Parking is on street with a sidewalk to get you to the front door. We were greeted by the pitmaster as we walked in and told to sit anywhere. Seating is all booths with a few stools at the counter. Overall, the seating area is pretty small. They also do a significant takeout business. We looked over the small menu and quickly decided what we wanted. They have both pork and brisket sandwiches as well as ribs. We ordered a lunch plate because we each wanted to try a side along with the main entree. The food took maybe 10 minutes to prepare. This included cutting the frying the hand cut fries. The brisket sandwich contained a good amount of outstanding smoked meat. The flavor was exceptional. The baked beans side was good, with a bit of smoke flavor although I did not notice any meat bits included. The pulled pork was also very good and plentiful. The hand cut fries were excellent. I did try some of the sauces from the table and they were also very good. We spent a lot of time talking to the owner/ pitmaster. He was so personable and really seemed to not only enjoy making an excellent meal, but to see his customers enjoy it. We added a pin to the map showing where all his guests came from, which is all over the US as well as several other countries. The Pitmaster is known around the world and definitely has earned the recognition.

Stopped here for dinner on our first night in Red River Gorge…read more We aren't the most BBQ-forward folks but choices were limited so we came here. Parking can be somewhat of a chore but we were able to snipe one at the end of a row at the top of the parking lots near the buildings. Ordered the pork belly skewers to start. Was worried at the size of them that they would be slimy but these were tender, and had a great char and crisp to them. For my entree I went with the brisket which comes with two sides - vinegar slaw and sweet potato. The brisket was good - sauce was standard. I thought the sweet potato was good, but the slaw was very bland and pedestrian. Very disappointing if I'm honest with everything else good. We took dessert home - I went with the bourbon peach cobbler. Holy hell the size of it was insane, and the side ice cream put on top and the sauce was very very good. Service was solid and would highly recommend trying this place.

The restaurant appeared clean and was nicely decorated (except the Holsteins really didn't make a lot of sense.) The brisket seasoning was decent, but the meat was slightly dry (we ate in their parking lot.) The fries were awful. They tasted like they were cooked in oil that wasn't hot enough. The mac & cheese tasted like school cafeteria (overcooked noodles and odd taste.) The hot and sweet sauces appear to be vinegar based which I'm not a fan of. The hot isn't too bad. This location just opened up so I'd be willing to try them again, dining it. It was a relief to see employees smoking the food right outside (as we've encountered several bbq places that claim to serve smoked meat but don't actually smoke it.)

If so, I'll update this review.

Darren and the gang at the Scioto Ribber aren't running a restaurant. They're preserving a national…read moretreasure with a smoker attached. I'll give you 20 top reasons this is why I believe this is Ohios best steak house : 1. Darren welcomes you with such casual hospitality that five minutes after sitting down you start wondering if you've accidentally been adopted. 2. The Scioto Ribber is so unpretentious that if a New York food critic walked in wearing a $3,000 suit, the steak would still be the most impressive thing in the room. 3. Some steakhouses sell atmosphere. The Ribber sells steak and lets the atmosphere happen naturally. 4. The menu has less ego than most restaurant owners. 5. The steak arrives looking like it just won a bar fight and a beauty contest on the same day. 6. Every bite tastes like somebody figured out how to barbecue a memory. 7. The char-smoked flavor is so unique that if you served it blindfolded, half the table would think they were eating at a ranch in Montana and the other half would think they died and went to beef heaven. 8. Fancy steakhouses spend millions trying to create authenticity. The Ribber accidentally has it. 9. The wait staff are professionals disguised as neighbors. 10. The service is so genuine that when they ask how you're doing, it feels like they actually want the answer. 11. Other restaurants train employees. The Ribber seems to raise them correctly. 12. The place has more Ohio character than a Reds game, a church festival, and a Fourth of July parade combined. 13. Some restaurants are experiences. The Ribber is an institution with mashed potatoes. 14. You don't leave feeling like a customer. You leave feeling like you attended a family reunion where everybody liked you. 15. The steaks aren't cooked. They're respectfully introduced to fire. 16. The outdoor wood-fired grill does things to beef that should probably require a permit. 17. If a steak could earn a blue-collar PhD, this would be it. 18. The flavor isn't subtle. It walks up, shakes your hand, and tells you exactly where it came from. 19. Most restaurants want to impress you. The Ribber doesn't care. That's why it does. 20. The value is so good that halfway through dinner you start looking around for hidden cameras because surely somebody forgot to charge enough. Bonus Five : 21. Darren runs the place with such affection and quiet pride that you get the feeling he'd rather lose money than let a guest have a mediocre meal. 22. In an era where every restaurant wants to reinvent dining, the Scioto Ribber has spent decades perfecting the radical idea of serving great food by great people. 23. The steaks have more smoke than a political debate but leave a far better taste in your mouth. 24. This isn't just Portsmouth history. It's Ohio history with a baked potato. 25. The Scioto Ribber proves that you don't need valet parking, mood lighting, imported marble, or a sommelier named Sebastian. Sometimes all you need is wood fire, great beef, hardworking people, and an owner who treats guests like family. The two blonds behind the bar are so sharp that hemophiliacs have to file a restraining order The Scioto Ribber is what happens when Americana, hospitality, common sense, and a wood-fired grill get together and decide to show the rest of the restaurant industry how it's done.

I've heard people call it "the best steak I've ever had," which mostly made me wonder... where else have y'all been eating steak? Feels like the philosophy here is: "Why focus on quality when we can simply give you enough meat to feed a youth baseball team?" That said -- the service is great, the atmosphere is classic local favorite energy, and you will absolutely not leave hungry. Cheers to you, want rush back-but may find myself here again.

Haven't been here since they moved into the new location and it was a nice refresher!…read more New location is nicer and feels more formal. Inside seating still, but now they've got outdoor seating and there's a whole shared paved parking lot where the farmer's market sets up. Menu is still the same: all the meats, sandwiches, and different sides (still haven't tried ranch beans but it'll happen next time). Collard greens had a bit of a tang and so did the potato salad (maybe more vinegar than I'm used to). The potatoes were well cooked, not gummy. Berry crumble bar was delicious, lots of berries mixed throughout. Pulled pork and pulled chicken are very basic meats that you expect to be done well. And they were - not dry at all, very tender. The grill spice on top didn't make me love the meat anymore, it actually made everything taste too salty for me. Spicy BBQ sauce was savory and not with as much of a kick as I thought. Still went really well with meats. Pretty quick turn around from me placing my order to getting my food!
