    This Place is Absolutely Phenomenal, service was great. The Waffles and Chicken were presented nice the waffles crisp but soft. The Brisket is great and it was a hair salty today but didn’t take away from the overall taste. Can’t wait to return.

    We enjoyed the Sunday brunch. Lots of options of meat and sides. Would have appreciated another vegetable. Service was great and environment was fun.

    My son goes to Miami University and we live in Cleveland. We were looking for a place in the middle to meet and have Easter brunch together. Bristol popped up as a location having a brunch buffet, so we gave it a shot. Boy were we blown away!! Food was absolutely delicious and so much to choose from. The ambiance of the bar/restaurant was so fun and reminded me of being in Nashville. Would definitely eat here again next time we drive through Columbus!

    Best brisket in Cbus and the value of the Sunday All-You-Can-Eat can't be beat.

    We enjoyed a lovely brunch today. I had the chicken and waffles; both were great. My husband had the southwestern scramble with brisket. He loved it. We'll be back.

    The food service was a little slow. The length between order to food was LONG, but it was WORTH the wait. 5 different orders and all of them done fantastic!

    Simply one of the best BBQ joints I have ever eaten in. And, I am a BBQ snob! Everything was so very good, pulled pork, chicken, and ribs, but the brisket was truly exceptional! And, the fried chicken deviled eggs are an absolute masterpiece! Don't miss this place if you are anywhere near Columbus.
