Eli’s BBQ considered best in state by foodie site Chowhound

Eli’s BBQ is once again turning heads. This time, it’s nabbed the attention of foodie website Chowhound as the best BBQ in the state of Ohio.

Eli’s — which can be found at Findlay Market and in the East End — is known for its laidback, no-nonsense approach to its BBQ, and its locations. Although the Findlay Market location is takeout only, the atmosphere of the East End restaurant is that of a family picnic.
