We got the two person share pack for take away tonight. It's our first time trying Benny's and we didn't know what to expect. All we say can is - WOW! It was so amazingly good! We got the Southern Fried Chicken, St Louise Pork Ribs, the Buffalo and Salt and Pepper Drummettes, plus the sides the pack came with. Every single thing was delicious, perfectly cooked and seasoned. The service was also fantastic, and the food was not only ready very fast, but it was presented so nicely. Their mac and cheese is so delicious. It is worth the money. We will be coming back for sure!

(Ordered takeout so cant comment on atmosphere) Seeing comments like Esters that "they don't know what slow cooked is" makes me sad. I travel the globe at least twice a year (texas included) and you wont find this good food there!, this place is new, but I have rarely met such accommodating staff, passion to make great food and to top it off, food was really good!!! Huge portion, super tasty and to a very decent price. My personal preference is a bit more kick and I hope they will have that option soon but if you want amazing and more importantly, genuine service and also a huge feed of good food. Please give this place a chance. I can't wait to see how they develop because it's rarely you see a place with a great product also having such an open mind. I will definitely eat again!

If I could give this place 10 out of 5 stars I would. From the easy over the phone booking experience, to leaving absolutely stuffed not being able to eat another mouthful. This place was amazing from start to finish. Food fresh, amazingly cooked, meat so tender and don't ever start on the sides, wedges devine and hot and the best coleslaw I have ever eaten. Lovely staff which is always a great start and such a great chilled vibe dining atmosphere. We will absolutely be back. Thank you for a great night.

Didn’t plan on coming here but so pleased we did. We ordered the platter for 3. Got to pick 3 different meats, as well as the standard Mac and cheese, slaw, drumettes and sausage. It was huge and delicious. We ate so much and still left with lots of left overs to have the next day. On top of that it was a great price. Will definitely be back.

Tried out this newly opened smokehouse and it absolutely delivered. The customer service was incredible — super friendly, attentive, and you can really tell they care about making your experience a good one. The food was fresh, smoky, and full of flavour, and the whole place had such a welcoming vibe. I love seeing a new local spot start strong, and these guys are definitely off to a great start.
