“The food is great. The hot mess fries with queso corn pulled pork and fries was amazing. The brisket is also some of the best brisket I have had in Cincinnati. We had an issue with the food and the man behind the counter was so incredibly kind and fixed the mistake. The staff is so kind and genuine whenever we have been.“

“Our whole family loves City BBQ! Even my pickiest eaters. Everything is scrumptious, the turkey, cornbread, sausage , chicken....🤤. But of all things, do not sleep on their desserts, the chocolate cake is often sold out, for good reason.
Service is always genuine, polite and fast. The Highland Heights location hosts fund raisers regularly for community schools, programs, fire departments, etc., they work hard to give back.
Get the app and you'll always have a deal in your pocket, free desserts, five dollars off.“

“I have been staying at The Phelps for business. I frequently get in late, and quite frankly do not feel like going out. The Phelps Bar is the perfect solution. I have been staying at The Phelps Hotel on and off for roughly a month so far. I have had most of their menu items and have yet to have one that has not been excellent. They recently changed their food and drink menu, so there are many new items to try. They have an outstanding "Signature Drink" Menu. My favorite is the Fig & Rosemary Old Fashioned that is hands down the very best Old Fashioned I have had anywhere, and that includes The Greenbrier Resort. The staff are all amazing and help to make the experience even better. My hat is off to Mark (I think he is the manager), Kat and Tynisa who run the bar, and David the cook. If you find yourself in the Downtown Cincinnati area close to the stadiums, then you really should try The Phelps Bar. You will not be disappointed.“

“Food is really good pairings well done with the beers...LAMB RIBS!!! OMG..A MUST HAVE!!“

“My windows were half down, and Tyler Childers was making a ruckus through my speakers, when the smell of BBQ washed through my car and across my face.

I had just finished a round of crisp, evening, fall golf in Kenton County. The traffic home to Bellevue took longer than usual because 471 North was shut down from the fire under the bridge over Halloween night. I detoured to Route 9 off of I275, heading into the south end of Newport. By the time I was turning onto Monmouth street, the last bit of daylight was slipping away. Street lights were just being triggered from the evening shadows to light up the streets for traffic and pedestrians.

As I passed Webb’s, that aroma of fresh BBQ resonated with me more than the radio waves transmitting Tyler. I immediately pulled over, parking on 9th, right out front of the old Newport establishment. I have wanted to visit Webbs for a long time, but they are opened limited days/hours. So i always forget that they are an option. Luckily the traffic patterns brought me by while they were open! I was going to get some carryout. And a lot of it.

Webbs is in a space at 115 E. 9th Street that used to house another iconic Newport restaurant called Detroit Joes. I used to go there decades ago with my father for wings and ribs. But I hadn’t been into the building since Webbs took over. It brought back warm memories stepping into a familiar space.

Walking in the door I was greeted with friendly, smiling faces. There were a handful of regulars sitting at the bar enjoying cold beers and hot supper while making small talk with each other and with the owners. The walls were covered in old signs and handwritten signatures of hundreds of previous patrons. My order was taken and delivered promptly. It was 6 Smoked Wings, a Half Rack of Ribs, a Pulled Pork Sandwich, Mac n Chz, and Baked Beans. The prices were more than reasonable. And the serving sizes were more than generous.

Im usually not a “Baked Beans guy”. But I do remember having Webbs Beans at a catered event some years ago and really liking them. My memory didn’t let me down this time. Their Baked Beans are sweet, spicy, and delicious. They have chunks of peaches and peppers just like I remembered them. There is almost a hint of Stuffed Bell Pepper taste that makes them unique and memorable. The Mac n Chz gave me all of the fall comfort that I was looking for. It was made with real cheese and real flavor. The cheese was thick and stuck stubbornly to the elbow macaroni when prying out each bite with my fork. The Smoked Wings were perfectly smokey with a wonderful texture. They were full of flavor and did not need a sauce. The Ribs were falling off the bone and fantastic. They really were some of the best Ribs that I’ve had in the NKY/Cincy area. I loved dipping them into the zesty vinegar sauce. If you like vinegar sauces, this one will deliver!! It’s really hard to find a good sauce like this in the area. I also enjoyed this sauce on the Pulled Pork Sandwich. The pulled pork soaked up that sauce and complimented the smoky flavor extremely well. The Hickory BBQ sauce was a winner too. It had a lot of sweet & tangy flavor. Too many BBQ joints accompany their dishes with tired and flavorless sauce options. I was excited to see that Webbs puts the same effort into their sauces as they do their smoked meats. I want to emphasize that none of their dishes actually need a sauce. Everything is already packed full of flavor. But if you are a sauce person, like me, then your taste buds will be rewarded. I tried both sauces on all the dishes. They both complimented all the dishes perfectly. That vinegar sauce was the real winner for me though! There is a lot more I want to try from Webbs. But I would highly recommend anything from the order that I have just highlighted in this review. My favorite dish would probably be the Smoked Ribs with the vinegar sauce! Enjoy!“

