Smoked, slow-cooked and super-secret sauce recipes. The Cincinnati area has an abundance of barbeque joints, from good ol' country cookin' to upscale establishments with history.
At Goodies, it's all about the Southern-style barbeque. Their menu has a wide variety of barbequed chicken, ribs and sandwiches in a number of different sizes (you can order a whole barbeque chicken, for example, or simply a leg). After licking the sauce off your fingers, dive into a sweet dessert, like peach cobbler or sweet potato pie.
How do slow-cooked ribs sound? Or perhaps hand-pulled pork paired with mashed potatoes and coleslaw? Get all the downhome favorites at Walt's Barbeque.
