Barbeque Restaurants near Newport

“We were traveling from Louisville KY to home in Akron Ohio. We were craving some bbq! We found Beards and Belly and went to check it out. We were so happy we did! Food was AMAZING!! Their recipe for greens, potato salad and pickle salad were the best we’ve ever had!! BBQ was AMAZING! Brisket, pork belly and sausage! It was definitely finger licking good!! The atmosphere and the jolly bearded guys were so friendly too!We will be back!“

“Really fun place...dancing, music by Iconx ( one of the best in the area! Book EARLY! ) Never ate, but the service had to struggle a bit because of the huge crowd ( ICONIX is loved ).Parking: You pretty much have to park on the street, so the earlier you get there, the better...“

“The food is fantastic and everyone there is friendly. Webb dropped off samples to the table without asking and told us if we wanted any other samples to ask. But seriously, if you’re in Newport on a Saturday, you NEED to try this. Best food in Newport.“

“I’ve never had a dinner out that tasted more like homemade food! Had the cowboy pork chop with Kentucky white gravy and it was delicious. From the hostess to the manager, everyone was so nice. Alex, our waitress was so friendly and great!!! Thx Shiners for a great time ?“

“If you are in the mood for BBQ of any kind, do not pass Pig Candy BBQ by. In fact, you should go out of your way to go to Pig Candy BBQ. (we went to the Kellogg Ave location) It was EXCELLENT. We had the Potato Bomb which is a huge baked potato with your choice of meat on it. I had the brisket on it. The brisket was so tender and so tasty. The sides of chili, cheddar grits and cole slaw were just as good. My wife had the BBQ meat quesadilla and of course EXCELLENT. Dominick took our order and was so pleasant and patient. He gave us all the info we needed about each dish as we took our time looking at the huge menu on the wall. Then when we were eating, he came by not once, not twice but 3 times to see how we were doing. When Patrick brought our food out, it was with a smile. Seating was comfortable with padded chairs inside (some). They have an outside porch area but a bit to chilly and rainy to go out there. BTW...my friend who needs to eat gluten-free was ecstatic about this new place he could go to.“

“I ordered the beef rendang on DoorDash, as I'm Indonesian and from Maryland but just moved to Cincy from Myrtle Beach (absolutely no diversity there). It was sweet, spicy, and tender; almost exactly like how my mom would make it. Thank you for a wonderful and refreshing meal to remind me of home, especially as Ramadan is approaching. Absolutely delicious!I do wish the portion size was bigger. Maybe it's because when my mom would cook it, I could keep coming back for more, but it did seem like a bit of a smaller portion for $14.“

“Came with a group for lunch. Everything was good. The only complaint from the group was the Swamp Mud drink, apparently it tasted like a black licorice liquor was mixed in for the coloring effect. But the other drinks were on point. The pasta dish was excellent. We will definitely be back.“

“Enjoyed food and sevice.Would recommend that the lady working the front end be rewarded from owner for the great work she did for all in the store and drive up window. I can't imagine a person who could have performed at her level. The kitchen staff also did great on their side.“

“If you ask how I want the burger cooked, you got to deliver. I said medium, and I got well done, not burnt or dry though. It was still juicy and seasoned fine. It was just "eh". A $16 burger should make want to come back. Fries were seasoned well and crispy.“

“We are on vacation visiting family in Kentucky when we ended up in the restraunt. Welcoming is an understatement. The food was amazing and the service was even better. While we were eating lunch, Guy the owner came out to talk to us and donated an electric wheelchair to my son who has a manual wheel chair. My son is so excited and so happy he met someone so generous who also had a bad motorcycle accident like him. We are so blessed to have come in that day and be given something that we would not have gotten otherwise! Thank you so much Guy and team!Wheelchair accessibility: Not many places are actually handicap accessible. This place was spacious and we had lots of room!“

“By far the best bbq in Cincinnati hands down. The brisket is from heaven ❤ for such a small location it puts out an amazing amount of bbq. Get there early cus they sell out. They also have another location in OTR we haven't been to but know they serve alcohol there ?“

“Great little BBQ spot!! We were traveling through the area and wanted to try some BBQ...while searching came across Just Q'in BBQ. We ordered Brisket, Ribs, Rib tips, and the Brisket and Mac bowl. Everything was pretty good, the Mac needed a little more cheese but other than that the BBQ was great with a nice smoke to it!! Overall, Great BBQ spot!!“

