25 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Shaker Heights

“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.“

“Burnt ends were very popular and delicious. Baked beans got a good review, too. Best Kosher restaurant in Cleveland area.Vegetarian options: Mushroom truffle flat bread, portobello burger and some sides. Fries use canola oil, BBQ sauce is veg.“

“A little small on the inside but the food that comes out of this kitchen is to die for!I've tried jerk chicken a few times and never really cared for it so I was quite surprised at how deliciously spicy it is!I would not change a thing about this place and will definitely be coming back as often as I can!“

“Korean food here is really delicious and it's the best Korean BBQ!!!!!!You must come and try it.All the servers are also very kind, and the quality of the meat is just outstanding, with all the food exceeding expectations!Once you come here, you'll have to become a regular customer!!“

“Wonderful food as always. I can here for either the third or fourth time with my husband and my mother and grandmother. The food is always amazing. This is easily the best hot pot place in all of the Cleveland area, at least out of all the ones I have gone to. The only thing is that the service wasn’t that great today. We had to ask for utensils, plates, bowls, etc. Our server would disappear for 20-30 minutes at a time even though we were the only people there. At one point we had to go up to the front to ask the sushi chef for things because our server was nowhere to be found. The amazing quality of the food more than made up for the subpar service though. We will definitely be back.“

“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 food was DELICIOUS! We ordered the salt and pepper squid, potsticker, spicy wontons, beef chow fun and fries pork chops today for dine in! Omg this food is authentic Cantonese, and I would know be cause I'm half Chinese and spent most of my childhood in San Francisco Chinatown with my grandmother. I took my husband and nephew and we loved every single bite! HUGE portions for your money and I took half my meal home!! Don't think about it, just go!!“

“One of our new favorite KBBQ spots. Was hard to find at first, as it is inside this plaza with no markings on the outside. Inside there is an Asian market on the first floor and then you go up the stairs to the restaurant.Got both entrees and the BBQ and loved both!“

“Wonderfully surprised everything was delicious. The variety of sauces available to add to ur meal and the smoked chicken breast I had a hard time stopping myself from eating it all when I am not usually a chicken breadt fan. It was so moist and smoky. Will definitely add this to one of my favorite places to eat. Happy birthday Frank“

“I have never physically been to Mr. Jamaican Kitchen because I always order from Ubereats and my food is ALWAYS delicious. I order the Jerk Salmon and looking to try other items on the menu.I am going to visit one day and let them know how much me and my husband love the food???“

“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.“

“Amazing food, looooooong wait times. I had heard about this place from numerous Clevelanders. This is a go-to chicken spot for many of the locals. This place isn't in the nicest area, but like many good eateries, that is a sign that the food will be good. I walked in and saw a lobby full of partrons who looked hot and tired of waiting. I didn't mind this because I knew I wanted to try them. When I placed my order, the cashier told me it would be about 15 minutes. Around 40 minutes later, my number was called. I overheard some other patrons stating that the cashier tells everyone the same wait time. I ordered 10 wings and fries with sauce on everything and a Polish Boy.My biggest mistake was waiting until I got back to my hotel to dig in. Our hotel was about 30 minutes away, so that caused the heat from the hot food to make my wings and fries a bit soggy. But, I could tell that if I had eaten them sooner, they would've been even better. Don't get me wrong, the food was still good, but I should've tried it in the parking lot. The sauce is amazing, and it can be purchased in a bottle. It reminds you of the sauce that they used to carry at Hot Sauce WIlliams. The fries were decent, and the sauce drizzled on them, making them better. The Polish Boy was huge, sloppy, and full of flavor. That is exactly how a Polish Boy should be made and consumed. Pro Tips When you order, make sure you are not in a rush. Eat your food shortly after getting it to avoid it getting soggy. Purchase a bottle of sauce to go.WIngs 1-5=4.Fries 1-5=2.Polish Boy 1-5=4.Sauce 1-5=5!“

“I've been going to this place since I was in junior high (70's) ?.I sure miss the spot on Hayden. It's those hole in the wall / mom & pop spots that often have the best food with generous portions. 105th keep that original sauce, wings , fries, ribs, and polish boys going!Parking: When the food is that good, you'll park down the street & walk for it.“

“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!!!!!!“

“Raeanna is the best bartender this place has! She his exceptional at customer service, extremely prompt, and you can tell she cares about customers. I've been visiting here for work, and very thankful everything she's working! Great job Raeanna! See you and Longhorn in a couple of weeks when I'm back again!!“

“First of all, Team N was an AMAZING server! He was so kind and talked to us about our trip, the fact we were expecting our first child, and the fun things to do in Cleveland during the summer. We absolutely loved him and hope to see him whenever we visit Cleveland again!To top things off, the food here was amazing. We loved the bulgogi and the Strawberry lemonade was to die for. They had a banchan bar and a small sauce bar which were both great as well. Definitely don’t listen to some of the reviews and give Fiyah a try yourself!! ❤️ One of the best Korean bbq experiences we’ve had in a bit!“
