Mabel's BBQ

Cleveland
BBQ Joint
$$$$

James Beard Award-winning chef Michael Symon is inventing his own style of barbecue at this Gateway District restaurant. The so-called Cleveland style incorporates Eastern European spices and mixes Ohio’s own Bertman’s Ballpark Mustard into the barbecue sauce. At Mabel’s, Symon is serving up brisket, pork belly, turkey, kielbasa, and ribs -- in sandwiches or with a side of sauerkraut and pickles. The drinks menu is heavy on whiskey and beer, the latter of which includes Midwestern craft brews and special Belgian sours. As for seating, the industrial space is filled with communal tables.
