So disappointing! We had company come in from out of town and asked for this. Pulled pork was so dry even the BBQ sauce didn't help. Ribs were dry and burned. Cornbread was completely black on bottom, burned and just crumbled. No ate the catering!! Do jot order!!

This food was killer, couple things could improve it further. Maybe more bread options and a cheese option or two. The ribs and pulled pork were by far the highlight of the meal... the mac and cheese and mash potatoes were amazing... not find of the beans, but that's personal preference. One of my group mentioned the Cole slaw wasnt very good but I have no opinion on that one.

Ribs were good, pulled pork sandwich was juicy and amazing with the bbq on it but still had an odd flavor like grape jelly mixed with bbq. Coleslaw went in the trash, mashed potatoes were FANTASTIC. Baked beans had an odd taste, like tacos. Tasted like a lot of cumin in them. Wasn't a fan of the baked beans but my husband liked them. Service was great, friendly staff. Received our order within about 10-15 minutes. Overall, I'll probably return next time I'm in cinci. One other thought is I wish there was a regular corn bread option, or a toast option. Need more starch/bread options. Not a fan of spicy things or I would've gotten the jalapeño cornbread. Mac and cheese was cheesy and delightful.

The pulled pork sandwich did not disappoint. For $7 you get about 3 sandwiches worth of good pulled pork. I definitely recommend it!

So this location was Findlay Market. The Riverside location was suggested to me but this location was closer to where I was at. Trying to find a parking spot was ridiculous. But I arrived and the wait staff at the register was prompt and courteous. I ordered the rib tips, baked beans and Mac/Cheese. I ordered extra sauce because the rib tips arrive as dry in the box. They were very flavorable and smoked. The texture of the meat was very good, not overly done or chewy. I would pass on the Mac/Cheese when I return. Just a little too Velveeta for me. That withstanding, a very fulfilling experience. I can't wait to try their ribs. I'll be back.

Well waited about 20mins and my rib tips were so hard and burnt I literally would’ve broken a tooth trying to eat them. They were so wrong to pack them up as if they were actually edible.

I usually visit a place 3 times before leaving a bad review. My two previous experiences with this establishment have all been the same. Dry oversalted flavorless rib tips. I don't understand these reviews that say "best BBQ in the city". I tossed my uneaten plate and went to another restaurant. Why would I ask to replace it, so i could receive more of the same? I would not want another meal from here. I've noticed that the standard reply here is something along the lines of "this isn't our standard of service" but I can assure you it is.

This was a recommendation and he was right, the bbq in Cincinnati is going up. The food was awesome I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and ribs and we loved it.Flavor texture etc. Only downside is that there's no dine in. I will pass on thee recommendation. I don't live in Cincinnati but I have to go frequently and I will be visiting this place as soon as I'm back there. Also the service is very good.

We used Eli's BBQ Catering for our wedding and could not have been happier! Allison was super helpful throughout the entire process. The food was delicious and quite affordable. The staff were kind and were happy to help to clear off plates from the tables and left the venue very clean. Would recommend to anyone looking for an off-premise caterer.

Mashed potatoes and jalapeño cheddar grits are good sometimes they don't know what Consistency is .
