Best pulled pork and smoked wings in Ohio. Ribs leave something to be desired especially for the price but this is by far my go to place for bbq in Cincinnati

Elis is top notch. Great food and a fun venue. I appreciate them selling their rub so I can look like a champ grilling at home.

The Asian girl will communicate with cooks and mess with your food... if you can get passed that and get a solid meal its well worth it. They also send you out the door without utensils and napkins.

Best bbq I've eaten in a long time. The slaw was okay but the ribs and wings, mmmm, something yummy, chocolate meat!

We ordered 10 bones...top few were great. The 3 on the bottom were crispy like pork rinds. You could crush them like old burnt embers with your hands. Someone deliberately placed them on the bottom and covered them with others.

Idk for some reason it feels like the more you order, the worse the quality gets? I like their ribs. But lately they’ve been really hard and chewy, and cut really thin. When i was a brand new customer they were thick juicy & fresh. It seems as if i Keep getting yesterday’s ribs. It’s nice they’ll add an extra rib in addition to how many you’ve bought, but what’s the point if the rib is borderline hard, chewy & inedible 👎🏽 26 dollars for old hard ribs & a small side is giving scam lol. I recommend Checking your food before you buy.

I swore my first time was my last time but I tried it again. Place was empty for lunch still had to wait 30 mins for pulled pork. Cashier was friendly. My mom who ordered the sandwich thinks it was old it was so dry. Mine was carryout to warm for dinner, got home to find we didn't get the mac & cheese and cole slaw. All this aside pork was just ok. I prefer just about everywhere else for BBQ especially for the inconvenient location & the price.

I hate to say this, because I've met the owner through outside work. But the food was either too salty, greasy, or just thick. Cornbread was so salty it was inedible, pulled pork bun was soaked with grease, and Mac and cheese was so thick I couldn't swallow it. One plus was that service was fast. Didn't eat most of my meal, tho... Plenty of bathrooms is another
