Forget city BBQ and the other barbecue places in Columbus, Ohio Hickory house is where it's at…read more This long-standing hidden gem remains one of the best places for ribs in Columbus hands-down. I have ordered take away as well as eaten in the restaurant multiple times, and have never been disappointed I love going to the restaurant to eat and experiencing the old-school vibe that they have maintained either intentionally or by coincidence. As you scan the client, tell you can tell these are folks who are local to the restaurant neighborhood and coming to eat. There is a part of the regular routine. This is just good old-fashioned delicious food nothing fancy and I love it for that

Pros: Good location with easy parking…read moreExcellent, friendly service Love the wood paneling Lots of indoor seating Liked the green bean side and coleslaw Cons: Ribeye was cooked well, but was tough to cut and had lots of tendons - disappointing since it was $39! Draft beers were $8 - also pricey Pro tip: Fun historic institution, sadly Gahanna closed so this location is the only one. Worth a try for after work drink and appetizers.

Off the Bone BBQ is a barbecue business that travels to festivals in many states…read more I was a customer of theirs at the 2026 Rib Fest in Pittsburgh. My husband and I purchased a Rib Teaser of three ribs for $13. Although these ribs were not great, we did like them, and my husband said that they were his favorite out of the few that he tried at the festival. Their other menu items included pull pork, brisket, beef ribs, wings, and sides such as collard greens and cornbread.

Review: Off The Bone BBQ -- Canton, Ohio 2026 Rib Burnoff…read more Off The Bone BBQ definitely lived up to their slogan: "You don't have to have teeth to eat our meat." At first, I stood in what appeared to be the only long line at the whole event because I was hoping to try their wings. Unfortunately, they were sold out by the time I got there, so I moved on and tried three other locations while searching for that real Fourth of July backyard BBQ flavor. I was not successful. As I was heading toward my fifth stop, the grill master, Boston, called me over and told me I needed to get back in that long line because I was about to miss out on something good. I reluctantly followed through, and I am glad I did. The meat had flavor, tenderness, and that true BBQ taste I had been looking for. Their Carolina Gold BBQ sauce was especially tasty and stood out the most. The other sauce was more average, but the overall plate was still good. Off The Bone BBQ easily made my top two BBQ spots from the event. Between the tenderness, flavor, and confidence of the grill master, this was a spot worth waiting for. Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Didn't look like mustard either. Pretzels tasted good, soft and salty.

The savory smell of smoked meat hit us as soon as we opened the door. That's always a good sign. We got a sampler, the brisket cheese stacker sandwich and the mac and moo sandwich. Sides of mac n cheese, corn casserole, and cheesy potato's. Every single thing we had was delicious. As a matter of fact my husband said the best BBQ he has EVER had, and he's tried a lot of BBQ joints! We'll be stopping by here on our next trip.

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.

There was a really long line, but the person who took our order was kind and patient and the food came out really fast. The food was delicious. We gave the pulled pork a 10/10 and would definitely come back to try more things. They were sold out of a few other meats, which is something to keep in mind if ur trying to eat here for dinner. My family loves barbecue, but because I'm a vegetarian I always have to eat before or after. It was nice to finally eat with my family and really enjoy something with barbecue flavors!

