We were comped a free peach cobbler since it was our first time in! Literally everything from the sampler was delicious, meats and sides! Would definitely come back again if we're in the area!“

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

“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.“

“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“

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

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

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

“I have been in the Columbus area for about 16 years and had not been to a decent BBQ place here. I saw a fb post about Hank's so my wife & I tried it out! And... it was AMAZING!!! She had the Hank's Way brisket sandwich with fries. Now, let me first say, she is not into BBQ like I am but, she LOVED the sandwich!!! The white bbq sauce was her favorite! 20 out of 10 stars she said!!
Now I got the 2 meat plate (I got brisket & pulled chicken) with green beans & coleslaw. One of my favorite things in the world was when my Grandmaw Lucille made her coleslaw. It was perfection every time! I had never had another coleslaw that was banging like hers. But now I have! The coleslaw was absolutely delicious!! LOVED IT!!! The green beans were good but they had an Asian flare to me that didn't go well with the meats. I did bring them home and had them for lunch the next day and they were good but not my favorite.
Now, the pulled chicken... Some pieces were great, some pieces just tasted like how lighter fluid smells. So I think at our next visit I will steer clear of that. Now, the brisket, AMAZING!! Best piece of meat I have EVER HAD!!! DELICIOUS!!! I also enjoyed the hank's BBQ sauce & the spicy one!
(Side not; the sodas were a little high priced to me & they did not taste very good. Like they had too much carbonation & not enough syrup. We both ended up with waters.)
I know that this review probably seems off balance with me giving 5 stars but having things that I didn't like. That is because for me, everything that I didn't care for was redeemed by the coleslaw, brisket & the staff was fantastic! We will definitely be going back & I will get new sides to try!“

“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.“

“Great pizza! Friendly service! I highly recommend the bbq chicken pizza!“

“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!“

“First time my wife and have been able to eat here due to road closures. I will have to say that the experience was amazing. The food was top notch. We walked in and was seated immediately our waitress was busy so it took a few minutes to order drinks and appetizer however that was the only wait there was. Our appetizer came out before we realized it and was delicious. When our food arrived it looked amazing and was piping hot. The waitress was on point the entire time. Will definitely be back to eat again!!!“

“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!“

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

“Braised Beef Noodle Soup is the best thing I’ve ever had. So flavorful and rich, meat so tender melts in your mouth. The noodles are out of this world. Dreaming of when I get to eat this again! Added plus is the Milk Tea and Mochi Donuts. 😋“

“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!“

“Wife and I went here with a couple of friends on a Saturday night. Server Zoe arrived at our table less than 2 minutes after we were seated and took our beverage order. We ordered our dinners when she returned with our drinks. About 15 minutes later dinners arrived exactly as ordered. Steaks were delicious, juicy and at the correct state of doneness. Seafood was also prepared deliciously. Great service and excellent food.“

“We had an amazing experience! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service made the evening even better. A special thank you to Adam for being so attentive, friendly, and professional. He made sure everything was perfect and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and made my boyfriend’s birthday even better by surprising him with happy birthday song and congratulations! We’ll definitely be coming back!“
