I've come here a lot over the past month. I love BBQ and probably will approve of lesser BBQ than none at all. Since my first review, which was quite glowing, I've been able to get a better sense of the quality. I'm modifying my evaluation. While I think the meats (ribs, brisket, pulled pork) are all generally well prepared and great, some of the sides leave a lot to be desired, and frankly, have compromised what otherwise would have been a great meal. Let's talk specifics. The French fries are horrible. The first time I had them they were too greasy. The last time they were stone cold. I realize they don't want to waste food, but putting old cold fries on an otherwise good dish only ruins the dish. Perhaps they should cook the fries to order and only drop what you need at any given time. I realize that's a little harder, but the place has never been overrun with customers. I was likewise disappointed in the cole slaw. Really bland. And the owner is from Carolina, so why not some vinegar slaw? Overall, other than the Brunswick stew, most of the sides are pretty average unless you get them close to when they're first made. I really want this place to make it. I think the BBQ is good. I hope they can work on the sides. Update: I received a response from the owner, I was impressed by his candor. I really believe he wants to make his restaurant a great spot. He needs to make money and customers need to get value. Based on his response I think he will make it happen. I will continue to support this restaurant. I want WP restaurants to make it. It really is a good spot and I encourage folks to support it. The food is really good. My issues can be easily corrected. read more

Absolutely one of the best burgers I have ever had and I'm 59 so I've had quite a few! Great taste, juicy and just perfect start to finish. Vandalia onions really gave a sweet taste to the burger. Def will be back. read more

Finally a place in west park to get great food. I am a big fan of the casual seat yourself and i don't mind ordering at the register. The pulled pork fries blew my mind amazing combo of flavors and texture. The food prices are fair for the quality of food you receive. The premium sodas are great to go along with some tasty food. I am super excited to try out ribs and brisket. Thanks for bringing some flavor to west park. read more

My husband and I went to Hatfields today for lunch. I am not one to get hot under the collar but my goodness, it was a mess of an experience! It started out promising; after an understandable 15 minute wait we were seated by a lovely and kind hostess who ended up being more attentive than the actual waitress. We sat for 10 minutes before being greeted by our waitress, in fact, the hostess came over with waters and an apology. When our waitress graced us with her presence, she did not say hello; simply 'what do you want?'. After finding that they were out of staples like coffee and mimosas (grocery store is quite literally down the block).. we placed our drink and food orders and she stomped away. After asking 3 times within an 30 minute period, we finally received our bloody marys, courtesy of the hostess. In that 30 minute window, we had a lot of time to take in the scenery; tables hadn't been cleaned/bussed, there was gobs of food and garbage all over the floor, etc. 15 minutes later, we received an ice cold blue ridge wrap and a sloppy mess of breakfast. The waitress didn't check on us or ask how anything turned out. We spent an hour waiting for a meal that was incredibly disappointing upon arrival and experienced service that made us question why we even bothered to leave the house. read more

What a great find! HGG is an amazing gourmet dining experience! The southern cooking/food is delectable, and the very casual self-serve atmosphere very welcoming and efficient. You place your order at the front main dining room counter, pay, and a few minutes later they ring a bell and call your name so you can pick up your food at the kitchen counter a few feet away. Everyone in our party of 5 was beyond happy with their dinner. I had the catfish taco wrap, and brown sugar bacon mac and cheese, and both were 'to die for'! We're talking gobs of layered flavor, with perfect balance and taste. As if that weren't enough, their awesome bread pudding dessert is like none you've ever had before! I think they must infuse it with cinnamon (what kind, I don't know) and perhaps vanilla and caramel, and only God knows what else. I also hear that they serve breakfast as well, and of course we'll be back for that. Mega kudos to Mr. Hatfield (who, by the way, is a direct descendent of the famous 'Hatfields and McCoys') and his staff for making this outing an experience we'll always remember, with many happy returns! I am certain that Hatfield's Goode Grub will become one of the Cleveland area's most talked about and unique restaurants for a long time! read more

The pulled pork wasn't pulled it was chopped and looked as if it was run through a food processor. Also, none of the meat was fresh as we watched the cooks pull bags of meat from small freezer behind the bar, this explains why the pork was cold. I expect things to be fresh from the smoker and not frozen and then microwaved. Ordered a burger cooked medium with cheddar. The burger was charred beyond belief and the cheese was a very small amount of shredded cheddar. Will not be back. read more

