Columbus residents have a lot of options for barbecue, and over the last couple of weeks the Ledger-Enquirer has asked readers to help decide which one is the best.

The Emerald’s Touch (36% of the vote), Hog Rock BBQ (50% of the vote) and Mike & Ed’s BBQ (58% of the vote) won the first three rounds of voting to move on to this final round of voting to pick the best of the best.

This poll is not a scientific, and there is no reward other than the bragging rights of winning an online poll. But who doesn’t like arguing about who has the best barbecue in the South?

Restaurants featured in the polls were nominated by readers in the weeks prior to the first round of voting. Here are the restaurants featured in the Final Round:

You can vote as many times as you would like between now and when the poll closes next Wednesday April 12 at noon.
