Harmon’s BBQ | The Best Barbecue in Northern Kentucky

Plenty of places serve barbecue. Few smoke it the way it’s done at Harmon's: simple seasoning, real wood, and patience. That’s what father-and-son pitmasters John and Robert Harmon brought to Northern Kentucky
Harmon’s BBQ is in Fort Wright, Kentucky, just minutes from Covington, Crestview Hills, and downtown Cincinnati. We smoke USDA Prime brisket for 14 hours or more over real wood, make every side from scratch, and serve it with one house-made sauce, because good meat doesn’t need to hide.
Chopped or Sliced: our signature, by the sandwich or by the pound
Brisket, pulled pork, sausage, and two ribs, piled onto one sandwich
Loaded with pulled pork or chopped brisket, cheese, butter, sour cream, and bacon
USDA Prime beef, smoked 14+ hours until the bark is peppery and the inside is tender and juicy.
No gimmicky rubs. One recipe, one homemade sauce, and wood-fired flavor you can taste.
Our potato salad, slaw, cornbread, green beans, and 5-cheese mac & cheese are guest favorites, not afterthoughts.
Thousands of Cincinnati-area diners have rated us among their favorite barbecue spots.
