Top 5 Barbecue in Ohio

1889 W 25th St, Cleveland, OH 44113, United States

“Cute place. GREAT service. And somehow, even better food. Strawberry watermelon jam with flaky warm biscuits was a perfect summer “jam.” ;) Southern Benedict - ham fresh,, FRIED GREEN TOMATO instead of English Muffin.. (do keep in mind the hot fresh fried green tomato will continue to cook the poached eggs, so eat them quickly if you like runny). And the potatoes! Get the small batch hot sauce. Hush pups and gravy is a great spin on biscuits and gray. COME HERE NOW. Courtney was our server and On Point and fun!”

25 N Sandusky St, Delaware, OH 43015, United States

“My fiancé and I had a nice time here. The beer selection was top notch with options for all craft drinkers. I had the Rutherford B. Hazy beer, and it was very agreeable for a warm summer day. We happened to be here on a Sunday and had the chicken and waffles (we split one serving between two people) and it was excellent. Their fryer had a slight issue, but it was quickly corrected. Their outdoor seating was really quite excellent for enjoying the street views and the vibe was relaxed.”

“Probably the best triple decker club I ever had. The pot salad was great too! I would consider this a local dive bar with food next to the $300 steak places. Def a good place for cheaper drinks and home cooking.”

333 Foundry St, Medina, OH 44256, United States

“Oh-My-Good-Gracious-Lord-Of-Love... this place is amazing! It is pub-restaurant-playground. So much food and games to tantalize young and old alike. Sure, lots of places in Medina County have amazing food and desert, and some have fantastic drinks and cocktails, but this is the only one I know of that pair that with bocci, corn hole, bowling, billiards, stand-up arcade games and HIGH SPEED GO-KARTS! This was so much fun sharing a holiday lunch at the Foundry! We will be back faster than a go-kart lap!”

4400 Heatherdowns Blvd, Toledo, OH 43614, United States

“Shawn's is a spacious cross between Irish pub and sports bar, with cozy atmosphere, plenty of tables and booths, and lots of TVs to offer decent viewing angles from most seats. Service was courteous and quick. The house Irish red ale is excellent, and the food was very good, the only disappointment being that the large menu had surprisingly few Irish dishes given the theme - primarily just shepherd's pie and fish and chips, but also a nice variety of sandwiches, pizza, entrees, and specials like kielbasa and pierogies. All in all a great place to eat, drink, socialize, and watch sports, albeit not as authentic of an Irish pub experience as you might expect from the name. We would definitely return when in the area again.”

1261 W 76th St, Cleveland, OH 44102, United States

“We stumbled upon this place by accident. “Uncle Scott” (the host) was so inviting, personable and upbeat! His smile is contagious! The brunch food is absolutely delicious! We had the Cheddar Chive Biscuits & Gravy and Brunch Burger! The outside atmosphere was excellent! The only reason I gave 3 stars for atmosphere is due to the upstairs bathroom; the only negative was the upstairs bathroom decor. If I would have saw it before we got our food, we likely would have left. I realize it ties to the name of the venue; however, it was vulgar and satanic. I am curious as to the history behind the restaurant name.”

35495 Chester Rd, Avon, OH 44011, United States

“Wow, this is the place. Team members where wonderful, food wow. This is my new guilty pleasure. Love all the flavors of sauce. Great think is they don’t put it on your sandwich, you get to choose your own flavor.”

4105 E National Rd, Springfield, OH 45505, United States

“Went here for the first time on Valentine’s Day and the service was really good! Everything was great the only downfall I had was that the steak needed to be seasoned it was quite plain but steak sauce definitely helped. It was a NY strip and was very tender.”

37 E 4th St, Mansfield, OH 44902, United States

“While on a day trip to Mansfield to see the carousel we were hungry and wanted a bite to eat. We asked the guy running the carousel where was the best place to eat at in town and he recommended this place. We sat at the bar and ended up both getting the pierogi’s and kielbasa. The food was delicious! Definitely a must try for anyone who wants good cooking!!”

405 Water St #1207, Chardon, OH 44024, United States

“Nice place with a cozy atmosphere and great menu. I got the patty melt burger which was good, but I would recommend to the restaurant that they tweak it a little bit. Adding more cheese and a sauce would make it better. Regardless, I still had a nice time there and would come back for sure.”

