Why take a trip to Cleveland? Because I've never been! As a bourbon enthusiast, I was surprised to see such a great selection of bottles in all the bars and restaurants around the city. Mabel's whiskey selection is not just impressive for the city, but perhaps in all of Ohio.I wish I wasn't visiting during dry January, I would have spent much more time there exploring their menu of bottles.Luckily the food is also good. It's an a-la-carte menu so I ordered a plate featuring a half pound of brisket (FYI a half pound is the minimum order quantity, more than enough for a single person.)The brisket was a fatty cut and besides the moisture, it also had the smoke on the nose and palate that is almost reminiscent of Texas but enough to make it stand out from other joints I've tried across the country.The menu leans towards European style so the plates came with sour kraut, pickles, and rye bread. My side of brussels was also topped with a rustic mustard complete with seeds.Good food, and great drink selection, all in a modern, clean, open space. Next time I'm in town I'm returning, and hopefully it won't be during dry January.

Late review: Atmosphere: The place seemed really nice. The outside was decorated so creatively and the vibe was just so cool. We were very excited to try this place. So much so we drove over an hour to visit. When we got there, we couldn't find a host(ess) or anyone so we just sat on the patio as there were other customers sitting down and we figured we could snag someone's attention then. When we did, we went inside to be seated but as we walked in, it was absolutely FREEZING in there. We opted to sit outside which was still cold but not as cold as it was inside. Our waiter I have to say was probably one of the rudest guys that had ever served me. When I asked him how spicy the spicy sausage was, he looked at me like I was completely stupid. I believe later in the meal I wanted to buy a bottle of the BBQ sauce and asked how much they were or if they had any bundle deals with all of them. I would have just bought the ones I liked individually but I don't believe I ever got that answer... Food: I ended up just ordering the meats we wanted to try, got my partner the yelp recommended loaded potatoes, greens and a whiskey flight. I loved the food. The ribs were great, the brisket had a really nice flavor. The greens were not my favorite and my partner didn't care for the loaded potatoes (but I think they were just too heavy for her). The star for me was the spicy sausage and I forget which sauce it was but I know I fell in love with one of the sauces with that sausage. Really great BBQ. Overall: I can't tell you how great the food was. It was just unfortunate that the waiter was so rude and that it was so cold. The cold I could deal with. But nothing ruins a meal of great food like a waiter treating you like you are just utterly a burden. Makes you not want to ask questions and it just makes things really awkward. It was a shame. But like I said, great food.

I'd say this is a good place to have a Smokey lunch. The atmosphere is super industrial and rustic, very warming. The service was great. Our server recommended serving our food family style and not being from the area, I didn't quite understand what she meant, and she explained it to us nicely. We ordered 1/2 of pulled pork, 1/2 of pork belly, fried potatoes (without scallions and vinegar for the kids) along with baked beans and loaded fried potatoes. Now about the food! The pork was great! The pork belly was phenomenal!!! The fried potatoes were good.The baked beans....do not recommend. Tasted more like undercooked pinto beans. The loaded fried potatoes would be good with like a shredded cheddar, not a white cheddar cheese sauce, it gave it a very uneven texture and flavor was not a good combination. I'd definitely return for the pork belly, atmosphere and I would love to try the turkey and brisket. I'm sure it's amazing!!

Great and quick service, good locally made food, and lovely atmosphere!I've been 2x during these past few weeks and both time, there was not a wait.The food came out really fast, which is perfect if you are catching dinner before a game or show downtown. Highly recommend the brisket! Also, those pickles and kraut that comes with the meats slaps!

I love Mabel's and I want to eat their BBQ every single day. I believe their changed their BBQ sauce and it was awesome! EVEN BETTER!! We waited for 30mins but it's worth it! Ours pork ribs was a liiiiiiiiiittle too dry, which it fell from the bone easier, but I still love it no matter what!Please come open one in Columbus!

The atmosphere gives off comfort. The waitress was really informative and helpful. She let me preview an item before I purchased it. I ordered the Loaded Fried Potatoes and hot tea as a beverage. It's listed under sides but I'm telling you it's a whole meal. All the flavors just complement each other well. To go I ordered banana pudding. Really tasty. Really enjoyed the no banana chunks. Definitely a place I'll visit again

This was on my list of places to eat at while in Cleveland for the first time. This is in downtown and not many places we're opened that had great reviews around lunch time on a weekday. After reading the reviews, we decided what to order. For food and drinks, we got the brown hoist cider adjournment which is made in Cleveland, OH. I wanted to try something from the town and I wasnt disappointed. The lemonade was so refreshing. We ordered the lean brisket which was quite dry. I'm wondering how the fatty one is on the menu. The polish girl was really good. The pork crackling was like pork rinds. The seasonal pasta salad was tasty too. The loaded potatoes was just average so we couldn't finish it all.

Came into town for the Rock & Roll hall of fame ceremony and hit downtown looking for the best BBQ in town. Thanks to the local Yelpers we came here and it did not disappointGreat location to the entertainment and Casino. Wife was lucky there and I got lucky here. Great trade off. The ribs and BBQ sauce were a great match. When in Cleveland I will come back again.

My friends and I were craving for some bbq meat and this was conveniently nearby our hotel. The meat offerings were pretty typical of what you'd expect, like brisket, pork belly, etc. There are also standard sandwiches, like the pulled pork sandwich. I ended up with the pork belly like so many other reviewers and it didn't disappoint. The best was tender and flavorful. My friends had the brisket and pulled pork sandwich, which were good. The thing that fell short was the chili, which was bad enough they didn't bother to finish it. Also, the whisky prices were outrageous. You'd be paying a high secondary for the pours. Overall, it was an okay experience. The pork belly was the winner but not much to say about anything else. Service was reasonably attentive and atmosphere was decent for group gatherings.

Overall, a fun dining experience! We walked in at 5 PM on a Saturday and were able to be seated, no problem, at shared long tables. The meats are juicy and tender with unique Eastern Europe inspired seasoning, and mustard-based BBQ sauces, so not your usual BBQ joint. Side broccoli salad was tasty! Fun atmosphere.
