Chef Michael Symon’s Mabel’s BBQ is a Cleveland-style barbecue restaurant located in the heart of downtown Cleveland.
By incorporating Bertman’s ballpark mustard into the barbecue sauce, using Eastern European spices and smoking meat over local fruitwood, Symon has created a barbecue style Clevelanders can call their own. The space’s arched ceilings, industrial lighting and exposed brick are reminiscent of Cleveland landmark West Side Market, evoking the feeling of a rustic smokehouse with a laid back vibe.
Friends can kick back at a communal picnic tables and feast on brisket, kielbasa and Cleveland kraut and pickles, pork ribs and loads of pig parts with eastern European inspired seasonal sides.