Love this place! Been here for breakfast and lunch. Pulled pork is amazing! Hatfield hash & the coffee are fantastic too. Everyone is very friendly and the decor is fun. Portion sizes are huge so be prepared to be stuffed and still need a box. read more

Ken Hatfield has shown us what a marriage between comfort BBQ and fine cuisine looks like!! The mystery specials on Thursday are so creative and masterly prepared that I would consider ordering without even hearing about it. The restaurant itself has a comfortable rustic feel that gives a modern chuck wagon dining experience. The service was excellent greeted and ordered almost immediately. The side dishes!!! Oh the side dishes.... you cannot go wrong with any of them. The chili has a thicker cut of meat with the right cut of acidity. The mac and cheese has a sweet taste with a bacon finish. That's just to name a few!!! Highly recommend to any BBQ enthusiast, or anyone who just enjoys damn good food. Cannot say enough about how awesome this place is. Keep up the great work!!! read more

This place is soooo good!!! I went here this Saturday with a group of friends for the first time. We all shared food and everything we had was delicious! The sampler came with different sauces. I would buy a bottle of any of them! The brisket was my favorite. Service was great!!! Food came out fast! I highly recommend coming here! read more

I got he blue ridge chicken wrap and it was amazing! My husband loves the pulled pork with lots of their delicious BBQ sauce!

Hatfields is one of my favorite places to stop. The staff is friendly and laid back. I've had multiple items on the menu in my numerous visits and have never been let down. Their sauce is unrivaled. Stop if for lunch, dinner, brunch, just make sure you stop! Great addition to the West Park neighborhood. read more

One of the coolest looking restaurants I've been in. Very unique atmosphere. I felt like I was part of the family. The girl taking the orders started playing with my 4 year old, super nice! The food was outstanding. I got a pulled pork sandwich and my wife got the hillbilly philly. Super delicious! The brown sugar bacon Mac n cheese was great too, my wife didn't like it as much because she said Mac n cheese shouldn't be sweet, but she doesn't know good Mac n cheese... I can't wait to go back. read more

Overpriced, overcooked, mediocre food served on a porous paper plate and plastic utensils. Dried out ribs and unidentifiable thing listed as lasagna. A very disappointing dining experience. Edit: Thinking about it 3 hours after entering initial review, just had to add that this was one of the worst meals ever. read more

We were walking to the Mexican restaurant and decided to stop here instead and we're so glad that we did. Not only is the decor great, the food is amazing and fresh, even an hour before closing. I will be returning quite often. read more

Really cool little storefront BBQ/southern. This guy is a direct descendent of the Hatfield's and all his recipes are handed down through the family. Fall off the bone ribs and true southern collard greens. Excellent corn muffins too. BBQ pork quesadilla had good flavor. No liquor license but Friday night special events allow you to BYOB. Quick take out or casual order at counter and pickup in the back when the cook hollers your name. read more

Fantastic customer service that can only be out done by the exceptional food!! Chef Ken is a gentleman and a scholar who knows BBQ and comfort food!! I will be back! read more

Incredible atmosphere with incredible people. Oh and the food is amazing! As a relocated Yankee born here and brought up in NC on piggie, I can tell you this is a spectacular tribute to southern BBQ with a Cleveland flare. The Philly? Slap your momma good! read more

Hatfield's Goode Grub catered our wedding and we could not rave more about the experience! First and foremost, the food is delicious and unique. I wanted our wedding food to be somewhat casual but not a simple BBQ style either, something in between, and Hatfield's went above and beyond. I'm a wedding photographer and having attended countless weddings I can honestly say that my wedding food was the best I have ever had and we are still getting compliments from our guests. Every communication with Hatfield's was top notch. From the very beginning at our initial tasting at their awesome location in Cleveland, we felt welcomed like family and knew we were in good hands. They had so many wonderful options it was hard to narrow down what we wanted but the chef and his wife worked with us to create a custom menu that was perfect for our needs and offered so much guidance. Nothing about the food was boring or traditional - every dish had a special flare to it that set it apart (Brown Sugar Bacon Mac & Cheese, Jalapeno Cornbread, Apple Dijon Salad, etc.). They were open to feedback and changes and made sure that we were happy every step of the way. On the day of the wedding food was prepared on time, served hot and fresh, guests made their way through the buffet super quickly and there was plenty of food for seconds and more! The chef even brought my husband and I heaping dinner plates to our head table to serve us and make sure we loved everything. There isn't a single thing I would change about our wedding day and most of all I am thankful for the incredible vendors, including Hatfield's, that helped make our day one to remember for a lifetime. You cannot go wrong with them and I would recommend them to anyone who wants a wonderful experience and incredibly tasty unique food that guests will remember. Worth every penny and more! read more

