The food here is delicious and I found it to be quite the bargain. Definitely coming back for more. There are lots of barbecue restaurants in Columbus, but Smoked On High truly stands out as exceptional.

Charlie was so amazing to work with and answered all of my emails promptly and helped me figure out the best way to set up the buffets to make sure the lines moved quickly enough and even drew out a diagram for me of how the setup would look with the food! Also, I should have listened when they mentioned they deliver generous quantities of everything because everyone ate a lot and we had enough leftovers to take home and give to all the bar staff! I am in love with the jerk chicken and could have eaten a second plate, but as the bride, I was lucky to eat my one full plate! Seriously, an amazing business and they set up everything quietly and quickly. I didn't even notice they were there. And it included silverware, plates, napkins, and chafing dishes! Now I need to get some Ray Ray's... thank you guys!

The decor on the inside makes you feel like you transported to Broadway in Nashville. We stopped in for an appetizer and drinks.

Sure, it's probably pretty unhealthy, but calories don't count on the weekend right? I'm already looking forward to my next visit to try more of their menu. Of note, this place is only open Thursday thru Sunday, and the hours are funky so make sure they are open before you stop by.

The meats were on the drier side and had to be drenched in BBQ sauce for flavor. The brisket and pulled pork didn't have a smoky flavor. It was pulled, the top was dry, but the bottom was wet oddly. See some char on it but didn't taste it. Brisket had dry seasoning on top but didn't really help with flavor. The ribs here were decent. Comes with BBQ sauce already and was tender. Good sides. Value price for quick BBQ but wouldn't get again. One of those you get what you paid for places.

WOW! I remember…read moreHoggys under their origional owner with locations all over town. Well, the owner's son is bringing the brand back and today's lunch was total nostalgia! Meat is smoked onsite, sides are all house made using the original recipies. What's new is their "chipotle syle" service ( My words not theirs). Pick your meat (pork, brisket, chicken or turkey). Available as 4 ounce or 8 ounce, your base: (salad. Sandwhich bun, on a plate (bulk) or with Mac (I assume that is mac & cheese. Then they had a case of sides. We had the green beans, corn bread, mac and cheese, cole slaw and pickles. I dont know what sides we skipped. This felt like a lot. Oh and we added a wings. 5 for $5 bucks is a deal! I ordered the wingss with BBQ dry rub. The BBQ sauce selection was also part of the process. Do you want mustard based? Vinegar? Brown Sugar? We chose brown sugar and had 2 choices: one was sweet like a Sweet Baby Rays - Cincinnati style, Ithink and the other was sweet and tangy. We each got one of each of the briwn sugar options. Hubs went with tangy BBQ sauce pulled pork sandwhich topped with slaw and pickles. And a side of mac & cheese I ordered the lean brisket (had the option for a fatty cut of meat too) with the sweet BBQ sauce Once we paid at the counter we walked our loaded trays to the table of our choice and then got our drinks from the soda machine. Also available is their origional recipe for iced tea, sweet tea and lemonade. The lemonade was phenomenal! I know I've used that adjective twice in this review. It is well deserved.) We both ordered a cornbread muffin with cinamon honey butter. I have lots to say. First too many choices especially for the BBQ sauce. Tiny samples need to be part of the experience. Im thinking a popsicle stick dipped in the sauce for me to lick would be enough to decide. My salad base included a paper boat of iceburg lettuce topped with shredded cheddar cheese and pickled red onions. I ordered it with Ranch dressing. When I added a little of that Cincinnati sweet brown sugar sauce to the salad - it elevated the salad. Next time I will ask them to chop the brisket. Today it was served as 3 large chucks that I needed to cut to eat. My husbands pulled pork sandwhich started with a freshly buttered and toasted bun. The meat was chopped, and basted with the sweet and tangy brown sugar bbq sauce. They also addded a little pork render (fat) that was chopped into the pork befire piling it on the bun. Hubs put the cole slaw and pickles on the side because he doesnt like them but I do. There were a few other topping options but at the end of the day Hubs like just sauce, meat and bun. The sandwhich was phenomenal! We both loved it. My brisket was equally delicious. Neither of us can say which one was our favorite; pulled pork or brisket. The mac and cheese was a penne type noodle tossed in a cheese sauce but this was dryer. If you want gloopy cheese sauce then this is not for you. As it was, the cheese clung to each noodle. My husband LOVED it; I prefer more of a liquid cheese sauce. The green beans were salty. I wiuld like to see less salt used in the preparation. The corn beead was exceptional! Moist with cinamon in it. Hubs said if you dont like cinnamon then this is not for you. Im not sure I tasted the cinsmon but I only had one bite. Each muffin is served with a side of honey butter. I brought mine home for my son. If he doesnt like it, hubs and I will duke it out. LOL. Update: kiddo liked it Finally the ambience. It was very apparent from signage in the parking lot that the owner saved the Hoggy's restaurant decor. Inside art work was prominently displayed a large Mona Lisa, Girl with a pearl earring and American Gothic replicas each sporting pig noses. You too can pig up your own snout for just $3 from the display table when you walk in. (See what I did there? Pig up a snout LOL). High top seats at the bar are super comfy. The restaurant also had low tops and booths. Larger tables are perfect for families or friend groups. Utensils and napkins are available table side. The utensils look to be plastic but are actually metal - do not throw them away when you clear your table. Hoghys is an absolute 5restaurant. Im so glad we went back!

Fast forward to this weekend, gave them a second try without eating lunch. That did the job. I had a bit more appetite and appreciated the food a little better than the prior week. The meats at Hoggy's are smoked for hours. There are a lot of BBQ places in Columbus and this is average for me. I liked the cheesy potatoes and broccoli salad as sides to the ribs. I agree with Mark that the sauces aren't necessary here. I ate my meats (ribs and brisket) without the sauce. There is enough flavor on the meats in my opinion. I know I will be back again soon for more BBQ. I will just have to be more open minded again to trying more.

The local group also were very excited to be getting their food, so sounds like definitely a winner to those in the know. I opted for the 2 meat and 2 side lunch. I went with the pulled pork and smoked turkey with regular bbq sauce plus collard greens and potato salad. The pork and the turkey were both rock solid. Not necessarily a ton of smoky flavor from either, but both were tender, juicy, and delicious. Unfortunately, the collards were not to my liking. I hail from western NY and I can count on one hand how many times I've had them before and only once from a true southern/soul food joint. In this instance, I found them slightly bitter with the stems still quite crunchy and the juices on the less than pleasant side. I very rarely don't finish food and I couldn't do it. However, my coworker who also got the collards said they were fantastic, so I guess it's a preference thing. The potato salad honestly wasn't my favorite either. It had like almost an acidity to it that was different and slightly interesting, but almost a little overpowering for what I normally find to be a pretty low key side (for mayo-based potato salads, anyways). This one I did finish despite it not being my all-time favorite. Overall, a pretty solid experience, especially in the meat department. Maybe I just had bad luck with the sides and need to try others next time, but that part is holding me back from this being a really solid culinary experience.
