fast

This is my 3rd time visiting Ben’s in the last 3 years and I must say, I am not doing myself any justice by not putting Ben’s in my weekly meal rotation. The meats are out of this world. First time I got there early enough to get Brisket as a walk-up. 2nd time he was all sold out of meat, but was gifted pies, beans, and slaw since they were closing for the day. Pure love. Thank you all. 3rd time, which was today, all sold out of Brisket but the ladies in line in front of me gave me some of theirs to eat while I waited for my order. Again, pure love. Thanks ladies!! I tried the Pulled Pork today… OMG! 😭The best ever! Now I know to place a preorder because he ran out of ribs and brisket by 12:40 pm. He even threw a pie in my bag. A lovely surprise! Thank you!! Again, another example of the love he gives to his customers and his customers are passing it along to each other in the line. The smoke, the flavor, the juiciness. It’s all there in the meats. Now, I’m hooked for sure and will be placing my weekly preorder. Oh, and the BBQ sauce, pickles, and onion are divine. But, I couldn’t decide if I wanted the sauce or not, because the meat stands on its own. So, I just drizzled it on the meat and it was a perfect combo. This man knows what he’s doing and I’m just blessed to be able to experience it. ❤️

Sadly, they had sold out of all the BBQ when we arrived. However, they gave us a great local recommendation and sent us with free sides. They take customer seriously, and that's so rare today. If they sold out in in just a couple of hours, it must be outstanding, and we'll be back!

The brisket was probably the best I've had in the Midwest. Highly recommend the baked beans. Everyone working there was super friendly as well.

I’ve seen this place passing by but for one reason or another today was the first time I stopped in. As soon as I got out of the car Ben warmly greeted me and found I was going to be the last walk up customer of the day and was offered everything they had left. Got a pork belly sandwich (Ben was right about the onions and jalapeños), pulled pork and turkey. They also threw in some sides and dessert. Everything was wonderful and we have enough leftovers for dinner and then some. I’ll be back and next time I’ll arrive sooner so I can try the rest of the offerings.

Absolutely fantastic brisket, 10/10, will be back soon to get another order! Amazing service and Ben is so friendly.

We’re here on vacation and stopped for a bbq sandwich. The pulled pork was one of the best I’ve ever had. Met Ben the owner and he’s a great and friendly guy. He added ribs to it order and they were awesome. The smoked beans and coleslaw sides were great too.
We’re definitely coming back!

Delicious, very reasonably priced and generally awesome to see someone do what they love.

Need to say this first, order online or be early, definitely be patient. We're talking low and slo' food, not fast food chain. They have a limited amount of food to serve, once it's gone, you're out of luck. So, set your expectations accordingly, order ahead, and you'll avoid missing out and being disappointed.

What you really need to know tho...BBQ and staff are authentic. If you know anything about BBQ, you can see they start with great meat cuts, and their personality comes through in the rubs and sauces. Sauce is where it should be (on the side) and isn't there to hide anything.

BBQ should be authentic, this is it.
