User Reviews of Barleys Smokehouse

Go for the beer

The side dishes are good, fun friendly atmosphere and great beer. I would go back, but not for the barbeque. If you want barbeque, go to City Barbeque. If you want to hang out, have a few beers and eat some...

2.0 of 5 stars. Don't bother if its BBQ you want, or for that matter any thing that would be cooked in a "smokehouse"

3.0 of 5 stars. In Columbus on business and I was in the mood for some local beer. Was going to head to their original place when I saw they had another place a little further away that had BBQ. Being the BBQ...

Yelp.com Review - by melanie b.

3.0 of 5 stars. So, one of the reasons I love the heartland/midwest is because of all the different places you can get BBQ (about as common as lobster/clam shacks back home in Maine). It's just kind of amazing, and...

Yelp.com Review - by Shawnie K.

4.0 of 5 stars. If you are familiar with Barleys Ale House in the Short North, put that place out of your head before coming here! Barley's Smokehouse is a completely different experience. Only the beer is the same,...

Yelp.com Review - by Mike B.

3.0 of 5 stars. Sorry, but when you have two "on tap" guest brews not in house yet, there are problems. Sure the other beer I had was good (at 4.75 a pint it better be) but I was still quite dismayed that my top two...

Yelp.com Review - by Ellen F.

4.0 of 5 stars. A combination of great microbrews and barbeque. The Smokehouse is quite large and good for groups, and kids. I'm a fan of the Fiery Jerk Shrimp and the dried cherry walnut and blue cheese salad. I...

Yelp.com Review - by Shane L.

3.0 of 5 stars. Barleys does great beer, but the barbecue requires a bit of beer to appreciate.Barbecue is a very subjective experience, and there are many styles and approaches, but to me, Barley's name says it all....

Yelp.com Review - by Peter C.

3.0 of 5 stars. For the first time ever when reviewing a BBQ place, I'll try my absolute hardest to not stack up Barley's against Hoggy's. This will be a daunting task, as the Hoggy's is the undisputed King of...

4.0 of 5 stars. It wasn't what you'd expect from a BBQ joint for the sole reason that they serve actual authentic barbecue. Instead of going for the complete overkill through prodigious use of sauce, Barley's relies...

Yelp.com Review - by Randy S.

4.0 of 5 stars. This place isn't too bad at all. Food-wise (mostly BBQ), it's certainly no Hoggy's or City BBQ. The pulled pork and brisket are very good but a little bland. The sparingly used sauces (extra comes on...

4.0 of 5 stars. A friend of mine persuaded me to go with him on their wing night and I try to go back as often as possible. The wings are okay, they are not the best around but the price makes up for it. I really...

3.0 of 5 stars. My first trip to Barley's was for a victory lunch for my friend Sean. We went on the Saturday of Comfest, so it was relatively quiet and our server was really friendly.The menu was fun, but I hadn't...

Yummy BBQ

This is a great local place to eat. The service was excellent, with our server coming over everytime our glasses were empty to refill, and keeping an eye on us while we were perusing the menu, and coming over...

Worth the wait.

I agree with the other reviewers who complained about the service. Our server was absolutely clueless, and seemed to have a short-term memory of about 4 seconds. It took quite a while for our meals to appear...

Best Smoked/Grilled Chix Wings

The Chix wings @ Barley's are the best I have ever had....and I have had a few in my time. These wings are like no other wings you will ever try, they are not deep fried so less fat for you health nuts. The...

Pretty Good...Not Great

I have to say that I really like the atmosphere of this place, and the service has always been very good. The food is pretty good, not great, and the portions can be lacking at times. The beer is very good,...

Great BBQ/ Slow service

The Best Stout in town, as well as a fairly good menu. If BBQ is your thing, probably the BEST in town, though the service leaves you wanting on most occassions. I have eaten here about 20 times in the last 3...

Great BBQ, Great Beer

Second only to Barley's Ale House No. 1, the Smokehouse has more of a restaurant than a brewpub feel. They carry pretty much the same beer selection and the quality is the same so it stacks up just fine. I...