“First visit today - I ordered 2 full slabs, the fried cabbage, jalapeño corn bread stuffing, and potato salad sides, all of which perfectly compliment the smoke on those ribs. Also got to sample a new menu item - jerk pork burnt ends. Absolutely fantastic! The flavor of that jerk sauce will give you chills. Definitely coming back to try everything (yes, everything) else. Dine in or carry-out - just go get some!!“

“My daughter and mine first time. Nick was sensational. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Food was great and timely. We definitely will be back. Thanks for a great experience“

“Best bbq I’ve ever had. Incredible! Delicious sides too.“

“Very friendly always. The best burger I've had in years, well seasoned, juicy, cooked perfect. I couldn't finish the burger and had the rest for breakfast and it was still awesome. My son had wings and finished them down to the bone. Good good food ?“

“My food was hot and amazing! The best thing is they have non pork options. WE do BBQ for the win!“

“Best steak burgers IN THE WORLD!!!💪“

“Food was great, their brussels spouts are just incredible and their take on fries is really unique and delicious.Because of how loud and echoey the Element Eatery is, it was hard to understand the person at the counter, and the chairs SUCK. Parking is also really weird.“

“I stumbled upon this place by accident. I was waiting to get food at an oh their place and smelled their bbq. I thought $8 was responsible for their rib tips. They gave good flavor however I dislike the way they are reheated because some of the pieces became burnt after he reheated them. Overall I would go back.“

“Amazingggggg food!! Best pulled pork, baked beans and jalapeño cornbread I’ve eaten!“

“I tried this place in 2021 at the Hamilton county fair and when I tell you I left the fair and went to the ATM and paid to get back in the fair omg this place has been on my mind every single day since . I will definitely be there today, I could not be more happy to have found them.They deserve 10-100 stars. My opinion“

“My family tried Sago for my Father’s Day dinner and we couldn’t have been more pleased. It is a small space so either get there early or be patient and grab a drink or two at one of the neighboring bars. I got the Nasi Lemak with beef rendang. Such wonderful, unique flavors! The flavor/texture combinations are outstanding and create a delicious meal. My wife got the BBQ pork noodles. Her meal looked very good and she said she was sad when it was over. Two full meals + three drinks, including a mango boba and Malaysian tea was $46, including tip. Very reasonable! We will definitely be back.“

“Me and the family stopped in as we havent had Mongolian in a while as they've all closed down around us. 10000/10 would recommend this place. I never knew egg drop soup was a thing, and this restaurant turned me into a fan!! The staff was awsome wish I could have that staff in many other restaurants we go to!! Even our picky kids enjoys the experience and food as well. We will return again soon.“

“Great place. Love to frequent.“

“The bbq food was so delicious! The homemade bbq sauces were so tasty! The baked beans were delicious too! Also, the pretzels were some of the best I’ve ever had (especially with the garlic seasoning added)!“

“Great place for all you can eat korean bbq and hot pot! I got the AYCE hot pot option with my soup base being the special korean broth, which was mild in seasoning but it was alright. For meats, we gor brisket, rib eye and beef tongue, and they cooked pretty quickly in our soups. There was a great selection of apetizers, sides, ans sauces, so take advantage of those. This was a solid place to try or satisfy your cravings for either kbbq or hotpot.“

“The food is delicious and the staff are very friendly and excellent at their job!“

“Ribs and green are delicious!!!!“

“Yummy food as always! Can never get past the lamb gyros. And the baklava….“

“I'm from Florida and found my favorite restaurant in Cincinnati! Amazing home cooked southern food!! Thank you for taking me back home while I enjoyed your Lamb chops dinner!!! I will definitely be back for the Salmon and Red Snapper!!!“

“The food was tasty and the portion generous. I had a salad with grilled chicken. I asked for no onions and it was made like that.

I used to go to several City Barbecue locations when I lived south of Dayton. I live northeast of Cincinnati OH and this one is probably the closet to me.

One thing I miss is that during the Covid-19 with the government restrictions, many things changed and City Barbecue is more restrictive on their garnishes. I diss the pickle jars that was a favorite thing doe me. I don’t remember what else they offered as garnishes but it seems forever gone.“

“I went into City Barbeque for the first time today and had a 10/10 experience. The staff there had great recommendations and when I was uncertain about the sides, gave me a sample. They were kind and authentic, it reminded me of being home in Tennessee. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for good food and a taste of southern hospitality.“

“Hands down best experience I have ever had a Texas Roadhouse or any other restaurant! Jerry is hands down the best waiter I’ve ever had! He went above and beyond to make sure we never had a half empty glass, rolls were always on the table. Food was 10/10! Best Texas Roadhouse in the country! Highly recommended Jerry!“

“First time at this restaurant. It's located in a very nice neighborhood. They have so much sports memorabilia throughout the restaurant. OMG this place is so big I couldn't believe it. The straws/chips were so so good. I forgot to take a photo. I was told that the wedge salad was delicious and the bacon was amazing. I really enjoyed the sandwich and the bun was nice and warm with butter on it. Our server Russ was very very good.“
