Long story short I tried the other BBQ place before coming here. The difference is daylight and dark! I ordered the beef brisket at the other so-called BBQ restaurant and I threw 3/4th of it in the trash. It was disgusting! The next day I decided to give Combs a try. OMG THE BEEF BRISKET WAS SO GOOD! I'm not big on giving glowing reviews unless they are well deserved. And Combs deserves a glowing review. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you give Combs a try I promise you will not regret it. As for that other so-called BBQ restaurant in town don't waste your money. Combs on the other hand totally AMAZING!!!

Had a blast here. Small BBQ joint but wow...the brisket was phenomenal. There's not much when it comes to service (seating seems more there for your convenience) but the baked beans were best in class. Not a single complaint here.

I would really rate this a 3.5 stars.
The sandwich- overall it was decent the brisket had good texture and a great dmoke ring but lacked smoke flavor. By the time I got to the car the bottom bun was soggy and the BBQ sauce taste like Arby's sauce. But the most important part was the meat and I'd eat it again
Mac n cheese- overall good flavor but lacked salt n pepper
Potato salad- was good old fashioned style Potato salad again lacked salt n pepper.
I will return and give it a 2nd chance

This place is small but pack a punch in taste. OMG, love the beef brisket and baked beans, delicious. The place is a bit hidden but locals come in. Lunch our today was busy, but we got taken care promptly by friendly staff.

The one complaint I have about this place is that they are always, without fail, out of something whenever we make it there.
That said, the food you can get, is delicious.

Such a cute little place, we both had brisket sandwiches and they were so delicious and I loved their BBQ sauce!

Good food but one lady doing orders tried to pull a fast one on me and trick me into tipping her. Sorry, im not tipping you $5/$6 for handing me a bag at the register. You didnt do anything lol.

Enjoyed it tremendously! Just go, soak in the ambience, and enjoy the succulent brisket and baked beans with a hint of spicy. Next time, can't wait to try the pulled pork tacos....

Small place with fun decorations. Great ribs! Very good wings. BBQ sauce was sweet with hint of blackberry?

A quick drive from Miami University Regionals Middletown campus, this is my go-to lunch place. Smokey pulled pork meets a sweet and tangy sauce. Paired with a soda and a side of delicious Mac-and-cheese … you can’t go wrong. Ample street and parking in the back. Friendly service and a nostalgic inside decor. Be sure to ask about the owner’s father, Keith Combs and which signs and guitars are his creations.
