“We were looking for some protein before our hike in the nature preserve. SO happy we happened upon Pig Candy BBQ ? We had the brisket sandwich and pulled pork waffle. Absolutely delicious, we ended up ordering another sandwich to go. The employees were also so sweet, what a joy to eat here!“
“I ordered the beef rendang on DoorDash, as I'm Indonesian and from Maryland but just moved to Cincy from Myrtle Beach (absolutely no diversity there). It was sweet, spicy, and tender; almost exactly like how my mom would make it. Thank you for a wonderful and refreshing meal to remind me of home, especially as Ramadan is approaching. Absolutely delicious!I do wish the portion size was bigger. Maybe it's because when my mom would cook it, I could keep coming back for more, but it did seem like a bit of a smaller portion for $14.“
“We were just passing through the area but we sure do wish we lived closer. We got the smoked turkey sandwich and brisket sandwich and both were delicious. The fries were also great. Fast and friendly service as well. If you like BBQ you can’t go wrong stopping here.“
“Came with a group for lunch. Everything was good. The only complaint from the group was the Swamp Mud drink, apparently it tasted like a black licorice liquor was mixed in for the coloring effect. But the other drinks were on point. The pasta dish was excellent. We will definitely be back.“
“If you ask how I want the burger cooked, you got to deliver. I said medium, and I got well done, not burnt or dry though. It was still juicy and seasoned fine. It was just "eh". A $16 burger should make want to come back. Fries were seasoned well and crispy.“
“By far the best bbq in Cincinnati hands down. The brisket is from heaven ❤ for such a small location it puts out an amazing amount of bbq. Get there early cus they sell out. They also have another location in OTR we haven't been to but know they serve alcohol there ?“
“We were traveling from Louisville KY to home in Akron Ohio. We were craving some bbq! We found Beards and Belly and went to check it out. We were so happy we did! Food was AMAZING!! Their recipe for greens, potato salad and pickle salad were the best we’ve ever had!! BBQ was AMAZING! Brisket, pork belly and sausage! It was definitely finger licking good!! The atmosphere and the jolly bearded guys were so friendly too!We will be back!“
“Very informal restaurant -order at the counter and take food to table. Food was simple, but excellent. Not a lot of food options, but what we did get was VERY good. Ribs and brisket were both excellent. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Many people getting take-out. In warmer weather we would have considered taking the food to a larger outside area.“
“This place was excellent. Brisket was on point along with the cowboy beans.Their white bbq sauce is where it’s at with the brisket.Also. Shout out to service. First time here and they were invested in making sure it was a good experience.Nobody is going to leave here disappointed.“
“Really delicious bbq and side dishes! We had the ribs, bbq pork sandwiches, coleslaw, mashed potatoes, cornbread, baked beans, and macaroni n cheese. We dined in the outdoor seating area. It was heated and comfortable. Large picnic style table seating. Overall, it was a great experience.“
“I have been staying at The Phelps for business. I frequently get in late, and quite frankly do not feel like going out. The Phelps Bar is the perfect solution. I have been staying at The Phelps Hotel on and off for roughly a month so far. I have had most of their menu items and have yet to have one that has not been excellent. They recently changed their food and drink menu, so there are many new items to try. They have an outstanding "Signature Drink" Menu. My favorite is the Fig & Rosemary Old Fashioned that is hands down the very best Old Fashioned I have had anywhere, and that includes The Greenbrier Resort. The staff are all amazing and help to make the experience even better. My hat is off to Mark (I think he is the manager), Kat and Tynisa who run the bar, and David the cook. If you find yourself in the Downtown Cincinnati area close to the stadiums, then you really should try The Phelps Bar. You will not be disappointed.“
“Husband and I was out to dinner at a near by place that had a 35-45 minute wait so we decided to go here to get an appetizer to pass the time. That appetizer turned into 2 meals. We first ordered a side of beans and a pulled pork sandwich, while at the counter we asked to sample the potato salad. We did eventually order a side of potato salad. The food was fresh well seasoned and absolutely delicious!! We went back and ordered a sandwich that had 4 different meats and another side order of beans ( those 2 items totaled $25). The sandwich was enough to share. The prices were a bit high but the quality didn’t disappoint. I would have loved a bigger portion but who wouldn’t have when it’s so enjoyable!!! Definitely will be back definitely will recommend to others definitely didn’t miss the other place we were suppose to go too!! Restaurant was clean and the one bbq sauce they do have is so magnificent they don’t need another option in my opinion! Looking forward to trying all the sides!!! Job well done Harmon, please invent a loyalty program! I would love to earn points towards extra food and a birthday surprise!!“
“Parts & Labor have catered several of our company events/meetings and because there are dietary restrictions for a few of our members Jeffrey worked with us to makes sure these members were taken care of. The food has been wonderful and I would highly recommend them for any family or corporate event!“
“Best in BBQ in the city! I first tasted them at a food truck event and was hooked! I had them cater my client appreciation holiday party. They were on time, had all the food packaged nicely, set it up for me, and brought amazing food! Everyone raved about it. All the food heated up nicely for leftovers! Fan fave!“
“Very friendly always. The best burger I've had in years, well seasoned, juicy, cooked perfect. I couldn't finish the burger and had the rest for breakfast and it was still awesome. My son had wings and finished them down to the bone. Good good food ?“
“New customer. Had tender juicy turkey tips?? with cheesy creamy •seasoned• mac n chz?. Came back the next day with my son. We had turkey tips with baked beans and yams. So so good! Customer service was prefect! Clear communication and helpful with smiles ?“
“A great classic Cincinnati pub up in Mt. Adams and on the northend of the main strip. A historical building that has been treasured for years creates an amazing setting for great grub and good times. The menu is eclectic and the drinks are good. Have gone many times when in town for business or visiting my daughter at UC. Easily accessed from downtown or campus. Parking is on the street & is always interesting. Folks are always friendly & helpful. A good cultural destination if you're looking for a classic Cincinnati experience. Then go around the corner and enjoy some live music at The Blind Lemon!“
“We shared the city sampler, which came with 4 meats, 2 sides and 2 garlic toast. Ordered extra Mac and cheese for the kiddos as well as fries and cornbread. Everything was super delicious! They give big portions, we ordered way too much. First time being here and I would highly recommend it! I also enjoyed the different BBQ sauces they had set out.“
