There are certain regions of the country that come to mind when conjuring up visions of delicious barbecue: the South, of course, and also places like Kansas City and Texas. But Ohio? Not so much. However, we’re on a mission to change that, because the Buckeye State is a bonafide barbecue hotspot! And in Ohio, Montgomery Inn is one of the best in the state, serving up crave-worthy barbecue since 1951.

Located in the charming little town of Montgomery, Ohio, there is a restaurant with a legendary barbecue reputation.

The legendary eats begin before your meat arrives. Order an appetizer of saratoga chips, hand-cut daily from the finest grade jumbo Idaho potatoes. Get a side of barbecue sauce for dipping… trust us on this one!

Montgomery Inn’s barbecue sauce is a cult favorite in Cincinnati. Smooth and sticky-sweet, it’s unlike any other barbecue sauce in the country, and wholly unique to Ohio!

Montgomery Inn’s ribs are in a league of their own. Hot and fall-off-the-bone tender, slathered in sauce, you’ll most definitely want to accept your server’s offer of a bib!

If you prefer your BBQ on a bun, you can’t go wrong with the classic pulled pork sandwich. Slow-smoked pork swimming in sweet, sweet sauce… it’s a total taste bud explosion!

Can’t choose between barbecue chicken or barbecue ribs? You don’t have to! Order half and half.

Of course, if your carnivorous craving is for a thick, juicy steak, you can most certainly find that here, too!
