“Another L.C. hidden gem folks! I'd have never noticed this spot if it weren't for visiting a neighboring business. I ORDERED BBQ BRISKET& CHICKEN BURRITO (cooked perfectly-real meat)W/MANY TOPPINGS. ABSOLUTELY DELISH! 2nd order was a Mac&Cheese bowl with BBQ pulled pork & toppings- AGAIN A HIT!!? THEIR PICKLED ONIONS- SOOOO GOOD! Service was VERY patient as we had never been there. Ohh ya DONT SKIP THE CORNBREAD moist and flavorful! Dining area was clean, but empty on a Saturday afternoon. Didn't use the lav. We will definitely be making the drive again as this was absolutely worth it. Both servings lasted for lunch the following day!Wheelchair accessibility: Open parking and zero step up. Total flat surface easy to navigate with walker, cane or scooter.“

“The food is the best. Everyone is friendly. Only reason I have four stars instead of five is bc every single time I order to go they forget my bacon bits and cheese for my potato. Not just once or twice. Every single time. But besides that, two things up“

“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!“

“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.“

“Absolutely the best dining experience we've had in awhile Chrissy and I....The Chicken Parmesan was so delicious... Our waiter Tim was amazing rarely find a waiter like him Thank you Tim?...This was the Mentor location... We can't wait to go back again to try the steaks.“

“Rated 4 stars because we had called for a large party reservation and then were told in arrival they did not take reservations which was delivered with attitude and rudeness from the gentleman at the host stand. Never had this problem before but he was sooo rude. If you have a large party go somewhere else.“

“The smoked BBQ was good but they were stingy on the BBQ sauce amd didn't offer anything else for sauces. The Brisket was a bit dry and the meals were set on a peice of toast you couldn't cut with a fork but the service and atmosphere was great. But thats was my opinion“

“We had a girls night out at Cuoco Bello. We shared several appetizers: calamari, mussels, sausage stuffed peppers. Everything was delicious and hot. Then we had a variety of entrees. I had skillet chicken parm. Very nice. Then we shared a dessert of chocolate cake to celebrate a friends birthday. The staff was great especially our server.“

“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.“

“Hollands Bar-B-Q provided ribs for our annual cookout, they were delicious and tender the sauce was perfect and everyone left satisfied and full. Holland's Bar-B-Q has great soul food, owned and operated by those with Spirit to positively help improve all communities.“

“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.“

“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!!!!!!“
