Scatter’s Barbecue was a popular restaurant owned and operated by Herman “Scatter” Stephens, a larger-than-life figure in Cleveland’s vibrant barbecue scene at the time. Located at 931 East 105th Street in Glenville, Scatter’s Barbecue offered some of the best barbecue in the Midwest. Scatter Stephens befriended some of the most influential African Americans at the time, including boxer Sugar Ray Robinson and jazz pianist Count Basie. Fans and patrons of Scatter’s enjoyed the ribs and shoulders pit-cooked over hickory wood for a savory, smoky taste.
