Yelp has no love for Ohio barbecue, but this NKY restaurant ranks among the best in U.S.
Fire up the grills because it's National Barbecue Day.
Yelp released a list of the top 100 Barbecue Spots in 2024 in the United States, and one Northern Kentucky restaurant made the cut. Harmon's Barbecue, in Fort Wright, took the no. 68 spot on the list.
The family-owned, Texas-style barbecue restaurant ranked above The Smokin' Pig in Pendleton, South Carolina (69), and behind Wiley's Championship BBQ in Savannah, Georgia. No other restaurants from Kentucky or Ohio were included.
Out of the 32 states included, Texas had the most restaurants on the list, with 12. California had 11, and Florida had 8.
To make the list, the restaurant must have a certain number of reviews and engagement with keywords like "barbecue" listed in the review. In addition, the restaurant must pass a health review to make the cut, Yelp said on its website. Reviewers also had the opportunity to weigh in on their favorite barbecue spots for the final result.
