The bar is to the left and a few booths are to the right. A few more booths are in the back beyond the bar. You go to the bar to place your orders. The food was simple and delicious. We tried the bee sting (specialty pulled pork sandwich) and the sliced brisket sandwich, as well as the fresh bbq beans, light and flaky cornbread muffins, and the crisp sidewinder fries. Everything was wonderful and the beer was ice cold! Additional sauces are on table, enjoy!

Hmmm. First...great location and great bartenders and staff... some of the nicest people I have…read moreever met. They were attentive and all had great energy. The decor and energy in the room was great! The food was slightly above average. My sis had two different types of ribs. My niece had the jack fruit sandwich. I had the brisket Philly. My Philly was okay. There was nothing crazy good about it. I would not go back for it. The ribs were meaty and tasty but, again, not anything to write home about. My niece did not like her sandwich. All in all, I would g g I back to the bar because of the wonderful bartender. But I would order something other than what we ordered. The portions were ample. So that's positive....but I have had better. They get three stars, largely driven by how fun it is and because of the bartenders - not the food.

I got the 2 loaded hot dogs with mac & cheese & mashed potatoes - my meal came to be 14$. The hot dogs were so good - the perfect snap on the meat and the toppings complimented it so well the perfect amount of sweetness and no soggy bun! The mac and cheese is basic in my opinion - nothing to write home about . The mashed potatoes were very good and I like how they finish them off on the grill to give a little cripsy crust. The staff was nice enough and checked on the table often - the place was clean and i like how they still have the record machine to control the music in the dining room. I haven't been here in years and I am honestly not sure why because it was delicious!

I wish I would have tried something else The house pickles and onions are a nice accompaniment- The deviled egg potato salad and broccoli salad were "meh" and the portions are very small. The best part of the meal was the buttered bread- Did like the location change- it was an upgrade from the previous one- I will go back EVENTUALLY- but it's gonna take some time to forget this meal -

The decor is dark and rich. Perfect for a "bourbon bar." They have curated the most comprehensive bourbon collection I've seen in a long time- Debbie recommended the Nashville Outlaw Hot honey Sandwich- it was smoking and paired well w/pepper jack cheese- I consider myself a coleslaw aficionado and theirs was some of the creamiest-I could tell it was made fresh daily- Fries were lukewarm-but still okay-

The food wasn't bad, it just didn't leave a lasting impression. The meat was dry. I'm not sure what I expected to taste, but I was under impressed. Mac & Cheese was bland.

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?
