Menu

Discover a hidden gem that offers a unique dining experience with a local feel. Enjoy live music from a banjo duo, while spinning albums for added ambiance. While the stools may be in rough shape, the pulled pork is top-notch with a delicious glaze, and the BBQ sauce, although one-dimensional, is tasty. Don't miss the jalapeño cheese grits and unique slaw. While not everyone may be a fan of the jalapeño cornbread, the overall experience at this place is well worth a visit, especially if you're in the area and craving a tasty sandwich. However, it may not be everyone's favorite BBQ spot in Cincinnati, as reviews can be mixed. But for those looking for mouthwatering ribs, Carolina-style pulled pork, and cheesy jalapeño grits in a low-key atmosphere with a focus on food, this spot is definitely worth a visit. With friendly service and delicious options, this restaurant provides a memorable dining experience that may just become a regular favorite for many.

Was KAT SLKJLK at Eli's BBQ a mag?
Like home made BBQ in your back yard with no prep and dishes. It has been a while since I last went so it was time for a revisit. I had the pulled pork sandwich and a side but was tempted to try the ribs... Next time for sure. Ribs are ordered in number of bones. View all feedback.

What April Hughes dislikes about Eli's BBQ:
Second time to try and won’t be back. Love barbecue but you can definitely find better in Cincinnati. So disappointing. Mac and cheese taste liked boxed and the meat was cold and had a vinegar taste. Can’t dine in. Only take out available.Food: 2/5 View all feedback.

3 of us ordered 10 bones and a couple sides each. The quality of the ribs, the rub and the sauce together is magnificent. The mashed potatoes are uniquely prepared, the mac and cheese is delicious and the cole slaw is perfectly creamy!

The Smoked Wings remind me of when I lived in the south. These are some very tasty wings!

Best smoked wings! Ordered inside and ate outside in the large pavilion.

Loved all the food we had here! The grab a plate and find a table vibe was fun for a BBQ place and made it easy to enjoy with a toddler. Very reasonably priced, as well.
