24 Best Barbeque Restaurants near New Albany

“Came in for a late lunch and was blown away by the service. I had never been before and was given several samples to try to help make a decision on sides. Service was quick, food came out immediately, tasted great, and was well worth the price for the quality. Would definitely be back, especially to this location!“

“First time here and I can say I will be back! Absolutely amazing food! The waiter rocked it out, can tell he actually genuinely loves his job and it shows! Regardless if you live in Lancaster or not make the drive!“

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

“WOW. We will be back! We ordered the Mother load and had more than enough food for everyone. And very tasty! Highly recommend.“

“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. ✌️“

“We love going to Smokey Bones Reynoldsburg. Deanna takes great care of us and the food is always great and the staff very friendly.“

“Excellent BBQ. Especially loved the brisket and baked beans (lots of brisket in there)“

“My only problem is I can’t eat there every day. Iill have to wait for the weekend. I love your food and service. Thank you for being Soul Food back to Columbus…..“

“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.“

“She was very helpful and pleasant“

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

“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.“

“Had the bbq chicken, chicken pho and shared the spam musubi. My sister had the bbq short ribs. The food was on point. Lots of flavors and great portions! Highly recommended. It's in the hidden Plaza. Don't let the area discourage you. They also have boba drinks. Very nice family own place.

The owners said they will be adding sushi to their menu soon. They have over 10yrs experience in sushi too! How exciting!“

“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!!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“We've gone to The Barn for drinks, but this was our first time for dinner, celebrating our anniversary. The calamari was delicious, as was the roasted chicken, and the wine was lovely. We went a little earlier in the evening when there were not too many people, and it made for the perfect ambience. Our server was super personable and attentive, as well. Will definitely be coming back, especially for special occasions!“

“great drinks and customer service“

“Always have a great experience here and this has become THE local place I often recommend to friends! Love the history, the down to earth atmosphere, friendly staff, and the menu options - a delicious variety for sure! Kelly is always so great - her helpful spirit and fun personality make our experience extra special! ♥️“

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

“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.“
