It’s no secret that Columbus, OH boasts the best food in the Northeastern US, especially when it comes to All-American grub! Although you may think that you need to head down South to experience incredible BBQ, Columbus actually has some top-quality BBQ joints that contend with even the best in the South. From slow-cooked pulled pork to smoky sausages, here are some of our favorite spots where you’ll find the best barbecue in the area.
Smoked on High BBQ
Set in an old Victorian-style building with a beautiful garden at 755 South High Street, Smoked on High BBQ is famous for its Texan-style slow-cooked meats. Popular items include the 18-hour smoked brisket and their award-winning ribs, and, if you can’t decide which of their incredible meats to go for, you can order the South High Sampler; a massive plate piled high with all 5 of their delicious meats.
Hank’s Texas BBQ
Another excellent Texan BBQ joint, Hank’s Texas BBQ is one of the most popular BBQ spots around town, and for good reason! With a wide range of meats available, including ribs, chicken, and jalapeno & cheddar sausages, there’s something for everyone here! Can’t decide what to try? Order their aptly named BARBQTERY board which contains a mix of all the meats they have on offer along with sauces, pickled onions, and bread.
Hank’s Texas BBQ is located at 2941 North High Street, and its inviting interior makes it a great spot to relax for an evening. However, all of Hank’s food is also available for take-out and kerbside pick-up, and with the powerful 3.6L V6 engine in the new Dodge Charger, you’ll be sure you get your food back home to your family while it’s still piping hot and fresh from this BBQ joint!
B & K Smoke House
When it comes to messy finger food, B & K Smoke House is the spot to go! Located at 1114 East Main Street, this place serves some of the best pork ribs, chicken wings, and turkey ribs in the area. All of these meats are slow-cooked to perfection until the meat falls off the bone at a simple touch, delivering tons of flavor in every tender, melt-in-the-mouth bite. Try not to gorge yourself too much!
