Nothing but amazing things to say about this BBQ spot! I want to start off my review by giving a s/o to the staff. My server was so kind and made me feel so welcome and was so happy to offer suggestions. The food was perfection. Not only was the presentation gorgeous, i mean just look at the plates! But the flavors were spectacular. Besides having the best meats and sides, each table is loaded up with 4-5 different BBQ sauces created by Barrel & Boar that take the meal to the next level. My one note about this Barrel & Boar location is that the bathroom is a bit scary and could use some up-keeping but that's just me being picky.

DELICIOUS!!!! Must try...I repeat, must try! The ribs were fall off the bone amazing and the Mac n' cheese was cheesy and full of flavor. The ribs did have lots and lots of flavor...I admit I did scrap some of the seasoning off, but it was enjoyable for sure. The staff was friendly and helpful.

One of the best BBQ places I have ever eaten at! The corn bread and butter was so popable, the mac and cheese was so gooey and hot. Worth the scenic drive!

The BBQ Mac with brisket is an amazing combination. Fast, friendly service. Great portion size. Comfy, especially with the outdoor seating on a cool summer evening.

Good service, good food, and the place smelled good with the food being smoked. I also tried their own beer, it was really good

This is Barrel and Boar: 10-10. Hands down the best BBQ I've had in a while. Every bite of the Mac & Cheese was flavorful and deliciously cheesy. The corn casserole was sweet and creamy. The BBQ and ribs were to die for. AND Best of all, the price was right! A huge plus was that the customer service was great! The outdoor seating options were much appreciated although we sat inside. Whenever I am in town next, I will be back!!This restaurant may have been renamed or under new ownership now, it is no longer The Smoked Food Factory. I am not from the area and therefore accidentally posted my review for the Gahanna location (edits to follow).

The best BBQ in Ohio, hands down!Love the fresh ingredients and made-from scratch everything. We got the burnt ends, the brisket, the crispy Brussels sprouts, the cornbread muffins, and the tater tots. All perfect. We will be back!

I feel like I was catfished by the old Yelp reviews! I was so excited to have lunch here. The photos on Yelp and the photos on their website looked AMAZING... what I received was the exact opposite. (I'm kicking myself for not taking photos while I was there). But imagine what you would expect barbecue to look and taste like if you ordered it from Wish or TEMU. Bread pudding was cold in the center. Mac and cheese was cold. Everything tasted like reheated food that was actually cooked last weekend. Save your money.

First...the staff is really nice!!!Now, It's easy to over order and spend way too much... it all sounds so good! I find I don't tend to get back into the leftovers from here...a sign to me that the food I've purchased is really good. It's ehhh. I'll eat it...it's Not necessarily bad, but not what I'd go out of my way to get, or for that matter, crave. There's not enough meat on the ribs, the smoke ring is ok on the brisket...just ok, though. Not spectacular. Not a fan of the pulled chicken. The pulled pork isn't too bad and they have a Cuban sandwich that's pretty decent and a sandwich called the Big Pig, which is about the only way you'll see their smoked sausage available on the menu...they need to work on the bread they put both on, though. Once again, not bad, but could be better. Their sides are decent, but not great. Better than other places, but way too salty for me and not enough tang. Save your money on the mac and cheese and desserts. Would love to see a good bbq chicken half instead of just pulled chicken, or smoked wings(haven't tried them, yet). Done on the grill with the little charred pieces that make things truly good and add a coleslaw or potato salad not milk-based for those who can't handle, or don't like dairy. And some tangy, spicy greens!!! Bottom line, I guess I like it as well as any of the other bbq/smoked food restaurants in town, but that's not saying much. IMO, they all need to step it up a notch (including their sides). It's not bad....just could be better.

Love this place. The brisket is delicious. The sauce is amazing. Partnering with their brewery, they also provide local beer. We traveled to Hocking Hills for hiking. It's definitely worth the 20 min drive for good food. Also, our host was very personable and inviting. The experience is more like visiting a good friend.
