BBQ in Newport? Heck ya! This is awesome stop with bar, tables, atmosphere and great food and service. Had lunch on a Friday (only day they are open) and the special is an entre, side and drink for $7. And it's a ton of food. And delicious. Met Joe Webb the owner and had a great time. Rachel is super nice and made the lunch hour breeze by. Make a point on Fridays to stop in!! And right across the street from a record store to boot! read more

I am giving a 4 star due to -amazing hospitality and friendliness by everyone, owner included -fantistic prices -maybe best cobbler on earth -easy vibe, easy parking -cheap drinks What is lacking -zero smoke flavor on ribs and brisket. Like he cooked them in an oven after boiling -fat cap on brisket hadn't rendered -no smoke ring I will be back hope the bbq improves. Still love the vibe and love supporting local family run business read more

I have been 5 starring a lot lately. But man we have been on a roll with great picks. Webb's BBQ. These folks can make some serious BBQ. I had them cater my retirement party, and Joe knocked it out of the park. From pulled pork, ribs, brisket, and all the sides, everything was delicious. They drove from Newport, Ky to Springfield, Ohio for the event. Professionally done. All the food was hot, and abundant. If your hankering you can head over to Webb's BBQ, but here is the rub (no pun intended), they are only open Friday's from 11:00 AM - 8:00 PM. So get there early and enjoy! read more

Love Webb's so much that we have deemed Friday to be called Webb's Day in our house. It's something we look forward to each week. People are kind and friendly here. BBQ is outstanding. I get the potato with turkey and it's very filling! read more

The picture should be all this review needs. Delicious brisket sandwich and very friendly staff! read more

Webb's BBQ - The picture should be enough said! Delicious and great service! - Barbeque Near Me - Newport, Kentucky

The food was absolutely amazing! The service, top notch. I went in there today, which they're normally not open and got corned beef and cabbage, which I didn't get cabbage, and the lady that helped me was so super nice. I went and sat down at the table because I ordered my food to go, and she called me by my first name. Absolutely amazing when I walked out of the place. The owner was like I hope you liked it. I was like oh my gosh, it was absolutely amazing. read more

Get. The. Ribs. OMG, whatever they use for a Rub, once it caramelizes into a bark, is genius!! Among the best, if not THE best ribs I've had. More tender than Eli's, firmer than Montgomery Inn. The meat comes off the bone fairly easily, but doesn't plop right off like the Ribs King. Tender, delicious, and that caramelized bark! Ok, ribs mentioned. Next, their hours. They are only open for ~9 hours per week, only on Fridays. 11:30am to 9:00pm. I'm sure that every single other review has mentioned this anomaly. Even Sweets & Meats and Ron D's are open more days than this. The rest. All sides are house made. Coursely cut cole slaw, baked beans (with peaches?!), Mac/chz, cheddar/jalapeño grits, green beans, cornbread. And a big duh, of course they have other smoked meats. Pulled pork, brisket, wings, 1/2 chickens, turkey?. All that I've had have been very good, though the chicken breast was kind-of dry. So plan ahead, and block out some time on a Friday to get down to Newport and get some good Cue! Sampler Platter will run you about $20 with generous portions of 3 meats and 2 sides. You will not be able to finish this. But if you do, they also have desserts. Credit cards and cash accepted. read more

We ordered Webb's BBQ for our annual Labor Day Party, and the raves we received about the food were constant from literally everyone! We ordered the pulled pork, brisket (the BEST I've ever had!!), chicken wings and their pig candy. Our guests just kept going on and on about how delicious it ALL was!! Every time I looked around at our guests, someone had a piece of bacon in their hand and were shaking their heads about how good it was! Joe and his wife were so gracious and certainly helped us to make our party a great success! We will be ordering Webb's for our parties going forward (I think our guests would be disappointed if we didn't!) Thanks Joe!! read more

I've been wanting to try Webb's for quite some time and finally stopped in. My fiancé and I each got the lunch special. He went with the pulled pork and French fries and I tried the brisket and mac and cheese. There was tons of food and it was so tasty. I would highly recommend the mac and cheese. Next time, I would like to try the smoked turkey. They were sold out today, but we're definitely wanting to go back! read more

My first visit to Webb's. Fantastic!! I had a brisket sandwich. The meat was piled high and absolutely delicious!! Fall apart tender! The sauces were yummy. Loved my side of collard greens. Can't wait to visit again!! read more

