27 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Powell

“Established customer since first time trying City BBQ back in 2006. Great quality which didn't chance from first time trying it 20 years ago. Cool place to dine in, but most of the times we get a carryout order for a family feast. Must try all of theirs BBQ sauces. The ribs are always amazing! You can never go wrong with the brisket. But I don't think people value their pulled pork enough. It is very tasty, always tender and very flavorful. Smoked chicken is great. They have new jalapeno sausages. Loved it! If you have a big party. Consider getting the whole pork shoulder. That's the full 8 lb cut they use for the pulled pork. Sometimes you need to preorder it ahead of time.
Unfortunately, last time when we decided to have City BBQ. When I came down to place my order, they were out of ribs! I was a little upset, but instead got more brisket and a lot of pulled pork to compensate for the ribs.“

“I’ve been excitedly waiting for this location to open since I work right down the road. Stopped by for lunch today and ordered my usual- half slab of ribs, fries and green beans. Plus a couple bottles of my favorite sauce of all time, Sweet City. Delicious as always. The ribs seemed even meatier than I’m used to at the other locations I frequent. Lemonade was great too.“

“10 out of 10. Food and staff were both fantastic. Highly recommend“

“Don and I really enjoyed our meal and Lauren did an EXCELLENT JOB at her job answering my questions! Keep up the great job! I lover my dessert! :-) K“

“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“

“First time at a City Barbecue- we’re from Montana but Southern roots: we had the “Not A Sloppy Joe “ sandwich for lunch- delicious!! Best hush puppies I’ve had in South Carolina, and my only regret is that this chain isn’t out west…yet!“

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

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

“The staff in this restaurant is outstanding. We had just walked out of a bad dining experience. I ordered, then my wife ordered a side I missed on the menu. I said to her quietly I wish I had ordered that..she said she would share with me. When I picked up my food, they had added a free second side because they overheard me talking with my wife. They were friendly and kind. We also arrived near closing, so they had every reason to hurry us along, but they didn’t. Great experience. We will be back.“

“Ok, the brisket I received wasn't just fork tender. It falls apart with a stern glance! It was apparently tenderized with a loving embrace. Patted gently. Sliced with care, and cradled to the tray. Seasoned, smokey perfection. I also got the potato salad. Excellent. Clearly made in house, nothing GFS here. Fresh green beans. Crisp. Good. If they can do this even twice out of five visits they may just be the best BBQ in this city.“

“Tennessee BBQ Pit catered a party I attended last night and it was phenomenal. Best BBQ since I traveled with a rib team. Wings were the best, Brisket was melt in your mouth, and the shredded chicken was juicy. If you've never had before, you will never go back to another BBQ pit again.“

“My fiancé and I chose Smoked Lick BBQ for our August 2026 wedding. We have sampled the menu over the past few visits and discovered our go-to favorites. The communication has been phenomenal and I look forward to you helping us celebrate our special day!“

“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!“

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

“I had Hank's Texas BBQ cater a wedding shower and couldn't have been more pleased! The food and service was fantastic and the price reasonable!!! Thanks Jess for helping me to decide on the right amount of food to feed my big party with some leftover too! I highly recommend Hank's ... Thank you for making our day more perfect!!!“

“I just had an amazing meal at Er Ge BBQ Hotpot Buffet! I love that the price includes everything, hotpot, BBQ grill, skewers, appetizers, and soft drinks. So many fresh options, lots of meats, seafood, veggies, and sauces to mix your own flavor. It’s super fun to cook at the table with friends, and you definitely won’t leave hungry. Highly recommend if you love hotpot and Korean-style BBQ in one place!“

“Great authentic Chinese cuisine. 👌 a wide variety of offerings, the beef rib skewers were delicious, as were the pan seared pot stickers.

Brought my wife here for a meal to make her feel better, as she was feeling a little under the weather, and I think it really did the trick. She was very happy and pleased with the meal. She had the braised beef noodle soup.

I had the Dan Dan hand stretched noodles, they were quite delicious and satisfying for a spice craving.

The service was great, and they had Boba tea available from the next-door Boba shop.

We'll definitely be back.“

“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“

“I did not eat but just a tourist passing through this is such a cool place. Middle of Ohio and it’s got sand and volleyball courts. Karaoke night and they can actually sing, unlike my home town. People were pleasant. Great night life. Photo shows no people because they were all at the bar!“
