The locals know Ben's BBQ Shack to be the only truly local BBQ around. They tout that they are, and will always be, a true BBQ joint.

Ben's beckons residents and visitors to Downtown Westfield for real barbecue that means slow smoking meat in an authentic pit, using nothing but wood for heat and smoke. No gas, electricity, controlled-air fans, rotisseries, or any other fancy gadgets needed.

Just honest BBQ done with a lot of effort and the way it ought to be, traditional and without cutting corners. Ben's knows, and now the locals know, it's hard to find it that way anymore and when you taste it, you know you’re getting something special.

Ben's is only open Fridays and Saturdays and it's best to pre-order! Planning a pick-up? Park nearby and visit Turn the Page first, or walk to the Wine Vault to get some wine to go with dinner. Or, pick up your coveted BBQ, take a walk to Grand Junction Plaza for a family picnic at the playground.
