House of BBQ & Blues

Sometimes driving around aimlessly leads you to places like this. I was hoping to find something different to eat without much of a wait and I found it. Initially I drove past thinking it was just a run of the mill food truck, but then I saw the front with BBQ on it. I quickly hit the next side street and swung back. I am glad I did.
I grabbed the Boston Blues Sandwich for $ 10 with a $ 2 potato Salad. The potato salad is a mustard based salad and quite pleasant to dine on. Also easier to eat while driving than the BBQ sandwich. The sandwich is just pure splendid fork dining which means it is not a hands only meal. I tried but my hand was filled with sauce and meat, coleslaw, and jalapenos were falling to the side. This sandwich is the brisket and pork together which was juicy and tender even at the end of their day. They were closing shop in the next hour and the food was still full of juice. I loved the messy sandwich with the hot BBQ sauce. If you live in the area, they have a grubhub coupon for $ 10 off which is quite a good deal.
This place is on my list especially if you are around Children’s hospital and needing something to eat without fast food, cafeteria, or wanting to sit down. The owner was working the shop when i pulled up and is a great guy.

My wife and I stopped by for lunch this afternoon. It was amazing! I had the brisket sandwich with mac & cheese and my wife had «The Boston Blues» — (brisket & pulled pork topped with bbq sauce, slaw and jalpeno peppers). She also had the greens. The lady that took our order was happy, helpful and engaging. While we waited for our orders, we read an article taped to the window about the place. Tamaul Boston learned to bbq while in the service. While trained as a network tech, his passion was to open his own bbq joint. Well, he was taught right because his bbq is awesome. It has a rich smoky taste, good sauce and the brisket was melt in your mouth delicious. I mentioned this was the first time for us and Tamaul and his wife Nikki (who happened to be the lady that took our order.) came outside the trailer and chatted with us while we ate. They are the real deal couple, just delightful, and if you have an inkling of desire for barbecue, this is a must try place!

I got the brisket sandwich and Mac n cheese… It tasted great! The meat was tender and the amount of sauce was perfect! Make sure you stop by this spot if you want some good BBQ!

This is the BBQ I’ve been searching for in Columbus.
As a Louisiana boy, the BBQ I grew up loving was more Texas-​style, and the sauce was more vinegary — definitely not this sweet thick sauce that’s so popular in the 614. I know BBQ can be polarizing, and it’s all about preferences. This just so happens to be the BBQ that I prefer.
House of BBQ & Blues is nothing fancy, and that’s what’s so awesome about it. It’s a simple truck down Parsons Ave with a few picnic tables that are the perfect spot to eat your perfect meal. Cbus adventurers — this will be your new favorite.
The menu is simple… exactly the way it should be. Ribs, rib tips, chicken, turkey legs, brisket, pulled pork, and a handful of homemade sides to boot. The ribs and tips sell out quick, but I promise you won’t be let down if you have to go with your second choice. The brisket was perfectly smoked and almost buttery — just the right amount of fat-​to-​meat ratio. And the sides! I had the baked beans and potato salad; both were perfect. The beans were not thick and syrupy sweet, thank goodness.
THAT SAUCE THOUGH…
I love good smoked meats that don’t necessarily need sauce. But if I’m going to have sauce, I want it to be thin, vinegary, peppery and NOT SWEET. And for the love of Gaga, not have whatever that spice is that Cbus BBQ spots LOVE putting in their sauce. (What is that anyway? Cinnamon?) I thought this sauce didn’t exist in Columbus until today.
Yep, the sauce at House of BBQ & Blues is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. Heck, everything here is what I’ve been looking for. If you’re not pretentious and bougie and just want some delicious smoked meat and homemade sides — make your plan right now to come check this place out.
Oh, with all my rambling about how delicious the food is, I almost forgot to say how fantastic the owner is. This is the nicest guy — the kind you want to root for. He’s just trying to live his dream and make delicious BBQ. I say let’s help him do both.

This place was great! Ribs were delicious! Worth the drive from Grove City to get the ribs! The side orders of collard greens and potato salad is just like my grandma use to make. Very authentic place and the Blues music makes very much like home and a comfortable setting. Thank you very much for the delicious lunch today!!!

