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.

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.

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!

When ordering online or for pick up this restaurant does not secure its packaging. All you have to do is a sticker or a piece of tape. Please.

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!

The order I placed had flies swarming inside of it, pretty gross. Would not recommend ordering here, all they had to do was tie the bag handles closed.

Ribs are out of this world. They are perfect with the dry rub. The BBQ sauce they give you is good, but unnecessary. They ribs are firm enough to stay on the bone, but perfectly tender. Jalapeno grits are on point as well.We went on a Saturday around 11 and there was no line. We had our food in 10 minutes. There is no seating inside, just a couple of tables outside.Basic simple menu. No frills awesome BBQ.

Listen…. The Ribs…. Just get them. Get some extra sauce. I swear they flash fry them or something on the back end. Hit them with a dusting of seasoning… They have a smoke ring so I know they’re grilled at some point. Regardless, get them. Best ribs I’ve had in Cincinnati! Will return for sure.Likes: The Ribs… The service… The Vibes…Dislikes: Bakes Beans… They were pork-n-beansRecommended Dish/Item: What you think?

Service was good but long wait!We ordered the rib tips they were okay but could be better seasoned. The sauce is to sweet for my liking. Jalapeño cornbread was jiffy mix with small pieces of jalapeños. Mash potatoes were good but it's really hard to mess that up. Cold slaw was bitter to say the least. This seems to be a big hit for locals I am from out of town must say this was horrible,
