    Very welcoming , seat yourself. Wanted to try some good old NC smiled BBQ. The waitress was sweet and down to earth. She informed us they soda products are coke and tea. I wanted to try some of everything so she recommended the 3 meats and sides. I ordered the ribs, smoked meatloaf and burnt ends with baked beans and collard greens. Loved the meatloaf it was moist and came with cheese, seasoning on point. Baked beans are good with a tangy sweet base. Collared greens had no flavor did have smoke meat but they need to cook some more, the greens was still crunchy. Burnt ends very tough good sauce. Smoked ribs came out room temperature too tough to chew not much flavor. Eric got the Daddy's Burger and stew potatoes. Found out all the bugers are cooked well done, its okay but the chill brings out the flavor. With all that being said I will be going back again maybe it was just an off day. The menu has so much to choose from.

    Vibe: Staying in nearby hotel Service: A+ (quick, courteous, kind) Order: 2 meat plate (burnt ends & ribs), comes with 2 sides (fried okra, collards) and hush puppies Food: Good Meat was a little dry but had a good flavor. Okra and collards were fresh fried and hot and perfectly seasoned! Overall a delicious meal for $18

    This summer we drove from New England to Florida. Along the way we've been stopping at local favorites with a focus on small businesses. Benson NC happened to be along our route right in time for dinner. We decided on Daddy Ds Bbq. It was just me, hubby, and my 15 year old on this trip. We ordered the family meal of burnt ends. Our server JeryElijah was patient with us. We were deciding on our sides and he let us sample collard greens and Brunswick stew. That was so awesome. So that sealed the deal for us on the collard greens. We also got fries for my son and a small individual side of baked beans. Let me tell you - we stopped and had bbq on many places on this trip and I think Daddy Ds was my favorite. The burnt ends were fantastic. The fries were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The collard greens was love at first bite. (My only thing with the collard greens was that I think they should serve it in a double paper bowl because it has so much liquid). Baked beans were sweet and tangy. I've only had hush puppies a few times before and I really loved them here. We didn't have to use any of the 4 provided bbq sauces (hot, sweet, mild, and eastern) or ketchup for the fries. I generally try all of the homemade sauces that we come across but honestly the food was already perfect. We tried both of the desserts that they offered that day- banana pudding and apple cobbler. Banana pudding was fabulous. Topped with crushed trefoil cookies (I think), fresh banana slices, and cool whip topping. The apple cobbler had plenty of crumb topping and it was very warm and fresh. Lots of cinnamon sweetness. I loved at the music that they played- lots of 80s 90s 2000s hits. Bathrooms were clean. Water that they served tasted refreshingly crisp. And they use nugget ice! Also they have Cheerwine! Menu prices were very reasonable. I could see myself here often if I lived closer!! This place even has a drive thru window to order from. Really easy on and off of 95 which was our biggest criteria for choosing a spot. The air conditioning was on the cooler side. The real gem here was JeryElijah. He was really attentive, came by often, well mannered, and patient. I hope management sees this. This young man is the perfect example of who you'd want to represent your business.

    I am from DC/Maryland but visited NC for my family reunion over this year's Fourth of July weekend. We stayed at the Holiday Inn and Daddy D's is located right across the street. I am SO happy we stopped here my entire family ate here all weekend. The food is amazing, the restaurant itself is clean and the staff is welcoming and helpful!! Amazing customer service. They really added to me and my family's experience. I am pleasantly surprised at the development of Benson and I'm so happy Daddy D's is apart of it! I can't wait to come back and visit again.

    Was in the mood for BBQ and decided to try here. I'm from NY so I already know how the down south do their BBQ sauce- vinegar based, personally I do not like it but that aside the food was good ! I was really impressed with how moist the pulled pork was and the smoked sauce. You could definitely taste that smoky flavor. It was really good. The only thing I wasn't that impressed with was the brisket. It was just OK. I would swap it out with something else next time to try. I was nervous to try the baked beans because of the vinegar base but it actually wasn't that bad and I did enjoy them, the mac & cheese was OK. It was a little too watery and it could definitely have been more cheesy, but it was good overall. The hush puppies were also really good. I would definitely come back here and try more items on their menu. Also this whole play for $21?!? Definitely a 8.5/10 lol

    Amazing BBQ food, just a hot minute off I-95 If you want to experience some legit local flavor, served fast & friendly..stop here. Cute little casual dining area with booths and tables like a fast food joint but there's table service. Clean & inviting with local decor The quality and flavor of the food, you won't believe the speed from ordering to meals delivered to table. We make it a point on every road trip to find a good local BBQ spot to dine. One time here and I can tell you..this is going to be a regular stop. EVERYTHING we had was so flavorful. All of the meats were juicy and tender. We had chicken, brisket and pulled pork. The Mac & cheese will have you testifying OMG. I could have eaten the hush puppies all day. Portions are generous. So much for the money. Free refills on sodas. Super friendly service. Thanks Daddy! We will definitely be back!

    We were looking for a new restaurant that we had not eaten at before and discovered Daddy D's BBQ in Benson. We were NOT disappointed. I had chopped BBQ, baked beans, boiled potatoes, slaw and hushpuppies. My wife ordered smoked chicken. Everything we ate was delicious! We will definitely be visiting again!

We came in and ordered and paid at the counter, found our seats, and then waited while our food was being prepared. There's something to see on every wall, and you can tell they know what they're doing with all of the trophies on display that they've won throughout the years. The indoor seating isn't too ample, so don't plan a family reunion, but it can hold a few families at dinner time. There's not a bad meat on the menu. If you're a vegetarian, this is not your new favorite spot. We got their brisket, chicken leg, and smoked turkey. The sauces at the table were tasty, and everyone found a favorite. We were thankful for the ample supply of paper towels, because our littles chowed down and needed to be wiped clean. This Redneck BBQ Lab knows what they're doing. On this particular night, they had too many leftover chicken halves towards the end of the evening, and were selling them half off, so we ate our food, and then got chicken to go for a future meal. Stop in and try it sometime.

The string beans and cabbage were as routine as possible. Seemingly no different than what you'd find at Cracker Barrel or a Bob Evans. But the hush puppies were some of the best I've ever had. Soft and flavorful on the inside; firm, with a mild crunch on the out. They didn't have the sandwich I wanted so I asked for a bun to make my own. And I did. I went in expecting to mix hearts with gizzards but instead they offered livers. I made due. I won't do that again. The iron flavor is too much. Next time, I'll stick with gizzards. They were good. Especially with lots of hot sauce. Best, A.

It's been family owned since 1930! Everyone we encountered was very friendly. Including the local sheriff who was the cashier.
