42 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Whitehall

“Truly, Happy Pizza never disappoints! We’ve been going there for a while, and everything is always so good. The chili cheese fries are amazing, the wings are always flavorful, and the calzones are some of our favorites.
They always get our order right, the place is clean, and the food is consistently fresh and delicious. One thing I really appreciate is that they always make sure to include condiments and silverware without us even asking—forks, spoons, everything. A lot of places don’t even do that anymore, and it really makes a difference.
You can tell they care about their customers. Definitely one of our go-to spots. Highly recommend!“

“The beef brisket and potato chips are amazing. We liked the smoky bbq sauce. We got a “to go package” that included perfect size rolls for a sandwich. Friendly, helpful staff too!“

“We ordered smoke out for my son’s graduation party. Everyone loved the food, especially the wings! They did a great job with the delivery and set up. Thank you so much!“

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

“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).“

“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.“

“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“

“The best bbq I've had. Her sides are so good!! She is so sweet and friendly. We go whenever we want some great bbq foods, the best part I don't have to fire up the grill, I'm partial to the brats, so good!“

“First time here and I can say I will be back! Absolutely amazing food! The waiter rocked it out, can tell he actually genuinely loves his job and it shows! Regardless if you live in Lancaster or not make the drive!“

“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!!“

“Quick and authentic. Consome’ dipping broth was good. Lime was fresh. Green sauce was perfect.“

“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.“

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

“Brisket by far is my favorite, their fries are outstanding as well. Try and save room for the peach cobbler, it is the best bar none. We normally pack a cooler with ice packs to take the cobbler home if we can't eat in store. It heats up very well in a microwave. Do not miss it.“

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

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

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

“** edit** 1- Star review
Drove back because they gave us a brisket portion for a 1-Meat platter when we ordered a 2-meat platter. Manger said he was going to give us extra for the mistake and for us having to drive back to the restaurant, but when we got there he seemed to have forgotten that he said he would give us 2 portions for the mistake. Just make the drive to the Hank’s on US-42 to save the trouble and get the correct portion size.

Manager definitely forgot he said he would give us an extra portion since we had to make the drive back for their mistake.

Mishap happened with my ToGo order and they made it right immediately. Thank you! Great service, great manager“

“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.“

“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…..“

“Gyros are loaded with meat and always hot. Service is quick. Recommend highly!“

“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“

“My wife and I ate at the Hickory House today. The food was outstanding and so was the service!! Emma was our waitress. She was extremely personable, informative, and was just an awesome waitress!!“

“My favorite place, steak is seasoned well. Also cooked right. Spinach dip and French onion soup are a must try in my opinion. The stuffed mushrooms are so good but roo expensive in my opinion. Also a must try is the brussel sprouts. Even if you think you don't like them try these ones they have a honey glaze that's (chef's kiss lol)“

“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!!!“

“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.“

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

“The Barn is our preferred location for celebratory dinners or simply enjoying a relaxing evening with a bourbon. The food is consistently excellent, the staff is incredibly welcoming and friendly, and we've always had a fantastic overall experience there. The prime rib is our favorite. Super tender and loads of flavor!“

“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.“

“Istg they have the most flavorful food I've had anywhere and thats not an exaggeration. The whiting, hush puppies and fries. Like what seasoning is put on those fries??? Hands down the best spot to eat for fair prices and great tunes. Shout out to all 4 Chefs in the kitchen. **I dont drink...I KNOW good food**“

“Had a wonderful experience at LongHorn Steakhouse! Our server, Lauren V., was exceptional—kind, attentive, and very professional. I was amazed to learn it was her first day on the floor. She did an outstanding job! My daughter and I truly appreciated her service and made sure to tip her well. Five stars all the way!“

“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 ♥️♥️✊🏾“
