This place is INCREDIBLE! Hands down the best bbq in Cincinnati. It has a great atmosphere and the food is inexpensive. I highly recommend this restaurant for date nights, or just...

Worst

We had a to go order. There was no one in the restaurant at the time so they cannot use ""being busy"" as an excuse. Three side items were missing from our order when we arrived...

Editorial review from Citysearch 10/15/2013

There is definitely something to be said about customer service, which is something Big Art's employees are very much lacking. Rude and unfriendly, unappreciative of of our patronage, absolutely no people skills whatsoever. Which is a shame because the food is really good. But I will not be a returning customer. Might I suggest an equally delicious BBQ joint with excellent customer service? Pit To Plate. more

Monster Rib Portion my style 7/31/2009

Definitely one of the top 3 rib places in Cincinnati, Ohio. These are ""smoked"" outside ribs and not just smokey flavored sauce. Meat on the bone is very thick and juicy. Thanks. Pros: Portions + price by the number of empty rib bones-good. Cons: Get there before 5:30 to get a seat with blues music. more

THE BEST RIBS IN THE WORLD ! 5/8/2009

I have been to 36 states and I have not found a restaurant that had ribs as good as BIG ARTS ! I heard BIG ARTS has other good things on their menus. But I would not know. Because I can not go there and order something else other than their ribs. Pros: THE BEST RIBS IN THE WORLD ! more

bad food bad service just plain bad all around 1/4/2009

We had a to go order. There was no one in the restaurant at the time so they cannot use ""being busy"" as an excuse. Three side items were missing from our order when we arrived home. When I called to rectify the situation I was told it was my problem and they were not at fault. The side items that were in there were terrible anyway. I will say this, the ribs and pulled pork were good. Later after all of the back and forth with the very rude and incompetent manager, and still not getting compensated for our missing items, I come to find out they charged my account for a $20.00 tip that I did not authorize. Pros: pulled pork and ribs Cons: all other food and customer service more

Poor customer service 8/25/2008

Everyone at the table said the ribs are better than Mont Inn. But I requested a med well steak and had to send it back twice. Someone at another table received onion straws and when I inquired they stated I did not order the ""right"" steak to get the onion straws. Even after the 2nd req to cook my steak as requested, you would have thought they'd give me the onion straws to make up for the under cooking of my steak, but NO! I even offered to pay for them and was turned down. Their ""I do not care"" attitude will keep me away from ever going back. They do not understand customer service. Pros: Good ribs Cons: they do not care if you come back more

Not worth the Hype! 3/9/2006

Yes, the food is good. But for the money they shouldn't charge extra for everything! Things like extra BBQ suace for your Ribs should be included. They seem to be running a atmosphere of a HIGH END restaurant with good food but with an ""I don't care if you ever come back"" attitude. While it sits in a strip center with a gravel parking lot and a smokey room with a sports bar/home interior design decor. Overall I wouldn't recommend. The food it good but in this case I don't think the good out weights the bad. Customer Serivce will make or break a dining experience. I have had many dinners in Big Art's and sadly they have all been this way. Therefore I have given up and will not be returning. There are other BBQ places in Cincinnati that are happy you are there! Pros: Food Cons: Customer Service, Price, Less than 15 tables more

The Best 7/13/2004

Big Arty's is easily the best barbeque restaurant in Cincinnati- hands down. They have a huge menu, serve large portions and have a great friendly, neighborhood restaurant feel that meshes well with barbeque. I highly recommend Big Art's over all others: especially Montgomery Inn and Burbank's! Pros: Real wood smoke, Inexpensive, Friendly Atmosphere more