This is amazing! In town on business and my coworkers brought me to try Hatfield's. OMG! Seriously best pulled pork ever. Flavor was outstanding, and combined with coleslaw and pickle on a lightly toasted bun it was ridiculously good. Mac and cheese was also good, but be ready for a sweet after taste from the brown sugar - first bite and you'll know its not like anything else you've had. I cant wait to return, and would love if the food truck made long distance trips into Michigan of course! read more

THE place to curl up on a rainy day in the Kamm's Corner neighborhood. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Southern hospitality. Southern comfort food with a twist. Very yummy! Go! Did I mention dessert and fresh brewed coffee? And Sweet Tea. Bread pudding is my favorite. They also have a store at Euclid and East 9th. Thank you! read more

A real treat! Friendly owner-operators, clean and well run truck and as hoped, the food was great! We split the cheesesteak w bacon Mac and the portabella w fries. The Mac disappeared fast and the cheesesteak was banging. I didn't end up getting a bite of the mushroom ;) the fries were perfect. read more

Wow! Me and the man stopped here for breakfat after arriving at he Cleveland airport. The grub is very good!!! The man had the hillbilly breakfast- which I tasted- I've never had pulled pork and eggs together but boy was it yummy!! The sausage gravy is one of the best that I've tasted! I would not be surprised to see this place on DDD with Guy! read more

The food is always amazing. Everything is fresh and plentiful. Not to mention delicious. The sloppy joes are to die for. I had the nachos the other night and only manners prevented me from licking the plate clean. (Yes, they were that good!) A favorite neighborhood place to eat. And Ken is a wonderful host! read more

Everything I've had so far has been excellent. Loaded fries and biscuits and gravy are highlights. Best place in west park for breakfast.

My boyfriend has been eyeing this place for weeks so we finally decided to try it out. This place is definitely not your normal restaurant but I absolutely love the originality. You go up order and pay and wait for your names to be called and grab your food from the chef in the back. Everyone seemed very friendly and one of the cooks came out to make sure we enjoyed the food. I got the Mac-n-Cheese Burger and it was amazing. The brown sugar in the mac-n-cheese, the bits of bacon, the barbecue sauce and ranch all paired with the burger, it was phenomenal. My boyfriend got the Hillbilly Breakfast and he absolutely loved it, I of course had to try his potatoes with the gravy topping. I can honestly say that is the best sausage gravy that I've had at a restaurant. Portions were very generous, I ate half my berg and too the other half to go. I have to also say the decorations were all very interesting, my favorite was Kyrie being eaten, definitely gave me my laugh for the day. We will definitely be coming back. read more

This is the best breakfast in town! After having dinner here a few weeks back (if you can, try the ribs--they are incredible), we stopped in for breakfast. The Hillbilly Benedict was the best breakfast I've had in years... Corn frittata, homemade pulled pork, fried egg, and a smoky hollandaise made for a meal that was crazy flavorful, fresh, and made to order. The bottomless coffee was excellent (and only $2 and change), and the cozy atmosphere complemented the impeccable service and food. My husband's meal, the Hillbilly Breakfast, was just as satisfying and featured the chef's famous sausage gravy (which definitely lives up to the acclaim). Hatfield's is friendly, tasty, and reasonably priced. We can't wait for our next visit! read more

