Why Smoked on High why was this picked
Smoked on High smokes its Certified Angus Beef brisket for 18 hours under a salt, pepper and sugar rub that the menu says builds a sticky-sweet candy bark. White Marble Farms pork shoulder gets a 15-hour hickory smoke, and competition dry rub spare ribs run from $10 for three bones to $38 for a full slab. Adding an everything seasoned challah bun costs $1. The 755 S High St shop is open Wednesday through Sunday 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. or until sellout, and a kosher truck, Smoked on Chai, runs separately.

Know before you go
We keep Smoked on High in the top tier for brisket with real bark and pulled pork that does not need a sauce crutch. The brick-and-mortar room at 755 S. High Street anchors German Village BBQ nights, with a food truck schedule when you want the mobile stop instead of the dining room. Meals for two usually stay in the $$ range if you arrive before popular cuts sell out on a regular weeknight visit.
Brick-and-mortar hours run Wednesday through Sunday 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. or until sold out; Monday and Tuesday are closed. There are no reservations, so come early for popular cuts. Park along S. High near German Village. Cross-check other finalists on our best BBQ in Columbus ranking.
