40 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Upper Arlington

“so good. so delicious!! best of the best!!!!!!“

“The service was amazing, the people are friendly. We went there because we are from Texas and miss bbq, and the brisket, chicken, links are exactly like we get back home! The prices are more than fair, and the service from Cynthia and Deante really make the experience wonderful I think it’s.“

“great ribs and sauce. definitely would recommend and will be coming back. thank you“

“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.“

“An amazing restaurant. We had the Hot Pot lunch menu. I highly recommend. A truly surprising find while visiting Ohio. The Szechuan Spicy soup base was delicous. Everything served was flavorful and fresh.“

“Tried Legacy Smokehouse in Hilliard downtown last night. Food was amazing and everyone there was super nice and friendly! Had a half rack of Baby Backs, 1/2 pound of Brisket, 1/4 pound Pulled Pork, Mexican street corn and baked beans. Everything was top notch! My favorites were the brisket (got the fattier cuts and it was possibly the most tender, moist, briskett I’ve ever had), the Mexican Corn (my wife and I both loved it), and I REALLY loved their mustard bbq sauce! Ribs, beans, and pork were great too but the brisket just really stopd out! The building is super cool as well but I got my food to go. I’m a bit of a bbq snob. Locally thusfar, Ray Rays is one of my favorites I’ve had a few times but Legacy might have them beat!“

“I had the pulled pork with their EXCELLENT sweet bbq sauce and a side of their cole slaw which was also EXCELLENT!! And don't leave without trying the cornbread cobbler. You won't be disappointed. This place gets a 10 out of 10 from me.“

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

“A diamond in the rough. The current operators are 2nd generation. Food is good and service quality is what you would expect for a small family restaurant“

“the Brisket sandwich is my fave. ribs are also very good“

“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“

“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“

“We stumbled on it by accident and are happy we did!! It is under new ownership. The guy that took over had previously had a food truck down the road!! The brisket nachos are amazing!! If you love Texas BBQ, it’s the place to be!!“

“Great food!!! And wonderful people run it! Can’t wait for them to come back 😋“

“WOW. We will be back! We ordered the Mother load and had more than enough food for everyone. And very tasty! Highly recommend.“

“WE WERE I N GRIVE CITY SMOKEY BONES AND WE HAD A WAITRESS NAME HAILIE. SHE IS THE THE MOST FRIENDLIEST MOST HELPFUL PERSON . WEVE HAD HER SEVERAL TIMES . SHES AN ASSET TO THE RESTRAUNT . WE LOVE HAVING HER WAIT ON US . SHE GETS 10 STAR REVIEW“

“Driving by stopped in for a quick lunch and food was amazing and employees were nice“

“Been here twice and it looks like a lot of the reviews bringing their score down are from the first week of opening. If you give a restaurant a bad review in their first couple weeks of figuring out the quirks, shame on you!

Food has been solid...ribs are my favorite followed by smoked turkey. Sides have been great as well...bean's with burnt ends and collard greens are my favorite.

Opportunities as always - love to see the wings smoked, not fried. Noise is also something that could be softened.

Overall, super happy to have such a place close by. Congrats to the Hank's team!“

“Enjoy the food and service. Kevin is always friendly and knows how to make you forget abut the stressful day you just had,“

“Why Why Why would you guys get rid of fresh cut fries!! The new fries are not doing it AT ALL! The fresh cut fries are a big reason I come in for a quick lunch. Fries are a significant part of a persons meal. I will significantly reduce the amount of time I come in for lunch. The meats are still good and will continue to purchase for get togethers at home.“

“Food has always been consistently excellent.“

“I am visiting from Boston and just happen to spontaneously tour the Ohio Statehouse. Here, I lunched at HouseTaco which locates inside the Statehouse itself. The food is quick and fresh. Chef Zach prepared the tacos on-site with passion. They were delicious! What a hidden gem!!!“

“This was the most diabolically delicious lunch I have had in ages…. I will genuinely crave this and I am sad I don’t live closer…. There was so much flavor in every bite. You HAVE to get the green sauce, it changed my life. The people working in the truck were also super friendly. 10/10, 5 star review. This place deserves some recognition!!!“

“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!“

“I'll definitely eat here again. The food was cooked perfectly, and came out quickly. Staff were pleasant and accommodating. Don't skip this place if you want to try something a little out of the ordinary. Recommend the crab rangoon, the lumpia, chicken katsu, and the pork.“

“I have never felt compelled to leave a review until this place. Ordered the pan seared potstickers and the Dan Dan Hand Stretched Noodles. I am fortunate enough to travel around the world for my work and I can genuinely say this is the most complex and flavorful noodle dish I have ever eaten regardless of restaurant or country. The sesame paste they use in the base gives the most rich umami flavor to go with the wonderfully seasoned beef. The hand stretched noodles have truly perfect tooth to them as well giving a very hearty feel to the dish! I could not recommend this place enough! Truly the first 10/10 I have had in Columbus, Ohio.“

“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“

“Nicole, Jonah and Matt are my absolute favorites!!! amazing vibes, great service!! the best dive bar in the brewery district 🙌🏽!! Kitchen open till 1am always a plus 🤌🏽 and if you can catch Tommy he's best gem of the whole place ❤️“

“Delicious food, great service !!!!
I enjoyed the ribeye steak and shrimp. Mashed potatoes and salad with raspberry vinegar dressing.
The dragon fruit margarita was hitting !!!!
My server was courteous and attentive.
The price was right.
Love the Texas theme.“

“I don’t normally leave reviews but, had such a great time at Smokey bones that I have to, and it’s all thanks to my server Kiley, she was very tentative and kind and always made sure we were doing alright, will definitely be coming back to this location because of her, thanks again Kiley!“

“Flavourful and juicy burgers with really crispy and tasty fries. Great owner with a friendly personality. Definitely recommend popping by and giving it a try! The pricing is very competitive too.“

“Our server was a super sweet man with kind eyes and a kind heart who listens to his customers and is funny with a side of sarcasm. Strong in sports talk but lacks diversity when it comes to geopolitical conversation. Needs more world experience and may need improvement on his knowledge of the local area. Always ball ready.

The food is solid too.“

“Place was nice, clean, was greeted promptly , sat promptly , food and service overall was great, steaks were cooked as ordered , my one complaint is table sizing , the tables are bit small to fit a larger family , it was my birthday dinner and had me, my boyfriend, my parents and siblings and we barely could for drinks, bread, appetizers , salads and main dishes on the table without running out of room or being elbow to elbow .“

“I love their bone in ribeye !!! Service is pretty good! Food is good and it’s not going to break the bank like these other steakhouses, always fresh and hot… nothing to complain about ever, we go once a month, me and my daughter always love it so thank you very much.“

“food was very good...service is awful....and the pit for 2-3 did not have nearly the amount shown in the photos.“
