Absolutely phenomenal authentic southern BBQ. This is the best barbecue I've ever had. The ribs fall off the bone, the macaroni pie is incredible and it's got the best cornbread I've ever eaten. I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough - 10/10 food and excellent portions. The price is great for the quality of the food. Definitely a place you have to try if you're in town. The staff were also a real delight, very lovely people. Overall an excellent restaurant - one of the best in the city and definitely the best for BBQ.

The owner was so friendly and went above and beyond. The food was amazing!!! Portions are massive and the flavours were so good too. The ribs and mac and cheese were a personal favourite for me but everything we ordered was really good too. It’s definitely a new staple for us!

Everything is smoked fresh, you can smell the aroma outside the door. The brisket was amazing, super tender and flavourful. It paired well with their barbecue and cream sauce. The mac and cheese was also great and was a big portion size. Corn bread wasn’t too sweet and was moist. Owners are very kind, would highly recommend for barbecue.

OMGosh offers an authentic home-cooked BBQ taste. The first time I ate it, no joke, it reminded me of family cookouts of my childhood. Each time I visit, the meat always has this juicy, fall-off-the-bone, and melt-in-your-mouth quality. And don't sleep on the sides. The mac & cheese is rich and filling. And I have yet to find a cornbread that can compare.

OMGosh BBQ is relatively new to Kingston. They had really good chicken and brisket. The chicken was on the smaller side, but the taste was there and it came with bread. The coen bread and candied yams were my favourite. It was just the right amount of sweetness. I didn't care too much for the cucumber salad. I just wished they added my mac n cheese. I checked the receipt and I didn't pay for it, but it was one of the first things I asked for. I was excited to try it until I opened my bag and it wasn't there... There wasn't a lot of seating or parking. I would go back if I was craving BBQ and to try their mac n cheese.

Fall off the bone and best bbq I've had in Canada are words that get thrown around too often. Not here though. Got the ribs, the chicken, the candied yams and the cornbread. Ribs were indeed fall off the bone, beautifully and aggressively smoked with charred bits all over. Incredible sauce and just overall the best ribs I've ever had. Chicken was intensely flavoured with smoke. Also fall off the bone and incredibly juicy. Get both sauces, they're both delicious, but the aged cheddar was my personal favourite. Candied yams were very very sweet but very tasty. I just had a little because they were so sweet, but man the yams and cinnamon really come through fantastically on the delicious bread that seems homemade. Good cornbread is hard to find, fantastic cornbread I thought just didn't exist around here. Well look no further cornbread fans, crumby but solid, sweet and savoury, rich corn flavour and a beautiful crusty exterior. Perfection all around. Family-run so you might wait a few extra minutes, but do not let that stop you. It just means a little extra time for genuine and kind service. Will be back soon for the brisket.

This location has a top rating and that is totally valid. I tried this place for the first time today. I'd heard a lot about it and I was not disappointed. The food was prepared very quickly and the chicken that I ordered was incredible. It's cut up so that there's no bones in it. Maybe a little bit of gristle but It's so soft that you can it. I enjoy doing that anyways. Definitely going to return. I need to make a special trip back here just to try the brisket for sure. I honestly have not tasted such great barbecue since Jamaica.

Food is fantastic, especially the corn bread man I should buy more. Beef brisket is nice, melt in your mouth! Support this local owned business, support our community!
