38 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Cold Spring

“Our experience was just incredible. My family came here for a pre birthday dinner for myself. Our waiter Dylan was fantastic - very down to earth, kind and funny. He was running every which way but he also maintained a great attitude. I believe he just may be the best server I’ve had at a restaurant! Our food/drinks were so tasty. My husbands food was running a bit behind ours due some malfunction in the kitchen with the stoves/ovens, so the manager Devin came over and let us know that my husbands meal would be comped AND we would get a free dessert. We truly were not expecting anything like that. I overheard Devin at another table complimenting his entire staff by saying he has the best in the world. It truly shows. Even if we did not get anything for free, it was still a great experience that deserved a great review. Thank you to both Dylan and Devin for going over and beyond for your customers!“

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.

“Sweets and Meats Catered our wedding and we are so glad we chose them! They are great to work with and communicating and covering the details all went really well. They BBQ is delicious! I would definitely recommend them and if you are ever in Cincinnati make sure to stop by thier restaurant!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Wonder Ribs and sides. Excellent customer service.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Best steak burgers IN THE WORLD!!!💪“

“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 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.“

“Went to the College Hill location after work last night. I decided to try the brisket smashburger. I was hooked from the first bite! That is definitely now my favorite burger! Maya and Kobe (I hope I spelled their names correctly!) were on duty, and both were friendly and professional. It was a great experience!“

“Amazing comfort food. So glad she insisted we get sides. Everything was delicious, and reminded me of the food my great grandma used to make. Especially the beans, both green and baked were perfect. The bbq was good too! lol Really great food all around“

“we have been searching for good soul food for months...we found our spot today ! Delicious.“

“Food is really good pairings well done with the beers...LAMB RIBS!!! OMG..A MUST HAVE!!“

“Hubby & I just had an early Sunday dinner here ( 1st time eating here ) We enjoyed the 3 meat sampler. This came with brisket, four delicious wings and pulled pork. Sides-Mac and cheese, baked beans and roasted brussel sprouts, which I had never had before, & Texas toast. everything was absolutely delicious! the brisket was tender and there was nearly zero fat. I'm not a fan of bone-in wings but these were excellent! They also have delicious sauces to choose from. I highly recommend next time you're in the mood for barbecue in/around Alexandria, check out Four Mile Pig!!!“

“Amazingggggg food!! Best pulled pork, baked beans and jalapeño cornbread I’ve eaten!“

“The food is great. The hot mess fries with queso corn pulled pork and fries was amazing. The brisket is also some of the best brisket I have had in Cincinnati. We had an issue with the food and the man behind the counter was so incredibly kind and fixed the mistake. The staff is so kind and genuine whenever we have been.“

“Wonderful place to be! Bit pricey but honestly worth it if you like good food that you can cook to your liking! Great fast customer service as well! But heads up, if you waste food they charge you another 20% to your bill so get what your actually going to eat unless you wanna pay extra to take it home.“

“Heard about this place on Tiktok. Really loved the vibes! Hoping to drop by if I'm ever in the area.“

“Ribs and green are delicious!!!!“

“Fire. I got a bowl with chicken and a side of the brisket. Both were amazing. The similarities to chipotle and with the cheese because the rice the chicken, the toppings were different, even though the ideas are similar. The coconut hot sauce was amazing and flavorful, and didn’t scorch your tongue so the rest of the flavors didn’t come through. The brisket absolutely juicy And amazing and good just by itself. I can’t wait to try the pork belly next time.“

“The bbq food was so delicious! The homemade bbq sauces were so tasty! The baked beans were delicious too! Also, the pretzels were some of the best I’ve ever had (especially with the garlic seasoning added)!“

“The food is delicious and the staff are very friendly and excellent at their job!“

“Great atmosphere and the best brisket. The owner, the cook, the bartender and all of the waitstaff are friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!“

“fantastic place great food“

“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.“

“Loved this place. First time and will definitely be going back. I suggest the beef sliders and salmon tacos. So tasty!!“

“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!“

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

“Loved this location. Everything was nice, but the waiter forgot to ask what I wanted to drink. However, the waiter was nice. Maybe he had a lot going on. Other than that the food was good and the atmosphere was nice, and the waiter was kind.“

“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.“

“When you walk in the menu on the wall is the first thing you see. Half of the lights are out. I got the orange chicken and white rice. The chicken was overcooked, so it was hard to eat. The rice was good, but no fortune cookie, which was disappointing.“
