Eli constantly responds to criticism and tries to support his community. Such a kind soul and great on the grill!

Food never disappoints! My favorite BBQ spot in Cincinnati! All the negative reviews are from sad people who believe fake news. I love that Eli’s gives back to its community and they are not discriminating against anyone. I highly recommend the rib tips, the turkey sandwich and the cornbread! You also should pick up a bottle of their BBQ sauce!
