16 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Toledo

“If only Detroit had a BBQ restaurant as good as this one. I've tried a handful of items but always go back to the pulled pork platter, the pork being properly smoked low and slow with a nice bark on it. The sauces are also very tasty, not overpowering the meat (and thankfully, not out of a bottle like at the chain restaurants). The sides are also quite good; the macaroni and cheese is a nice pile of artery-clogging goodness! Can't go wrong here. We always stop in when visiting the Toledo Zoo.“

“This place is amazing. Had never had it before. They were at my work today and let me tell you what. Talk about a killer lunch. I had the ribs with baked beans and Mac and cheese. Ribs are bomb. The hot sauce that you can get on them, definitely wanna get that. Mac and cheese was very cheesy and wasn’t dry like others. I can’t wait to try more!“

“TLDR: great food and drinks and decent atmosphere(:Granted we were sitting at the bar so service was quick for us pretty much automatically. Their animal style fries are super yummy, coming from a Cali native, they were WAAAAY better than In-n-Out's trash fries lolHad 2 shots: frosted animal cracker(yum!) and Pen*s Shot or something like that, which was also really good.Atmosphere was alright. Some cover band and a good amount of middle aged people maybe 40s and up. Hilarious enough one side was fuuull of clearly the older generation and then the other side was all 20s and 30 year olds haha. For a Friday night it was pretty mellow but I was also only there til like 1030. Most definitely will be back(: ?“

“The guys at the Port of Toledo recommend this little place with a drive through and a walk up window that was directly on my route to the port. The gentleman who waited on me said their rib sammich was "fall off the bone" tender.....he told the truth. The onion rings were the bomb as well as the deep fried mushrooms. YUM.....!!!!“

“Love the food here. Laura and her crew at the central Ave store are amazing !!!“

“My husband and I are regulars at Tougen! We absolutely love the food, especially the sushi! The owner John is always all about his customers! This is a hidden gem that more people need to know about!!“

“My fiancé and I ate here tonight. The food was good however we ordered the cheese fries and they came out with just cheese on them when the menu described bacon on it. I asked our waiter Seth and he said it would be 50 cents for a cup of bacon bits when we have gotten it before. My fiance got the New York strip and like any other time our server has him cut into it he did not. He didn’t have the best attitude and we ate our dinner with empty dishes on the table so there wasn’t much room. Dessert wasn’t mentioned after we were done. We’ve been to this location a few times and never had an issue but tonight was a little disappointing. I would say the food was great but the service could have been better“

“Good food nice atmosphere“

“I love the Bay good service“

“Enjoyed our lunch! I ordered the cheesy mushrooms, delicious! I then ordered the parmasean crusted chicken, which did not disappoint 😋, My husband got the cheeseburger, which was also tasty and done to his liking. Ohhh, and let's not forget the baked potato soup was scrumptious! And to wash it all down, drink one of their refreshing mango! 🍹“

“I haven’t been here in a few years because I felt like they had fallen off a bit but this is my 2nd time getting the mixed meat salad and they did not disappoint!! Salad is delicious, fresh and they don’t skimp on ingredients. I also was running late for work and they got my order together quickly! Don’t know if they have new owners, a new cook or what but they are back to my go to for salads!“

“I highly recommend it’s better then the last owners ipy“