Webb's BBQ - Brisket sandwich and greens - Barbeque Near Me - Newport, Kentucky

[TLDR]A local no-frills family-owned bbq joint with reasonable prices and some truly excellent pulled pork, only open on Friday[/TLDR] Yep - they are only open on Fridays. Don't bother heading to the former location of Detroit Joes in Newport any other day of the week, because the husband and wife team running the place took the advice I get every time I try to sing and kept their day jobs, and they take the weekends off. It is certainly an unusual arrangement for a restaurant, but they've been making it work for about a year now. There are no menus - you order at the counter in the front room off a huge chalk menuboard with all the available eats that day, and items are scratched off as they run out. Tables are mostly communal picnic tables. Plates are wax-paper lined baskets, silverware is limited to the much-maligned spork, and every table sports a roll of paper napkins and squeeze bottles of their two sauces - hickory (KC Style) and vinegar (Carolina style). If you are able to get down to Newport on a Friday (and try to go for lunch, some items sell out well before dinner time) you are in for a treat. They smoke 6 meats - pork, pork ribs, brisket, turkey breast, chicken wings, and sausage - every Friday and offer a single serving of any of these for 6 bucks, and all meats are also available by the pound. Sides are 1.50, and a piece of cornbread will run you just 75 cents. Canned sodas are a buck, or 1.50 if you prefer a bottle of that regional specialty, Ale-8-One. Desserts - they usually have a fruit cobbler available - are excellent and just 2 bucks. As of my initial review, have tried all of the meats except the wings and the sausage, and every one of them has been good to very good. The best of the bunch is the pulled pork, which comes in fewer but larger pieces than at Eli's; and I mention Eli's here because I love Eli's puled pork and I think the pulled pork here is its equal. The brisket is also quite good, though a bit chewier, less tender than I'd prefer. The ribs are quite a bit meatier but not as moist and tender as Elis, and its worth mentioning that the same 6 bucks that gets you two bones at Elis gets you three here. It is sad however that a full slab will cost you the same per bone - $24 a slab is quite a bit on the pricey side. The turkey was decent, but a bit dry with a hard outer crust and not much smoke flavor. As of my second review, I have also tried the sausage and the wings. I love the sausages - rough-ground pork, smoked in house, excellent snap, delicious. I think the wings might be an acquired taste for some, because they are not breaded, not fried, and not tossed in sauce; all of which seemed to be required elements for wings here in Cincinnati. These are rubbed and smoked (and I think grilled briefly just before plating? thats just my guess, though) and not tossed in sauce. Like everything else here, nothing is pre-sauced, but it can be added. The smoke flavor on these is very subtle, but they were nonetheless decently good, particularly with a little of both of the sauces dripped onto them I liked both of the sauces, but I can't say that that I'd choose either one as one of the best in town. The hickory is a thick smokey catsup based sauce like what most of us think of as BBQ sauce, and the Carolina sauce is a very tangy thin sauce made primarily with vinegar plus a little tomato paste and some spices, similar to what you'd get when served bbq in Lexington, NC. I didn't like the sides nearly as well, but the jalapeno cheese grits were decently good and not as spicey hot as one might expect.. To be fair, I saw folks come in specifically for the mac-n-chese both times while I was there, but I was unimpressed with this side and recommend you skip it. The peach cobbler for dessert is a terrific, but I did not like the blackberry nearly as well - the owner (Joe) assures me this was an aberration and I should try it again next time I am in. And I will. I don't usually include safety tips in a review, but the steps in front are a little weird/choppy, so watch your step when entering/exiting here. Parking is a bit difficult, but the unmarked log behind the building is your best bet if you can find a spot. The majority of the other spaces nearby are metered Recommended read more

So I have been looking for the best brisket near me and even though it took what seemed like a hour to get 2 sandwiches to go I have to say they have made a fan. The brisket was very moist and tasted awesome. We waited awhile and I am glad. Next time we will have to get a seat and try more of the food. Only 4 star because it was very hot and had to wait a long time but the food spoke for it self. read more

The food was absolutely outstanding! The best bbq I've had in a long time! The ribs were beautifully done, the wings were exceptional, the brisket and pulled pork were both great. Should you go, do not skip the cobbler!! Ohh and the baked beans were lithe best I've ever had! read more

Webb's BBQ - Pulled pork & brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Newport, Kentucky

They're open on Friday's only from 11 until the food runs out. Lunch special until 3pm is $8 for meat, side and a drink. I had the brisket and jalapeño cheddar grits. The brisket was some of the best I've ever had. Tender with a perfect bark. The grits left a lot to be desired unfortunately. Honey had 1/3 slab ribs with macncheese and baked beans. The ribs and mac were really good. The baked beans were delicious. They have peaches in them! We will definitely be back. read more

