39 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Columbus

“great ribs and sauce. definitely would recommend and will be coming back. thank you“

“The service was amazing, the people are friendly. We went there because we are from Texas and miss bbq, and the brisket, chicken, links are exactly like we get back home! The prices are more than fair, and the service from Cynthia and Deante really make the experience wonderful I think it’s.“

“An amazing restaurant. We had the Hot Pot lunch menu. I highly recommend. A truly surprising find while visiting Ohio. The Szechuan Spicy soup base was delicous. Everything served was flavorful and fresh.“

“If you do not give this place a try you have missed something special.“

“A diamond in the rough. The current operators are 2nd generation. Food is good and service quality is what you would expect for a small family restaurant“

“the Brisket sandwich is my fave. ribs are also very good“

“I went to the Marion location. First time stopping in. I got the Brisket platter and two rib platters. I got them to go. The Brisket had great flavor, it was a little drier than I like my brisket but the flavor was there. The ribs were on point, tender juicy full of flavor. The sides I got were baked beans and Mac and cheese. The baked beans were great smoky flavor and a little bit of sweetness to them. The Mac and cheese perfect with how cheesy it was. Over all great food and friendly staff and you get your moneys worth of food. Keep up the good work“

“Quick and authentic. Consome’ dipping broth was good. Lime was fresh. Green sauce was perfect.“

“Enjoyed my visit, Symone helped us and she was so personable and polite. She greeted us and even said thank you before we left. It’s nice to go out and get excellent service. It’s a rare thing now. I will definitely be going back to the Polaris location.“

“We stumbled on it by accident and are happy we did!! It is under new ownership. The guy that took over had previously had a food truck down the road!! The brisket nachos are amazing!! If you love Texas BBQ, it’s the place to be!!“

“Good food and good service at an all-right price is pretty rare to find. Definitely will be coming back soon.“

“Driving by stopped in for a quick lunch and food was amazing and employees were nice“

“Been here twice and it looks like a lot of the reviews bringing their score down are from the first week of opening. If you give a restaurant a bad review in their first couple weeks of figuring out the quirks, shame on you!

Food has been solid...ribs are my favorite followed by smoked turkey. Sides have been great as well...bean's with burnt ends and collard greens are my favorite.

Opportunities as always - love to see the wings smoked, not fried. Noise is also something that could be softened.

Overall, super happy to have such a place close by. Congrats to the Hank's team!“

“Enjoy the food and service. Kevin is always friendly and knows how to make you forget abut the stressful day you just had,“

“I don't know what I was expecting, but this wasn't it. Extremely crowded. The floor was covered in spilled drinks. Nowhere to sit or put a coat. The line at the bar was long. The music was so loud we couldn't hear anyone. There were three stalls in the women's room - one had no door at all, and one had a door that wouldn't close. You can't watch anyone ride the bull as it is hidden in the back corner. This place is a waste of time.“

“Food has always been consistently excellent.“

“I am visiting from Boston and just happen to spontaneously tour the Ohio Statehouse. Here, I lunched at HouseTaco which locates inside the Statehouse itself. The food is quick and fresh. Chef Zach prepared the tacos on-site with passion. They were delicious! What a hidden gem!!!“

“Food was absolutely amazing, great priced and we will be back for sure!“

“This was the most diabolically delicious lunch I have had in ages…. I will genuinely crave this and I am sad I don’t live closer…. There was so much flavor in every bite. You HAVE to get the green sauce, it changed my life. The people working in the truck were also super friendly. 10/10, 5 star review. This place deserves some recognition!!!“

“I find it super popular whenever i’ve went. The wait can be a bit long depending on when you go, but it’s definitely worth it. The servers are amazing and super friendly. Fast service as well! the food here is great and it’s amazing for the price! I’ve done both the Bbq and hotpot, and i definitely recommend it! been here twice and will definitely be coming again!“

“I'll definitely eat here again. The food was cooked perfectly, and came out quickly. Staff were pleasant and accommodating. Don't skip this place if you want to try something a little out of the ordinary. Recommend the crab rangoon, the lumpia, chicken katsu, and the pork.“

“I have never felt compelled to leave a review until this place. Ordered the pan seared potstickers and the Dan Dan Hand Stretched Noodles. I am fortunate enough to travel around the world for my work and I can genuinely say this is the most complex and flavorful noodle dish I have ever eaten regardless of restaurant or country. The sesame paste they use in the base gives the most rich umami flavor to go with the wonderfully seasoned beef. The hand stretched noodles have truly perfect tooth to them as well giving a very hearty feel to the dish! I could not recommend this place enough! Truly the first 10/10 I have had in Columbus, Ohio.“

“The food was really really good as were the potion size . I got the bbq bento box and takoyaki. The takoyaki was amazing. It's not on the printed menu, but it is online“

“Nicole, Jonah and Matt are my absolute favorites!!! amazing vibes, great service!! the best dive bar in the brewery district 🙌🏽!! Kitchen open till 1am always a plus 🤌🏽 and if you can catch Tommy he's best gem of the whole place ❤️“

“Ordered the medallion meal. The meat was all fat and gristle.“

“Went there with a friend on a Tuesday night. The place was busy - full house. My filet was perfect, medium rare, and the salads fresh. Our waiter was very attentive and it all made for a great experience. Always delicious when I've gone to this location.“

“Wanted a Clevelander at the Heritage Fest but they ran out of Hotdogs and replaced it with a polish sausage. Needless to say…. It was spectacular. I will be driving to Ace Hardware in New Albany to get another. Best Bar B Q in the 614.“

“Flavourful and juicy burgers with really crispy and tasty fries. Great owner with a friendly personality. Definitely recommend popping by and giving it a try! The pricing is very competitive too.“

“Our server was a super sweet man with kind eyes and a kind heart who listens to his customers and is funny with a side of sarcasm. Strong in sports talk but lacks diversity when it comes to geopolitical conversation. Needs more world experience and may need improvement on his knowledge of the local area. Always ball ready.

The food is solid too.“

“Place was nice, clean, was greeted promptly , sat promptly , food and service overall was great, steaks were cooked as ordered , my one complaint is table sizing , the tables are bit small to fit a larger family , it was my birthday dinner and had me, my boyfriend, my parents and siblings and we barely could for drinks, bread, appetizers , salads and main dishes on the table without running out of room or being elbow to elbow .“

“food was very good...service is awful....and the pit for 2-3 did not have nearly the amount shown in the photos.“

“Went for lunch with friend. seated immediately but take longer to come back and check on us. The meals was delicious and large portion. The dinning room appears clean and bright. The price is reasonable. i would really to anyone that like Korean food“

“Great selection of good food and great outdoor seating area to enjoy the weather.“

“Service was great and the food was delicious!!“
