You can even taste a little bit of the pepper in the sauce. Very limited menu. They do not smoke chicken or other meats only brisket and ribs. They have burgers and other items.

Very small establishment, limited seating, not the cleanest looking place but again the small places like this that are typically the best

First of all, let me just say--this was one of the best meals I've had in a very long time. My…read morefriend and I were both genuinely impressed from start to finish. The table service was excellent; our server was a young lady who was incredibly helpful, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. What really stood out was how fast our food arrived--honestly unmatched by any restaurant I've been to before. We both agreed that the next time we're anywhere near the Chillicothe area, this place is a must-stop. The smoked brisket was amazing, and the cornbread completely surprised me--I usually don't even like cornbread, but this was absolutely delicious. The pulled pork and potato studs were equally delicious, and the portions were generous, which made the meal even more satisfying. It was a great meal, and we're very happy we decided to come. If you're in or passing through the Chillicothe area, I highly recommend stopping by Old Canal Smokehouse. You will not be disappointed. Thank you for an excellent meal!

If so, I'll update this review.

The restaurant appeared clean and was nicely decorated (except the Holsteins really didn't make a lot of sense.) The brisket seasoning was decent, but the meat was slightly dry (we ate in their parking lot.) The fries were awful. They tasted like they were cooked in oil that wasn't hot enough. The mac & cheese tasted like school cafeteria (overcooked noodles and odd taste.) The hot and sweet sauces appear to be vinegar based which I'm not a fan of. The hot isn't too bad. This location just opened up so I'd be willing to try them again, dining it. It was a relief to see employees smoking the food right outside (as we've encountered several bbq places that claim to serve smoked meat but don't actually smoke it.)

Original stained glass still in place and some photos of the building when still used as a house of worship. And yet, dining out has to be about good food. And Pig Candy delivers! I had the pulled pork and turkey. Both were perfectly moist and succulent (the pork had just enough bark in each bite). I ordered the red and gold sauces, but when my food came to me, the young man said he also brought a sample of the white sauce since it's his favorite for the turkey. He is most def an honest young man! It was a great combo, with the red and gold both sturdy and suitable for the pork. Many folks have many opinions about mac and cheese, but this was how I like it. The green beans had some sausage added for a great flavor, though slightly under salted for my tastes--and easily remedied with a quick shake. I'm not one in need of GF options, though I noticed them on the menu as well as well-marked V options. The pumpkin bar was a great finish to the meal.

Felt like I was at a backyard get together with the family. Service was pretty quick. The only thing I didn't like was how you have to pay upfront and of course they ask you to tip. Why would you tip if you don't know what the food and service is like (for those who are new to this place). Both locations are the same. Matter of fact I think all BBQ places here in Cincinatti are like that. It's still a great place to eat! Come check it out.

I recently got to try Buck's through a catered lunch at work, and I was pleasantly surprised…read more The food was delivered hot and made the meeting room smell delicious. I got a tray with a pulled pork sandwich, cowboy beans, and coleslaw. The pork was very flavorful with just enough smoke for my tastes, and it went well with the barbecue sauce it came with. I was also impressed with the cowboy beans. Typically, I do not care for beans cooked with beef, but these had a good balance between the two. It also had different varieties of beans that I appreciated. It was savory and filled me up. Lastly, the coleslaw was also good but nothing to write home about. My lunch left me satisfied without being stuffed, which is often an issue I have with barbecue. The only complaint I could see with this meal is portion sizes. While it was a comfortable serving size for myself, I could see others finding the amount of meat given too little for their money and stomachs. Even with the sides, I considered this meal to be lighter than most barbecue I have had. After this experience, I cannot wait for a chance to have a meal at the actual restaurant.

My mother's ribs were delish. She raved about the slaw and the greens. We intend to support this excellent mom and pop establishment.

Spent over $70 on 2 Sliced Brisket, a Brisket Sandwich and Brisket plate, with mac and cheese, a loaded potato, and a sweet tea... except the sweet tea pulled a Houdini and never appeared or maybe it got raptured before pickup because it never arrived. The sliced brisket portions were so small I thought they accidentally packed the sample platter or maybe the rest was still smoking in the back. For $14.95, don't expect "half-pound brisket". The brisket edges actually tasted pretty good, but the middle tasted like roast beef that once saw a picture of a smoker online. The smoked mac and cheese contributed absolutely nothing to society -- no smoke, barely any cheese, just hot disappointment in a cup. Meanwhile, the loaded baked potato showed up ready to save the franchise. When we called about the issues and asked for the food difference or a refund, we were told this is just "how it's supposed to be" and they can't refund food because they "can't resell it." Good news: I don't think anyone was trying to buy it a second time anyway. Really wanted this place to be great, but this carryout experience got cooked harder than the brisket
