Bender's Pub Grub

The fried green tomato sandwich is the absolute bomb!!!!

I was there the other day and when I walked in I was not greeted very well. No hostess, no one even acknowledged me until a lady with extreme liberal views, who tried to press them on me, finally seated me. Turns out she was the owner. She then asked me if I wanted to go to LUX strip club with her. I declined and proceeded to order. The food was sub par at best and cold. The owner then came back and gave me 2 free shots and said for me to "pop that shirt off". Its a shame because the pictures of the food online make it seem really good. Not the case here. never again.

Everything was incredible! Avril Bleh dog was great, smashburger was amazing (the mustard slaw worked well, despite not liking mustard), and the fried pimento cheese was delicious. Happily took our order a few mins before close (we didn't realize and we're so sorry!) That green tomato bacon jam is everything. TRY THE HOTDOG!!!

Had not been the ABC in some time. Benders pub and grub did not disappoint. The food was definitely on point. Some of the best wings that the momma unit and i have ever had. Great service. Now for ABC, the bourbon slushy was one of, if not the best that we have ever had. Definitely will come back.

Bender’s Pub Hub delivered pure brilliance during Hamburger Week—anchored by a burger that featured a perfectly crisp, golden fried pork chop riding shotgun atop the juicy beef patty. It was over-the-top in concept, but flawlessly executed.

Each bite balanced bold textures and flavors: the savory crunch of that pork chop, the tender beef beneath, creamy melted cheese, and toppings that didn’t compete—they complemented. It was a double-meat revelation that somehow never felt too heavy, just deeply satisfying. And the bun? Held it all together like it knew it was supporting greatness.

Bender’s didn’t just create a burger. They created a moment that left everyone rethinking what belongs between two slices of bread. This one's going down in local legend.

This was a hidden gam! We enjoyed our unique burgers, wings and fantastic banana pudding. Definitely stopping by again when in the area

Went up to the Benders counter to order. Major attitude from the lady taking orders. Told we couldn’t order our food the way we wanted, because the cook was backed up with 6 people waiting on food. First time, last time.

phenomenal smash burger and appetizers.

Amazing food. The shrimp and grits were delicious.
They also had tasty slices o chess pie for dessert.
The adjoining bar also had a incredible bourbon selection.
