Barbecue comes in many forms — ribs smoked for hours and slathered in sweet and smoky sauce, slow-cooked brisket covered in a flavorful dry rub, juicy pulled pork or shredded chicken perfect for crafting a delicious sandwich topped with slaw. Fortunately, there are plenty of incredible barbecue restaurants found all around the country that offer everyone the chance to dine on classic dishes.
According to a list compiled by LoveFood, the "best barbecue restaurant" in all of Ohio is Eli's BBQ in Cincinnati. This popular spot evolved from sandwiches served on Fountain Square in 2011 to a brick-and-mortar location in East End that has since opened its second location, per its website. Eli's BBQ has two locations around Cincinnati. Find your nearest one by visiting the restaurant's website.
Here's what the site had to say about the best "unmissable" barbecue in the state:
"Pork is the order of the day at Eli's BBQ, a cool BYOB joint with outdoor seating and two Cincinnati locations. What to order? The dry-rubbed ribs, smoked beef hot dogs, and pulled pork sandwich — hickory-smoked pork piled high on a toasted bun with house-made barbecue sauce — are all winning options."
