    You can't quite day enough about Bent's tenderloins. You really have to see them and taste then to fully get it. The taste is even better than the look. I can't wait to come back and try some of their brisket and their pulled pork. The smokey air, when you pull gets your mouth watering pretty quickly as well. Highly highly recommend.

    Our family decided to eat our Thanksgiving meal here as the owners are my husband’s extended family on his mother’s side. I have never been here before but I can now say this was THE best thanksgiving meal I’ve had. Everything I put on my plate was prepared exactly how I think it should taste, from green beans to corn to the BEST Turkey ever!!! I really would like to try other meals on the menu and I’m willing to drive hours for this!!! Thank you so much for your hospitality and a wonderful meal! Burn family in Michigan.

    O my what a hidden little gem! I ordered the brisket and it was so good. It was falling apart and the homemade BBQ sauce is so flavorful! My parents got the breaded tenderloin to share so they asked for two buns. It’s pictured below. I tried a bite and would say if you like the breading on a country fried steak you will enjoy this. We had four other relatives who all enjoyed their food as well. No disappointments. The waitress was also very attentive, kind and accommodating!

    This place is GREAT! The tenderloin is freaking HUGE! It tastes great too. The only way to improve it is with a giant pretzel bun or giant Hawaiian bun. Definitely a must-stop if you're out driving around or if you're tired of the same old restaurants in the town you live in. Bent's is worth the drive! Sorry no pictures of the tenderloin. It came to the table and looked too good not to dig right in. It does fill 3/4 of the cookie sheet it comes on. It will feed 4 people easily.

    Amazing service, amazing food, and amazing prices for the quantity of food you receive. Averaged about $10 per adult meal. Tenderloin was so big it barely fit on a large dinner platter! Definitely going to be going back!

    Very busy place, placed my order and not everything was done at the same time, Food was good, ordered hashbrowns, got French fries, ordered mushrooms and onions with my steak, they didn't show up until we were ready to leave. My first experience here was awesome, 2nd experience not so much. Guess they were to busy with other orders, I wouldn't rule them out, but get there before 7:30 otherwise salad bar will be shut down. They have Country Bob's steak sauce available

    Review of their FoodTruck.... The Mrs texted me to let me know there was a great BBQ FoodTruck sitting out in front of the Wal-Mart store so I had to go check it out! Bents Smokehouse BBQ has some great Pulled Pork and I also added a side of Potato Salad....all for 10.00...a great deal as the portions were very generous! Great sandwich, very quick service! They have the condiments out front so you can sauce it up to your liking. We've got them scheduled to come out to Bill Colwell Ford in July so if you're in the area stop by!