I got the head’s up on this place from a Unilocal email called «The best BBQ youve never had».
They were right.
I got the last half slab of ribs for the day, small greens, small mac n cheese, and peach cobbler. The ribs were full ribs, so you get baby back, tips, etc… the whole shebang. Of course, they were falling off the bone and full of smoky goodness. MINOR GRIPE: it was a tad dry at the end end of the rib, but you know what redeemed it? The sauce. I opted for the hot n spicy bbq sauce, and it was perfect. I wouldn’t even go for the regular, and I haven’t even tried it.
The owner and his wife were friendly, we chatted it up while they boxed everything. I have a feeling I’m going to be spending a LOT of money here.

First time checking out this place. This is my new favorite BBQ in Columbus. The ribs are fantastic… big, meaty, smokey, and the perfect amount of falling off the bone. I got the hot BBQ sauce. Collard greens are good too, mixed with shredded turkey.

This is some of the best BBQ I’ve had in Columbus. Period. And it’s not just the meat, all of the sides we tried were delicious!
You can find this truck in a permanent location on Parsons, a little ways South of the new Crest in an empty parking lot. They’re here 4 days a week, and I’m assuming they stay open until they run out of food. The page has their hours listed, but they had already run out of some things by the time we got there. Unfortunately, that’s to be expected of good BBQ. The truck’s run by a husband and wife team, and they’re incredibly friendly and helpful.
I wanted to try the rib tips, but this past Saturday a big party had come right before us and wiped them out of a lot of things. Also, the weather wasn’t great, so they hadn’t made all that much. I ended up going with a half slab of ribs and the baked beans. My girlfriend grabbed the brisket sandwich and potato salad. They give you a lot of food, and they crank it out pretty quick. You can choose between a hot and a regular BBQ sauce which they’ll slather on the ribs and brisket, but you could probably ask for it on the side. We had to go with the hot.
Man, these are some great ribs! They fall off the bone but not to the point where they’re overcooked, and the spicy BBQ sauce on top is amazing! It has a pretty good kick to it so beware if you don’t like your food spicy. The half slab was plenty for me, but damn, I wanted more. And the baked beans? Incredibly. The woman told me she makes them homemade, and they were so damn good. They also had a little bit of a kick to them.
My girlfriend loved her brisket as well, and that potato salad was so creamy and tangy. I can see why people like that so much. I ended up eating almost all of that as well.
Honestly, I could see myself back here every Saturday and probably during the week too for lunch. These two know what they’re doing, so don’t let the location in the middle of a random parking lot fool you. Remember, that’s where Ray Ray’s started! I’m excited to try this mac and cheese as well as the rib tips and smoked chicken. They had quite a few things on the menu that looked delicious, so you can bet I’ll be back right when they open, so I don’t miss out, and you should too!

They’re BACK! I was confused as restaurants come and go and business can be up and down for new places. Sure winter happened and they are a food truck. So maybe it was seasonal. But the truck was gone for a while and no signs as to what was up. Then I noticed a week or so ago it was open but I had already eaten. Sporadic times make me nervous.
Well I was on my way walking to lunch at Alchemy and there they were! Open! Hours posted and all. I hope they keep to the hours so people know what’s going on. Nothing worse then going somewhere during their hours and it being closed, or worse, the truck completely gone.
Okay, enough of that.
I got the, geesh I forget what it’s called… a sandwich the BBQ blue or something. It is DELICIOUS! Their Potato Salad is the bomb. Get Here.

So I woke up at 5:30 this morning wanting a GOOD BBQ pulled pork sandwich with some collards and Mac n cheese. So what did I do I got on Unilocal.Third down on the list was this place. Been past it several times but never stopped. Today is the day ! Told the husband that’s what we are having for dinner. I had to drop our babysitter off at home and this place was on the way so why not stop try a sample incase it was a let down. Low n behold… Place is EXACTLY what I wanted. Bbq full of flavor and amazing. They aren’t afraid of seasonings ! Collard greens were right on point and the Mac n cheese was how I like. My two year even said yummy mommy. We will be back this evening for the rest of our dinner!

This is the best BBQ in Columbus. The brisket is quite possibly the best I’ve ever had. The green beans and mac and cheese are also amazing.

Good stuff! Pescatarian here, but my husband really liked the ribs and green beans. The mac & cheese that I snagged off his plate was to die for. Seriously dangerous since this place is a stone’s throw from my house! Quick, courteous service and there is ample parking in the same lot that their truck occupies.

This is the best BBQ ever! Totally enjoyed the ribs and sides. Tender ribs with awesome sauce! Sides were fresh and tasty! Check it out!
