Poor customer service. Tried to order lunch over the phone for a group 15 people. They couldn't send a confirmation. Only after you purchased. Not good business.

Small location with no seating, so everything is to go, which is fine, as there is plenty of seating outside the market right outside. Limited menu at this location. The pulled pork was one of the best I have ever had. Sandwich was huge, with overflowing meat and sauce - the best way to have it. Ask for some pickles on the side, you will not be disappointed.

The pulled pork sandwich is amazing, pork has great flavor by itself but with the sweet smoky BBQ sauce it is even better.

Terrible is the only way to describe my meal. I'm very forgiving. I've had Elis many times over the years and always get the rib tips or "burnt ends". My order on Sunday was so tough and dry that even the four cups of sauce couldn't save them. I guess that's why I stopped going. We have lots of other bbq options in town. I thought Eli's still had it, but it appears the magic is gone.

We were walking in the area of Findlay market and a couple locals told us this place had the best barbecue. We got some to take to my in-laws. Everyone loved it. Great pulled pork.
Very good food needs to make side items bigger its like a sample but tastes so good

I was so glad to visit one of my old favorites again. As flavorful as I remember. Eli's will always be on the itinerary when I visit Cincinnati.

Can't eat inside so, no atmosphere but Findlay is always fun.As delicious as the original, the only difference is their confusing a$$ front door. Got me walking into people's apartments by accident. ?
One of the best bbq places i tried while in Cincinnati!My husband is a big bbq fan so while planning this trip I researched who has good bbq, a few diff places popped up but this one was consistently in the top. And we were not disappointed!At this point in our trip I was tired of pork and opted for the turkey and WOW. Turkey is known to be easy to mess up, it gets hard and dry quickly, but this was hands down the best turkey I've ever had. I wish it would replace the thanksgiving turkey!!! The beans and mac n cheese were also delicious. There was no aspect of the food that wasn't good. The space itself is small and only allows you to pick up your food, you have to scrounge around findlay market to find a seat. I'm not sure if they change this for the colder months, but during warm weather when everyone and their mom is out and about its hard to find a seat! We managed to grab a standing table nearby. Overall: Highly recommend. Theres a chocolate shop a few doors down and I would make a trip just to get Eli's and the choc. shop!

Cincinnati style bbq (savory shredded and pulled pork with a sweet red tomato sauce) done exceptionally well. The pulled pork sandwich and Jalapeño cheddar grits are must-trys, and everything else on the menu is delicious as well.

My new favorite spot for BBQ in the city. Maybe the best BBQ I've ever had. To start off the smoked wings are super juicy and crispy. They also aren't small. Mac and cheese was delicious and so was the corn bread. I have nothing negative to say about my experience. I order the food through DoorDash which was surprisingly super easy and the delivery was fast. Most importantly the food was still hot when I opened it. Highly highly recommend!
