Webb's BBQ

Love Webb's so much that we have deemed Friday to be called Webb's Day in our house. It's something we look forward to each week. People are kind and friendly here. BBQ is outstanding. I get the potato with turkey and it's very filling!

BBQ in Newport? Heck ya! This is awesome stop with bar, tables, atmosphere and great food and service. Had lunch on a Friday (only day they are open) and the special is an entre, side and drink for $7. And it's a ton of food. And delicious. Met Joe Webb the owner and had a great time. Rachel is super nice and made the lunch hour breeze by. Make a point on Fridays to stop in!! And right across the street from a record store to boot!

Get. The. Ribs.OMG, whatever they use for a Rub, once it caramelizes into a bark, is genius!! Among the best, if not THE best ribs I've had. More tender than Eli's, firmer than Montgomery Inn. The meat comes off the bone fairly easily, but doesn't plop right off like the Ribs King. Tender, delicious, and that caramelized bark! Ok, ribs mentioned. Next, their hours. They are only open for ~9 hours per week, only on Fridays. 11:30am to 9:00pm. I'm sure that every single other review has mentioned this anomaly. Even Sweets & Meats and Ron D's are open more days than this.The rest. All sides are house made. Coursely cut cole slaw, baked beans (with peaches?!), Mac/chz, cheddar/jalapeño grits, green beans, cornbread. And a big duh, of course they have other smoked meats. Pulled pork, brisket, wings, 1/2 chickens, turkey?. All that I've had have been very good, though the chicken breast was kind-of dry. So plan ahead, and block out some time on a Friday to get down to Newport and get some good Cue! Sampler Platter will run you about $20 with generous portions of 3 meats and 2 sides. You will not be able to finish this. But if you do, they also have desserts. Credit cards and cash accepted.

I've been wanting to try Webb's for quite some time and finally stopped in. My fiancé and I each got the lunch special. He went with the pulled pork and French fries and I tried the brisket and mac and cheese. There was tons of food and it was so tasty. I would highly recommend the mac and cheese. Next time, I would like to try the smoked turkey. They were sold out today, but we're definitely wanting to go back!

[TLDR]A local no-frills family-owned bbq joint with reasonable prices and some truly excellent pulled pork, only open on Friday[/TLDR]Yep - they are only open on Fridays. Don't bother heading to the former location of Detroit Joes in Newport any other day of the week, because the husband and wife team running the place took the advice I get every time I try to sing and kept their day jobs, and they take the weekends off. It is certainly an unusual arrangement for a restaurant, but they've been making it work for about a year now.There are no menus - you order at the counter in the front room off a huge chalk menuboard with all the available eats that day, and items are scratched off as they run out. Tables are mostly communal picnic tables. Plates are wax-paper lined baskets, silverware is limited to the much-maligned spork, and every table sports a roll of paper napkins and squeeze bottles of their two sauces - hickory (KC Style) and vinegar (Carolina style).If you are able to get down to Newport on a Friday (and try to go for lunch, some items sell out well before dinner time) you are in for a treat. They smoke 6 meats - pork, pork ribs, brisket, turkey breast, chicken wings, and sausage - every Friday and offer a single serving of any of these for 6 bucks, and all meats are also available by the pound. Sides are 1.50, and a piece of cornbread will run you just 75 cents. Canned sodas are a buck, or 1.50 if you prefer a bottle of that regional specialty, Ale-8-One. Desserts - they usually have a fruit cobbler available - are excellent and just 2 bucks. As of my initial review, have tried all of the meats except the wings and the sausage, and every one of them has been good to very good. The best of the bunch is the pulled pork, which comes in fewer but larger pieces than at Eli's; and I mention Eli's here because I love Eli's puled pork and I think the pulled pork here is its equal. The brisket is also quite good, though a bit chewier, less tender than I'd prefer. The ribs are quite a bit meatier but not as moist and tender as Elis, and its worth mentioning that the same 6 bucks that gets you two bones at Elis gets you three here. It is sad however that a full slab will cost you the same per bone - $24 a slab is quite a bit on the pricey side. The turkey was decent, but a bit dry with a hard outer crust and not much smoke flavor.As of my second review, I have also tried the sausage and the wings. I love the sausages - rough-ground pork, smoked in house, excellent snap, delicious. I think the wings might be an acquired taste for some, because they are not breaded, not fried, and not tossed in sauce; all of which seemed to be required elements for wings here in Cincinnati. These are rubbed and smoked (and I think grilled briefly just before plating? thats just my guess, though) and not tossed in sauce. Like everything else here, nothing is pre-sauced, but it can be added. The smoke flavor on these is very subtle, but they were nonetheless decently good, particularly with a little of both of the sauces dripped onto them I liked both of the sauces, but I can't say that that I'd choose either one as one of the best in town. The hickory is a thick smokey catsup based sauce like what most of us think of as BBQ sauce, and the Carolina sauce is a very tangy thin sauce made primarily with vinegar plus a little tomato paste and some spices, similar to what you'd get when served bbq in Lexington, NC. I didn't like the sides nearly as well, but the jalapeno cheese grits were decently good and not as spicey hot as one might expect.. To be fair, I saw folks come in specifically for the mac-n-chese both times while I was there, but I was unimpressed with this side and recommend you skip it. The peach cobbler for dessert is a terrific, but I did not like the blackberry nearly as well - the owner (Joe) assures me this was an aberration and I should try it again next time I am in. And I will.I don't usually include safety tips in a review, but the steps in front are a little weird/choppy, so watch your step when entering/exiting here.Parking is a bit difficult, but the unmarked log behind the building is your best bet if you can find a spot. The majority of the other spaces nearby are meteredRecommended

My first visit to Webb's. Fantastic!! I had a brisket sandwich. The meat was piled high and absolutely delicious!! Fall apart tender! The sauces were yummy. Loved my side of collard greens. Can't wait to visit again!!

So I have been looking for the best brisket near me and even though it took what seemed like a hour to get 2 sandwiches to go I have to say they have made a fan. The brisket was very moist and tasted awesome. We waited awhile and I am glad. Next time we will have to get a seat and try more of the food. Only 4 star because it was very hot and had to wait a long time but the food spoke for it self.

They're open on Friday's only from 11 until the food runs out. Lunch special until 3pm is $8 for meat, side and a drink. I had the brisket and jalapeño cheddar grits. The brisket was some of the best I've ever had. Tender with a perfect bark. The grits left a lot to be desired unfortunately. Honey had 1/3 slab ribs with macncheese and baked beans. The ribs and mac were really good. The baked beans were delicious. They have peaches in them! We will definitely be back.

We ordered Webb's BBQ for our annual Labor Day Party, and the raves we received about the food were constant from literally everyone! We ordered the pulled pork, brisket (the BEST I've ever had!!), chicken wings and their pig candy. Our guests just kept going on and on about how delicious it ALL was!! Every time I looked around at our guests, someone had a piece of bacon in their hand and were shaking their heads about how good it was! Joe and his wife were so gracious and certainly helped us to make our party a great success! We will be ordering Webb's for our parties going forward (I think our guests would be disappointed if we didn't!) Thanks Joe!!

The food was absolutely outstanding! The best bbq I've had in a long time! The ribs were beautifully done, the wings were exceptional, the brisket and pulled pork were both great. Should you go, do not skip the cobbler!! Ohh and the baked beans were lithe best I've ever had!
