9 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Youngstown

“We hired Youngstown BBQ to cater our wedding this past Saturday. We made the right choice. The one thing people will remember from a wedding is food- and that’s all we got compliments on! From the grazing table to the dinner. It was perfect. Jerry and his team just really were professional and served quickly. 🩷 if you want to break away from the normal “wedding food” please hire Youngstown BBQ. You will not regret it.“

“Excellent food, fresh, Hot and very friendly guys, order ahead and they have it ready for you ! 10/10 recommend !“

“These are the best ribs around. they are delicious.“

“I had a steak salad. It was good, but there wasn't enough dressing, only one little plastic container full. If I pay $20 For a salad, it needs to have enough dressing so that every bite tastes like the dressing. It shouldn't have dry spots for that kind of money, which is overpriced for a salad. I also had to wait longer than the quoted prep time before it was ready.“

“Excellent venue for ceremony & wedding receptions. Formerly a restaurant & train station. This wedding & event center is beautiful inside. The outside needs restoration and painted but so much history. Definitely recommend this venue if you are looking for a very cool venue & a historical site in Youngstown.“

“All five stars? Well, it must have been Saturday, I must have gotten a rack of ribs with extra sauce that were smoky good, and the bartender must have done a great job taking my order and getting me a beer.

Seriously, I was absolutely impressed by the ribs. Cooked over charcoal or wood because the smoke ring was perfect, as were the ribs. No fat (NO fat!) and just a slight char on the ends. There are a lot of great rib joints around Youngstown, and since it's harder and harder to find roast lamb on Saturdays, ribs are my safety pick. The ribs at the Royal Oaks were perfect, better after I got them home and slapped them in a casserole and baked at 250 tightly wrapped for like 40 minutes. Absolutely great flavor that will impress anyone who likes a nice rack of ribs.
(A comma can change the meaning of a sentence, but not always) $25 for just a rack, no sides.“

“Been coming to this place for 12 years. It has a great old school atmosphere where everyone is like family. When they do cook AND I ASSURE YOU THAT YOU WILL. OT FIND BETTER LAMB, CHICKEN, HAM and when available pork. You can always find George there and his wife and son are there doing their thing making sure your plate is full of goodness.“

“The food is fantastic. I also like the atmosphere“

“There’s no way a multi million dollar chain food restaurants can be open and serve food to the public when the mens restaurant smells like absolute garbage. I visited this location a few times thinking oh it might of been that one time, giving them the benefit of the doubt; but ohh no it’s every time Ive gone to this roadhouse the mens restaurant smells like no one has cleaned it in a week.“
