I have a delicious and healthy portion of brisket and Lamb that needed no barbecue sauce. The sauce was delicious, but the meat didn't need it. Instead I add the sauce to my beans witch made them excellent. Also, the recommended lager was very satisfying. Yes, I walked away very satisfied.

The food is amazing! Something for everyone, I had the brisket and it's the best I've had west of Texas! Nice and juicy with a good char on the side. The salad options are pretty special. Can't wait to come back and try more items. Service is great, a real hidden gem.

The food was really awesome, I had the brisket, it was so good. The meat was tender and the fat was buttery, it had an excellent amount of salt. The sauce was really tangy which was perfect for my side of bread and the beans were hearty and flavorful with the right amount of tenderness. The customer service when I came in was exceptionally high, really setting a standard. Overall it was an excellent BBQ experience.

We just tried this and had the tri-tip, brisket (amazing), coleslaw, cornbread and potato salad (amazing)! All the food was enjoyed by our group. Bbq sauce is quite spicy, so make sure to ask for original flavor sauce (which is mild). Great value for the money.

First time ever going, the person at the cashier was so lively and welcoming. Checked on us couple of times if we were doing good. The food was amazing, the brisket was so soft like butter and juicy. I recommend trying this place out!

Ben’s BBQ & Brew is a great place! The meat is delicious as well as the beans. There’s several TV’s to watch sports games, which is a big plus for me personally. The owner is very nice and is very helpful with questions on the food or if you want a specific sports game on. I highly recommend coming here, you won’t be disappointed!

A hidden gem when it comes to BBQ. I tried it for the first time. A friend of mine has been bragging about the food and service here for the last few months. If you decide to check it out I recommend the brisket. It was really good. I picked my Aunt up Ben's salad. She loved it. If you are in the area, check it out.

Came here for lunch and it was absolutely delightful! Ali, the owner, was wonderfully accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. The food was *chefs kiss*. We tried the tri tip, pulled pork, brisket, and leg of lamb. All of it was very tender and tasty, but brisket was our favorite hands down. Soooooo soft, melt in your mouth type of rich meat. Ali told us it was cooked for 15 hours, what a worthy investment! The lamb was juicy and not gamey at all. The garlic bread was delicious, with a great texture. The sauce was made in-house and great too. The portion was also super satisfying - we had lots to take home. He even brought some meat scraps for our three puppies! The restaurant is named after his late brother ❤️. Felt really good to support a locally owned small business. Would definitely come back!

My husband and I went here for the first time for lunch today and it we loved our food. I had a veggie wrap and my husband had bbq ribs with a side of mac n cheese and garlic bread - it was all really good! We also tried 4 different dipping sauces and they were all tasty. We left there so full and satisfied. The waitress and chef were very friendly. We'll be back!

My first time here and I ordered the pulled pork sandwich (amazing) my wife ordered the tri tip sandwich ( amazing) my son ate ribs also 10 out of 10. Honestly the meat was so great that for most of the sandwich I did not put the barbecue sauce on until the end. I enjoyed my meal so much I thanked the owner personally. He was extremely busy at the time but stopped what he was doing and thanked me. Honestly the owner was so nice and the young man at the register was so polite with great customer service that I would go again even if the food wasn’t as great as it was.
