Ben's Long Branch Bar-B-Q, Austin

Downtown workers and interstate highway travelers know Ben's. Just a half block off I-35, this smokin' joint is a barbecue capital. Owner Ben Wash serves up pork ribs, lean brisket, spicy sausage, mutton, and chicken with sides of beans and creamy potato salad.

Spend a few minutes reading the clippings that decorate the walls of Ben's. Stories that tell of charity benefits and celebrity diners, both recipients of Ben's goodwill and good cooking, dot the dining room.

Location: 900 E. 11th St., Austin
