Benny’s Smokin BBQ and Brews

Great ribs and the chicken is good too. BBQ sauce was really good. The best place in Vegas is downtown. This is a great little gem of an eating hole. The sports book is real close too. Get ya some!

Stopped here for dinner not sure what we were walking into. The smell draws you in and the food makes you stay. It was fast, tasty, and reasonably priced. We had been walking through Fremont Street and needed a meal. This definitely hit the spot for his BBQ craving. The only thing that was lacking was the service. Our server was there when we ordered and then to hang us the check. Was disappointed in there follow thru with the service. If you are looking for good decent prices BBQ than this is the place.

Do not let Binions scare you, this place is the bomb despite the place looking like a time capsule out of the 1970’s. The ribs were tender and smoky, the brisket was juicy, and the prices were very reasonable. Highly recommended!

I don’t know what we were expecting here but service was bad and the food was par with the service. I would not go back here again. I think one of the beers was off.

I have been here several times for dinner and never disappointed. Don’t forget to have your parking ticket validated after dining.

Probably the best food I’ve ever had in my life.
But the service…
1. Waitress was incredibly slow to take our initial drink orders. The drinks themselves came fast but refills? Forget about it. I was the designated driver, paying the bill and drinking only water and never got my glass refilled.
2. No thank you at the end. Just a «Have a good one guys» as the check was placed on the counter.
I’d come back for the food but walk out if I had the same waitress.

Went to dinner with family and our order was the following:
We asked what soft drinks they had and the waitress looked confused and didnt know what they offered and my husband said some and she said yeah, Wrote our order on paper and then came back within 2 minutes to ask us again what we ordered.
Full rack of ribs meal for my husband and he said they were real good
½ chicken meal for myself and I thought the chicken was under cooked, baked beans not great, corn on the cob was corn, corn bread was dry and didn’t bother with the coleslaw.
We asked for a extra plate for our aunt and were told that it was a charge of five dollars and we were dumb founded.
The service was not great nor good.
Better places to eat in Las Vegas and WE WILL NOT BE COMING BACK TO THIS PLACE.
Two stars because husband said the ribs were good.

Not real BBQ, boiled or steamed meat then grilled. No smoke flavor. If you are looking for authentic BBQ look elsewhere. Chicken was under done and fatty, not something you would find with real BBQ.

Everything is delicious! You can’t make a wrong choice! Fall off the bone smoked to perfection ribs, juicy chicken and amazing brisket. Super fast and friendly service! All around good eats!

I get the feeling not a lot of people know about Benny’s unless they either do a search on Unilocal or happen to go all the way to the back of Binion’s casino. They should. It’s nothing fancy, and your choices are limited to about 6 options. But what they do, they do well and serve fast. The beer list is not too extensive but quite varied and has something for everyone. There’s plenty of TVs on the wall in front of which you can place yourself for whatever is the important sports match of the moment. My rack of baby back ribs was quite large and fairly tender, and the one sauce they provide does enhance the flavor. People were equally satisfied with the chicken and brisket. It’s a good thing there are rest rooms nearby, because you’ll need to wash your hands frequently from all the saucy goodness, particularly from the ribs. If you’re an easily satisfied BBQ lover, consider this place.
One thing to be aware, Wi-​fi coverage is quite poor because you are way in the back of the casino.

Ribs are great, cornbread and coleslaw are awesome as well. Fun and noisy sports bar feel, inside Binions casino. Menu is simple and easy and service is quick.

Awesome ‘Que and tasty microbrews. One of the best kept secrets on Fremont Street. So let’s not tell anyone, okay?
Okay, let’s tell just enough people to keep them in business… but no more than that.

