About Bens Backdraft Barbecue

Ben’s Backdraft Barbecue provides a great BBQ experience with tender brisket, fall-off-the-bone ribs, and flavorful pulled pork. The sides like creamy mac & cheese and sweet cornbread complement the meal well. The rustic, backwoods atmosphere feels authentic and welcoming, with friendly and attentive staff making guests feel at home. They are accommodating with dietary restrictions and respond quickly to questions. Known for some of the best BBQ in Haywood, this spot on Dellwood is a must-visit for BBQ lovers. The aroma of hickory smoke greets visitors, and the food lives up to that promise. The brisket is slow-cooked to perfection with a smoky crust and melts in the mouth. Ribs are glazed just right, highlighting the meat without overpowering it. Every side feels thoughtfully prepared, with rich mac and cheese, sweet-spiced baked beans, and golden cornbread that tastes like home. Portions are generous, and the food tastes fresh, not reheated. The staff treats guests like neighbors, and service stays steady even when busy. The space is relaxed, clean, and lively, filled with conversation and laughter. Whether visiting after a mountain day or in downtown Waynesville, Ben’s BBQ offers memorable meals. For those looking for the best barbecue in Waynesville, North Carolina, this place stands out for its quality, flavor, and friendly atmosphere. It’s a spot that can turn first-time visitors into regulars, with favorites like brisket, ribs, and their homemade pork rinds.
