    DELICIOUS!!!! Must try...I repeat, must try! The ribs were fall off the bone amazing and the Mac n' cheese was cheesy and full of flavor. The ribs did have lots and lots of flavor...I admit I did scrap some of the seasoning off, but it was enjoyable for sure. The staff was friendly and helpful.

    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!!

    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.

    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).

    For those of living well south of Columbus on Rt 33, the challenge of getting a distinct meal on…read morethe way home from meetings in the capital WHEN it makes sense is more than you'd think. 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.

As I recall, we had the beef brisket, the wings, and of course the pork ribs. (Like Eve, my wife wouldn't consider it the real experience without ribs!) The meat was already so perfectly seasoned that I almost hated to put any barbecue sauce on it. So good! That's about the highest compliment I can imagine giving any place. That's not to say their barbecue sauce wasn't also delicious--it's great! They actually have a whole range of different styles of sauces. Do what we did, dine in and sample the whole sauce lineup. My wife also gave them her highest compliment: While we were eating, she said something like, "This may be the best barbecue I've ever tasted." My wife has become a real barbecue connoisseur, with strong opinions on different barbecue places; coming from her, this means a lot. My wife's final tip: Skip the wings, go straight for the real meats! --Edit: My wife corrects my memory, I was remembering her review of the wings at a different barbecue place. She says the wings at Bob's were also excellent.

Since we were there during brunch, the spouse and I had two of their brunch staples. My Works Skillet was essentially a meat lovers omelette that looked a little better on paper than it tasted. The individual components tasted fine, but the dish was a little dry for me. The missing ingredient was cheese, so please request that they add some to your dish if you order it. 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.

After being seated our server came and introduced himself as Nick. I could sense immediately Nick was no novice. He was genuine, made eye contact, was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He took our beverage order and returned with our drinks and took our entree orders. Anytime he was serving other diners in our section he stopped by the table to see if we needed anything . He didn't miss a thing! Nick brought our entrees to our table, not a food runner giving him another opportunity to provide excellent service for anything else we might need to keep service at a high level. My wife had a tossed salad, Chicken Tenders , and a perfectly baked potato. I ordered a tossed salad, medium rare New York Strip, and a fluffy baked potato. Both our entrees were executed expertly: crispy, juicy, and tender chicken tenders and a perfect med rare steak! Between the Rock Star service Nick delivered and perfectly prepared entrees Texas Roadhouse knocked this one out of the park with a grand slam! Nick was the common, consistent piece of the puzzle bringing it all home. Thank you Texas Roadhouse AND Nick for an outstanding dining experience!!

I am disappointed with how things have changed in recent years, there are now so many hanging advertisements that it feels like dining in Times Square! It makes the restaurant feel tacky and overshadows the atmosphere which was previously Texas themed and fun/family forward. All around I recommend this restaurant for a casual, affordable, family dinner! Ps, I do hope the health department scores keep improving! While it has come a great distance from its 6(!) priority violations just a few months ago, I'm still concerned to see a priority violation and mention of roaches in their most recent health department report.
