    Dressed-up Pulled Pork
    Barry H.

    Decided to head out and check out Bob's Backyard Bar-B-Q in Pickerington. They do all their smoking with apple wood to give a nice smooth taste to the meat. This is a different version of the Lancaster business. Very stylish interior with a lot of wood used. Lighting is very cool. Plans are for them to have a liquor license soon.On to the important stuff, the food. I ordered the Dressed Up Pulled Pork Sandwich, Mac N Cheese, Baked Beans and Cheesy Potatoes. The sandwich had good amount of pork on it, fried onions added a big difference to the sandwich. The sauce that they use for it is homemade as all their sauces are. The Mac and cheese was a baked version which had a nice cheesy flavor. The Baked Beans were made with cinnamon which typically places go overboard with, this was just a light touch. On to Cheesy Potatoes, they were made perfectly, using a riced potatoes and a nice blend of cheese, baked to perfection. Crazy as it be the star of the show was something they give you for FREE at the beginning of the meal which was a sort of oyster crackers that are buttery with seasoning on them. Yummmy!!! Now on to service. My waitress was Kendall, she was amazing, checking on me and giving refills on my drink. A special treat was that I got to sit down and talk with Jared the Manager for a bit. He told me a lot of the background of the business. So cool to hear a lot of the back stories to businesses. Then if things weren't good enough already. Bob the owner shows up and comes in and I was able to chat with him for a few minutes. This is a very new restaurant and everyone should come out and check it out.

    Latest opening of a nearby city of Lancaster classic restaurant in downtown Ole' Pickerington. We enjoyed the Shotgun Shells appetizer and delicious dishes: Pulled Pork Meal with Baked Beans and the Ultimate Brisket Sundae. My kids enjoyed their hotdogs with kettle chips. Reasonably priced for excellent barbecue. Service was exceptional, quick and prompt. Rustic looking ambiance with more potential to come on the decorating.

    We were there on a Saturday late afternoon and it was not crowded. We sat at the bar. Service was…read moreexcellent and the options for beer were extensive. You can sample / taste without charge. The beer menu is creative and sound leaving little guessing to how each of them would taste. I tried and purchased the Blood Orange Cider and it was one of the best ciders I've had. I also had a 5 oz pour of the "Inch of Dust 2024" which was by far my favorite. While 10% ABV the description was spot on and I loved it. It finished sweet so not one I would drink a lot of at one time but the 5 oz pour was perfect for me. My husband had IPA and enjoyed both of the options he had. They appear to be dog friendly based on seeing two dogs there while we were inside. There is ample parking and seating with a casual vibe. We saw another couple playing a game at the bar. The industrial look / seating can be off-putting and a bit uncomfortable for some but we really did not find it challenging. The entire place is also very clean including the bathrooms. They cycle food trucks out front and do not serve food inside. We will definitely return.

There are several beers to try and plenty of folks were trying them. There were several food trucks there tonight. I ate at El Catrin. I had the Asian chicken taco with Chips and Guac. The taco was very tasty and had a lot of veggies. It was so good and I went back for a second one. The Guac was fresh and chunky. The chips were light and crispy. The staff at the brewery were very friendly and service was fast.

    If you are from the area this is a staple restaurant spot in Canal Winchester (other locations is…read morein Athens & Heath). The staff is always welcoming & you can tell that it's a family. Food is good. Never have a bad meal just sometimes doesn't sit well with me. We frequent here so you know it's a good time. Parking is mainly street around the corner. Town in small with local shops. Never been during evening times so keep that in mind.

Then we waited for 20 minutes. We didn't even get menus. Two tables were seated after us and were already ordering when we decided to give up and try another place. I don't like assuming people are prejudiced. I want to believe our server just happened to overlook the one table of brown people because they're a teenage girl going through a hard time. So that's what I choose to believe. I just hope the place shapes up, because someone else might not have taken it as well as we did. On the bright side, the staff seemed friendly (when we left, two servers near the entrance told us to have a nice day) and the dishes at the tables around us looked really good. I hope to come back and successfully try that chicken noodle soup someday

Also ordered the pulled pork tots, they were okay. They were at least something to eat since the pizza was so bad. The cheese on the tots was not good though.

You're literally right there in the brewery. The tables downstairs in front of the bar were really close together so we moved up to the small upstairs area. It's actually right outside the kitchen. It was nice up there. It's basically a loft area overlooking the main part of the bar. Felt really bad for the two really young guys working the kitchen all by themselves. They were super slammed. They did the best they could but the food took a really long time. We got there Buffalo chicken loaded fries. Wow were they good. They were out of pulled pork so that was kind of disappointing but I guess we will have to go another time. We got this smoked brisket bacon dip. It was delicious. Wish it was a larger portion. My friend got a salad with chicken on it but was rather large. My pizza was alittle over cooked. Close to burnt. It was good there but left overs had a burnt flavor for sure. My husband got the fish and liked it. It has a nice breading and flavor. They had live music that was good. Not super loud. I think we'll give it another try.
