“We had a really good lunch here the other day. The Romano shrimp, calamari, Vietnamese salad, and cream of asparagus soup were all well prepared and very tasty. The dining room was very comfortable and our server did a nice job with pacing. We did not feel like we were being rushed and were able to enjoy our lunch. The food was just as good here as it was when it was at Great Northern Mall and the menu had some nice new additions.“

“The food and service are great, the prices aren’t bad either!“

“We had Old Carolina cater our wedding this last Saturday (2.24.24) at Lake Affect Studios in Cleveland, OH and we cannot thank the staff enough. We opted for a buffet option which worked out so well. We are still getting compliments on how delicious the food was. When we were thinking about food for our wedding, I knew I wanted a barbecue buffet! Once we saw they were on the preferred list of vendors for Lake Affect Studios it was a no brainer and we went with them as our first choice. We used to love eating at Old Carolina when they had a restaurant in Mentor, OH. Kelsey was so helpful in answering all of my questions leading up to wedding day, and assisting with the set up the day before. They did an amazing job keeping everyone fed and the staff was friendly and efficient. They let us take home left over food and we were able to enjoy the barbecue even after our big day. Thank you so much for helping make our wedding the perfect day! - Rachel & Pete“

“City BBQ is always our favorite spot to go!! We highly recommend it if you’re in the area. Tonight was amazing!! I noticed a gentleman helping guests table side and even holding the door before we entered. We were warmly greeted and sat outside while we were waiting for our food. We didn’t even have to go back inside to get our food, they happily brought it out to us!! Such amazing service. J.D. was so pleasant and helpful. He made sure we had everything we needed, and if we needed something he kindly grabbed it for us. What another AMAZING experience at the City BBQ in Avon. Be sure to check it out and say hi to J. D. He rocks and so does the other staff!! The food is phenomenal and the service is OUTSTANDING!!!“

“Saw you on New Day CLE and thought it was nice place to try. Easy to find. Had the full rack ribs and they were plump and tender. Price was reasonable for amount I purchased. Sides were great as well. Service was nice and enjoyable. However, the ribs were a bit salty for our taste. Hope will not be the case on next visit.“

“On 7/20/26 my wife and I had our private wedding family dinner at longhorn. The staff was out of this world. Service was perfect, food was outstanding. From the GM to managers, servers, and the hostess, they made our day extra special. The dessert was the bonus. Thanks again to everyone at longhorn Strongsville, OH. God bless everyone of you guys!“

“I love Famous Dave’s when I come to Ohio I always try and stop in I love everything about it, great food yummy…“

“The Bisket and ribs are phenomenal! The Texas sausage is one of the best I've had“

“Warm, Friendly local establishment with fantastic staff and service!“

“I joined the waiting list. I did it before I left the house. Took my son and we had to wait but it was within the time the app said to expect. El was terrific. food was fantastic. Had a Jamaican cowboy drink and it was great. I hope they keep up the great work♡“

“Had a great overall experience at Butch’s. I went there with my parents who are around 90 and they were so sweet when we arrived. 2 groups offered to jump off their tables when they saw us come in and they quickly cleaned the table before we sat down. The high top seating was sturdy and comfortable for everyone. It made it so easy for my parents who hadn’t been out to eat since my dad broke his hip in November. The Friday fish fry was delicious, affordable and satisfying. The entire staff made it such a fun experience , including Butch coming over and cracking up over my dad’s jokes. I enticed my mom to play the bowling game which she had never played and she scores 54 - 135 - 177. I may have created a monster because now she wants to join the league.“

“if you don't go you won't know how great it is“

“Texas who? Their bread rolls are nice, warm, and wheat-y, with some nosh and actual real butter instead of a pastry with whipped cream. Steaks are exceptional and great side options. Service is always great and it's nice not to have to shout over the din to hear your date!“

“My new favorite restraunt. Whoever manages this place knows how to manage a restraunt. Our server was awesome, he did an excellent job. Checked on us the whole time. Its hard to get good service now a days. The food is amazing. We had the bison burger, shrimp and grits and fish and chips. Best Burger ive ever had, and I don't say that lightly, it was so good. Will definitely be returning.“
