7 Miles Smokehouse - Chillicothe

On a prior visit to Chillicothe my wife and I got to enjoy Old Canal Smoke House and I came away thinking it was the best BBQ I 'd had east of the Mississippi. But I saw how highly rated was 7 Mile 's and I now have co champs. This restaurant is unassuming but very comfortable. The service was first rate. The menu is extensive, with all the usual barbecue options plus burgers, intriguing sandwiches, and a range of appetizers and sides. I had the beef brisket sandwich my go to to assess the quality of the pitmaster. It was a bun containing generous thick slices of great smoky beef. They provided their own sauce and I added a bit to a bite and decided this brisket didn 't need any. My side again testing them was onion rings, which I suspect were hand cut and made entirely from scratch. Rice onion flavor, uneven sizes and thickness, clearly deep fried to near perfection since the onion did not slikde out of the breading. Their manu offers two varieties of stackers borls containing several items all together. My wife got the Barbecue Sundae Stacker, with pulled pork and sauce, topped with baked beans and slaw. Sounded sterange to me, but she enjoyed it thoroughly. Our companion got a short rack of pork ribs, cole slaw, and their sweet potato casserole emphasis on sweet . They do not serve alcohol here, but their iced tea is a cut above not only fresh brewed, but carefully timed with a good quality teabag. I am now eager to return and try their Barbecubano sandwich, and maybe their signature Mad Dog sandwich (if my wife agrees to eat half of it! . Seems to me that I 'll be back at Old Canal if I 'm craving excellent craft beer with my 'cue and 7 Miles if I want a broader menu. Either way, superb work at the smoker!

The place was nice, quiet, and very clean. Our waitress welcomed us even though we showed up 1/2 hour before closing. Kid-friendliness: Family and kid friendly Wheelchair accessibility: Very much so

Super casual, but the food is beyond amazing. The sweet potato casserole was to die for, and the ribs fell right off the bone. Service was fast and friendly, and our waitress anticipated our needs. Will definitely be stopping by again despite being from out of state!

Wow!!! Service was amazing. I wish I would 've gotten our servers name. She was great! Food was really really good. My buddy said this is the best steak I 've had in a long time .
