Been waiting for this place to open for awhile. Today was the day. Showed up and went inside. Inside is decorated like a backyard. Come to find out the picnic tables were made by someone locally. There is a lot of cute signage on the inside of the business, making it a comfortable setting. I met with Caleb the owner and Reba the General Manager and Cindy who was taking orders and running the register. This is a Family run business, with plenty of members. They also have an outdoor patio are with plenty of tables. On to the food because it definitely about the food. I ordered the Brisket, Pulled pork, mac and cheese, chipotle beans, coleslaw and Texas Toast. The Brisket and Pulled Pork were smoked with walnut wood. Had a nice mild flavor to them, both were super moist. The mac and cheese looked like an old fashioned mac and cheese with the small elbow macaroni but the surprise was they used a Gruyere cheese in it, super smooth and delicious tasting. On to the surprise of all the dishes, chipotle beans. I was half expecting some sort of baked beans from this, NOT!!! It was a dish made with chipotle beans, chipotle peppers, bbq sauce, garlic and a number of other secret ingredients. This definitely revved up my taste buds, Yummy!!! The coleslaw was made with ALL FRESH ingredients, nothing bagged here, all of it was hand chopped fresh vegetables. The dressing was a light homemade vinegar based dressing, that was off the chart. The final thing was Texas Toast, nice n thick with an off the chart butter solution on it. OMG, I could have sat there all day eating just that. To say it mildly I was surprised at the high level of BBQ being put out by them. They definitely took the time to come up with a great menu of outstanding dishes for their customers. Welcome to the next hottest BBQ Restaurant. Don't miss out on this opportunity. They are currently open 1100-0800 PM Friday-Sunday..

As I entered Centerburg, on my way to Smithhisler, I saw a BBQ banner on the side of the road. I was sure to make a mental note because I'm always looking for great BBQ.

I finished stocking up at Smithhisler Meats and felt the hunger set in. I decided it was time to eat, so I busted out my cell and punched in the words "Centerburg" and "BBQ". Google found it pretty quickly. A quick skim of reviews and I knew I had to see for myself. GPS was set and awaaaay we go!

It's just a little off the main road, 36, and appears to be at the back of a small golf course. Main parking to the right and 3 carryout spots upfront to the left. As I entered the property, I saw a father and son carrying bags in each hand with enough BBQ to feed a small army. Clearly, they are fans! Can't wait!

The family running the place was very nice and helpful. The inside is very rustic and spacious. Everything was clean and the menus were clear and easy to read. The prices are more than reasonable and the portions are exactly what you want from a BBQ joint. Also, they have a wide selection of very affordable beers and a nice covered patio to enjoy them on.

I got the Brisket Meal with Green Beans and Mac for $12.50 and an additional side of Baked Beans for $2.50. The food traveled back to Columbus and was still just as good as I had hoped.

The brisket was very tender and pulled apart with ease. I had cuts from various parts of the brisket, with the right amount of fat for each respective cut.
The mac n cheese was an excellent consistency. I suspect they may use the "house made cheese sauce" that they have listed on the menu.
The green beans were tender and very flavorful.
The baked beans had diced onion and bell pepper with a sweet flavor. The buttery Texas Toast was soft by the time I got home, but I threw it in thr toaster oven and was perfect.

I will definitely be back!

This is a good BBQ place...

I liked the sampler platter because it gave good exposure to all that they serve. It is a lot of food. I think there is room for improvement and refinement in their food but it was a good experience and the food was good. It is worth a visit...

Got a brisket meal with fries and broccoli salad, everything was amazing 👏 brisket was tender with a great char, fries were crispy and seasoned perfectly. The broccoli salad was perfect for a hot humid day. My wife got the untraditional wings and loved them

A casual place to eat. The service was quick. Portions are large. Prices are very reasonable. The BBQ style is about bringing out the rich flavor of quality meat. It's not about covering up the meat in a sauce. The star here is the meat! The brisket was juicy and tender. There is a nice touch of bark but not thick, wasted burnt ends. The sauces are served on the side as not to overwhelm the meat.
There are 3 sauces to choose from: traditional, sweet, and Chipotle. Liked all three!

Phenomenal place, family owned and operated. BBQ was the best I've had in years. The food has nuances from Texas and carolina. Everything is made in-house, even the sauces. We (2of us) got the sampler and had 2 take out boxes full of leftovers. Do Not miss out on Build a Brew BBQ!
