It was ok. There is no extensive beer list as another review mentioned. Apparently, there's a different beer menu upstairs according to the person who seated us upstairs. Our server was was ok. He didn't seem especially interested in us or his job. I picked the place because they have hush puppies and I love those. (Turns out it's a bad reason to choose a restaurant. They were as cold as the fries, which we sent them both back. We got hot of each on the second try. The mac and cheese was ice cold too, but I didn't want to be a complete whiner. It was bland anyway, so it being microwaved wouldn't have mattered. The beans were ok. The catfish I had was salty (it wasn't my fault; no salt or pep...
This place is awesome, if you like Smoked BBQ, [Briskets, Ribs], Beer, Cocktails, Whisk(e)ys [Bourbons, Scotches] and Great Wings. One of the top wing places in Cincinnati area! My opinion of course! Definitely on my list of go tos. Named after Walter Newton Justis 1905 pitcher nicknamed Smoke. Local guy Born in Morres Hill,IN and died in Greendale, IN. This place has a great Wait staff, very knowledgeable Mixologist back in the Whisk(e)y bar and the atmosphere is really cool. I will definitely back and spread the word how cool this place is.
Nice walk from downtown Cincinnati across the bridge. Got there a little after 4, and it was 'seat yourself ' style. Not crowded, but it was before everybody was off work. Ordered the 3-meat platter and added beans. Had 3 sauces: house, vinegar based and mustard based. Everything was very good, except the greens didn 't have any seasoning! If you need a nice BBQ fix, I 'd suggest this place!
Nice place. Fast service although it was 9pm on a Monday. Brisket was fatty and very good. Nice to have good Brisket mac and cheese. Not too much cheese either. One of the best I've had. Wings were thick and cooked properly. Ordered naked with sauce. The house BBQ is excellent. You can taste the vinegar and still thick and balanced. Service was prompt and they take care of you.

I I could give more than 5 stars I would because I am a picky eater. Dustin was the best host we have had since Covid- he knew the menu. The Food truly exceeded my expectation. We decided to go with a variety of meats, Mac is a must try.Damon the General manager even set up my work Christmas party reservations.Excellent service and food!
Smoke Justis is one of the best smokehouse restaurants I’ve been to in a long time. If you’re traveling from Columbus to Kentucky, it’s definitely worth a stop! Whenever you’re in Kentucky, you must try it. The prices are excellent, the customer service is outstanding, and the atmosphere is wonderfully inviting.
I visited Smoke Justis for the first time and loved their impressive bourbon selection and the excellent bartenders. Although I didn’t try any food since I had a late lunch, the menu looked incredible, and all the dishes around me appeared delicious. Next time, I’ll be sure to come hungry!
Smoke Justis is a wonderful place to enjoy a meal with family and friends. Various types of Kentucky bourbon. The smoked brisket and pulled pork were off the chart good. Spend an afternoon enjoying a meal, watching a KY basketball and spending time with friends.

This was my first visit, and I’m so happy we finally came! The chili was the standout dish of the meal. I especially enjoyed the street tacos, with the pulled pork being my favorite. I also tried the brunch, which was fantastic. We’ll definitely be back!
The atmosphere is fantastic, and the food is really tasty. We typically come here to pregame before Bengals' home games.
