4 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Lima

“Our group of 6 had a wonderful experience last night for dinner. My wife and I had a full rack of their St. Louis pork ribs smothered in lingonberry BBQ sauce. The meat was perfectly cooked with a soft pull apart tenderness that left a clean bone. The sauce was great; if you like lightly sweetened lingonberries, you're going to love this. We also had an order of smoked cauliflower which was new to us. It was tasty and novel, almost like a meaty veggie. We also had pit beans and potato salad. All yummy and way too much so we brought a bunch of it home. So A+ on the food. Other highlights include friendly service (it wasn't busy so we had engaging conversations with the manager/server/host? - wish I had asked more about her role); overall aesthetic (nice old converted building with brick walls and high tin ceiling) and design theme (LOVE the 20th sci-fi comic book look); ordering simplicity (via QR code and Toast app, though it took our older friends a moment to figure it out); and beer choices (including Surly, from Minneapolis (we've visited their brewery - it's big and fun)). Great location with easy parking. Excellent experience all around. Highly recommended!“

“Stopped for lunch today it was as such a cozy atmosphere and the rice bowl was AMAZING and had fresh ingredients, definitely recommend.“

“Thank you Pat for AMAZING beef brisket!! Ohmygoodness!! I couldn't stop eating it, and I was supposed to be sharing! The potatoes, corn, and coleslaw was really delicious too! Having Celiac and having to find gluten free options can be tough, but I appreciated having options, and enjoying every bite!“

“Some of the best bbq I've had in a while. The ribs are divine. Baked beans are killer. Cornbread moist and scrumptious. Great flavor on the pulled pork and a nice sized slab of perfectly cooked brisket. Loved having 4 different sauces on the table to try. Bought a bottle to take home.We will definitely be back.“
