“ First saw this place on Triple D and as an avid fan of Cincinnati style chili I had to come check it out. We came in hungry and curious and went out full and happy. We sat at the bar where we received fabulous full service of food and drinks. I got the 3-Way and my wife got the burnt ends and coleslaw which all was delicious and would definitely go back. ”
“ You gotta stop in here if you're in Cincinnati. Excellent BBQ & cheap beers! There is always sports on & looks like there is live music at night (maybe on weekends). The pork belly melts in your mouth. We got the Pen and the Farm to split for 10 people, and it was definitely enough food. The mac and cheese was also fantastic. ”
“ Cool place with friendly staff and atmosphere. The food was great. The sandwich I ordered was the same one Guy tried when he came in and featured this place on Triple D. The way the bacon onion jam paired with the carolina gold and that think pork belly definitely had me wanting to order another one to go but I was headed to The Bush concert and didn't want it to get ruined in the car. My waitress was such a sweetheart. She was knowledgeable and friendly and accommodating to anything we asked or needed. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town for anything. ”
“ I was genuinely blown away by the food here! The burnt ends were melt-in-your-mouth and wonderfully caramelized. The dry rub wings were excellent and I regretted only getting six! Loved the hot lucius and bama white sauces on the wings. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the Cincinnati area! ”
“ The staff was very friendly while offering very detailed descriptions of what they had to offer with it being our first time there. The food was amazing! The banana pudding is probably the best I've ever had. I definitely recommend. It's very nice and quiet on the inside. Nice little place. ”
“ Best BBQ I've ever had! Ive tried BBQ joints in probably 12-15 states, and this one takes the cake!! The rib tips in the dry rub literally melt in your mouth. No sauces needed! Also the Pendleton Porker best thing between two pieces of bread ”
“ Our favorite BBQ Place in Cincinnati! The Rib Tips are Amazing along with the Chili Fries which is made with Brisket. Get half lbs of Tips and the fries along with the Coleslaw and its a great meal for 2. I got it to go for the first time just got 1/2 lbs of tips for tomorrow Drove it home 25 milea home and its hot still. You will leave full and Happy you came! ”
“ I ordered the Pendleton Porker with beans & rice followed with mac n’ cheese. The sandwich was packed with flavor, I savored every bite to have it last longer. Sides were good, complimented the sandwich well. BUT THE BANANA PUDDING Look, this pudding made me think I now understand how Kanye West stayed with Kim Kardashian longer (because she made good banana pudding). This banana pudding is light, sweet, and all around probably one of the best deserts in the city. I’m telling you- you NEED to try it! ”
