Here is a pictorial for the curious.
Montgomery Inn is not BBQ in the sense that the meat is smoked. It is meat covered in BBQ sauce.
Montgomery Inn Boathouse {not the original location in Montgomery, OH} is located on the Ohio River. Great Views.
The inside of the restaurant is full of sports memorabilia.
It's cozy, when it's not packed {which it usually is}~
They give you a great bread basket, including some great salted rye~
On to the food. This is a combo plate of ribs, a pork chop, baked potato & onion straws~
Beef Brisket {smothered in MI BBQ sauce}, mac & cheese, & cornbread.
A wider view {with broccoli}~
The sides are great. The pork chop was pretty darn good. The BBQ sauce on the ribs & brisket cover up the lack of flavor {because it's boiled meat}.
But if you come to Cincinnati, you must come to the MI Boathouse for the views~
~ {and some guy cleaning the riverside} ~
And, Montgomery Inn also serves steak and seafood for those who do not wish to partake in boiled meat covered in an interesting BBQ sauce {secret ingredient ~ anchovies!!}. They also serve Saratoga chips with a side of the interesting BBQ sauce {sorry, no pics}.
It's not all bad. Just not smoked BBQ. Uniquely Cincinnati.
