14 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Columbus

“We tried The Emerald’s Touch BBQ for the first time today and it did not disappoint! The staff greet you soon as you walk in and they were so much fun to talk to. The brisket was tender and juicy and the ribs were so flavorful. The key lime cake hit just right, too. We’ll be back soon!“

“This restaurant popped up when I was searching for some good some brisket, so I decided to try it. The food is amazing! Everything was cooked to perfection which the obvious smokey flavor. The sides were also really good: potato salad, collard greens coleslaw and those devil eggs!! 10/10 Can't wait to be back.“

“Great food and great staff always had good service“

“Let me start by saying WOW. I was honestly a bit hesitant to spend $8.00 on a chipped BBQ sandwich at first, but let me tell you… that hesitation vanished with the first bite. This thing isn’t just a “large” sandwich, it’s a huge, ginormous sandwich that could easily feed two people. Seriously, come hungry or bring a friend! The flavor is absolutely spot on, smoky, tender, and perfectly seasoned. You can tell they take pride in their craft. The portion size alone makes it worth every cent, but when you add in the flavor? It’s a no brainer. If you’re in the mood for good BBQ and want real value for your money, don’t pass this place up. I’ll definitely be back!“

The food quality is always on point and I can't say enough about the staff...friendly and professional! Thank you for busting your tail for all us hungry people in the community. 5 Stars 😊“
