This was my favorite spot until I visited Alamo BBQ - now I'm not so sure. However, the pulled pork and ribs are very good, and they make some great onion rings in the evening. If you want a sandwich, get the plate anyway and buy a sandwich bun - it's a way better deal and you will have leftovers to take home.

Weber One-Touch Platinum (the discontinued 4-legged, dome hole in the middle model plus a Smokenator when smoking); ThermoWorks TW 3628 & Kintrex IRT 0421 for briskets & other long cooks; Taylor Weekend Warrior (for the lanyard, not the cooktemps) & several ThermoPens for all others. I fully embrace the Minion Method and use Kingsford classic briquettes & Cowboy hardwood charcoal exclusively. Dry woodchips, of course. Beer - Devils Backbone Vienna Lager; bourbon - ALL but Bonded is preferred.
I'm guessing this is Benny's in the Bon Air neighborhood of Richmond VA South of the James, and Alamo is near Jefferson Park. I haven't been to either; we usually hit Q Barbeque in Glen Allen when passing through as it's close to I-95/I-295 on the north side. We also tried the Q at Short Pump and liked it slightly better than the Glen Allen store, but it's a far distance when you're not out there for another reason.
I've now printed the map with both Benny's and Alamo on it. Summer trips and maybe a Flying Squirrels minor league baseball game . . .

If you are going to a b'ball game, you might want to check out Buz and Ned's just down the road from the ball field. I personally don't care for Q bbq although it is well cooked. The sauces are not my favorites. B & N has good reviews.
