    Home of the 'Mad Dog'!?
    Dean S.

    Wanted to go for a scenic drive. Decided Chillicothe was our destination and using Yelp!, found this bbq joint. The store is very quaint with 70's based decor. Staff was nice. Food was okay. The corn potato casserole was the star of the dinner show. The brisket was good but a bit dry and bland, the pork was tasty but having to be careful for burnt parts that were hard to chew kind of killed my mood. The chicken was... well... I don't care for boneless, skinless, chicken breast so we will just leave it at that. The macaroni and cheese was probably 3rd favorite thing but it wasn't something I'd need to ask for recipe or want to try to emulate at home. I do love these kind of places, enjoy supporting the small mom and pops, the people are nice but the food was just not worth the trip. I almost feel bad saying bad things about the food choices we made but it is what it is.

    This is a gem in southeast Ohio that is a must if you're in the area! Located on the south part of town across the Scioto River, this small diner has some rocking BBQ! They also serve breakfast which I have yet to check out. I ordered a quick takeout so I could watch football on Saturday during lunch, and it wasn't too busy when I came to pick up my food -- my guess is that the OSU was playing at noon. The restaurant was clean and the crew behind the counter was super friendly! I ordered the Big South (feeds 2-3): - Briskets (5/5): oh so juicy, flavorful, and scrumptious! I would just go back for this! - pork (4.5/5): super delicious and had a nice smoky flavor -- goes well with their BBQ sauce. - shredded chicken (2.5/5): eh, wasn't impressed. It had a hint of the smoky flavor but otherwise a bit bland. - 1/2 rack ribs (4/5): yes plz! Def a fan! You can get it dry or wet. I got it wet and def enjoyed it! My slight critique is that I wish the sauce had more of a zing to it than just sweet. It's a personal thing. - 2 sides (I got fried onion rings and sweet potato casserole). Both were solid -- the sweet potato had a nice brown sugar caramelization to it! Overall, I was one satisfied customer. With the portion of the Big South to the price and array of bbq goodness, it's a bargain for some solid bbq! I do wish their BBQ had a bit more spice or zest to it -- or just have an additional new sauce option -- to compliment the ribs and other dishes. I'll be back!

    Husband had the Mad Dog and I had the burger! Amazing food, so much flavor! Love this small town place for dinner.

    Amazing food, and great friendly service! All over great experience, love the layout of the place. Such a great small town feeling.

    Warm Peach cobbler a la mode

    Food and wait staff were fabulous for the price. My sandwich was a bit cold, I would have liked it warmer for a 5 star, but still great!

    This place is amazing! I was working around Chillicothe and wanted bbq, so I used yelp to find a great bbq place, and for the first time in a while yelp failed me, I went to canal smoke house the first time and because of the reviews I though that it must be a regional taste and that's what Ohio bbq tastes like, then the front desk at the hotel recommended here, I'm so glad I tried it! So let's compare the two shale we? 1: ribs, the ribs from canal "smoke" house were over cooked, not smoky and the sauce was terrible, very peppery and vinigery. At this amazing place they use a dry rub and it's sweet and Smokey and you can still taste the delicious pork underneath. 2: pulled pork, the pulled pork from Canal smoke House was obviously old and dry and it did not taste like it was smoked. The pulled pork from here is tender and smoky and taste great with no sauce. I did not try any other similar things at Canal smoke House by here I got the smoked chicken brisket half rack of ribs and pulled pork with two sides the first being onion rings and the second a salad all for 23.99! At Canal smoke House I paid $27 for inferior barbecue. So in conclusion I would recommend going here rather than Canal smoke House. This is one of the best barbecue places I have had and I travel all over the United States. I hope this review helps you and enjoy your food.

    Decided to check this place out. Ordered the Sampler. It has brisket, pulled pork and chicken. Chicken was super moist, typically dries out badly. The pulled pork was shredded and so moist you wouldn't believe it. Really mild smoke flavor to it. The brisket had a great bark with salt and pepper to it but was a little on the dry side. Mac n cheese was of the baked variety and had a ton of cheese with it. Delicious. Also had the corn and potato casserole. First time ever hearing of this dish. It had the corn and potato and a little cheese it. Quite tasty. The baked beans were made with a fair amount of brown sugar in them. They were quite hearty and we're very filling. The waitress's were off the charts. There were 3 of them and each one checked on me numerous times. Super stuff. The place is in an old style diner that definitely gives you a small town vibe (original Frisch's Diner). They have been there since 2012. I for sure will have to return.

    Absolutely amazing food!!! If your looking for something new in Chillicothe, try 7 mile smokehouse! Everyone here is super friendly and helpful as well. I highly recommend coming in and supporting this mom and pop restaurant during the pandemic...it just may become your new favorite!!!

    We had 7 Miles Smokehouse catered in to my workplace today. MAN, was it ever tasty!!! I'll let the photo of the grub speak for itself. Let's just say it's THE REAL DEAL!!! Scrumptious!

    Beef brisket sandwich with Mac and cheese and baked beans.

    I have found a new gem! I was in Chillicothe and decided to try 7 Miles Smokehouse. I am glad I did. Nikki was our waitress was very informative. The Brisket was awesome and the Mac and cheese is very good, lots of cheese and great taste. The baked beans...they were just okay. Flavor was good. I personally like meat in my baked beans. Just saying. I will definitely be back!

    Best BBQ sandwich I've ever had. Hands down.

    I like to order the mad dog without the bun, get a side of onion rings and eat them on top of the sandwich.
