    a sandwich and french fries
    Renee R.

    My husband and i always buy Groupons, living social, or cincysaver in order to venture out and try new restaurants, so my choice to purchase was fairly easy as barbecue is one of my favorite foods. So on our way to our sons baseball game we decided TK stop in the Amelia location to sit down and eat before attending his game. My husband went with the westerner sandwich with onion Tangier's (which were good but a little salty) side of coleslaw and i ordered a three meet dinner with barbecue beans and potato casserole which were all so yummy! I do have to brag about the roll that comes with the dinners because it melts in your mouth amazingly soft and tasty i could of eaten several of those for sure! We will definitely be back to try other food items! I would of given it a better score but the portions are very minimal.

    Pulled Pork Sandwich

    [TLDR]A counter service chain BBQ with a lot of similarity to City BBQ, but not quite as good[/TLDR] I've stopped into DIckey's a couple of times now and have to say that while I can't say the food was bad, it has been consistently underwhelming, particularly for the price point. If you are in this area and want some real bbq, you can certainly get some here, but I'd recommend you drive a further few miles to Eastgate for City BBQ, or (better still) a couple miles more than that to get to Just Q'in in Newtown. These other options are more or less at the same price point, but serve a better product Interestingly, Dickey's has some things in common with both of the above aside from offering counter-serviced smoked meats. Like City, they are a chain, and also like City, they have warm pots full of three different kinds of bbq sauce, so you sauce your sandwich or plate yourself. Like City, pickles and onions are offered with the sandwiches, but at City these are serve yourself, take as much as you want, whereas at Dickey's, these are packed behind the counter with your order. Dickey's similarity with Just Q'in is the focus on Christianity. While their sandwiches are not named after biblical folks as they are at Just Q'in, Dickey's has a full rack of free religious pamphlets very near the front entrance, and christian rock music playing loudly. I personally don't think either business is intrusive or pushy with this, but I suppose it'd be annoying to some. One thing I really don't like about Dickey's in the brisket, which I found tough dry, and leathery. By default, they serve it diced, which I find odd, but you can order it sliced if you want. The pulled pork is much better. They also have ribs, turkey, and two kinds of sausage, but I haven't tried any of these yet. Arguably the best things about Dickey's is free soft serve ice cream and kids eat free on Sundays.

    Ribs from Dickey's, sauce was included in a side dish to add as the consumer pleases.

    Decided on a whim to DoorDash some BBQ. Dickey's popped up and since I've never had it before, I decided to give it a try. Oh. My. Lord. The ribs were EXCELLENT. Meat that is bursting with flavor and just melts in your mouth. Congratulations, Dickey's Barbecue Pit, you've gained a new fan!

    we had a bit of a bumpy experience, but i won't jump to conclusions. today was their second day of business ... ever. the food was par for the course. -1 for location. we had about an hour drive to get there (rush hour on a friday). +1 for packing the house. there were 30-40 people in front of us in line when we arrived (6:15pm on a friday). +1 for truly smoking their meat. -1 for letting too much smoke escape into the seating area. the smoker is only ~6 feet away from where you place your order. one customer in front of us had trouble keeping her eyes open due to so much smoke. -1 for it taking 55 minutes from walking in the door to sitting down to eat. we were halfway through the line after 25 minutes, and then in the front of the line after another 15. it took 15 minutes from the time we ordered to when we sat down. a couple folks in front of us had large take-out orders, which is understandable. however, it appeared as if the staff members were still figuring out how to serve patrons efficiently. +1 for having tons of staff there. almost too many staffers ... they were nearly tripping over each other. +1 for gracious, friendly staff. not a single staff member appeared frustrated or angry, despite the clear craziness caused by scores of people hungry for barbecue. +1 for dealing with a large volume of customers. when we got close to the front of the line, the owner (patrick) yelled out to the crowd, apologetically, that they're about to run out of pork. (there's a sign that clearly states that, since they make all of their meat in-house daily, sometimes they run out.) patrick told us that they went through 38 pork butts today. that's a lot of butts! thankfully, i got the last helping of pork. (sorry to the folks behind me!) -1 for getting my wife's order wrong ... i think. she ordered a "quarter plate", and that's what the staffers made for her. when we got to the cashier, they told us that it was actually the daily special (which is $1 more expensive). i didn't want to cause a fuss, so i just paid it. regardless of whether they made the wrong plate for my wife, we paid for more than we ordered. +0 for prices. seems on-par with many common barbecue joints. we escaped with meals for two for around $21. -1 for congested drinks area. the barbecue sauces are kept warm near the drinks, so they're not super-accessible. serve-yourself using a ladle. -1 for our food no longer being hot by the time we sat down. likely due to how long it look us to get through the ordering line. +0 for decent barbecue sauces. nothing to call home about. +1 for good waffle fries. lightly seasoned. +0 for portion size. not too small, not overly generous. +1 my wife liked the pork. i thought it was average. +0 for average beef brisket +1 for cleanliness +1 for free yellow plastic drinking cups +1 for free ice cream with every meal. vanilla soft serve. +1 for attentive, friendly staff. we spotted the owner (patrick) greeing many guests. another staffer cleared our table for us. yet another was passing out samples in line to the folks waiting. many more behind the scenes. many of these above gripes will be solved over time. as the staff gets more training and more experience, many of these things will smooth over. at that point, i'd consider updating my review to 4 stars. however, even then, i'm still not sure i'm ready to rank this barbecue among the city's top three. recommended if you're local. otherwise, no need for a drive.

