    Pulled pork meal and pulled pork nachos
    Doreen L.

    We just ate at Barrel and Boar for the first time today. We had the most amazing lunch ! The husband had the pulled pork meal and I had the pulled pork nachos. We shared with each other and had the most amazing lunch! I told my husband that I have found my new favorite BBQ place!!

    Stacked BBQ Mac and Corn Casserole

    This place was sooo good! I got the stacked bbq Mac and really enjoyed the flavors! The corn casserole was also amazing. My only complaint would be the flys inside of the restaurant because the doors are kept open.

    The BBQ Mac with brisket is an amazing combination. Fast, friendly service. Great portion size. Comfy, especially with the outdoor seating on a cool summer evening.

    a plate of ribs and macaroni and cheese

    This is Barrel and Boar: 10-10. Hands down the best BBQ I've had in a while. Every bite of the Mac & Cheese was flavorful and deliciously cheesy. The corn casserole was sweet and creamy. The BBQ and ribs were to die for. AND Best of all, the price was right! A huge plus was that the customer service was great! The outdoor seating options were much appreciated although we sat inside. Whenever I am in town next, I will be back!! This restaurant may have been renamed or under new ownership now, it is no longer The Smoked Food Factory. I am not from the area and therefore accidentally posted my review for the Gahanna location (edits to follow).

    So, walking in to the place I noticed that there weren't a lot of tables. Of course, the location is a bit odd for a restaurant so you have to build to your planned traffic. Nonetheless, there was no problem getting a seat. Now, on to the menu. If you are familiar with Barrel and Boar, this has a much trimmed down menu. Which is OK, because almost everything is a hit. I ordered the Stacked Mac and Cheese and it was AMAZING. My friend ordered the Pig Big and yes, it was big. And he enjoyed it immensely. TLDR; Just go there and enjoy!

Definitely a privileged problem to have, but I'm here to say you should save Da Que in your phone or old school memory bank. Because the diverse selection of smoked meats as sandwichs or platters at Da Que are worth the stop. It sits just a mile or so off 33 and isn't visible from the road. In fact no commercial establishments make you assume it is a farms only exit. But get off the road for a quick stop. Four of us getting out of Columbus before rush hour stopped for a late lunch and were glad we did. Pulled pork, brisket, chicken all available as sandwiches and range of sides including slaw, baked beans, mac and cheese and cheesy potatoes. Next time I'm going to be brave and try the brisket and mac and cheese burrito! The pitmaster was on the register and kept apologizing for being out of his element as he struggled to find the right buttons to push on the register. But honestly good fun to laugh with him as we all outside our lanes as we were still decked out in formal conference attire. But our common love for smoked anything and everything was the common thread. And I haven't done it but clearly catering is a core dimension of their business. Located in Fairfield County south of Columbus, I'm guessing they'd travel to reach quite a few locales.

    Stopped by for lunch and it was the perfect spot after a long hike. The food was great but honestly…read morethe people are what makes this place 5 stars. They truly take pride in their place and want first timers and regulars to feel at home. There's indoor and outdoor seating options and a very casual feel. Don't be deceived by the simple exterior, the food is great! After trying the variety of BBQ sauces and devouring our food, the dessert fridge was just starting us in the face. Do NOT leave here without dessert! Best banana pudding I've ever had! I will hands down be back again.

I had to drown mine in ketchup and take a drink of water with each bite to swallow. The macaroni and cheese was definitely plastic-y in consistency and taste which again needed ketchup. The corn casserole was super eggy and if you're thinking that old school sweet version, this ain't it. The only bright spot were the cheese potatoes which were really good. Good enough to come back for? No but that's definitely the side I would choose. Oh and size of sides compared to price was definitely no value when you're buying sides to try in addition to your meal. Order was late and tasted like it had been sitting. We're no longer hangry but sadly just angry after all that.

I was able to steal a little of my wife's Dijon Hollandaise from her Eggs Benny to moisten my entree, and it was a good audible. The herb home fries were very nice, just like our waitress who struck up a conversation with us around the local happenings to partake in during the nice weather. JB's main menu is lunch and dinner focused so it would be interesting to go back and experience that.

We were a pretty good sized group: seven adults and two kids, including my wife and me. One of the kids was celebrating his 13th birthday and had made a rather specific request: he wanted a birthday cake made out of Texas Roadhouse rolls. More on that masterpiece in a minute. Hannah was our server and she was OUTSTANDING. Managing a table our size while also handling other tables is no small task, but she was attentive, friendly and on top of things throughout the meal. I went with the Chicken Critter Salad, which has been my favorite here for years. My wife had the grilled shrimp with several vegetable sides. Everyone at the table enjoyed their food. Now for our usual restaurant obstacle course: my wife has gluten and dairy allergies, while I have a tree nut allergy and Alpha Gal, with a diabetes kicker just to keep things interesting. I was genuinely surprised to find that Texas Roadhouse has a gluten free menu. Even more important, Hannah took our dietary issues seriously, paid attention to the details and made sure we were comfortable with our choices. That makes a huge difference when eating out with multiple food restrictions. The atmosphere is exactly what you expect from Texas Roadhouse: busy, loud, crowded and energetic. This isn't the place for an intimate conversation or a serious business dinner, but it's absolutely appropriate for families, groups, kids and a casual date. And then there was the birthday cake. The staff actually took their famous rolls and built a two tier birthday cake out of them, using their cinnamon butter as the icing. Look at the picture. This wasn't somebody tossing a few rolls onto a plate and sticking a candle in them. They went all in. For a kid turning 13, they took a funny birthday request and turned it into something genuinely memorable. That kind of effort is what took this visit from a normal night at a familiar chain restaurant to an experience worth writing about. Great job by Hannah and the entire Lancaster Texas Roadhouse team. This one surprised me, in the best possible way.
