Why B&K Smokehouse why was this picked
We list B&K for the under-radar votes that keep surfacing when Columbus talks hidden barbecue: rib tips, sauced ribs, and carryout that feels neighborhood-first. The East Main room is simple, and that is part of the charm for regulars who want smoke without a tasting-menu price. It suits Near East Side runs when you want a local tip over a tourist line.
