43 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Whitehall

“Atmosphere has one four top table and one bench to sit at. If that is important, this might not be the place. 100% of my orders are walk in orders. In seven years of visits, I have not been disappointed in my menu choices at different times of the day. Cashiers have pleasant, even with multiple people in line, and on the phone.“

“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.“

“Best Brisket Pastrami Ruben EVER!“

“Restaurant review: SLAB in Reynoldsburg. I had the Rib sandwich with a slice of Havarti cheese. I did ask for the slaw on the side to make sure I liked it. Jenny had the grilled cheese. We both got the fries. I also got a side of the slab sauce. I give it an overall 4.6 out of 5. The rib sandwich had a lot of meat on it and a lot if sauce. Sauce was good. Grilled cheese bread was really nicly grilled. The fries were amazing!!!! Nice bar, clean restroom. I took off points because they did say the sauce was Sweet Baby Rays(which I do like) and not homemade( the server was not 100% sure about that).“

“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“

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

“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!!“

“Came in for a late lunch and was blown away by the service. I had never been before and was given several samples to try to help make a decision on sides. Service was quick, food came out immediately, tasted great, and was well worth the price for the quality. Would definitely be back, especially to this location!“

“It was my first time in Ohio and read about this place. Stopped in and had an amazing conversation with the owners. They were unfortunately closed due to technical issues but offered me a free Sample platter for my troubles. It was one the sweetest acts of kindness I’ve experienced in so long. The real selling point was the food though. The brisket was juicy and flavorful and the greens were the best I’ve ever had. Looking forward to coming back and trying the a jerk chicken.“

“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,“

“We love going to Smokey Bones Reynoldsburg. Deanna takes great care of us and the food is always great and the staff very friendly.“

“Best Jerk chicken! Went back tonight for first time in 10 years and still AMAZING 👏 🤤“

“I don't know what I was expecting, but this wasn't it. Extremely crowded. The floor was covered in spilled drinks. Nowhere to sit or put a coat. The line at the bar was long. The music was so loud we couldn't hear anyone. There were three stalls in the women's room - one had no door at all, and one had a door that wouldn't close. You can't watch anyone ride the bull as it is hidden in the back corner. This place is a waste of time.“

“Excellent BBQ. Especially loved the brisket and baked beans (lots of brisket in there)“

“My only problem is I can’t eat there every day. Iill have to wait for the weekend. I love your food and service. Thank you for being Soul Food back to Columbus…..“

“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!!!“

“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“

“Always have a great experience here and this has become THE local place I often recommend to friends! Love the history, the down to earth atmosphere, friendly staff, and the menu options - a delicious variety for sure! Kelly is always so great - her helpful spirit and fun personality make our experience extra special! ♥️“

“Went there with a friend on a Tuesday night. The place was busy - full house. My filet was perfect, medium rare, and the salads fresh. Our waiter was very attentive and it all made for a great experience. Always delicious when I've gone to this location.“

“Great place for carry out or delivery. I went and picked up our order. It was packaged very well. You could tell cared about their food.

We ordered Hawaiian Chicken BBQ, Pho Soup with Beef Broth and Beef Meatballs, Pork & Shrimp fried roll, Lotus roll and Summer roll. We were very pleased & the taste and flavor exceeded our expectations.

We will return to order again.“

“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 ❤️“

“Had family in from out of town and they loved this place. I had never been before but most definitely will be going back!! Great atmosphere, clean and the staff was very nice. would recommend for sure!!!“

“I went there twice, once with a friend and the second time again with the same friend and my brother-in-law and both experiences were great. They have amazing food. I don’t usually eat much meat, but I tried their lamb chops and they were delicious with every bite, a great way to get some vitamin B12. We also had asparagus and cheesy kale, and both were very tasty and felt like healthy options.

It is a bit expensive, but it’s definitely worth spending that kind of money once in a while for such delicacies. I would highly recommend people dine there. Both times, the waiters were super friendly, knowledgeable, respectful, and happy to answer any questions.“

“Wanted a Clevelander at the Heritage Fest but they ran out of Hotdogs and replaced it with a polish sausage. Needless to say…. It was spectacular. I will be driving to Ace Hardware in New Albany to get another. Best Bar B Q in the 614.“

“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 .“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great selection of good food and great outdoor seating area to enjoy the weather.“

“Stopped by this great Longhorn on game day. There was a good bar. The dining room was also beautiful. Servers were friendly. WiFi was fast. There was the Buckeye game but the voice from the live game was silent.
I was not hungry, so I just ordered a cup of shrimp lobster chowder and the strawberry pecan salad. The soup was cold, so I asked for reheat. But I felt they only put it in the microwave without refilling. The strawberry pecan salad was impressive with decently sweet dressing.“

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

“Miss Kay's is the best in the city right now. She makes it fresh to order & gives you your money's worth. I'm done with all these other dusty spots. it's only Miss Kay's for this family ♥️♥️✊🏾“