“I always made sure to judge a BBQ joint based on the ribs, burger or pulled pork sandwich. I got 4 bones and mac and cheese with 'make it dirty' for sides. They also gave coleslaw and sweet dip. It was so good, I didn't care that I had it…...“

“This is the one they came by PepsiCo my job and yoooo this truck was straight fire from the tender pulled pork and the well seasoned flavorful Mac and cheese to the bussn bake beans definitely wish they come back to my job 10/10 my favorite was the strawberry shortcake“

“This place was excellent. Brisket was on point along with the cowboy beans.Their white bbq sauce is where it’s at with the brisket.Also. Shout out to service. First time here and they were invested in making sure it was a good experience.Nobody is going to leave here disappointed.“

“Vegetarian options: Not very good for vegetarians. My wife got the Country Veg plate and it came with a hunk of steak bleeding into the baked potato. The server then told us the baked potatoes are also not vegetarian and rubbed in bacon grease. She had to get Mac and cheese instead.“

“Awesome place, the pulled pork sandwich, baked beans and banana pudding were excellent.Fries were a bit overdone, but not a huge deal breaker.Space was well kept and clean.Strongly recommend.Kid-friendliness: There's kids menu, seems reasonably priced.“

“I've never had a bad meal at this place. The food is always good and the service is exceptional. Considering this is a chain restaurant, it blows my mond how good their steaks can be. I've had a better steak here than what I've had at Walt's or Ruby's, I kid you not. Every time I eat here, it is consistently good, the food is fresh and well prepared.“

“I have been staying at The Phelps for business. I frequently get in late, and quite frankly do not feel like going out. The Phelps Bar is the perfect solution. I have been staying at The Phelps Hotel on and off for roughly a month so far. I have had most of their menu items and have yet to have one that has not been excellent. They recently changed their food and drink menu, so there are many new items to try. They have an outstanding "Signature Drink" Menu. My favorite is the Fig & Rosemary Old Fashioned that is hands down the very best Old Fashioned I have had anywhere, and that includes The Greenbrier Resort. The staff are all amazing and help to make the experience even better. My hat is off to Mark (I think he is the manager), Kat and Tynisa who run the bar, and David the cook. If you find yourself in the Downtown Cincinnati area close to the stadiums, then you really should try The Phelps Bar. You will not be disappointed.“

“New customer. Had tender juicy turkey tips?? with cheesy creamy •seasoned• mac n chz?. Came back the next day with my son. We had turkey tips with baked beans and yams. So so good! Customer service was prefect! Clear communication and helpful with smiles ?“

“A great classic Cincinnati pub up in Mt. Adams and on the northend of the main strip. A historical building that has been treasured for years creates an amazing setting for great grub and good times. The menu is eclectic and the drinks are good. Have gone many times when in town for business or visiting my daughter at UC. Easily accessed from downtown or campus. Parking is on the street & is always interesting. Folks are always friendly & helpful. A good cultural destination if you're looking for a classic Cincinnati experience. Then go around the corner and enjoy some live music at The Blind Lemon!“

“I would recommend Velvet Smoke BBQ in white oak. One of the best bbq places I have ever had and it comes out of a small mom and pop shop. The ribs, burnt ends, and the wings are by far my favorite. Best BBQ in town, and I would recommend it to anyone that I know. If you are in the Cincinnati, OH area you need to check out this place!! 10/10!“

“What can I say. I’m a foody so I’ll start by saying the portions are very generous for the price. Now if you’re a wing lover definitely get the wings and make sure you get a few flavors. If you get a dinner I recommend the rib tips, cabbage and jalapeño cornbread. Chef Tony and Nicole really will make you feel welcome. Great Barbecue restaurant.“

“Very friendly always. The best burger I've had in years, well seasoned, juicy, cooked perfect. I couldn't finish the burger and had the rest for breakfast and it was still awesome. My son had wings and finished them down to the bone. Good good food ?“

“Nikki was my server and she was friendly. She recommended us the couples flight which we did. It did take about 30 minutes or more until we got our meat to cook when we were on a time crunch. The table next to us was extremely loud so I was unable to have a conversation with my date. Food was a large amount for fair pricing. We will go back but will ask to be in a more secluded table towards the front.“

“The salad was less impressive than normal. The steak and loaded baked potatoe were FAB.From 3p to 5p they now have early dinner specials. I have never noticed before, maybe a new thing? There are almost 10 options to choose from for $12.99.Pictured is my larger 8oz steak, potatoe and salad.Kid-friendliness: Kid menu, high chairs etc are available.“