Another one of those hidden gems that you should definitely try. Webb's is only open for business on Friday's, starting at 11:00 until they run out of food in the evening. Went there the other day. Menu choices are the basic core BBQ items: brisket, ribs, pulled pork, chicken and also turkey and chicken wings. Menu is listed on a caulk board and when they run out of an item they just cross it off the board. They had a lunch special. $7 for sandwich, side and drink. Can't beat that price. Being my first time there I wanted to try several items so I got the 3 item sample, which included 2 sides. I got the brisket, ribs and chicken wings. For sides I went with the fries and coleslaw. My wife got the turkey sandwich. Food was incredible. Brisket: I like how they serve it. Rather than thinly sliced meats, which many places do, they served big chunks of meat. It was tender and delicious. Ribs: very meat and tender. Chicken wings are smoked. Very tasty Fries were good. Coleslaw was thick pieces of cabbage with a mild sauce (not a lot of mayo) - yummy. I got all that for just under $20. I expected a small serving of each meat, what I got was a large serving of each meat. It was basically 3 lunch servings. Took a lot of left overs home. Also, came with a buttered / toasted bun - perfect for sandwiches. My wife's turkey sandwich was great. She said it was better than another BBQ place in town, which was her favorite. Had a chance to meet the owner, Joe. Really nice guy and working to give people great BBQ at a very reasonable price. He has definitely achieved it. Hope in the future he will start opening more days, in the meantime, I have a new favorite place for lunch on Fridays. read more

Webb's BBQ catered my wedding reception and were absolutely wonderful to work with! Easy communication, great prices, delicious food (so many compliments from guests!), and awesome service the day of! We had nearly 250 guests to feed and Joe made everything seamless. Would absolutely recommend! Thank you for helping make it an amazing day for us! read more

Webb's BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Newport, Kentucky

Every Friday, most of my co-workers and I sojourn to Webb's for lunch. All the sides are stellar and the pulled pork and wings are my favorite entrees. Fun space to hang out for food in, and also great and timely carry out. They also cater and I've enjoyed that on a couple occasions! Come here every Friday and one day they might be able to be open more often!! read more

Delicious BBQ. No one in our group had any complaints about any of the food. The pulled pork is great, the brisket is delicious, the cornbread pieces that they serve are very large. This will sound weird, but I liked the feel of the restaurant. You walked in and it felt like a place that serves great BBQ.y only complaint is that it isn't open more days a week. But, if I'm craving it on a Friday, this is where you will find me. read more

Fantastic, melt in your mouth pork! Authentic collard greens! If u are looking for phenomenal BBQ in the area, head here...on a FRIDAY only! :( Tangy vinegar based BBQ is addicting. The only downside, is the one day open, and the interior back dinning area is a bit dark. But I'm sure cozy in the winter. Patio out back. A definite must try! read more

Great tasting BBQ! We had the sampler. Beef brisket, pulled pork and chicken. Secret recipe house sauce is different than any BBQ sauce I've tasted. Large portions, affordable prices. Service was awesome. We were treated like family! Will definitely go back. Thanks Joe read more

Webb's BBQ has catered two events for us. One for our company function and the other was our personal Super Bowl gathering. Both times the food was AMAZING! Joe takes extra care in assuring quality, taste, service and fairly priced items. The ribs and shredded BBQ are extremely flavorful, tender, and moist. It is apparent that Joe puts everything he has into creating receipes that are an absolute homerun. Webb's is now our go to BBQ spot. read more

I never knew this place exited until my nephew decided he wanted to order their brisket and Mac n cheese for thanksgiving. I'm so glad he did! Both were amazing. They have gained a new customer! read more

Excellent in every way...absolutely love the Turkey and greens and Mac n cheese and the lovely cornbread read more

Webb's BBQ - Great food - Barbeque Near Me - Newport, Kentucky

First visit. This is some awesome BBQ. I ordered a plate with brisket, ribs, and wings. Beyond fantastic. Smoke mild but perfect. Brisket cut like butter. Ribs had just the right bite. Wings out of this world. Slaw, baked beans, and greens were the perfect match and all were delicious. Homemade vinegar sauce is excellent and the hickory bbq sauce didn't take over the meat. Not that any was needed. Great price for how much food I received. Staff was very friendly. Don't miss out on this one. read more

We were pleasantly surprised to find out about Webb's from one of our neighbors. They're only open on Friday's so we hadn't realized they opened up. My wife and I loved the food and were happy to see another neighborhood restaurant open up. We tried the Ribs and the Pulled Pork, and thought both were excellent. The cost is very reasonable... $6/entree. We live just down the street and were carrying-out, but there looked to be plenty of seating and the place had a cool rustic vibe. Nothing special, but definitely look forward to going back. Also, was happy to see that they had a beer selection that included some local offerings. Don't quote me on the cost, but I think they were pretty reasonable. If you like BBQ, it's definitely worth checking out. We're looking forward to going back and trying the Brisket, which looked amazing. read more