WOW! I remember…read moreHoggys under their origional owner with locations all over town. Well, the owner's son is bringing the brand back and today's lunch was total nostalgia! Meat is smoked onsite, sides are all house made using the original recipies. What's new is their "chipotle syle" service ( My words not theirs). Pick your meat (pork, brisket, chicken or turkey). Available as 4 ounce or 8 ounce, your base: (salad. Sandwhich bun, on a plate (bulk) or with Mac (I assume that is mac & cheese. Then they had a case of sides. We had the green beans, corn bread, mac and cheese, cole slaw and pickles. I dont know what sides we skipped. This felt like a lot. Oh and we added a wings. 5 for $5 bucks is a deal! I ordered the wingss with BBQ dry rub. The BBQ sauce selection was also part of the process. Do you want mustard based? Vinegar? Brown Sugar? We chose brown sugar and had 2 choices: one was sweet like a Sweet Baby Rays - Cincinnati style, Ithink and the other was sweet and tangy. We each got one of each of the briwn sugar options. Hubs went with tangy BBQ sauce pulled pork sandwhich topped with slaw and pickles. And a side of mac & cheese I ordered the lean brisket (had the option for a fatty cut of meat too) with the sweet BBQ sauce Once we paid at the counter we walked our loaded trays to the table of our choice and then got our drinks from the soda machine. Also available is their origional recipe for iced tea, sweet tea and lemonade. The lemonade was phenomenal! I know I've used that adjective twice in this review. It is well deserved.) We both ordered a cornbread muffin with cinamon honey butter. I have lots to say. First too many choices especially for the BBQ sauce. Tiny samples need to be part of the experience. Im thinking a popsicle stick dipped in the sauce for me to lick would be enough to decide. My salad base included a paper boat of iceburg lettuce topped with shredded cheddar cheese and pickled red onions. I ordered it with Ranch dressing. When I added a little of that Cincinnati sweet brown sugar sauce to the salad - it elevated the salad. Next time I will ask them to chop the brisket. Today it was served as 3 large chucks that I needed to cut to eat. My husbands pulled pork sandwhich started with a freshly buttered and toasted bun. The meat was chopped, and basted with the sweet and tangy brown sugar bbq sauce. They also addded a little pork render (fat) that was chopped into the pork befire piling it on the bun. Hubs put the cole slaw and pickles on the side because he doesnt like them but I do. There were a few other topping options but at the end of the day Hubs like just sauce, meat and bun. The sandwhich was phenomenal! We both loved it. My brisket was equally delicious. Neither of us can say which one was our favorite; pulled pork or brisket. The mac and cheese was a penne type noodle tossed in a cheese sauce but this was dryer. If you want gloopy cheese sauce then this is not for you. As it was, the cheese clung to each noodle. My husband LOVED it; I prefer more of a liquid cheese sauce. The green beans were salty. I wiuld like to see less salt used in the preparation. The corn beead was exceptional! Moist with cinamon in it. Hubs said if you dont like cinnamon then this is not for you. Im not sure I tasted the cinsmon but I only had one bite. Each muffin is served with a side of honey butter. I brought mine home for my son. If he doesnt like it, hubs and I will duke it out. LOL. Update: kiddo liked it Finally the ambience. It was very apparent from signage in the parking lot that the owner saved the Hoggy's restaurant decor. Inside art work was prominently displayed a large Mona Lisa, Girl with a pearl earring and American Gothic replicas each sporting pig noses. You too can pig up your own snout for just $3 from the display table when you walk in. (See what I did there? Pig up a snout LOL). High top seats at the bar are super comfy. The restaurant also had low tops and booths. Larger tables are perfect for families or friend groups. Utensils and napkins are available table side. The utensils look to be plastic but are actually metal - do not throw them away when you clear your table. Hoghys is an absolute 5restaurant. Im so glad we went back!

For a small business in what felt like a pretty random spot near Columbus, the BBQ was really good. The meat was tender, and the sandwich was very tasty. Was it the best BBQ I've ever had? No, but it definitely wasn't the worst either, and it's somewhere I would recommend people give a try. The service took a little longer than I would have liked, mainly because they seemed to be short-staffed, but the food made up for it. The ambiance was what you'd expect from a typical BBQ spot, and the area where we sat appeared to be clean and well-kept. Overall, a decent spot to stop by if you're in the area and looking for some good BBQ!

It was good, not great…read more The burnt ends were a small portion, and were extremely fatty. The kind where you can get a full mouth of squishy fat in some bites. The local lager on got on tap was a little flat and a little oxidized. I bet this is a bangin' summer place based on the location and ambiance but, it was quite dead when I was here. The bartender also seemed very distracted by a horrible thing she was going through outside of work, but I could tell she was still trying to give me the best service possible.
