ALL the food is AMAZING! I wish they had a buffet because it's so hard to decide what to get, like I said it's all amazing! Their service is OUTSTANDING! Never seen a friendlier bunch! If you don't have room for dessert, take some home! You will be happy you did! read more

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

We just finished eating dinner here and it was very delicious. We had the 1/2 slab ribs and the haddock. Excellent dinners and the sides were also great. We would highly recommend Gibsons for a dinner night out. The waitress was very friendly as well. But be sure to take cash. read more

Drove over from Indy to check it out . I had family that used to live in Convoy and we needed a road trip. I was very impressed. Food was great and service was great. The ambiance was rockin too. It was busy. I would recommend and hope to go back sometime. read more

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. read more

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. read more

THE best BBQ. My favorite is the pulled pork sandwich with a side of cheesey potatoes. My husband loves the ribs. It gets busy fast, so call ahead or get there early. read more

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 read more

Gibson's Barnyard BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Convoy, Ohio

Best prime rib ever! Staff was friendly and made our visit a great overall experience! We will be back!

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. read more

They truly have the best steak around! And my wife loves their brisket. We drive 35min just to go out to eat there.

Very good food and large portions with very reasonable prices for both entrees and appetizers. We will be back.

The food was fantastic.. The staff were also fantastic. I don't remember the last time I've had such great service.

Let's start by saying it is superb to say the least. Walking through the front door you are greeted with a spectacular BBQ aroma! Walking by a stunning aged oak bar tells you this is someplace special. I am not particular to prime rib so I had my mind made up for a rack of ribs. A wonderful lady Lori gave me the hard sell on the. Prime Rib !!!! I died an went to Heaven! Perfectly cooked , flavored it is in a league of its own. These folks do Prime Rib right. World class food in downtown Convoy! Can't wait to go back!!!! AAA+ read more

We stopped in last week thinking it would be a nice little neighborhood spot, oh boy did we get a surprise. This place is loaded with beautiful pieces of handmade countertops, bar stools, ceiling is gorgeous bought out of NY. The woman's restroom was so awesome I made my husband come check it out. Then comes the food,,, it was totally mind blowing. Mr. Gibson is a perfectionist at decorating but much more than that he is a fanatic when it comes to what he serves to his customers. He talked to us and shared so many stories on his receipes and how different dishes were prepared. He just was a true delight to visit with. If you been there you know what I am talking about and if you haven't been there, you are missing out on some very special dishes. Trust me ... you won't be disappointed!! Thank You Tom for giving us some of your time. Becky & Dick read more

Awesome place with great bbq! Family owned with great atmosphere... owner did beautiful job on woodwork in the bar!!

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! 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
