Eli's BBQ

Great stop 6-26-22 4:30pm Ribs - perfect bite for ribs in my opinion. Bones were nicely sliced and flavor was great Wings - amazing. Perfectly seasoned, very tender, great flavor Pulled pork - flavor was great. Slightly dry but we went at 4:30pm so understandable. Mac and cheese - good flavor and good cheese to noodle ratio Baked beans - wow. Great flavor and consistency Cole slaw - not my favorite but still good Service - friendly and welcoming, great people TLDR: take the time to stop here. You will not be disappointed!

Today (05/22) was my first, but certainly not my last, visit to Eli's BBQ. Got the 8 bones (i.e. ribs) plate with cheesy grits and jalapeno cornbread. Having lived half my life in the south, I know good BBQ and Eli's is LEGIT! The ribs were perfectly smoked and I think lightly fried and dusted with more rub... WOW!!! It's very rare to find a BBQ joint where the ribs don't need or want sauce. The only thing I missed were true southern sides like collard greens and fried okra. Otherwise, definitely recommend and will be back soon.

The staff seem friendly but the mac and cheese had a sour flavor, the beans had a strange taste, and the pork was flavorless. The BBQ sauce and coleslaw were decent. There are only 7 tables inside and the bees claim the tables outside so you should consider carry out.

The first time I went here was 2016 and I never forgot how good the food was. 🤩 Today, I finally got to come back but this time with my husband! You can't go wrong with BBQ food and eating at a picnic table. 😋 The pulled pork sandwich is sweet, juicy, and flavorful. The baked beans have a smokey BBQ flavor. The mac and cheese is thicc and yummy. 😉 My husband had the "dirty" version of the mac and cheese and mashed potatoes and he was obsessed. 🤤 Definitely a must-see when in Cinci.
