Big Ben's D & M BBQ

We came to this tiny building in the middle of this plaza. There was a couple behind the counter who I assume were the owners. Very nice people. I ordered ribs with collard greens and baked beans. The ribs are gigantic and so tender. They had a wonderful smoke flavor and very little fat. The collards were excellent and made even better by adding some hot sauce. The beans were on the sweet side, but perfectly cooked and delicious.You can eat outside, inside, carryout or have them cater. If I had any complaint it would be that the inside is fairly jammed up with stuff on one side which makes it look a little cluttered and messy. But all in all it doesn't matter because the food is the main attraction and it is really that good.

I understand this business has been in the Quartermasters for years.Took the chance while there to try it. Nothing fancy, very basic, that little hole in the wall.Service was cordial and gentleman eating in us was nice.We ordered up 2 large pork bbq sandwiches with slaw and Mac and cheese.Tea was very good and we aren't typically tea drinkers. Food was delivered quite quickly.The bbq had a nice flavor and the serving was decent a portion.Definitely will be back to try some of the other items.Definitely feel this place is worth the stop.As you can see by the pictures we liked it

Very tiny unassuming place. Barely enough room for 3 parties. Girlfriend got the pulled chicken with yellow potato salad. I got the brisket platter with corn pudding and Mac n cheese. Both of our meats came in in a big hoagie roll with no sauce. They have sweet and spicy sauces on the table. Her chicken was extremely juicy with a great flavor. Her potato salad was excellent. My corn pudding was sweet like a dessert and was really really good. My Mac n cheese was good too. My brisket was cooked perfectly and had a great smoky flavor. I really enjoyed it with the spicy bbq sauce. We both ate way too much but it was worth it! Awesome place and really nice folks!

The service is personable and willing to share all the information and options available. Situated at the origin of the Historical Black Heritage trail, this is an icon place to visit as well as some good low and slow BBQ. The meat was cooked well, and primarily smoked, no bark, but very good. I believe they finish the different cuts and heat to order, which is not uncommon. We had beef tips and Ribs. Both were good. Ribs were StL cut and tips were filet tender. Great work Big Ben!!! Who is at counter and very proud of his work.

Great friendly service and consistently delicious perfect Barbecue every time I go !When I have given other bbq joints a try, I ended up wanting half my money back! Big BEN's is the only place I trust from now on!

Oh My Goodness!! This mom and pop place has my heart! I had the brisket, ribs, greens, Mac and cheese and beans and let me tell you, this place does NOT disappoint.

Very nice guy runs this place. He uses quality ingredients and prepares the food with care. I had pulled pork with almost no fat or gristle. The sauce was well balanced and cooked in. The green beans were well seasoned and tasted great. The Mac n cheese also showed care. You don't have to search for the cheese. Very pleasant place maybe some day I will get there for the Monday only buffet.

Real food. Best greens in years. Same goes for the cabbage. Ribs were unreal. My only regret was that missed the buffet on Monday. I will be back.

YES! Felt like family. Food tasted like ... family. Loved the food, loved the conversation (with owners), and loved the time.I'd go back, for sure!

I think the food would've been better if we had eaten it there. I didn't really care for the sauce, but the meat was good. Sides were decent, but serving was small. I thought it was okay.
