“Today I traveled from Florida to Cincinnati. My sister and I wanted to get a bite to eat . We didnt want to get fast food that you could get on every corener . While leaving the airport I Googled restaurants close by . There were several to choose from however, we decided on Pig Candy BBQ this restaurant did not disappoint. The food was amazing ( we had the special which was the brisket sandwich) this sandwich was very tender and full of flavor. If you are just traveling through or a local or feel up to a drive this is definitely worth your time .The staff knows what customer service means . All around Great food and service. A MUST STOP....... THANK YOU !!“

“Sean was awesome!!!!“

“A real Cincy gem. Fast, friendly, and courteous staff. It is often hard to find this style of cuisine in the states. I look forward to my next meal here.The curry laksa was quite good. I also had the nasi lemak with beef rendang (delicious) and BBQ pork and won ton noodles dry style (amazing). The pulled black tea with condensed milk, teh tarik, was very good; brought back childhood memories on the road sides of southeast Asia.This restaurant has become a favorite of mine after a single visit.“

“I had a great lunch here and the service was phenomenal. The meat was tender and juicy. I had a great time and thank everyone for that“

“Enjoyed food and sevice.Would recommend that the lady working the front end be rewarded from owner for the great work she did for all in the store and drive up window. I can't imagine a person who could have performed at her level. The kitchen staff also did great on their side.“

“Ribs and green are delicious!!!!“

“If you ask how I want the burger cooked, you got to deliver. I said medium, and I got well done, not burnt or dry though. It was still juicy and seasoned fine. It was just "eh". A $16 burger should make want to come back. Fries were seasoned well and crispy.“

“Excellent food if you are in town, a must. The only cook so much food a day, and when it is gone, they are closed check their hours and get there early as well worth it.“

“Food is really good pairings well done with the beers...LAMB RIBS!!! OMG..A MUST HAVE!!“

“Oh my God they're brisket sandwich is like an orgasm for your taste buds.“

“I always made sure to judge a BBQ joint based on the ribs, burger or pulled pork sandwich. I got 4 bones and mac and cheese with 'make it dirty' for sides. They also gave coleslaw and sweet dip. It was so good, I didn't care that I had it…...“

“First time partaking That Guy’s BBQ. The mushroom streak hoagie was amazing!!! Also had some wings, and they didn’t last long. I’m sold and I will be back soon!! Keep up the great work!“

“We had Sweets and Meats cater our daughter's engagement party and were very pleased with the food and the service. We had the pulled pork and pulled chicken along with macaroni and cheese. All of our items were outstanding and the barbecue sauce was excellent. We would definitely order from Sweets and Meats again!“

“Great little BBQ spot!! We were traveling through the area and wanted to try some BBQ...while searching came across Just Q'in BBQ. We ordered Brisket, Ribs, Rib tips, and the Brisket and Mac bowl. Everything was pretty good, the Mac needed a little more cheese but other than that the BBQ was great with a nice smoke to it!! Overall, Great BBQ spot!!“

“I have been staying at The Phelps for business. I frequently get in late, and quite frankly do not feel like going out. The Phelps Bar is the perfect solution. I have been staying at The Phelps Hotel on and off for roughly a month so far. I have had most of their menu items and have yet to have one that has not been excellent. They recently changed their food and drink menu, so there are many new items to try. They have an outstanding "Signature Drink" Menu. My favorite is the Fig & Rosemary Old Fashioned that is hands down the very best Old Fashioned I have had anywhere, and that includes The Greenbrier Resort. The staff are all amazing and help to make the experience even better. My hat is off to Mark (I think he is the manager), Kat and Tynisa who run the bar, and David the cook. If you find yourself in the Downtown Cincinnati area close to the stadiums, then you really should try The Phelps Bar. You will not be disappointed.“

“So now, I love going to Texas Roadhouse, I've been going since I was a wee tot but this experience was mwah. The food was so good, I have never had a sirloin so tender and my sides were perfect. Not to mention our absolutely WONDERFUL server Emma. She was all smiles and kind. It's like she had a sixth sense for when me and my hungry family wanted some extra bread and my drink was NEVER empty. She was so kind and accommodating to our order. And she seemed to know exactly what we needed without asking and was right every time. I'll be asking for her next time I'm here.“

“Vegetarian options: Not very good for vegetarians. My wife got the Country Veg plate and it came with a hunk of steak bleeding into the baked potato. The server then told us the baked potatoes are also not vegetarian and rubbed in bacon grease. She had to get Mac and cheese instead.“

“I would recommend Velvet Smoke BBQ in white oak. One of the best bbq places I have ever had and it comes out of a small mom and pop shop. The ribs, burnt ends, and the wings are by far my favorite. Best BBQ in town, and I would recommend it to anyone that I know. If you are in the Cincinnati, OH area you need to check out this place!! 10/10!“

“I've never had a bad meal at this place. The food is always good and the service is exceptional. Considering this is a chain restaurant, it blows my mond how good their steaks can be. I've had a better steak here than what I've had at Walt's or Ruby's, I kid you not. Every time I eat here, it is consistently good, the food is fresh and well prepared.“

“My experience was great here. I was in town for a marathon and needed something somewhat clean but good taste and good portions. First, the place is small and not the best for large parties or really eating in, but dine in is available. All of your food will come in to go style( packaged and bagged) the menu. I decided to stop in because not to many places offer smoked turkey tips! The turkey tips were amazing. Full of flavor NO SAUCE NEEDED as a bbq spot should be. I also had the smoked salmon, which was ok. The sides I had were the greens cabbage mixed, which were tender and seasoned. With such a good experience for my tastebuds, I had an even better experience having a life conversation with the owner. Just hearing his background and getting his views on life made me a fan of his brand as a whole. Whenever I'm in the area, I'll definitely stop in for good food and vibes.“

“Very friendly always. The best burger I've had in years, well seasoned, juicy, cooked perfect. I couldn't finish the burger and had the rest for breakfast and it was still awesome. My son had wings and finished them down to the bone. Good good food ?“

“fantastic place great food“