739 S 3rd St, Columbus, OH 43206, United States

“Been waiting to go here and was not disappointed. Unique menu, top notch service and the atmosphere all lived up to the hype. Do not skip the curry dish or dessert. Absolutely phenomenal. Lovely little lemon scented fingertip towels were a nice touch for our wings too. The service was the icing on the cake - absolutely wonderful addition to an already amazing meal. This place was worth the wait.”

4100 Half-Acre Rd, Batavia, OH 45103, United States

“Great everything but they need to update their hours I hate driving 20 minutes just for them to be closed. They said they close at 7 on Saturdays got there at 6s sharp and everything was locked off”

1106 Race St, Cincinnati, OH 45202, United States

“I don’t know why I haven’t been here before! Great location right up the street from Washington Park with a laid back vibe. You first grab your drinks from the refrigerator (beer, soda, water, etc.). You then order at the counter, where they will give you a table number. Find your own seat, and they bring the food to you. The service was quick and the servers were kind and attentive. Most importantly, the burgers were great! They are “smash” burgers. They had plenty of seasoning and the toppings were fresh. The fries were crispy while being soft and fluffy on the inside and well seasoned like the burgers. Overall, I thought the prices were reasonable. If you’re looking for a quick and inexpensive bite in the OTR area, this is the place for you.”

8190 Mayfield Rd, Chesterland, OH 44026, United States

“We went there on Saturday evening and the parking lot was almost full but we were seated quickly. There were only outdoor patio seating and not inside. We ordered Drinks, Texas Onion Petals, Louisiana Shrimp Linguini with side salad, and Honey Garlic Salmon. A glass of wine was a generous amount, the side salad was big, Shrimp Linguini was good and not as spicy as I thought, but Salmon was a bit too sweet. Overall the food and service were good!”

1115 Vine St, Cincinnati, OH 45202, United States

“Nice beer selection, although it feels like NYC pricing. $0.80/oz is like $13/pint! On the other hand you don’t have to tip on self serve beer, so maybe it’s a bit more reasonable. Frites were ok and for some reason the water machine dispensed warm water.”

1352 W 6th St #152, Cleveland, OH 44113, United States

“If I could give this place more stars I would. The atmosphere was so cool. The employees were outstanding! So kind, so helpful, so welcoming. We honestly have not had this kind of amazing service in a very long time. Oh, I forgot to mention the tacos. All I can say is.. EPIC!”

2114 Grandview Rd, Craig Beach, OH 44429, United States

“Great little hideaway restaurant near the lake. The food was delicious and the staff was amazing. I recommend the philly cheese and the chicken bacon ranch, with either fries or chips. Both were great and I cannot wait to head that way again for more.”

18515 Detroit Ave, Lakewood, OH 44107, United States

“A nice little gem in Lakewood. It’s nice and clean in the inside. It gives me a mom and pop restaurant vibes. Small but cute. The outside where they have the igloos at were beautiful. You have to book 2 months in advance if you want to sit outside and have dinner in the igloos. The food was delicious. I mean I had no complaints at all. The Harvest salad was so good omg. I had the seared salmon with garlic mashed potatoes, and a squash and zucchini mix. When I tell you the prices are reasonable and the service was amazing. I will definitely be coming back here. I gotta put them in my top 5. I would highly recommend this restaurant plus it’s cute if you wanna go out with your friends or a date night with your significant other.”

600 N High St, Columbus, OH 43215, United States

“I had a delicious lunch hanging out at the bar with Jenn taking care of me. Loved the chips and salsa self serve bar, enjoyed a local IPA and house special "mustache" margarita. I asked Jen about the barbacoa burrito, and she strongly recommended it. I added a side of refried beans and had a big delicious challenge to eat it all.”

2058 E 4th St, Cleveland, OH 44115, United States

“It was an excellent first time so definitely deserves many more after. The food were awesome. Tops the list of my favorite oysters in the area. Love their new school oysters. Customer service is top notch. Jessie has been beyond amazing, enhanced our first time experience by providing us with all the information first timers should know, answered all our questions and made great recommendations. Love that the owner himself is very personable and takes the time to stop by tables to say hi and check in on everything. That's not something I see very often anymore. Other than our fave oysters, the slush dessert was unique, refreshing and just like anything we ordered, absolutely delicious. The drink were awesome, the Giant and Starlight make the top of our list. We also loved our cauliflower, smoked fish dip, pork belly ( so loved the pickled veggies with it) and grilled chicken hearts. We got a gift card to gift for the holidays and coming back and bringing friends over. Needless to say, we are now Cordelia's fans 😀”
