barbecue brisket ribs symon banana pudding casual sandwiches authentic pork cole slaw spacious spicy food good for groups desserts classical music potatoes bar crowded kielbasa pigs
Gregory Wilson

The atmosphere is trendy , food is full of flavor. Felt stuffed but glad I was able to check out Symon 's latest. Got the spare ribs which fell off the bone. BBQ & hot sauce were CLE style.

Kevin Dudley

"This is Cleveland" platter is logical starting point: smoky perfect ribs , melt-in-your-mouth pork belly , and tasty kielbasa on cabbage . Sauce compliments perfectly. Get Cracklins with Lawson's Dip !

Kevin Dudley

The brisket melts in your mouth (get fatty!). Hot greens are the best I've ever had. Broccoli salad is way better than it should be. Smoked beets we're good, but not something I would ever get again.

Irena Hawkins

How does a BBQ place run out of pork ?! Although I'm highly disappointed in not be able to try the pork ribs the lamb ribs and turkey sandwich ate outstanding ????????

Coley Dize

Finest Smoked Beef Brisket I ever put in my mouth. Bark perfect & moist and sides especially the greens, cucumber salad & potatoes a must. banana pudding , key lime deserts & amazing bourbon choice.

Kevin Dudley

The Lamb Ribs were delicious, but not better than the brisket , spare ribs , or pork belly . Cole slaw is outstanding and Broccoli Salad is way better than you expect.

Nancy Erhardt

We went for St. Patrick's Day. The special sandwich was smoked pastrami , pickled cabbage , dill pickles & swiss cheese on the best damn rye I ever tasted. I hope they put it on the daily menu !!

Barry Bloom

It's a high end BBQ place . Not the usual Memphis, Texas, Chicago stuff. Pretty eclectic . Light vinegar based sauce. Liked the Cleveland special. Kielbasa , Pork Ribs drenched in sauerkraut . Different.

Petra Gregorová

Big Pig Sandwich with side of Cucumber Salad was a pure bliss and yet again exceeded my expectations not in just the amount of food but how it was cooked to perfection.

Teresa Long

We tried several meats, several sides and bourbon and we shared with the other people in our group. Everything was fabulous!

Justin Kadis

Point brisket and lamb ribs FTW. Also, don't sleep on the cracklin ' (not pictured), potatoes , and poppy seed coleslaw .

John K

Best brisket I've had north of Austin Texas! Order the "fatty." Ribs are also very worthy. No sauce needed! Bread is awesome too! Parking a hassle but worth it!

Ranu Rajkarnikar

Brisket , pork and slaw here were all fantastic. Especially the slaw . Great beer list and banana pudding too!

Dave Konig

Mabel's BBQ Sauce is a perfect vinegar/mustard blend that adds a bit of a bite to an already flavor filled meal

Michael M

Brisket and pork spare ribs were great. Bourbon cocktails were excellent as well

Dave Konig

Getting the "This Is Cleveland" platter is a great choice to sample all the wares available!

Shawn Cook

The food was delicious! Had the pig sandwich and greens. Cool hip space and cool classic music to boot.

Kevin Simpson

The brisket was wonderful and I loved the Carolina-style barbecue sauce . A little pricey but definitely delicious!

John K

Spicy kielbasa’s awesome good as were the ribs ....coleslaw is best ever and potatoes were tasty too!

Gary Morrill

great ribs , the pig parts are delicious and the service was top notch! Great cocktails too!

Island Bruin

Michael Symon spot for BBQ . Always crowded . Eat at the bar . Pork cabbage is super good.

Thomas Nebesar

Brisket and coleslaw all the way. Sandwiches buns are too large in proportion to the sandwiches .

Dave Konig

The banana pudding is a great choice for dessert !

Wm Behrendt

Food is phenomenal. And wifi password is "symonsays"

Brisket / pulled pork continue to be above avg. Sides leave a lot to be desired (e.g., cream corn has no cream) and lack of baby backs is annoying. Sauces have niche flavors that are serviceable.

Kevin Wilson

No excuses here, no COVID is the reason why we can’t (insert answer here) they are all over it. As well distancing. Food across the Board A+ Homemade Banana Pudding A++

Harlan Hill

The ribs need no sauce. FANTASTIC!

TheGreatone Mills

The polish girl that's really good and was spicy if you like it that way

Came here for lunch. The sweet potato and peanut soup is unlike anything I have ever eaten. It's good, just don't know if it's $10-good. The burger is amazing. It's messy! Fries are great, too. - Kevin Dudley
