13 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Monroe

“This is a surprising place! Though it's a small establishment without much decoration, they served up some very tender and flavorful food. Our family got the rib tips, pulled chicken sandwich, sausage Po Boy, and some Mac & Cheese and Greens.I'll start with the rib tips. For those who don't know what this is, it's that section of ribs that don't have the BONE, but have the cartilage. You're still eating around some inedible pieces, but it makes for a very tender hunk of meat. It tasted great with the standard sauce on it, but you get to add one of 3 sauces which are at the table. House BBQ is a little sweet, Carolina is like a honey mustard, and the hot BBQ sauce has just a little heat on it. While there isn't much of a smoky flavor to it, the way it's seasoned, you don't miss it too much unless that's what you're going for.The pulled chicken sandwich was so tender and flavorful. Pulled chicken is a hit or miss kind of dish, and they did it well.The Po boy was gone so fast, that sausage is delicious and flavorful, with the slaw being a nice, non-overpowering compliment to the sandwich.The sides were not the star of the show. Honestly, I wasn't very impressed here, the greens lacked depth and the Mac and cheese felt under seasoned. But my picky 5 year old ate it; to each their own!Staff was helpful and accommodating. The place is clean and inviting.It feels like this is a great restaurant in the making. If they get a smoker and a larger dining area, I can see this as a great sit down restaurant. It's about 25 minutes away from us, but we said we'd probably make the drive to go again. Near the outlet stores, too, this will probably be our stop whenever we go up there.“

“Our waitress was Kelly, she was absolutely amazing and she was so sweet and made sure our order was made right and there wasn't a single mess up. This restaurant is absolutely amazing. The food is amazing and so is the service. We definitely recommend coming here if your in the area.“

“First time here, and definitely not the last! I was initially greeted by Tracy who explained the menu and their mission very well! The food I ordered came out much quicker than I expected for what I ordered and once I gave it all a try I was very happy with how everything tasted!! Shelly(Stacey?) was also very helpful once I was seated making the whole dining experience here very nice. I'll definitely be coming back here again next time I'm in town. Would love to see one of these in Delaware or near Columbus!“

“Love getting take out from this spot. Their specials are awesome. Pulled pork is great. Love their gold bbq sauce. Coleslaw is good but a little salty. Cornbread is great but kind of small. Beans are different but good. Those who answer the phone and work the cash register are always friendly. Definitely recommend.“

“This food truck is hands down one of the best in the city. The food is real, fresh, and downright delicious – each bite feels like a flavor explosion. But what makes it truly special is the awesome crew running the show. They’re friendly, service is on point, and their smiles make the whole experience even better. I can’t recommend this place enough – it’s a must-try for anyone craving genuine, tasty eats!“

“This is my first time trying turkeysrus the food was great the service was great you can taste all the seasoning in every bite the Mac and cheese was great the greens was amazing the rib tips OMG juicy, tender and fall right off the bone good.

“Stopped in on St. Paddy's day, had a wild craving for some BBQ on this Beautiful day! Tried the sliced Brisket (so good! super smoked tender and didn't even need sauce but I added just a dab of the original and Spicy Sauce) and Jalapeno Cheddar Kielbasa Sausage (unique and delicious!), also had sides of fresh fried Okra and the Baked Beans. Everything was very good including service and clean dining area! Also got a "Big Yellow Cup" filled with Sweet Tea and met 1 of the owners Ric! Good man who cares about his business and guests! Definitely recommend this location! Gonna get me a Root Beet Float on the way out ?“

“Great service, great food, walked in around 750 ish dined with the family. They closed at 9 and still let us in. I initially ordered 2 tender kids meal but was charged for 1 but the boss man was so nice and got me another for no charge. Really appreciate that!“

“I have eaten at Combs many times. Their Ribs in the past have always been excellent and I do not mind spending 20 dollars when they are soft and fresh. I talked my Co-workers into ordering lunch from them last Thursday. I was beyond disappointed to spend 23 dollars on a 1/2 rack of ribs that were so dry and hard, I threw most of them away. They tasted like they had been left over and warmed up several times over. This quality was very unlike them and maybe it was just a one time thing. I hate to say it but now I'm leary at getting the ribs and spending that kind of money to just throw the food away. Their sides were delicious and fresh. I sure hope this was an isolated incident because we really enjoy their BBQ.“

“This is one of my absolute favorite restaurants. I have to watch my calories and carbs, so hot pot works well for me because I just get protein and vegetables. I’m there almost once a week and I travel 30 minutes to get there, I love it so much! The service is also outstanding. My only critique is that they charge $3.95 for soda water from the fountain. I don’t know any establishment that charges for soda water.“

“Service was amazing, seated quickly and server was very attentive. I ordered the ribs with fries, it comes with hush puppies. The ribs were fantastic, meat came right off the bone. Fries were good and the hush puppies were really good too. I would definitely go back, a really great place!“

“One of the best burgers I have ever eaten is at this restaurant in Kings Island (Pub burger). Comes with a side of tater tots. And I'm comparing this to places like In-N-Out, Shake Shack, etc. Definitely my top place to eat at in this “

“Purchasing food in a line at a theme park triggers a "fast food" sort of vibe by default. But this is really a premium spot. We had the pulled pork sandwich with Cole slaw(almost $18 not including drink) and they threw in one hush puppy. I think as a nice gesture. I purchased 1 all day premium meal pass(maybe $70?) which gets you one food thing every 90 minutes, and a coke product every 15 min. There are two of us but I figured we could alternate and each eat every few hours or share a bit. Portion size is generous, and the meat was well seasoned and tender. Staff was accommodating. Only outdoor seating right now but plenty of shade. If you are hungry, have a bit of cash and are tired of snacking. This is a great spot.“
