Sweets & Meats BBQ Is A Hidden Gem Restaurant In Cincinnati That Serves The Best Southern BBQ

There’s nothing like a hot, sunny day and a plate of smoked barbecue sitting in front of you. Cincinnati may not be known for its BBQ, but that doesn’t mean the Queen City doesn’t offer several mouthwatering options. You can get a plate of ribs and pulled pork, along with homemade sides, and dessert at a few local eateries, and one of the best is Sweets & Meats BBQ in Mt. Washington. What started in a parking lot, grew to a carryout destination, food truck, and catering business that is a favorite of many, and you’ll also want to chow down on the traditional southern BBQ at this hidden gem restaurant in Cincinnati.

Sweets & Meats first started in 2014, as they literally set up shop in a parking lot in Mt. Washington. It didn't take long for locals to smell the smoky flavors that were being served up from this smoker, and thus the loyal following began.

The traditional southern BBQ smoked by Sweets & Meats is as flavorful as it gets and you can try it in a number of forms. Go with a slab of ribs, pulled pork, pulled chicken, rib tips, or sliced brisket. It's this meat that allowed this little company to expand and grow into what it is today.

After success in the parking lot, Sweets & Meats took to the streets with a food truck. You'll still see this mobile BBQ restaurant at all of the big events around Cincinnati.

And then in 2017, Sweets & Meats added a brick and mortar location with a carryout restaurant, still in Mt. Washington. Now everyone can easily stop by when those BBQ cravings hit.

The carryout menu at Sweets & Meats is deep in flavor and southern specialties. While all of the meats are smoky perfection, you'll have a hard time choosing a favorite side as well.

Your best bet, especially for your first visit, is to go with your choice of meat, and then order a variety of sides. The mac & cheese is a must, but the sweet potato casserole, collard greens, and cornbread are all equally as tasty.

In addition to the food truck and carryout, Sweets & Meats earns rave reviews for their catering services. You can choose to just pick up a large amount of food for a gathering or they can do all the work for you at any size event.

Sweets & Meats is a frontrunner in the Cincinnati BBQ scene, thanks to its traditional southern barbecue, as well as its homemade sides, sweets, and stellar customer service.
