Best WLM Reviews

Food was delicious. I got smoked chicken wings and turkey ribs with Mac and cheese and greens. Waited an hour and a half for the chicken due to them running out and waiting for the smoker to finish cooking the chicken. Need a better system to let people know they no longer have an item available however the owner did compensate for the wait. Over all food was delicious and I will be back.
02/28/24- revisited B & K Smoke House last week and sampled another one of their dinner plates; the Beef Brisket w/Collard Greens, and Mac & Cheese. Very delicious.
I recently visited B & K Smoke House and wow wee! Probably “the” best beef brisket I have tasted in Columbus. Deliciously, flavorful, savory, and tender. True definition of finger licking good. I purchased the Combo # 1 with potato salad as my side. I also purchased the 10 Piece Chicken Wing Dinner (sweet & spicy sauced wings) with collard greens and mac & cheese for my two sides (2 sides included if you make your order a “dinner” order. Everything tastes amazing. This cooking is made with love. Tight and limited seating. Cool and zen space. Carry out highly recommended. Limited parking on Champion. Professional and welcoming service. Decent prices.
Okay…I really REALLY wanted this place to be incredible; in short, the food is strictly okay overall. The owners were so lovely and I genuinely do hope they take this critique in stride.
We ordered the pork ribs, brisket dinners with mac and cheese, collard greens, baked beans and cornbread.
The pork ribs were delicious - excellent smoke, tender, juicy, nice meaty bite. Tasting the ribs first, I thought this was the perfect set up for an even more flavorful meal, but I was wrong.
The collard greens were alright, they definitely were not made with smoked meat which isn’t an entire deal breaker, but they only tasted of vegetable stock and vinegar - not overly salty but just not the best tasting.
Unfortunately the mac and cheese was just not good, at all. The noodles were well cooked and held their structure, but that was probably the best thing about it - lacked flavor entirely, just noodles and cheese. No salt, no pepper, NOTHING. Thrown away, just not good, I couldn’t eat it.
The baked beans were interesting, might’ve been the best thing under the pork ribs honestly. The flavor was different from any baked beans I’ve had, tasted like they may have used cinnamon and slightly too much nutmeg in the beans, overall they were fine. The cornbread was sad, dense, lacking flavor almost like it was an afterthought. Not baked well.
Now…how utterly disappointing was this brisket!!! (Sad face) The seasoning did not come through on this cook, you couldn’t really taste the smoke on this; in order to eat the food I had to douse the brisket in their house BBQ sauce. While the sauce brought the food alive - I wish the smoke on the brisket could’ve done all the work!! The sauce is required in order to taste a modicum of flavor, and in BBQ the sauce should be optional.
While yummy the sauce was definitely oil based, it just kind of slipped through the brisket and pooled at the bottom of the container.
Overall, I’m not sure if this was just an off day, or if this is how the food really is.
I’m truly saddened by this experience, I really wanted this to be good!
Absolutely the best barbecue I’ve had. I’m an Indy native & every time I find myself in Columbus, this is a must have! I usually park on the side of the building in the family dollar lot. The restaurant recently added a dining space on the side and it just makes me feel like I’m at my Granny’s house, cozy & well fed. Long story short, just pull up & find out for yourself. Promise you’ll be satisfied.
Our first time trying this place and we loved it. The pork ribs were done perfectly and the sauce was excellent. We were told we might like mixing the sauces and it turned out great like that. The macaroni and cheese was so good too and could tell they use lots of real cheese. We are really looking forward to going back asap.
Hidden Gem!!!!! Quite possibly the best bbq I have had in Columbus and right up there with some of the Texas and St. Louis bbqs I have had. Great BBQ, giant portions and priced reasonably as well. Will be back! Never seen turkey ribs but they were wonderful.
Food is on point. Zero questions or concerns. Price is worth it. Serving size is plentiful. No issues with staff. Giving it 4 stars mainly because Ive shown up several times during their normal posted business hours and they're randomly closed. I highly recommend calling to see if theyre open. Dont trust google or their website, ALWAYS call.
I love B&K Smokehouse. The employees are so friendly and helpful. The food is amazing. The chicken wings are some of the best I've ever had. The atmosphere is great. You can really tell the restaurant is full of pride and love. Go check them out! You will thank me later!
