First time visiting Columbus and found this place out on Google with their amazing brisket waffles…read more Got seated really fast and our servers are really nice. They check on us now and then letting us know how long the food will take since they are short on staff and have a couple of large parties before us. We ordered their full rib in dry and the sweet potato brisket waffles. The reason why I don't give them a 5 stars is because their meat seems to be a bit too dry. The brisket on my waffle have to add a lot of maples in order to make them moisture, the good thing about the meal is the meat portion are very generous and flavorful. The town itself is very interesting as well so hope sometime in future I'll get to visit again

We stopped in to get some BBQ. We were not very hungry so we…read moreall shared two plates of the brisket. We were seated right away and our server was nice. She did not tell me there was an up-charge for a side of ranch for my fries which I probably would not have asked for since, as you can see from my small plate I ate only about 5 fries. The atmosphere is very relaxed. The bathrooms were not very clean and our table was a bit dirty. We used sanitized napkins and they were dirty after wiping our table. The food was really good which is why I gave it 4 stars. The meat was tender and very tasty. The fries were very good as well. This place could be a five star but due the above mentioned issues with cleanliness and up charge, I could not bring myself to a five star review.

A definite place to stop if you want your taste buds rocked! Amazing food! We drove in from TX and…read moredecided to try some BBQ: it was AMAZING!! The rack ribs were so tasty, juicy, and tender. We got a bunch of different sides: every single one of them was like a Christmas dinner dish. Our kiddo got the pulled pork sandwich and loved it! The service was outstanding; those ladies are working their behinds off in the heat, but they still have beautiful and joyous smiles!

I absolutely loved this place! The food is absolutely amazing. I' from Texas, where BBQ food is a…read morestaple; this is spot on to that!!! I miss home, and this place definitely reminded me of home. Not only was their food amazing, their customer service was absolutely outstanding. The only negative thing I have to say is fix the A.C in there for those lovely women!!!! It is far too hot here for no A.C.

As a Columbus native, I grew up enjoying Country's BBQ and have always loved it. I now live in…read moreAtlanta so I don't get to visit often. We were quickly seated when we walked in. Our server was very friendly and efficient. All three of us had pork plates. They came out quickly. The food was good but not as great as I remember it being. The location is a former bus station. The noise level is rather loud but not crazy.

So- pros: Food was…read moregreat- the half chicken was awesome, and I love their butter beans. The ranch has a great flavor and my kids loved the fries. The waitress (once we started being served) was sweet. Cons: The hostess was a young boy (possibly high school). It was evident that some more training would be beneficial for communication and relaying to the growing line of customers that the tables were going to be available within an estimated timeframe. He said something about a table then vanished for 7 minutes as the line grew. It took a long time to be seated as a result, and then an even longer time to begin service. The biggest con: the window sills are full of flies (live and dead). It almost made me unable to eat my food (which was delicious). My kids made it a game to count the flies on the windowsill and it was 10 that they could see from their seats. I'd say even for a restaurant in the southern summer that's way too many. They definitely need to work on controlling and cleaning up the fly corpses. If the public facing area is this full of flies, what is the state of the kitchen?! Please correct this- it was disgusting and made me queasy. This would be solved with some basic cleaning at close......

Good bbq and even better for the value. Service was great and on point. Nice place to stop for bbq…read moresandwich. Word of caution though, the hot bbq sauce is HOT, it's good but for real hot. I'm sweating right now lol.

If you're going for the OG Clearview SAVE your money it is NOT the same. If you want DECENT Bbq…read morethen this is your place and if your tired of long lines go here but even with a short line the are slowwwwwwww. It's decent bbq as long as it's not compared to OG Clearview but even comparing it to other places in Columbus I would rather eat else where if giving the choice. To the owner!! Beg for the OG sauce recipe and your line will be out the door like it was before you took over. And work on being a tad faster with orders too! You can still keep your sauce if you like it or others like it but put out the OG sauce too! Have them come train your employees for a little bit and I promise your store will stay busy. But if you are ok with just getting by then stay the same. I still give two stars because the food is alright and sauce is ok compared to others around town it's not terrible but yall slowww

Great service and delicious bbq is hard to beat. My better half had the pulled pork sandwich with mac and cheese. Then I had ribs, mac and cheese with Brunswick stew.
