I didn't even know that this place or the town it was in existed, but it's so great! Even though it was very busy, the service was still very quick and nice. The portions for all the food were so generous and the food itself was delicious! Definitely recommend for anyone in the area.

This is the second time I’ve come here. My main issue is I know across society everything has gone up in cost. I understand that yet what I found it was when I got my bill that the prices did not reflect what was on the menu. It’s a simple task of just placing on your menus A statement that there would be an increase of a certain percent on the items that I am choosing from. Or make mention that I should ask my server sense the prices did not reflect what I was actually paying.. I have no issue paying a fair price for good food good service but I do not like being taken by surprise. I do want to give us a top rating for the young man who checked on my table a couple times, Was very courteous. When I asked if he got to sharing the tips he informed me that he took care of the dishes. Since he had come to my table more often than my actual server I tipped him. So again top rate for that young man.

My husband and I tried it for the first time. We were fairly impressed by the food but there were gaps. The staff was iffy and the atmosphere was even more iffy!

I've never written a restaurant review before. We couldn't even eat the brisket or the boneless wings. Didn't even take it for our dog.Thankfully they gave a discount. We respectfully didn't want to get I'll from eating the food.

We've heard so much about Bents, and have been talking about going, so last night we drove the 45 minutes from our house. We wanted to sample things so we ordered the sampler with Brisket, Pulled Pork and Ribs. It looked good when it came out but the ribs were tough as well as the brisket. The Pulled Pork was good along with the sides that came with it. We ate very little brisket. I know brisket is fairly new up north but we've had it in Texas for the last 13 years and it's the best. It might help it they cook the ribs and brisket longer and slice the brisket thin. Not sure on the other food but they looked like huge servings as well as a nice crowd. As of now the 3 of us feel it's overrated and don't plan on coming back. It all depends on what this review brings.

The tenderloin was ok not seasoned at all. Yes it was huge but being just big is not enough. Yes it was good. However the place was filthy. Cheap plastic outdoor tables blackened on edges from filth. And the bathroom smelled like urine just disgusting. Waitress was not very friendly but wasn't mean just not happy to be there I guess. Was overpriced as well. Clean place up. Lower price season meat and put on a smile u you would get a 5 star.

We saw an article in the Iowa Magazine about the huge pork tenderloin they are known for. They have a good menu, but we were there for the tenderloin. The sandwich is huge, for $17.00 , there is enough food for 6-8 meals ! Taste is very good also.

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.
