We are stuffed and still have half the tray left. Everything was AMAZING, THE cheese sauce on the fries was to die for, so good we bought a pint to go. 😂 The sweet BBQ sauce was excellent, both the ribs and wings passed the test. Our server Serenity was also excellent. We live 2 blocks away and for some reason we have never tried Briquettes until now. Rest assured, we will be back!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Stumbled across Briquettes as we were passing through Ashtabula. It is set in an old brick building with a view of the Harbour and lift bridge. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Instantly greeted by one of the waitresses who was friendly and accommodating. The bar and additional seating is located on the 2nd floor. As soon as you enter, the aroma is amazing. My husband & I shared the rib taster and the 3 meat combo which included pulled pork, chicken thigh and brisket. It came with 2 sides and jalapeno cornbread. We did get an additional side for a $4 upchange. Everything was delicious and we were stuffed. Prices are reasonable. Portions are generous (don't let the platter picture fool you, we split the food and started eating when I remembered to take the pic). If we lived closer, this would be an establishment we would visit often.

Officially my new favorite bbq spot! All the food was absolutely phenomenal. I got the 3 meat combo with 2 different sauces. Flavor flavor flavor!! My husband said the warm apples were to die for! He got the double dog meal. The aroma alone was fantastic! But my drink was almost the star of the meal…the harbor island tea! The style of this place is eclectic and charming. Modern yet homey. The staff was helpful and our waitress was very pleasant. We will unmistakably be back!!
