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!“

“Had an outstanding lunch here today! We ordered both specials, chicken and biscuits and a smoked sausage calzone. Both excellent, fresh, hot and delicious. Can't say enough about the chicken and biscuits, best we ever had with fresh large chunks of chicken and pillowy biscuits and beautifully presented with some vegetables and fresh herbs on top. Also, had a delicious pumpkin latte with homemade whipped cream. Can't go wrong here, such a cozy place with friendly people.“

“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.“
