Eli's BBQ - Findlay

I've only experienced Eli's through delivery apps I'm not sure what the atmosphere is like. The food however is delicious! I opted for the Pulled pork sandwich, baked beans, jalapeno cornbread, and slaw. My sandwich came with a mountain of savory pulled pork. I mean MOUNTAIN! Everything was just delicious!

Don't miss this easy to walk by delicious spot outside the Findlay Market. I read up a bit about it online before we went to the market and thought the jalapeño cornbread and cheesy jalapeño grits sounded tempting. Simple menu with just a few options but all you really need. We stopped in and placed our order. Waited 10 minutes and it was ready just in the time the girl taking our order said. The food looked good and tasted even better. The cornbread was delicious. The grits were very flavorful. Didn't have to add anything to them. I had the hotdogs with slaw and pork cracklings. Delicious. There was a generous portion of pulled pork on the sandwich. The BBQ sauce was delicious. The beans tasted better than they looked. The Mac n cheese was ooey gooey just the way I like it. Would for sure eat here again.

I wish I could add a photo here. I just spent 16.00 on rib tips that look like Jerry. Very unsatisfied to the point of never ordering again. Because I ordered through Uber Eats, I was told good luck, take it up with them. This experience was a fail on all levels.

One of the best bbq places i tried while in Cincinnati!My husband is a big bbq fan so while planning this trip I researched who has good bbq, a few diff places popped up but this one was consistently in the top. And we were not disappointed!At this point in our trip I was tired of pork and opted for the turkey and WOW. Turkey is known to be easy to mess up, it gets hard and dry quickly, but this was hands down the best turkey I've ever had. I wish it would replace the thanksgiving turkey!!! The beans and mac n cheese were also delicious. There was no aspect of the food that wasn't good. The space itself is small and only allows you to pick up your food, you have to scrounge around findlay market to find a seat. I'm not sure if they change this for the colder months, but during warm weather when everyone and their mom is out and about its hard to find a seat! We managed to grab a standing table nearby. Overall: Highly recommend. Theres a chocolate shop a few doors down and I would make a trip just to get Eli's and the choc. shop!

Sauce is what makes these ribs. Not too sweet, big flavors. The actual ribs were tasty but I do wish they fell off the bones a bit more. I do love that I can order bones by number and not nearly half or full. Great for portioning and having ribs for a snack.

They have a location at Findlay Market!! And every time I'm down here I can't help myself! Eli's is fu%*!#$ GOOD! No indoor seating at this spot; must take to go or sit at Findley. And their sign. I get it. The pig sign. No words. Hip. But this area is way too busy, over the top busy for those kinds of shinanigans. I walked around Findlay 3 times before I found it. LET US KNOW, Eli!! Anyhoo, Girrrrrrrrrl, get them grits n' bones. Lip lickin good.

The best bbq sauce you buy. Sucks you can't get it at Kroger anymore. I drive to Findlay to pick up some sauces to give to friends.

We stumbled upon Eli's BBQ after browsing the Findlay market. The smell lured us in. I got the pulled pork sandwich with slaw, mac and cheese, and the jalapeño cornbread. I felt $14 for the portion I received was fair. The service was super quick and the mac and cheese and cornbread were delicious. The pulled pork was a little dry, but the slaw helped give it a little more moisture. I liked the convenience and it hit the spot.

Eli's bbq was good but not great. We served a meat-licious meal for 4 for about $50 which is a pretty good deal: 3 meats and 4 side dishes. Flavors were good but all the meats were probably 10% overcooked which meant that all the meats were slightly drier than desired.The dryness was most noticeable with the smoked chicken wings wherein the wings needed to be dipped in sauce. The rib tips were inconsistent with some pieces being 90% meat while others were barely 50% meat. Sort of a crap shoot. The ribs were the best as overcooking did not affect the tenderness of the meat. Some folks like a drier cook meat (to rid of excess fat), but it makes for a chewier drier less flavorful product to me. The sides, mac n' cheese, bbq beans, and mashed potatoes were ok with the standout being the mac n' cheese.This location on the street outside of Findlay Market is takeout only and sort of hidden (only a clapboard sign to show its location). There's small patio chairs and tables in the area if you wanna dine al fresco.All in all, pretty flavorful bbq at a very affordable price. But expect a drier smokier product than at other places.

It's a sad day. Foe the past 11 years every time our family drove through Cinni from the north or the south we would stop. We did the same today, the only difference was the food wasn't the same. My wife sad, I think this is the last time we need to detour to come here. The wings had no meat on them, the ribs were dry and they were out of sides that we normally get. Interesting on how you look forward to a good thing and things change. Farwell to one of our past fav's.
