My brother and I would pass by on our way to Riverbend and wonder what was the big deal. Well, we found out yesterday. The ribs were amazing and baked beans were out of this world. A very family-friendly place and the food is worth a stop.

Best BBQ I've ever had in my life and I've been all over the country, staff was freindly and helpful, the food came out to us in under 10 minutes hot and ready, I had both the ribs and pulled pork and it was phenomenal. If you're in Cincinnati go here you'll be glad you did. I'll be going to Eli's BBQ everytime I go to Cincinnati from now on I loved it.

The ribs were spot on, very tender a little bite off the bone with a great hickory smoke no sauce needed with their rub.

First time. Wonderful outdoor seating. I’m from Kansas City and feel like I know BBQ pretty well, and I really wanted to love this place. My kids do love it. I wanted brisket-they don’t serve it. Wanted a glass of tea (hot, humid day)-didn’t have iced tea. Wanted green beans-didn’t have. I ended up with Mac and cheese, a grilled mashed potato and cole slaw. Hubby ordered our food and surprised me because I would not have ordered these. Really wanted to At least have an option of something a little healthier- green beans, sma... read more
