50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Newport

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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.

“This Highland Heights is pretty clean. The music is pretty good. The staff here is nice. The person running the register brought the food to the table. I had the ‘Bama pulled chicken sandwich, Mac n cheese, and fries. All three are on point, especially the fries. The sweet tea is perfect.“

“I hold a very high standard for bbq joints and this is on the top of my fabulous list! My family is in town to attend Kings Island Winter Fest and the Cincy Zoo Lights so my daughter happened to find this place not far from our airbnb and man am I glad she did! Soooooo good! Nice job, young lady! Hope to see you next time we’re here!“

“Outstanding place with great food!!“

“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 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.“

“TOMORROW MAY 31ST 2024 ITS Karaoke 🎤 night.!!! 😜 🤪 COME SEE US“

“Ribs and green are delicious!!!!“

“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!“

“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 ?“

“Best steak burgers IN THE WORLD!!!💪“

“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“

“This place has the best Korean BBQ in the area. I only wish they had honey dew boba. That would seal the deal. But still our first pick always over others.“

“nice fast and friendly delivery at a affordable price omg them rib tips off the chain tender and seasoned soul food at it's best“

“Very good BBQ conveniently located in the food court above the downtown Kroger. Food served fast and reasonably priced.

I ordered and enjoyed a pulled pork sandwich with Carolina Gold sauce. You can add a side and a drink for a few dollars more.“

“I felt like I was back in Malaysia from the first bite, from the scent too! The restaurant is cute, the service was incredible (she explained the menu very well too) and the food transported me. I lived 6years in Malaysia and can attest that the food taste authentic. I am definitely going to frequent sago. Made me really happy“

“First visit today - I ordered 2 full slabs, the fried cabbage, jalapeño corn bread stuffing, and potato salad sides, all of which perfectly compliment the smoke on those ribs. Also got to sample a new menu item - jerk pork burnt ends. Absolutely fantastic! The flavor of that jerk sauce will give you chills. Definitely coming back to try everything (yes, everything) else. Dine in or carry-out - just go get some!!“

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

“Food was excellent! We need one of these in swmo!!“

“Went here with a few friends and had an awesome time. The staff treated us like royalty and the owner recognized one person in our group as one of their regulars. The wings were outstanding and you can order them per wing instead of it being a fixed amount, which is always my preference. This was my fist time there and I would recommend it to anyone. It's a great location, the inside is really cool with the exposed barrels displayed, and it was very clean. Plenty of TVs inside the bar area too. Our group will be going back again soon.“

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

“This is a antique shop, not sure about the food. I just want to express my mother passed away 2 years ago. People had stolen valuables from her home that she worked so hard for, cherished. My mother never bothered a soul, very private, great all around American citizen. Due to my poor judgement trying to help friends in need they were stealing my mother's things and taking them to this antique shop to sell them cost irrelevant they should have never been stolen and or sold. I, 1st time walked in this shop with a friend and spotted immediately my late mothers dishes etc. I panicked, want real sure who, how, why they were there. I immediately notified the purchasing rep (owner) Tiffany told her my story. Without question, care, concern she immediately started boxing, bagging ALL of my mother's things. I offered to pay her. She absolutely refused any amount of money. No questions etc she expressed her sympathy, she expressed her unaware. She stated to me description without name as she also stated she would not ever sell to this couple again. That was a very kind gesture as she did not have to take any type of loss. She is a business woman her honesty will forever hold a special place in my heart as she will be rewarded 10 fold for her good deeds. It's hard these days to trust people. Tiffany you rock sister. I will shout it from the roof tops and suggest everyone I know to shop at your cute little antique, botique shop love to all. Xoxo“

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

“fantastic place great food“

“Went for 1$wing Wednesday. Service was trash and it wasn’t that many people there. The wings definitely needed sauce but the bama white sauce was watery. The corn muffin was very dry,the one from Popeyes is better. The food was nice and hot, the greens, beans and rice and fries were amazing!! The macaroni was very creamy tho. My first time there“

“No complaints other then prices that need to include a fair enough valuable product for versing cost tax and tips this place is great so why don't they be fair value for what they charge you know and offer more come products like Tropicana fruit punch and gluten free things or ways the meat can come with no juice for people that want that room for condiments or other sensitivity reasons and if you got pork why not pulled pork steakhouse style the longhorns way ?“

“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“

“Spicy chicken: Good, the ? is 3 out of 5 to me. You can see the red spice. Spicy party wings are great. Regular chicken: A bit too salty. Fish: Good. Fried okra: Delicious ! Wedges: So good ! Red beans & rice: Delicious & vegan. Corn bread: Deliciously buttery & soft. Yams: Good & sweet. Mac & Cheese: Needs richer cheese. Taste ok with yams. Greens: Taste ok with mac & ch. Mash potatoes: Fine w/o gravy. $6.99- 2pc. (Breast & Leg), 1 side & cornbread. 2 breast meal is $7.99.“

“We always love going to TRH for a family or friend’s night out. Servers are always super nice and friendly. Place is always packed but they always get us in fast as long as we add ourselves to the online wait list. 0-20 mins. Thanks guys!“

“I have loved Montgomery Inn since 1960 and the quality of food and service has never waned. I don't order ribs anywhere else because no matter how much I wanted to have ribs at other etablishments, I was always disappointed. Now, I don't even try the other kinds.“

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

“I remember trying this place when I first moved to Cincinnati because it’s conveniently right around the corner and wanted to try it based on all the good reviews, I remember disliking half of my meal but liking the other half , I remember the macaroni and cheese being pretty good and the cornbread being the best I’ve ever had fast forward to today and still kind of mixed reviews because once again I liked some parts and disliked other parts , the macaroni this time wasn’t that great it was very oily ? Potato salad was good and the hot dog was good , the Jamaican beef patty was tough asf , cornbread was decent , I’ll probably try again as I always give places a three strikes and your out type of thing not gonna say it’s great but it’s good I think I just need to keep trying different things from them til I get a niche for something I like“

“We started with stuffed mushrooms— good but VERY cheesy. The french onion soup I had next was also very cheesy with little broth and few onions—can’t recommend it. My wife’s salad looked fine. We each had the smothered chopped steak. It was good. Overall the meal was good but not great.“
