Eli's BBQ open in Findlay Market

Eli's BBQ is the only place open at Findlay Market during the day on Monday. They've opened their storefront at the market quietly, in the middle of a cold snap. But customers who've been anxiously looking forward to this second location of the popular barbecue joint will no doubt soon find them, on Monday or any other day of the week. They're also open well past Findlay's closing hours, until 9 p.m. Absolutely no waiting in line today.

Eli's has long operated a cart at Findlay, but this is an actual inside restaurant, on the south side and Elm Street side of the Market. Inside, it's exposed brick and wooden floors. There are two picnic tables and a counter to stand at running along one side.

The menu is the same simple list as Eli's on Eastern Ave. You can get a sandwich or a combo with two sides; $5 or $8. They do carryout and catering, and they soon will have bike delivery in "the basin," i.e. any place you can bike to from Findlay without going up a hill.

If you go on Monday evenings, Market Wines is open from 4-7:30 p.m., so you can get beer or wineto go with your smoked turkey sandwich or pulled pork dinner.

Open 11 a.m.-9 p.m. daily, 513-533-1957
