38 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Cold Spring

“Crystal didn’t just serve us food — she ran a full-on Top Gun mission. Absolute legend. She moved through that restaurant like Tom cruse in the cockpit of a fighter jet, locking in drink refills, dropping off food with precision, and making jokes the whole time. She didn’t think… she just did. She was moving at mock 10.2, on point, and somehow everywhere at once. If there was a call sign for servers, hers would be Maverick 2.0.“

“absolutely the best cornbread I've ever had!!!! service was outstanding food was even better“

“Today I traveled from Florida to Cincinnati. My sister and I wanted to get a bite to eat . We didnt want to get fast food that you could get on every corener . While leaving the airport I Googled restaurants close by . There were several to choose from however, we decided on Pig Candy BBQ this restaurant did not disappoint. The food was amazing ( we had the special which was the brisket sandwich) this sandwich was very tender and full of flavor. If you are just traveling through or a local or feel up to a drive this is definitely worth your time .The staff knows what customer service means . All around Great food and service. A MUST STOP....... THANK YOU !!“

“I grew up in Mt. Washington and have been eating Sweets and Meats since they opened. I moved to Ky and stopped eating it until last night. We got their meal deal they were running and i forgot just how good it is. The food was warm, delicious and seasoned perfectly! Staff were friendly and attentive. We’ll be back soon!“

“Wonder Ribs and sides. Excellent customer service.“

“The pulled pork and smoked turkey were the absolute best for my mom’s 95th birthday party. Thanks B and staff!“

“Oh my God they're brisket sandwich is like an orgasm for your taste buds.“

“Everything was juicy and the portions were great. Most places seem to use turkey and sausage as a filler or a garnish, but we were pleasantly surprised by how flavorful they were. As for the sides, the potato salad, baked beans, and of course the mac and cheese hit the spot. Well done guys!“

“Outstanding place with great food!!“

“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.“

“I was working remotely with a co-worker in Newport today and suggested Webb's for lunch. I'm already a fan, but it was the first time visiting for my Cincy colleague. We had the brisket and the smoked and breaded wings. Everything was tasty and delicious- I especially loved the collard greens today which were seasoned perfectly. The overall vibe is casual and authentic with a warm sense of community. Regulars were popping in and out raving about their Friday cravings as they placed and picked up their orders. Joe, Leslie and the team never disappoint! Friendliest and most welcoming hosts in the neighborhood. Needless to say, my co-worker is also now a fan.“

“I just have to say that the turkey tips messy mac is the best I have ever had. If you haven't tried it you must.“

“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 ?“

“Didn’t disappoint. I’m glad I stopped“

“I stopped and tried We Smokin today for the first time and I’m so happy I finally stopped the rib tips was AMAZING!!! Very flavorful and tender he even gave me a taste test and the sauce alone had me then for them to be so tender I had to order some!!!! 10/10 I can’t wait to try more of his items on the menu! I will definitely be back💙“

The BBQ brisket, mac and cheese, and pulled pork out tremendous. Yet, that may might be out of items, you never know.“

That was a delicious drink. That was definitely my go-to when I went downtown so I hear you guys have a new location. Norwood I'm definitely going to have to try come on out. I love the food.“

“We enjoyed a delicious brisket/baked potato combo Friday evening on the way to a Christmas concert. As we were leaving the owner (Chris Rose) noticed that I was a University of Kentucky fan. He presented us with a piece of the Rupp Arena floor! We will return for the excellent grub and hospitality!!“

“Hands down best experience I have ever had a Texas Roadhouse or any other restaurant! Jerry is hands down the best waiter I’ve ever had! He went above and beyond to make sure we never had a half empty glass, rolls were always on the table. Food was 10/10! Best Texas Roadhouse in the country! Highly recommended Jerry!“

“This place is amazing! great food and generous drinks at crazy cheap prices. Live music every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We were visiting from the Cleveland Ohio area and found this place totally by accident. We felt like family 5 minutes after we walked in the door. Very friendly and helpful staff, and out of this world kitchen and a diverse menu. It will be your new favorite secret spot.“

“I have always loved this place and I think that they still serve good food not sure what happened on Sunday the 9th we never go out to eat on a Sunday for good reasons but had an early dinner there and after tasting the Brussel sprouts I fell so ill please throw out spoilt food and don't serve it to people it was the worst feeling like you're going to die.“

“Absolutely one of my favorite places to enjoy a night out. Laid back fun atmosphere with Live Music and seating. Huge patio area with giant Jenga, Cornhole and Connect Four. The firepit seating is large!! Outdoor bar and tons of picnic table. Inside vibes are immaculate with tons of seating, classic arcade games and billiards!! Food Menu just got a massive upgrade and it’s a must try! My favorite was the burnt ends brisket and mac-n-cheese.“

“Menu is small, but all food is great. My new go to spot“

“By far the best General Tso, egg roll and steamed rice I’ve had in years! My Hubby, daughter and teenage son love the crab rangoons and sweet&sour chicken! Definitely will be ordering from them again!“
