Every single morsel of food was to my liking- I especially enjoyed the barbecue and fried chicken. The cold food was great as well , I enjoyed the shrimp and crab dip. My server was nice and hospitable. This was a very enjoyable brunch. I hope to return for dinner soon.“

“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“

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

Birria Tacos with their brisket, talk about mouth watering delicious! Don't even get on the fair like fries! We will definitely be back with friends!“

“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.“

“Finally, after wanting to try this place for a couple years. They have way better hours than the first time I saw this place. I got a sandwich today. Pulled pork with jalapeno sauce. It was pretty good. Portion was sized right. It beats the hell out of any other nearby fast food. So right now, I recommend Ray Ray's Hog Pit. I will be back soon for the Meat Sweats so I can try the rest of the menu. Thanks. ✌️“

“I pay $10 just for a sandwich.
No drink, no fries, just a it's kid sandwich

Parking: Customers work very hard for their money, and we'll like to get quantity and quality for their hard earned money. $10 for a small sandwich is a great profit for the store and hands in the pockets for the customer.“

“I came here yesterday to eat with my dad and preschool-age son. The employee who took our order was so kind to us, and the food was great. Great barbecue, great hot chicken and good beers too. We will be back.

Kid-friendliness: They have a good kids meal, and my somewhat picky son liked the chicken tenders and slammed the fries.“

“I got the brisket sundae and it was just the perfect dinner.“

“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.“

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

“Gyros are loaded with meat and always hot. Service is quick. Recommend highly!“

“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!!!“

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

“I’ve been to several LongHorn locations across the country, but this one truly stands out as the best. From the moment we walked in, the service was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and absolutely 10/10. The steak was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection, easily the best I’ve ever had at LongHorn. The fire-grilled corn was also incredible—packed with flavor and the perfect side.

I brought my wife here for our anniversary, and the entire experience made the evening unforgettable. We enjoyed it so much that I’ve decided this will be our annual anniversary tradition. I can’t recommend this location enough—it’s the gold standard for what a great dining experience should be.“

“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“

“We had our first visit to Hickory House Reynoldsburg tonight and the dinner was phenomenal! We ordered the Barbecue Platter and the pork, ribs and chicken were all fantastically seasoned. And the Mac and cheese-what is this magic?!? That may be the best Mac and cheese I have ever tasted!!! We loved our dinner so much we ordered a whole other platter to go. Kelly was our server and she explained the menu options very well which made ordering simple and easy. She was also so enjoyable to chat with. All in all, fabulous food and fantastic service. We will definitely be back!“

“I've never been to this one before. Food was very good. I asked them to reheat the soup since I like it piping hot, and it was not a problem at all. They were getting busy, so the server didn't come back to our table as much, but she was very attentive when she did!“

“Had family in from out of town and they loved this place. I had never been before but most definitely will be going back!! Great atmosphere, clean and the staff was very nice. would recommend for sure!!!“

“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.“

“Happened upon this restaurant from a video my son saw on tiktok about “hidden gems”. Hidden gem couldn’t be more appropriate! Being part Hawaiian, I’ve struggled to find good Hawaiian bbq outside of Hawaii or Florida. This place is amazing and in Ohio! I ordered the bbq combination platter. The bbq short ribs and bbq chicken were delicious! Authentic Hawaiian bbq flavor! The Mac salad, which of course is a staple in Hawaiian bbq cuisine was pretty spot on! My son had the chicken katsu and he loved it! Quiet atmosphere and wasn’t busy. Will definitely be coming back!

Vegetarian options: Fried tofu, veggie spring rolls, veggie dumplings.

Parking: Parking lot was large. Restaurant shared parking lot with several other businesses in the strip.“

“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 ❤️“

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

“for a bar that, by its name, has only been open 2 months, the aesthetic is perfect. Very appropriatly sized for its location and designed perfectly to fit its area inside and out. This bar does tupac and other late 80s and 90s rap, hip hop and r&b.
This best thing about this place was its bartender BB. From knowing all their beers, they do not have any drafts its all bottles, and knowing all the correct measures and ingredients for mixed drinks, Ms. BB was a phenomenal host and enjoyable personal to speak too.
I would like to see this place at peak capacity or their best nights. I think it should preform well! :)“

“I found Ron's BBQ on Google. After several price checks found Ron to be the fairest price. Ron's BBQ provided 20 slabs of ribs for our daughter's baby shower. Ron made the process very easy with different payment options. Customer service was great, they were attentive, kind and professional, giving us multiple pricing quotes. As far as reviews, I can't say there are many nor were they descriptive. I didn't see pictures on Google either. We were also unable to do a taste test, so we went into a contract on blind faith. I definitely recommend Ron for your catering needs. Not only is the food delicious but it was smoked to perfection. The rub didn't overpower the taste, the sauce provided complimented the ribs and you could taste and enjoy the meat. And did I mention so tender, it felt like cutting into butter. Everyone at the party was in agreement with the taste and overall look of the food. Unfortunately, the ribs were a really big hit and I didn't get a picture either 😞. I was too busy answering questions about Ron's BBQ and listening to praises of how delicious they were. If you don't feel like slaving over the stove or grill, remember Ron, you won't regret it.“

“Food was made very fast. Workers are nice and polite but the food was a bit dry than usual. Usually better but overall it was good

Parking: Theirs plenty of parking sports in the public garage so u don’t have to worry about getting towed“

“Our bartender & server Justin was awesome. Fast, friendly & everything was served as ordered. This was our first time at this location. We had dinner at the bar. We ordered the ribeye Pittsburgh style medium rare blackened. It was cooked perfect. Best blackened steak ever. Their chief knows what they are doing. Fresh salad, everything was perfect. We eat at Outback, Firebird Grill, BJ's but this chief's cooking blew them away. We will definitely be back. Thank you!!“

“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.“

“Miss Kay's is the best in the city right now. She makes it fresh to order & gives you your money's worth. I'm done with all these other dusty spots. it's only Miss Kay's for this family ♥️♥️✊🏾“

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

“I ordered the family 10 whole wings, 5 piece fish, fries, Mac n cheese, and greens. Best food I've had in a long time I called and spoke to the restaurant but the word needs out about this place it was amazing!!!“

“Food is great. I ordered a burger with Cajun Fries. I had it delivered and ordered through the website

My only complaint is that the burger comes with Mustard but on the site it doesn't say that or give an option to not have it on there. I thought it was a mistake the first time I ordered from here, but it was on there when I ordered this time too.“
