18 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Toledo

“The music experience and chicken chuncks“

“Being from the south we came and expected to be unimpressed but the food is phenomenal!! Definitely try the Mac & cheese top notch!!! We had the ribs, the brisket, chicken and pulled pork and nothing disappointed us. The coleslaw was creamy full of flavor and like most southern favs.“

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

“For our son’s graduation, we wanted to have BBQ but I did not want the traditional franchises. I *luckily* came across Big O’s and the reviews were awesome! He was excellent at getting back to us quickly with any questions/concerns. He was well within our budget and the food was so good! The bbq was perfect, the meat was smoked to perfection, very juicy and full of flavors! The Mac n cheese (my fav) was phenomenal! I will absolutely recommend Big O’s for any size event! ( ours was a smaller party) We appreciated everything they did and will continue doing business with them for our events!!! 10/10 absolutely recommend!!!!“

“This Is It was exactly what my spirit needed today. The food was hot, seasoned beautifully, and delicious! The service was friendly, the portions were perfect, and the whole experience felt like care on a plate. I’m officially obsessed highly recommend!“

“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.....!!!!“

“Absolutely the most delicious steaks in town. Also the best prices in town. J. Alexanders comes second to this place. The only complaint I have is that we arrived with two couples and the music was so loud, they refused to stay so my girlfriend and I ate alone. It is true that the music is far too loud to the point that you cannot hear yourself speak to your date. You have to shout. I don['t know if the owner is aware of this as I don't see him there all the time.“

“Good food nice atmosphere“

“What a difference a location can make!

After having a disappointing experience at the Temperance location the day before, my husband and I decided to give Smokehouse 419 in Toledo a try before writing off the restaurant altogether. I'm SO glad we did!

We intentionally ordered the same OMG Burger and smoked wings so we could compare the two experiences. At the other location, our OMG Burger had been missing the mushrooms and grilled onions. At Smokehouse 419, we didn't give any special instructions or mention the previous problem—we simply ordered the burger as listed on the menu.

It came out EXACTLY as it was supposed to! The mushrooms and grilled onions were there, and the burger was delicious.

Then came the smoked wings, and WOW. What a difference! They were perfectly cooked, nicely seasoned and so much better than the wings we had received the previous day. This was the experience we had expected from a smokehouse.

Our waitress, Brittney, also deserves recognition. She was pleasant, welcoming and helped make the entire experience enjoyable from beginning to end.

We almost didn't try another location after our first experience, but Smokehouse 419 completely changed our minds. I'm actually surprised to see this location rated lower than the Temperance location on Google because our experience was the complete opposite. Based on the food, preparation and service we received, Smokehouse 419 deserves a higher rating.

Thank you, Brittney and Smokehouse 419, for giving us the experience we were hoping for. We will definitely choose this location when we return!“

“Wife is in acute post care and wants to have a steak with baked potato. I'm pretty good with the grill but I've had take out from Longhorn Steak and know they are pretty good with it so I had them do it. Make sure that you order condiments. Did have plasticware but not even a salt or pepper tab. 😮‍💨“

“I've only had the fireballs so far but they were really good.“

“I love the gyro's here. I've tried lamb gyro's all over the city and they have the best one's. They are very big for the price compared to most other places too. I just recently tried the onion rings and they were excellent too and I don't even like onions lol.“

“I love the Bay good service“

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