Omg where do I begin?My fam had a picnic at Edens Park and we all agreed on bbq.So they picked Alabama Que. Let me tell you , I've been spoiled rotten. The potato salad is delicious. I could eat an entire tub. The potatoes were cooked perfect. Seasoned perfect. The yams... mmmm mmm reminds me of Thanksgiving. The brisket... mmmm mm I had it in gold sauce. The pulled bbq.. mmmm. The food is delicious and plan to take a nap afterwards... ill remember to take next time. Please come to Maryland and replace Mission plz !!

Order from Alaba Que after trying different bbq places. Had high expectations but I wasn't to impressed.We ordered turkey tips, pulled chicken, and a side of green beans. Pulled chicken wasn't soft and yummy, it was dry and lacked flavor. The turkey tips were well seasoned though. The greens were decent but not the best. Portions were smaller than expected but the main thing for me was the pulled chicken. Not sure if I would give it another shot.

My experience was great here. I was in town for a marathon and needed something somewhat clean but good taste and good portions. First, the place is small and not the best for large parties or really eating in, but dine in is available. All of your food will come in to go style( packaged and bagged) the menu. I decided to stop in because not to many places offer smoked turkey tips! The turkey tips were amazing. Full of flavor NO SAUCE NEEDED as a bbq spot should be. I also had the smoked salmon, which was ok. The sides I had were the greens cabbage mixed, which were tender and seasoned. With such a good experience for my tastebuds, I had an even better experience having a life conversation with the owner. Just hearing his background and getting his views on life made me a fan of his brand as a whole. Whenever I'm in the area, I'll definitely stop in for good food and vibes.

Recommended. This is a must-visit near UC campus for several reasons. First, the turkey tips were terrific. If you're like me, you probably go to a BBQ place to order brisket or pork. They've got it and I imagine it's good. But I hadn't had turkey tips, the healthier option, before. When I met the owner, he recommended them as a top seller. I see why. And the sauce has heat options; I found the MEDIUM sauce had the right heat for me. The Mac&Cheese was great, too. The icing on the cake was talking with the owner and staff; thoughtful people that I liked doing business with. I felt respected -- and full of delicious BBQ. I'll be back.

We got turkey tips, yams, mac and cheese, one corn bread, and a cobbler. Tons of food, the Mac yams cornbread and cobbler were good, the turkey tips were... overhyped. The thing that kinda messed up the experience is that they are not mindful of how they pack messy food like this for take-out. A huge amount of sauce leaked all over the inside of the bag and made a huge mess in our hotel room.

Food was very tasty. The pork and turkey tips were plentiful and flavorful. The sides were fantastic and I have to rave about the potato salad. If it's scratch made I hope to buy it by the quart.

Well.... I'm staying downtown Cincy this weekend and in was told by a hotel employee to go to this location. When I was walking up, I could smell the BBQ which is usually a great sign, because believe it or not, not all BBQ joints exemplify this trait surprisingly. When I walked in, the first thing I noticed was the small size of the building with hardly any seating inside. There appeared to be some seating outside, but only a few bar seats. And on a cold day like this one, I had to settle at the bar. The problem with that was the lack of being able to enjoy my food without feeling like someone was in top of me. Whether that was someone waiting after they ordered, or a door dash person picking up, didn't matter. My favorite part is when folks are oblivious or lack manners and decide to blast their phone conversation or YouTube video in my ear hole. Ok, on to the food: The selection is pretty grim, and when I asked simple questions such as 'Is the brisket fatty or lean', or 'Is the chicken white meat or dark meat', I didn't get answers.... Kinda crazy right? So I settled for Rib tips which is not usual for me. What kind of BBQ place doesn't have slabs of ribs?! Yikes. I'd give the rib tips a 3/5 due to the dryness and thinness of the chunks themselves. Not great flavor, and needed sauce to accompany each bite. Now I'll say this, and if you're reading this you'll agree.... Like a solid cooked steak, solid cooked ribs shouldn't NEED sauce because of how good the seasoning is on it. The sides however were the highlight of the meal. The green beans were great and the mac and cheese were pretty good too! Oh and the sweet tea wasn't bad once I finally got it, but it was a touch watered down because it was sitting in a fridge premade with other drinks. All in all, I wouldn't go back to this place personally, at least at this particular location. But if the owner commented on here and invited me back with a meal comp... sure I'd give it another shot. Otherwise, on to the next spot.

Best experience in Cincinnati ... owner talks to customers and treats everyone like humans .... Down to earth ... expect honesty and good food

Great brisket & pork tips.Delicious sides--Mac & cheese, beans, & Cole slaw.Staff was friendly & efficien.
