Unfortunately, the local nostalgic hype carries this bbq farther then it should. Sure it's good, but many other places are doing it better. The "famous" Onion Rings were frankly sub-par. Service was friendly but slow for a non-busy night.

• Pros: Atmosphere
• Cons: Way too overhyped

Best BBQ in the City of Richmond!!!

by fuudcritic

I've been all over the world and tried BBQ from everywhere. The only BBQ that comes even close to Benny's is Ralph's BBQ in NC. My wife and I went because we live close, but have never been. Shame on us! We didn't know what we were missing. The atmosphere was cozy but small. We ate at the bar. I ordered the Chopped Pork BBQ sandwich w/coleslaw and Hotsauce, side of Redskin Potato Salad and Baked Beans. I was shocked how the sandwich was so Delicious! It melts in your mouth. We're big BBQ fans and we've been looking for the best BBQ in the City of Richmond. Here it Is! It didn't taste so thick as pork can. It had a light taste, but still filling. The potato salad was seasoned right and the BBQ Baked beans were sweet and spicy. I highly enjoyed my experience. My wife had the short stack of ribs which were, as she stated were "Cooked to Perfection"! We found our new BBQ spot!!! Service was great. We went in during the lunch hour, and our food was done and hot, within 7 minutes of ordering. If this place was a secret, it isn't Now!

5 stars for Best BBQ in the City of Richmond. Congrats!

• Pros: The Ribs, The chopped BBQ sandwich, The Bar, The Atmosphere
• Cons: The size of the Restaurant

Best BBQ I've had...

by jenclark6

This is my first review and I joined just so I could comment on this BBQ. It's really terrific...I ate half of it before I even realized there was no sauce on it! You should try it if you haven't already - you won't regret it. The only thing lacking was sweet tea...making your own at the table just isn't the same!
