Beards & Bellies Barbecue

"The ribs, chicken wings & pulled pork were really great! The pulled pork had so much flavor. The potato salad tasted so fresh, not store bought like most restaurants. The slaw was very pickled but very very good to pair with the bread and meat. BUT that was the worst brisket I have ever had. It tasted like microwaved BBQ. It comes chopped but into small harder chunked squares. Not at all tender or marbled like standard chopped brisket. The sauce comes already on the brisket, which is just a preference but I was not a fan of. Over all the food was good but not worth the price for BBQ."

"Super laid back and chill. Awesome BBQ, wings are the BEST! Great beer selection on tap, a little something for everyone."

"I walked to this BBQ joint to grab lunch. Had no idea it was in a bar, but it's absolutely the BEST BBQ IN NEWPORT!!! I ordered a full rack of ribs and a brisket slider to-go. The man who took my order was very friendly, as well as the guy who was cooking. Even tho it was 3 minutes before listed opening time, I sensed no annoyance with my being there. I waited outside with their buzzer, and about 15 minutes later, I was given everything perfectly packaged for the walk home. They even made sure to tell me that the pickles were packaged in a way where they'd stay cold and crisp. When I got home, I couldn't believe the quality and quantity of my meal. As of now ( a day later) I'm eating more ribs as leftovers and still have more for later. Great tasting food, great service, awesome experience! Would highly recommend. Thanks, guys!"

"We were traveling from Louisville KY to home in Akron Ohio. We were craving some bbq! We found Beards and Belly and went to check it out. We were so happy we did! Food was AMAZING!! Their recipe for greens, potato salad and pickle salad were the best we’ve ever had!! BBQ was AMAZING! Brisket, pork belly and sausage! It was definitely finger licking good!! The atmosphere and the jolly bearded guys were so friendly too! We will be back!"

"Good BBQ! The brisket is already covered in BBQ sauce. The portions don't look big but the BBQ plate satisfied my hunger. This is located inside Wooden Cask Brewing Company. You have to order and pickup your food yourself from their counter."
