Great Food, Drinks, and Service!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The food and drinks were excellent, offering a good deal in Vegas. The service was incredibly quick and nice, with a special thank you to our server, Anna. The atmosphere was also enjoyable.

Great Drinks and Friendly Vibe
My experience at Benny's was so enjoyable that we visited twice in one night! I only wished they stayed open later than 11 pm. The bartender was both funny and friendly, and the drinks were really good. We sat at the bar and were pleasantly surprised by how chatty and friendly the other patrons were, leading to many fun conversations. We didn't try the food, as our visit was solely for drinks.

Superb BBQ, Will Return!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had the baby back ribs, which were superb, tender, and seasoned to perfection. This was my first time dining here, and I can confidently say it will not be my last. The atmosphere and service were both rated a perfect 5, and the food also received a perfect 5. I highly recommend trying their baby back ribs.

Hit or Miss Brisket, Great Value
My experience at this restaurant was a bit of a gamble, especially when it came to the brisket. It's definitely a hit or miss situation with the food. One night, the brisket was tough as nails, but the next night it was nice, tender, and juicy, falling apart perfectly. We even arrived at 4 pm and had to wait half an hour for brisket because the first two had issues. However, the price can't be beat, and I appreciate the option of having 2 BBQ Sauces. We even bring a portable food warmer to heat up leftovers in our room.

Ribs Overcooked, Fries Stale
My experience at the restaurant was disappointing due to the food quality. The ribs were way overcooked, and the fries had been sitting under a heat lamp for too long, making them stale. Given these issues, I'm not sure if I would give it a second chance.

Cold Food, Unprofessional Service
I stopped in today because I work across the street and have been meaning to try for 3 years. I was walking to the garage and happened to see a bartender I know, so I decided today was the day. The menu was super limited, but I made do. My brisket came out super cold. I informed the bartender, and the chef (Richard) happened to be at the well next to me. When I told him my meat was cold, he asked, "Well, how long was it sitting there? " I was in total disbelief! As a server at a nearby steakhouse, I would never ask a guest that. I hadn't eaten all day, and it was 7 pm, so I dug in immediately! It's crazy to me that someone in a leadership role would be so cold while dealing with a guest. I definitely wouldn't recommend this place. The bartender, Michael, was great! Come see him when he's at a different bar, definitely not here.

Worst BBQ Experience Ever
If I could leave 0 stars, I would. I am always very forgiving with restaurants, but this is undoubtedly the worst BBQ I have ever had. From the sides to the main entrée, the food was absolutely terrible. Our server was very friendly and helpful, but we didn’t complain about the food because there’s no saving it.

Best BBQ, but check hours!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic, especially the food. I found it to be the best BBQ in Vegas and a true hidden secret. The food quality was outstanding, earning a perfect score. However, it's important to call ahead as they sometimes close earlier than advertised, which is a minor inconvenience. Overall, a highly recommended spot for great food.

Mixed Experience: Good Ribs, Poor Service
Our party of 6 was seated in the back room, and it felt like we were forgotten. The menu was quite limited, with only about 5 main dishes. The ½ Chicken, ½ Rib plate was the standout, offering good value for the price. However, the brisket plate was disappointing; the meat was served in thin, tough, and dried-out strips, even with the au jus. The ribs were the best part of our meal. Our server was very nice when we did see her, but her availability was an issue, likely due to our secluded location in the back room. Overall, it wasn't the best experience, but it wasn't the worst either.

Disappointing Barbecue Experience
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. I found the barbecue to be some of the worst I've ever had. The brisket was literally swimming in water, appearing as if it had been pulled from a steam bath and was dripping. It was flavorless and bland, comparable to cafeteria food. The corn was soggy, and the cornbread was dry. While the beans were okay, the coleslaw tasted like it had no dressing at all. The ribs were also just okay, but they were overcooked. Unfortunately, no amount of barbecue sauce could salvage this meal. I would advise others to go elsewhere. On a positive note, the staff was fine.
