Reds Backyard Barbeque

What a fun little place! We were going to Lynd Fruit Farm and passed Reds on the way, and we were starving so we tried it. Great find.
The pull pork was my favorite although the brisket is delicious itself!
Pros:
— great taste
— simple pit stop
— simple menu
— friendly hospitality
— Pepsi AND coke canned products
— deal on sandwiches! ⁶⁄₈ or 4 for ¹⁸⁄₂₄!
Cons: (reasons for only 4 stars)
— messy
— outdoor seating only
— while supplies last
Loved loved loved that we got to try this place! I definite must!

The best BBQ place around!!! Can’t wait to go back for more! Always friendly with awesome services.

Too pricey for the product. The food is not that great. I don’t mind paying the price for a food truck quality, but this place doesn’t have if.

I loved it! Great smoke flavor, portions were proper and the sides are great.
I am a little perplexed however that people would review this business and deduct stars based on the fact that they aren’t open late enough. It says right on the sign that they are open from 11am till the food runs out! It isn’t as if they have a sign that says 11am to 8pm and close early.
I also have a problem with 1 staring a business because you belched smoke! I’ve been smoking for years and if your meat doesn’t have a deep smoke flavor then you aren’t doing it right. This place smokes things the right way, this is BBQ done the way it’s supposed to be done.
I love the fact that they serve food until they are out of it. That means you are always getting fresh food and that is important! This place is a diamond in the rough and I will surely be back! This is just one of those places that you don’t find very often and when you do you have to take your hat off to them for putting in the time and effort to do it right and make sure it’s fresh!

If you can get there before they run out of food and close up for the evening, then it’s good stuff! I drive by here every day on my way to and from work. I see the smoke starting as early at 7:30am most days, but by 5:30 or 6:00, they’re pretty much out of food and/​or closed. I wish that they were open later, as my husband and I would eat here more often. I had the brisket sandwich the one time we managed to get there in time and it was good. Of course, you have to hit up the Dairy Hut next door when you’re finished eating!

We are always game for trying new restaurants and supporting local business’. We ordered a little bit of everything just to try it and see what they had since they are always closed because they are out of food. I must say the quantity of food was outstanding but belching smoke for 8 hours after I finished my meal really turned me off as well as my significant other. I have my own smoker and do use it on a regular basis and have never once had an overpowering smoke taste. I wish them the best of luck since there are not many choices in the area.

No better way to eat BBQ then on picnic tables outside. Menu is simple. Pulled pork, whole or half rack ribs and brisket. Pop, chips and slaw. This is not ur typical restaurant. No indoor seating and it is a seasonal joint. The owner has lived in pataskala all his life. If you like mama and pops places to eat at this is the place.

I can’t say enough good about the great taste of the barbeque. So moist and tender and the sauce is a perfect combination, not too sweet, not too sour. If you like real barbeque, you need to give Red’s a try.
