They are pretty classic KC bbq, fwiw. Strong hickory, descent char. Only real deviation from traditional KC style is that the main sauce is not really as sweet or smokey as what I expect from that region.
I have never been that high on Eli's, in truth, but Cincy really doesn't have a wealth of good bbq so it punches above its weight.