We love Webb's and eat there almost every other Friday. Joe and his family are amazing and they genuinely care about their patrons. I always stick with the pulled pork sandwich but everything I've sampled from other's plates is equally as amazing. It's a small, family owned business and when you come to Webb's you get welcomed into their community of great people and food! read more

Webbs BBQ is truly good BBQ. The owner wood smokes everything in a smoker out back and it's the kind of attention to cooking and putting in the time that makes a person crave pulled pork. The restaurant has a great hometown feel. Know that they are currently open only on Fridays, so choose a Friday and make it there! They cater too. read more

Great little bbq shack in Newport.

Hands down me and my wife's favorite place to eat. It has a great atmosphere, amazing food and the staff make the whole experience well worth the 7 day wait. read more

The food is great and the people seem to be great as well. I have been here twice now. The first visit I waited 35 minutes for a to go order for one person. The second time me and my family of four waited just under an hour from when we ordered and the place was not very full on either occasion. I let them know that we waited for 55 minutes and they offered me an apology and told me that they were very busy. I want to like and support this small business but the service is just too poor. We will likely not ever be back. read more

*They are only open to sit down customers on Friday currently*. This is the best BBQ in Newport! Small menu, but all the meats are good. They know how to smoke, including chicken wings. It is family owned and they are very friendly! Check this place out, you won't be disappointed. read more

Great pulled pork and Brisket. All moist and the spicy bbq sauce is good. Compares to some of the best I have ever had in Georgia! Collards are good. Only thing needed is some pepper sauce for the greens. read more

Great pulled pork! We arrived about 6:45p.m., that was our mistake. Unfortunately, most of the items were already sold out for the day. Next time we will arrive much earlier so we can try more of the menu items. read more

It's a bbq place and there was no bbq sauce on either sandwich I purchased. I bought the pulled pork and turkey. The macaroni and cheese was like kfc macaroni cheese. The vinegar sauce tasted like some kinda salad dressing. The greens were ok. ANDDDD ....only open on friday...mediocre at best. read more

The Eli's of Northern KY. This is a hidden gem only open on Fridays! Must check it out. The baked beans are cooked with peppers and peaches and the Cole slaw is made with thick cut cabbage. Delicious. Oh yea, the pork and brisket are flavorful and tender; plus the bbq sauce itself (vinegarette based or sweet) rivalries something from the Deep South. read more

This is a nice barbecue spot in Newport. I wish they were opened more than one day a week so they would have more time to perfect their craft. I really was a fan of the rustic interior and adequate lighting, but, the front entrance was tough to navigate as several people were standing in an open space waiting on carry out orders. It continued to get crowded, so I felt in the way and didn't know where to go to get out of the way. The pork was very flavorful and I actually preferred it without the sauce which was a vinegar base...tasty, but not my style. The prices are quite reasonable so I will be back! read more

The brisket is killer, and the fish is great! The sauces are spot on! Will surely be back! Thanks, Joe!! Great people, great food!!!

Love this place! The ribs are off the hook with rub that doesn't need sauce. Pulled pork is awesome. The portions are generous and the prices are low, low, low. The owners are wonderful people who are genuinely glad to see you. You won't be sorry if you stop in here. read more

Just want to give everyone a heads up. I had lunch at Sugarfire in Union. It was average at best. Typical chain, massed produced smoked meats, expensive and dry. I've tried all smoked meats in the area. I traveled all over the US before I retired. I enjoy smoked meats. Hands down, Webb's is the place to go. What's not to love, good family running the business that cares, great food, great atmosphere, nothing pretentious, just honest to good smoked meats. My hats off to the Webb family! read more

I really wanted to like this place, as I love bbq and there aren't many options in the area. We got pulled pork, ribs , and brisket. I would rate them as follows; pork (5/10), ribs (4/10), brisket (0/10). Pulled pork was fine and the kids seemed to like it. Ribs were disappointing as there was zero smoke flavor and the meat was way beyond fall off the bone, as it was pretty mushy. Brisket also had no smoke flavor and was very dry and tough, borderline inedible. The fat cap hadn't rendered at all so there was a hard 1" layer of fat on top of each slice. The one bright spot is that it was very affordable. 1/2 lb pork, 1/2 lb brisket, and a full rack of ribs for under $30. read more