    Brisket. Very moist! We loved it.

I've eaten my way through every smokehouse in Cincinnati, so when I say Midwest Best BBQ is the real deal, believe me. My arteries are practically Yelp-certified. The team of servers and cooks seems like they recruited an entire football team of young men from the University of Cincinnati; service so fast you'd think they were running a two-minute drill, attentive enough to make your mom jealous, and coordinated like they're protecting the quarterback only this time, the quarterback is your pulled-pork sandwich. Their wings, rubs, and sauces? Every single flavor profile was so good I nearly proposed to the coleslaw. And don't get me started on the G-Funk wings. They're delightful, though naming wings after a rap genre means you half expect Dr. Dre to hand you wet wipes. And let's talk about the smoking schedule. They've got a night smoker and a day smoker, which sounds less like a BBQ setup and more like a buddy-cop movie: "Day Smoker plays by the rules, Night Smoker breaks 'em, but together they deliver justice... in the form of brisket." Mark, one of the owners, literally smokes meat during a half-day shift with the love and passion of a Michelin-star chef who moonlights as Cupid. This guy makes ribs like he's serenading them. If Hallmark made a "Brisket Romance" channel, Mark would star in every single movie. I bought several pounds of meat to take home. Not "a pound." Several. Because nothing says "self-control" like hiding a bag of smoked chicken behind your kale in the fridge. Exclamation point. Period. Now, location... ...here's the kicker. They're hidden off the road over a hundred yards. That's right, it's the Area 51 of BBQ. You basically need Google Maps, a Sherpa, and divine intervention to find them. Yet, somehow, when you do, it feels like stumbling upon the Ark of the Covenant... ...only tastier, and fewer Nazis melting. Inside? Casual. TVs locked on Bengals or Reds games, so you can watch disappointment while you eat happiness. Patio? Shaded. Perfect for when you want to sweat from the hot sauce, not the sun. The sides? Top echelon. Beans, slaw, cornbread, each one a little sidekick to the main meat superhero. And for the low-carb crowd, this place is a protein paradise. Keto bros rejoice: you can bench-press your brisket guilt-free. Bottom line: Midwest Best BBQ doesn't just feed you, it baptizes you in smoke, sauce, and joy. And if you're not leaving with meat sweats, did you even go?

We were seated quickly on a Saturday afternoon after attending the New Richmond pride event. Ashlee, our server, was friendly and vivacious and made us feel like we were right at home, despite it being our first time. I got the crab cakes (a weird thing to get I guess but I love crab cakes!). They had no right to be as good as they are at that low price. I also enjoyed the sweet potato fries and Diet Mountain Dew (here's the thing, restaurants with Pepsi - if you're going to disappoint me with Diet Pepsi, at least have Diet Dew to save the day. But I digress). It's a ways out of the way but totally worth it to enjoy the cute town of New Richmond, a view of the river, excellent service, and delicious, affordable food. What are you waiting for?

It comes in two sizes and you have a choice of sauces. My grandson ordered the Grilled Mac'n Cheese with Waffle Fries - from the kids menu. My son ordered the Country Fried Steak with the Mac n Cheese and Rustic Mashed Potatoes. I ordered the Cuban Panini and a side salad. My son and I liked the pulled pork nachos appetizer quite a bit. We didn't leave a bite behind! My grandson liked his meal. My son liked most of his. He said the mac-n-cheese wasn't very good at all. My cuban panini was yummy. My son tried it, liked it and said he'd order it. The salad was fresh and I enjoyed it. My son looked at it and said, "You know I hate salad but that looks so good that I'd eat it." He didn't though. He still hates salad.
