Are you Hungry?? Cincinnati has BBQ

I was in Saint Louis last fall and enjoyed some delicious BBQ at a place called Pappy's Smokehouse. Pappy's was featured on "Man vs. Food."  They serve authentic smoked BBQ in a dive, in the city.  Loud blues music was playing inside and the floors were concrete.  Pictures of famous celebrities eating at Pappy's were displayed on the walls along with some very eclectic items.  I thought "Cincinnati needs a Pappy's".  Well,  little did I know that we have something very close in a dive called  Eli's BBQ.   You can find Eli's at 3313 Riverside Drive in Cincinnati.  You can't miss it, look for the pink building with the pig sign.  Also, you can find a carry out Eli's at the Findlay Market. 

 















Eli's serves up authentic smoked BBQ.  Dining is inside or outside weather permitting, you can enjoy this delicious feast under some white tents set up out back or dine inside, while listening to music on the 1980's style stereo.


 Inside there is some fantastic memorabilia lining the walls and red and black checkered floors.  Outside stand two old bathtubs painted yellow and filled with shrubs. 

The food is delicious and affordable. The menu includes: Pulled pork, smoked turkey, Hot dogs, Hickory smoked ribs, and sides.  The cole slaw, Jalapeno corn bread and jalapeno cheddar grits came highly recommended and didn't disappoint!   Eli's also does catering!  If you are hungry and looking for some authentic smoked BBQ give this place a try.  I am sure you'll love it and want to come back for more.
