I moved out of Austin in 2000 and now reside in Fort Worth. I went to many BBQ joints while living in Austin and this is honestly the only one I miss. My usual was the the Big Ben Special (Elgin sausage and brisket sandwich). Love the ribs and chicken too. Even if you are full, don't leave without getting dessert. The best banana pudding and peach cobbler around. What really makes Ben's BBQ great is Ben himself. He is simply a wonderful guy. I worked at an apartment complex he resided at. First of the month meant a great conversation with Ben, full of great stories. He also would bring us a bag full of his wonderful food. He really does take pride in everything he does.
Pros: Great food, Great people, Great value
