This was our first time coming. It will not be our last. My friend got the queen prime rib with cheesy potatoes and I got the breaded tenderloin with waffle fries that had cheese and bacon on them and I got a peanut butter, masterpiece cake thing and a soda. My bill was only $24.10. I think that's cheap And it was delicious and I have leftovers for a whole other meal for tomorrow. Our server Lauren was wonderful even though they were super busy. She was attentive, kind, and very helpful. I shouldn't say anything because I don't want this place to get so busy that I can't get in but it was wonderful definitely worth the drive.
Who doesn't love some good bbq? The smell of the food is intoxicating. The taste sublime. Whenever I think about BBQ, i think of some delicious ribs... meat falling off the bone... succulent chicken... mouth watering pulled pork. I also think of sharing and spending time with friend and family, its meant to be a communal event that brings people together. As Anthony Bourdain said: "Barbecue may not be the road to world peace, but it's a start." Gibson's exemplifies good BBQ. Came a few times to take food home from here. The burgers are amazing! The ribs... finger lickin good! The pulled pork... i could eat that every day. The food is just wonderful. Place is also cool, its in an old building and the ambience really makes one want to stay. I would definitely love to eat here, but I must warn you... it is always busy and full of customers. You may have to wait a bit. Great place for some good BBQ. Definitely the best Ive had since moving to Ohio.
Operated by brothers whose name fit their fare like blues guitars fit BBQ, Gibson's is one of THOSE joints--ones found in small towns throughout Ohio. A mom-and-pop specializing in southern-country-rural fare, it exists in an old building snugged in downtown Convoy--a village in west Van Wert County. The only thing it's missing from being a classic example of such is institutional status; Gibson's, birthed from a catering biz in operation for several years, opened in April 2018. I came over with the folks on a Saturday afternoon. The owners have the place looking good. The front is adorned with barn wood around an antique wood door, and with a 'frontier-ish' marquee hanging over the sidewalk, one is reminded of western saloons from old movies. The inside didn't escape an eye for environment. I do not know neither what the space was originally for, nor if the fixtures are original, but the place is busting out with art deco and other early 20th century styles--especially the geometric proportioned ceiling tiles and the neo-gothic designs of the bar. Such designs, surprisingly, do not clash with the country decor; slate boards with chalk, barn door signs, wagon wheel light fixtures, and beer signs all seem to blend in naturally with the architecture. The red walls suggest a warm comfort, as string light suggest relaxation and laughs. Gibson's offer a variety of seating: long tables for groups, four seaters in the back for smaller parties, and wood stools at the gorgeous bar. The staff on duty when we came were all related family members. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and timely. Our server gave us the specials--but we were all jonesing for pulled pork. I asked about their drafts and was very delighted ( and surprised) to hear they had an IPA to pour. ( in fact they had a couple crafts and ales.) other than Yuengling, they didn't have mainstream domestics on tap. My order was delicious, plentiful, and served with an eye to detail. The pulled pork was perfectly produced. Though sauce offered at the table was only decent, the flavor of the pork dominated the sandwich and was so good. The mushroom were bigger than I expected. They were uber juicy and went well ranch dressing. I tried some of my mother's fried green beans--they were good. Excellent, excellent meal. The environment and people found here are what you expect for a place in a small town. The owners father, a seventy year old man with sparkle in his eyes took the time to speak to us. He shared detail of his life and was a classic good guy, bullshitter, warm souled with charisma. His son, the owner, met us on the way out. He highly suggest prime rib--sounds like something he is proud of. I will absolutely try that the next time.
Best cut of meat that I have had in a long time. The smoked flavor was outstanding. My plan is to go every Friday at 4:30 pm to enjoy the smoked Prime Rib, Garlic Buttered Redskin Potatoes & Broccoli. I also get a cup of soup to go as the meat added is also smoked. Excellent working staff as well. Note: Quality is per par with price. ***** FIVE STARS ***** Jeff F. Celina, OH
Tonight they had a special of all you can eat smoked chicken quaters with 2 sides for $9.00. Side options were mac&cheese, cheesy potatoes, chuck wagon beans, and red skin potatoes. It was very good. They have 3 bbq sauces - original (sweet traditional), strawberry habanero, and pineapple. See photo of menu for regular items - pulled chicken and pork, brisket, burger, pork tenderloin etc. The building is not far from the main intersection in Convoy. It's an old building thats very clean with wagon wheel lights hanging from the ceiling. It has a bar side and family dining. The staff is very friendly. It's a family business. They do catering too. We enjoyed the food and will return!

Met friends there on an early Friday evening. Starting to get busy, but service was good. Looked for a menu before we went, but could only find the one they give you, but bbq is not on it. They should post on their FB page or something. Split the full rack of ribs with hubby. Ribs were good. Came with 2 sides (board did not indicate this). The fried potatoes as a side were ok, but received very small portion. Had cottage cheese as second side. Nice serving of that. Worst part of meal was the margarita. 4 of us at the table had margaritas (special for the night). No matter the flavor (we had 3 of them), they were not good: tooooo sweet and no tequila. Also, they only take cash. Again, something that should be obviously stated on their FB page since they don't have a website. Most of us liked our food, but skip the margaritas and bring cash. Not sure we'll travel 45+ minutes to return. read more

Great food! Awesome customer service! A must see inside restaurant with beautiful wood bar and tables. The owners & staff put in hard work & it shows with food that is so delicious! The most flavorful prime rib on Saturday night. Even though their name says BBQ, their haddock is great. Our table also ordered the fresh sausage sandwich which they said had outstanding flavor. We are so glad our friends introduced us to this restaurant! Try it, you won't be disappointed. read more
