I grew up in Texas, and have rarely found restaurants in this area that know how to do brisket, or barbecue for that matter. This place does!! Very tender brisket, and the sides were delicious as well. The only thing lacking was the taste of the barbecue sauces, but that’s okay since everyone is different when it comes to their sauce preferences. Friendly staff and cozy wait area. I highly recommend.
My husband and I ate here yesterday for the first time after hearing such good things and it was AMAZING!! We are sort of foodie snobs and this was a legit...lick your plate good. He had the brisket sandwich and the Mac and I had the pulled pork platter with coleslaw and bourbon sweet potatoes. The sauces were all fresh and so tasty(sweet, spicy, mustard and hot sauce - all fabulous!) and I never like sweet pickles but their sweet and spicy pickles were the bomb with their pork. You must try! We will definitely be back!!
THE best BBQ I have had. We tried Eli's and I was unimpressed. This place is amazing. I have never been a brisket person and that is what I always get here because it is so tender. Their sides are really good too. You can't eat in but luckily we don't live far. Definitely worth the trip if you do not live in the area. If they have ribs available I highly recommend but you can't really go wrong.
Don’t let the outside fool you. The brisket is amazing! It is the best I’ve ever had! The sides were off the charts as well! Show this place some love and go now!
We've been here a couple of times now, and frankly like it slightly better than Eli's (which we love), with one caveat. Eli's sauce is better. So we go to Kroger and pick up Eli's sauce. Then we go to Pickles and Bones. First, order desert. Their deserts are insanely good. If you're lucky enough to go in strawberry season get the shortcake. My husband loves the banana pudding, and the cobblers are great.
But the meat is why you're here. It's got a strong smokey flavor and is super moist. I've had their pulled pork and chicken, their ribs, their brisket, their turkey and their hot links. The turkey wasn't my favorite - I've not had smoked turkey around here that I like though. The brisket is the best I've had in Cincinnati. The ribs are very meaty and tender, not fatty. The pulled pork and chicken is moist and flavorful. The hot links are really good but they're too hot for me. The husband loves them though. Any of these are excellent. Note that ribs (2 per serving) and rib tips are only served on certain days.
We've tried most of the sides. I wasn't really enthralled with the hoe cakes. I'd never had them and thought they were odd and dry. I love the macaroni salad and baked beans, the potato salad and sweet potatoes come in second for me. My husband always gets the coleslaw and the mac n cheese, which I admit are tasty too. We've not had the greens or beans, no idea why. We'll get them next time.
TL;DR: Some of the best BBQ we've had in Cincy, and now our favorite place here even if we do buy Eli's sauce to put on it.
Every self-respecting Cincinnati barbecue enthusiast knows which area restaurant has reigned supreme over the last six or seven years, and yet that still hasn't deterred a host of competent chefs in town from trying to topple the king from his smoky, tender, juicy throne. One of the newest contenders on the scene is Pickles & Bones Barbecue, located just on the outskirts of Milford in Day Heights, near Milford High School. While the fledgling BBQ takeaway is still in its infancy...
All Food was made Fresh! I had the Sausage, Collard Greens and Mac n Cheese. It was very yummy!! You can pick it up for Carry out. There are 3 tables outside you can sit down and eat at as well. No indoor Dining unfortunately! I definitely recommend!!
We ordered chicken wings and brisket for takeout and both were fantastic! I'm ecstatic that such a great BBQ place is on my way home from work. I'll be ordering takeout again soon!
12/2/23 Update - Their new location is even closer to my house so now they delivery with the Toast app!!!! I got free delivery with Toast and just had to tip the driver. I can hardly believe that the best brisket I've ever had anywhere is just a few clicks away from being delivered to my door! I'm excited to try the dine in experience for breakfast sometime also. Of all the sides I like the cheesy potatos the best get a quart they are great for breakfast the next day if you have leftovers.
Delicious. Brisket is well-prepared, seasoned well, tender, juicy and not dry. Best barbecue . You can never go wrong. We always go back and has become our favorite. Worth the drive.
Is there a 10-star rating? Don't get me started. Everything here is great. In a community full of fast food and chains, this place is the (somewhat hidden) beacon of light. It's a small locally owned shop without the fanfare and signage. It's going to be a bit more expensive than your microwaved hamburger down the street - because they made it here, from scratch.
Check out their weekly specials. They do not disappoint.
Their smoked meats are great! I particularly love the brisket and pulled pork. Delicious sides, and their banana pudding is wonderful!
Lord. Have. Mercy!
BEST beef brisket I’ve ever had and this includes many stops down south!
Mac & Cheese got thumbs up by all 3 in our household. First time here and the next time we’re on the east side will definitely be back!
I always have a top notch experience at P&B! Food is always fresh, BBQ is best in the city and the sides are phenomenal (I love the bourbon sweet potatoes). Staff is extremely friendly as well. Highly recommend
I live near Pickles and Bones and have been driving by it for a couple years without stopping. I finally decided to give this little sandwich stand a try and was very surprised not only by how great our sandwiches were but also by the number of items from which I could choose. We tried the pulled chicken and turkey sandwiches and they were great. The sides were also better than expected. I highly recommend this place.
Had to try a bit of everything and loved all of it! My fave sides were the sweet potatoes and banana pudding! The brisket Ruben was amazing! Will be back!!
Well Deserved #1 status! Best Brisket I've ever had. Delicious hot and leftovers delicious later cold. Thrilled to find and enjoy this take out establishment when I was traveling for business. May you prosper!!! Chose the two meats and two sides. Brisket, chicken, cheese potatoes, and collards. Typically not a sauce gal, yet thoroughly enjoyed the mustard I tried!!