The bbq is soooo goood

I don’t like giving a 1 star rating. I usually reserve that for a really horrible experience but in this case, this place earned a one star rating. I know that is harsh but this place straight up sucked.
There were 8 of us and when you have a large group it’s difficult to coordinate where to go to eat. Someone in the group suggested we check out the Binion and off we went. We stumbled across Benny’s and decided to go in since it wasn’t busy.
There is no hostess stand so you walk in and find your own table to sit at, at least I think that’s how it works. The middle aged waitress didn’t acknowledge us while we were standing at the front. We walked around the small space seeing if there was a table for 8, there was not. There’s only tables for 4. One couple was leaving and told us we could have their table to put together with the open table next to theirs. We did that. The waitress came over and did a quick wipe down with a dirty rag that left streaks and food behind. Eeww. I ended up wiping it down with the paper towels that were on the table.
The menu consists of 4 things. Full rack or half rack of ribs, ½ roasted chicken or ½ roasted chicken with ½ rack of ribs. Prices were really cheap. I’m thinking with only 4 things on the menu, the food has to be phenomenal. I was wrong. Mediocre. The ribs were a dry rub with sauce on the side. The sauce tasted like bottled sauce. My corn was the smallest out of the group about 2 inches long. The slaw was watery and the baked beans tasted like a pound of sugar was dumped in it. I didn’t try the corn bread. My friend’s chicken wasn’t cooked all the way and was pink by the bone so she didn’t eat it.
Service was slllloooooooowwwwww. My 86 grandma walks faster than she does. It took about 15 mins (and I’m being generous) for our waitress to come over and give us menus and even longer for her to come back and take our order. She left her bifocals on our table and when we were finally able to flag her down she mentioned she was looking all over for it because she couldn’t put in our order since she couldn’t see the computer screen. Great. We probably waited about an hour for our food. I really wanted to walk out but my friends said to give it a couple of more mins. Luckily we got our food after that.
One thing I saw that really disturbed me was, I saw our waitress dumping water glasses full of ice into the water pitcher. I know what I saw. She had 3 of the red water glasses, the same one I was drinking out of and saw her dump all 3 one at a time into the water pitcher. I don’t know if she was recycling customers drinking water or if she used the glasses as a vessel to carry ice. She then dropped ice on the counter and scooped it up off the counter with her bare hands and dumped it into the pitcher. I stopped drinking the water and told my friends not to drink it.
There was another waitress there, a younger one but she was more preoccupied with coming in and out of the restaurant. Can’t tell you what she was doing but she wasn’t working that’s for sure.
When our very frazzled and slow waitress finally brought our check, she actually gave us the wrong check. We had to flag her down and get the correct one. We spent another 15 mins waiting for her to come back with my friend’s credit card. Actually she didn’t come back so we went to her. My other friends went to go gamble while we dealt with her and my friend’s now missing credit card. When she finally found it she hadn’t processed it yet. While she was doing that she told us that the party before us forgot their credit card… uh. more like you forgot to give it back.
Also there was a young couple smoking their vapor there which I thought was rude and disrespectful. I overheard our waitress tell the young man «oh you go boy, just like smoking a hookah»…wow…just wow. We were there for more than 2 hours. Walk past this place and don’t do it. Seriously not worth it.

Great smoked ribs, didn’t even want to add bbq sauce. Beans were great as well. Simple menu. You can smell the smoker outback as you walk in, it’s hard not to order!

(It’s in Binnions Casino) We found out about Benny’s threw our neighbor. He ralked about how good it is. Because he knows were into bbq. Thee service was great, I can’t remember or servers name. I think it was Jenny. She was really nice. There menu is very simple. Ribs and chicken! Do you want all ribs or all chicken, or do you want half and half! It comes with delicious coleslaw, bbq beans that taste so good, corn on the cob and cornbread. I usually don’t want time spend my money on bbg, cause we do oir own. But this was really good. They also have a nice beer menu. I would eat here again if I get hungry on freamont st. My combo was $ 11.99. And I brought all my chicken home.

3.5 Stars
Something new is smoking at Fremont Street. It ain’t under the canopy. It is inside Binion’s Gambling Hall. Benny’s Smokin BBQ & Brews recently opened near the Binion’s sports book.
Last night my brother and I decided to give this place a try. I’d be a guinea pig and experience the newest BBQ restaurant in downtown. With that said, I observed that it is a streamlined operation. The hours are limited from 4 to 11p.m. They only serve dinner from a streamlined menu. There are only four entrees. Entrée one is the full rack of baby back ribs for $ 15.99. Entrée two is the half rack of baby back ribs for $ 10.99. Entrée three is the half chicken for $ 10.99. And Entrée four is the half rack and half chicken for $ 13.99. The Binion’s card discounts each entrée by $ 2. The first thing we did was sign up for the Binion’s card to take advantage of the $ 2 discount. All the entrees include baked beans, corn on the cob, a biscuit, and cole slaw.
Regardless that there are signs advertising the restaurant and a local paper featured a column on it, Benny’s Smokin BBQ & Brew was sparsely populated with patrons. Setting eyes on a dimly lit restaurant that resembles an Irish pub more than a BBQ joint, we sat ourselves. Faster than a hand of Blackjack, the friendly waitress greeted us. On account of the streamlined menu, deciding what to order was easy. I ordered the half rack of BBQ ribs and BBQ chicken and not a brew but a Coke.
I give Benny’s Smokin BBQ & Brew 3.5 stars, the equivalent of a «B+» on a report card. The ribs and chicken were tasty without all the stickiness. I only used a moderate amount of the roll of papertowels on the table. The ribs were easy to cut. This was not one of those messy BBQ disasters. I was satisfied with the ribs and chicken. And speaking for my brother so was he. What could I say about BBQ beans and a biscuit? They taste the same every place I eat them. I felt the corn on the cob could of been warmer. Just like anyplace I’ve been to, the cole slaw was delicious.
Sometimes, it pays to be a guinea pig. Now I know that when I am at the Fremont Street Experience and have a craving for BBQ food all I have to do is walk to the back of Binion’s.
