Company 7 BBQ

Fantastic meat, but there's more to good bbq than just the meat.
I had burnt ends, pulled pork, Mac and cheese, Coleslaw, and cornbread. The meat was fantastic. Second best I've ever had, and that's saying a lot. The pulled pork, without sauce, was flavorful. Burnt ends were tender, with just the right amount of sweet.
Unfortunately the sides left me longing. The Mac and cheese was missing something. Can't quite put my finger on it.
Coleslaw was kind of bland.
I hardly ate the cornbread.
At the recommendation of the bartender, I got the house-brewed Hefeweizen. That was great.
Bbq sauces were solidly okay, but nothing to rave about. If you like hot, ask for the sauce they keep behind the counter. That was great.

The bar is filled with fireman memorabilia, and has an entire firetruck inside. Loved that.

Service and food are always consistent. The staff is great and the decor is nice. Probably the only place I'd recommend and vouch for in Englewood.

Really enjoy dining at Company 7, food is always great. Atmosphere is nice and service is good

Food and price was amazing, service was pretty slow but friendly. A little over priced and small kids menu.

It was our first time coming here. The burnt ends (6/10) were very rich and saucy. The consistency of each piece varied, as well. Some pieces were tough and dry and others were perfectly tender and moist. The green beans (7/10) were kind of bland. The mashed potatoes (9/10) were great, but could have used a tad more gravy! The cornbread (10/10) was the best I've ever had and our whole family enjoyed that the most! Our five year old had a side of Mac n cheese (8/10) that was pretty good but a little on the drier side. Overall, I'd return back here again and give other meats on the menu a chance. I thought the interior was neat and they even have a drive thru!

The best BBQ in the north Dayton area. The wings are outstanding and I love the variety of sauces.

Had lunch at Company 7 BBQ in Englewood. I got the Smokehouse Salad with chicken. The salad was really good, but I would have preferred more actual salad to chicken. The chicken was really juicy, which is great if you plan to eat the entire salad in one sitting. The salad is pretty large, so I took most of it to go, and it didn't last long, even just until later that evening, due to the juices wilting everything as it sat in the fridge. I'm not sure how they fix their salads to go, but if ordering carryout, or even taking leftovers home, I would definitely ask for the meat to be boxed separately from the veggies.

The person I was with, had the chicken tenders and said that they were dry and overcooked, but they still managed to clear their plate. There was also a brisket meal ordered to go, but I didn't hear how that went over.

Vegetarian options are extremely limited. The one meal specifically marked as a vegetarian entree on the menu, is just a choice of five side items.

Our service was great. There were just two bartenders on duty, with one of them taking all of the dining room tables as well. He stayed on top of our refills and any additional sides or extras that we asked for. I did enjoy my salad, but just thought that I would make note of a couple of things for carryout orders and dietary restrictions. Definitely not a place for everyone, but enjoyable for those with open diets.

I live in D.C. now but always come home to Compay 7. They have great BBQ and great Smoked wings!

I have run in to a string of "meh" food lately and Company 7 BBQ contributed to that feeling. I am on the road for work again and after a long day I did not feeling like going out. I put in a delivery order and waited. I am a good BBQ junkie with an emphasis on the good part. BBQ, both the good and the bad, is expensive and I don't want to feel like I have wasted my money. I feel like I wasted money tonight.

Burnt ends are not the most common of BBQ selections on a menu. They come from the brisket and there are, or should be, a limited amount available. When they are on a menu, they sell out fast! Burnt ends are like eating meat butter. Soft, chewy, fatty, and oh so smokey. Company 7 BBQ has burnt ends on their menu so I jumped on it and put my order in. The burnt ends meal comes with two sides and I chose coleslaw and green beans. While I was going through the selection of sides, I noticed a distinct lack of what I would call traditional BBQ sides. Missing from Company 7's line up were potato salad, pinto beans, and mac-n-cheese. I have also seen many places offer okra as a side. I was a bit confused over the missing sides and scratched my head to see a plethora of side salads. Anyway, my order was placed. Delivery was quick and I headed up to my room to dig in.

I opened my to-go container and immediately questioned my decision. Sitting in the to-go container was a ball of foil that housed the tiniest chunks of meat I have seen that were called burnt ends. Along with the burnt ends were the smallest containers of sides I have ever seen. I looked up the container codes and they hold 4oz of product. Now you are correct if you thought 4oz is about half a cup. It is but only when you are looking at fluids. a 4oz container filled with a solid is not half a cup, it is a lot less. To give you a visual, each of my sides were about the same size in quantity as a golf ball. Not much. To round out the to-go container, there was a good sized piece of corn bread, and a 2oz container of their basic BBQ sauce. If you remember, I said earlier that burnt ends should be soft, chewy, fatty and oh so smokey? The burnt ends I was looking at were hard, tough, overcooked, I'll give them smokey. If your fork cannot pierce a burnt end and almost breaks it, you don't have a burnt end. You have a lump. There was the occasional soft spot of meat that gave the impression of what i ordered. I know this seems hard and harsh but good food isn't hard and with BBQ fetching top dollar, I expect more. The coleslaw was also disappointing. It was just shredded cabbage that may or may not have been dressed with a sauce. The best part6 of the entire meal were the green beans and the cornbread. The green beans tasted like they had been slow cooked for hours; just like my dream southern grandmother used to make. The cornbread was moist and tasty. I did appreciate the trick of putting the butter under the hot cornbread so that it was soft and spreadable once it got to me. A nice touch.

Good food isn't hard. It takes time, patience, and dedication. I am sure Company 7 BBQ didn't start out this way because of the comments I received in the hotel lobby from the aroma wafting from the bag and the affirmations they loved Company 7 and I was in for a good time. The burnt ends were not the right choice for tonight. Maybe I will try the pork or brisket next time? Hopefully Company 7 BBQ can redeem themselves.

Baby Back Ribs. Yes!!!!!

Beef Brisket Sandwich.

Chicken Tenders. Yeah, that too!

Ask of this backed by great service. Most go.
