If one type of food has really come into its own in Cincinnati over the past several years, it’s barbecue. Everyone used to think of local favorite Montgomery Inn as the only stand-out when it came to smokey meats, but now the Queen City has several mouthwatering options to choose from. Many of these places rival the best in the nation, but one was recently named by Travel + Leisure as one of the Top 25 Places for Barbecue in the country (read more here). Midwest Best BBQ is now located in a brand new restaurant in Loveland, and it’s definitely time to try this scrumptious and unexpectedly awesome BBQ joint in Cincinnati.

Midwest Best BBQ began as a sauce and rub shop, but has grown into a local favorite destination for BBQ. It quickly outgrew its first location in Camp Dennison and opened up a brand new restaurant in Loveland this past fall.

One unique feature on the menu is the wings. You’ll definitely want to order these, and try the “G-Funk” style - they are slowly becoming quite famous in this area of Cincinnati.

The other meats on the menu are perfectly smoked and not slathered with sauce, rather bursting with natural flavor. Choose from pork, brisket, chicken, or turkey (shown below), or a sampling of a few all in one meal.
