Barbeque Restaurants near Willoughby Hills

“For the price its hard to beat. The polish boy was very good, the ribs were a bit overcooked, and wings were decent but for all 3 the sauce was fantastic. All these complaints by people showing up just before closing time should be disregarded. I went during regular business hours and the service was fast and friendly.“

“Visiting Mission BBQ was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Right from the moment I walked in, the warmth and friendliness of the staff were unmistakable. Everyone was keen on welcoming guests into the store, creating an inviting atmosphere that felt more like being greeted by old friends than just entering a restaurant. For someone new to Mission BBQ, their patience and helpful guidance in ordering were incredibly appreciated. They didn't just stop at taking the order; they made sure I knew where everything was, truly going above and beyond in customer service.But let's talk about the food—it was simply amazing. Every bite was a testament to how good barbecue can really taste when it's done right. It's clear that Mission BBQ places a high value not just on the quality of their service but on the quality of their food as well.In a world where genuine hospitality and delicious food are prized, Mission BBQ stands out as a beacon of both. I left feeling thoroughly satisfied and already looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-notch BBQ experience accompanied by unparalleled customer service.“

“Kailey was a breath of fresh air in the after math of 1 of the worst two (2) week periods my significant other have every had. With that, we decided & prayed to have a good evening wherever we go. God led us to Smokey Bones & it’s clear the reason was because we needed her + her energy! She accepted us with open arms, a warm personal, and a sense of connection to us that we never experienced with a server as a couple. All the stresses & worriers of the world went away during our time with Kailey! Thank God for her & the fact that your organization hired her. Please share the we will be forever grateful our time with & the opportunity for our fresh start to be reignited from her being simply awesome. We will be back to visit her & the rest of your wonderful team at the Mentor Smokey Bones!“

“Small restaurant with a limited, but tasty and reasonably priced menu with a spattering of unique offerings. Perfect for a quick bite & some wine. I hear their ribs are great, but we weren't hungry enough for that. AJ was very helpful recommending something light & quick (they were closing in 40 minutes) for dinner. He suggested an Italian wine which my husband said was fantastic. Food was made to order with attentive service. They have a large wine menu and an amazing selection of wines by the bottle in the adjoining room. We will come back on a Saturday for their rib special.“

“We were seated right away which is always a bonus. The service was nice and prompt. She said the mac-n-cheese was good and she was right ✅️ My husband loved the brisket. The cornbread is always amazing. I mean, just go. You'll be good because it's all good.“

“Walking into Mendel’s KC BBQ in Cleveland, it felt like hitting the jackpot for anyone who appreciates solid, delicious comfort food with a bit of a twist. Starting off with the Haitian Bouillon was like getting a warm hug from your grandma — a beef stew so rich and hearty, with potatoes, spinach, and dumplings that made you feel all cozy inside.Then, diving into the appetizers was like going on a mini flavor adventure. The Pico Fries? Unreal. Imagine your favorite fries getting a makeover with pico de gallo, smoked chicken, avocado, a bit of sriracha heat, and that killer garlic aioli. It’s like a party in your mouth where everyone’s invited and having a blast.Those Texas Hot Links were no joke either. Just the right amount of heat, packed into a beef sausage that snaps with each bite. It’s the kind of appetizer that makes you nod to yourself, thinking, "Yep, they got this right."And don’t get me started on the Chicken & Waffles. That combo of cornbread waffle with crispy southern fried chicken, all drizzled with honey chili syrup, was nothing short of genius. Sweet, spicy, crispy, soft — it’s got all the contrasts that make you wonder why you don’t eat like this all the time.Finishing with the Pulled Brisket Flatbread was like the grand finale of this culinary concert. Smoked brisket, tangy pickled onions, fresh arugula, and that garlic aioli tying it all together — it was a masterpiece of flavors and textures.Mendel’s KC BBQ isn’t just a place to eat; it’s a place to experience food that’s comforting, delicious, and straight-up fun.“

“Support small local businesses!!!This place was so great, the food portions you get an extremely generous, my dinner I ordered will without a doubt get brought to work tomorrow for lunch. The quality of their ingredients is top notch, no “funky spots” in the chicken or the pulled pork, tasty potatoes, all topped off with awesome sauces.If you’re looking for a spot to pick up grab dinner, instead of going to your standard nationwide chain for burritos/burgers/sub sandwiches, give this place a try, you’ll be happy you did! We’ll definitely be coming back.“

“The foods always good and service is good. Owner & daughter super friendly. Only reason I gave a 4 is hours are cut back. Rip Tip dinner excellent, Shoulder Dinner even better, Short Rip dinner Top Not h. Coleslaw And Sauce... Damn good. Wings are great with good flavor. Love R Ribs.“

“Food was good. Friendly server.Just visited again on 4/14/24. Overall, pretty good except that I ordered the chili as my side and asked for the onions and chesse to be added (they used to ask about that). Got the chili, no onions, no cheese. Mentioned it to the server and she said she'd be back with them, but never showed. Had the same issue on a previous visit. Otherwise, it was fine.“

“Evvie was super helpful when ordering at City BBQ today!!! So sweet and helpful, what a lovely young woman! The employees at City BBQ only make the dining experience that much more enjoyable! And, of course, the beef brisket is always amazing!!!“

“I have become a fan of goodfellas it’s a nice atmosphere to drink and get bar bites and beyond. Prices are very good and wait staff has always been polite. I did have one issue where I waited about an hour and a half. The owner or manager, a nice looking bald guy overheard me on the phone saying I had been waiting a hour and a half. I was being patient but he did imply I was exaggerating on my wait time even tho I wasn’t not even talking to him as I was on the phone. After he looked into my order come to find out it never went to the Bck to the cook in the system. Things happen so I wasn’t to upset I just wish he would have acknowledged the mistake especially after kind of accusing me of lying about my wait time. I end up switching my order from steak to wings thinking it would could out quicker it took another 45 mins as other patrons started to shuffle in. I didn’t get any kind of apology or comp to meal. I was not looking for anything free but at least a I apologize from the owner would have sufficed. He mad the statement of. I left out at 7 and didn’t see you implying I had not been waiting. When in reality I was. There was a point in time the waitress did say let me check on your food but assume she never did because that mistake would have been discovered sooner if she did. I think she may have been highly but she did apologize at least. But all in all my meal took 2:15 mins to come out got in at :7:30 didn’t get food to 9:45pm. It wasn’t busy cuz it’s was a snow storm. I was looking for acknowledgment and a rush on my order nothing free but I feel as ego played a part in how that went down and it left a bad taste in my mouth. I go about 3 times a week.“

“It's a small spot on 185th it's balck owned and operated. The food is excellent and they bring the food out to your car. Next time I go I will take some pics of the food!! But they close at 9 mon-friday I believe Google is wrong lol but still great food and service“

“I met the owner Ray. He's a great guy. We talked about character, hard work, and business.We got the Crowd Pleaser. It came with a whole slab of ribs, 8 chicken wing, green beans, and fries. About 9 - 12 individual ribs are on the slab.These ribs were sooooooo good though! They were smokey, tender, meaty, with a nice little crunch on the ourside.The fried chicken was super crispy. We had the sauce on the side so we could taste both sauce and no sauce. Both were good.The green beans were good and flavorful. My wife said it reminded her of greens. Finally the fries were crispy and crunchy.I have to say the best barbeque ribs and fried chicken in Cleveland hands down!!!!!!“