My friend & I recently stopped in for lunch. We quickly learned that you order your drinks & food up front at the bar area, find a seat & then wait for the kitchen staff in back to call out your name when your food is ready. While we waited we checked out the décor of the restaurant which is like hillbilly chic. It was a very relaxed atmosphere & comfortable. In no time at all, our order was ready. My friend had a bowl of soup and cornbread. She commented that the soup reminder her of something her mother use to make. I believe it was the featured soup of the day, beef, bacon & mushroom. She absolutely loved it making sure she got every last drop by using her cornbread to mop up what was left in the bowl. Speaking of the cornbread....amazing. It was served warm. It was buttery, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside with a good crumble. I had a lunch special of ribs, coleslaw and a side. I picked the brown sugar mac-n-cheese. De-Lish! The meat fell off the rib bones, the mac-n-cheese was the best I ever had and the coleslaw had the perfect balance of sweetness and tang. Since it was our first visit, the owner treated us to a slice of the bread pudding. Yummy, rich & decadent! As well as we both enjoyed our meals, I feel one of the best parts of this establishment are the people who work there. Everyone was super nice & caring. Ken, the owner, stopped at every table to make sure each guest was pleased. I will be back again & again to work my way through their menu. read more

Went here on a whim and was blown away with how good the food is! Got the All In burger and it was incredible

My girlfriend and I were in the mood for some BBQ and were hoping to find something different. I had remembered a good review for Hatfield's on my NextDoor neighborhood website so we decided to give it's take-out a try. We were not disappointed! This is good food. I had the pulled pork dinner and added a side of the brown sugar bacon mac n cheese. YUM! The pulled pork was perfect and tender and happily not over sauced like some BBQ places. The corn fritter was perfect with it! I loved the potato salad and while my girlfriend loved the coleslaw, I prefer mine spicier....but it was still good. The sweet twist on the mac n cheese was wonderful. My girlfriend had the brisket dinner and enjoyed it as well. Keeping in mind that this was a take-out order, I can imagine that this food fresh out of the kitchen to your table would be even better. The breakfast sounds incredible! The place itself looked really cool, albeit lonely for a Saturday night. So, so glad to have a good Southern-style place nearby....a new go-to! read more

This place was cute and eclectic. I got the pulled pork Sammie and my boyfriend got the quesadilla. My sandwich was tasty and his quesadilla was ok. It was well made but I think he preferred my Sammie. The girl up at the front was so sweet and really helpful. She walked around and checked on everybody. She even remembered our name when we were leaving. The fries were bomb and the mac and cheese was good too. It was sweet but good. Oh and the BBQ sauce on the table was tasty as well. Well com back for sure read more

Food was great and the service was better. Would highly recommend HATFIELDS to everyone.

Update, I added a star to this review as a result of a prompt response I received from the owner/head chef. It showed true professionalism and I respected that. It was definitely worth an extra star. I want to chalk up my experience, as described in the review, as a rare occasion. I was tempted to update the review to 4 stars, but I would have to return in the future to confirm it was just a rare occasion. If it is, this review will be deleted and and hopefully replaced with a 5 star review. To be continued..... Original: So, I've been here twice; the restaurant on Lorain Ave, that is. The first time was enjoyable. The lady who greeted us, and took our order was very pleasant and accommodating. HOWEVER, on the second visit (8/6/2017), our experience was substandard. We were greeted by a friendly gentleman, but then the lady who took our order started off by saying, "So you know, we close at 3". Correction, she first asked if this was "take out", then promptly told us they close at 3 after we said we were planning on eaten there. It was 2:17! I assumed 3 lunches for 3 people can be prepared, served, and consumed in 43minutes. Especially because there was only 2 other guys there who already had their food, and the cooks were literally just sitting around in the kitchen (by the way, the cooks were friendly too) . And the same lady who took our order, which I guess was our server/waitress (but did neither), never checked on us other than when she walked over to turn off the "open" sign. So it was clear she was in a hurry to get out of there, and it made it uncomfortable for us. It made us feel rushed, when we should be able to sit, relax and enjoy our meal. Very rude. Now to speak about the food: I had the catfish taco and fries the first time, the taco was good, the fries were way over salted/ seasoned. On the second visit, my buddies wife tried the catfish taco, but couldn't finish it because it was too greasy. It literally left a puddle of oil on the plate. I ordered the "Fued N" burger; the burger was good, but again the fries were heavily seasoned. My buddy ordered the cornbeef, and I don't recall his comments about that, we actually spent too much time reacting to the response we got from the lady who took our order. It is what it is, I guess. I'll never go back. Way too many options out there. read more

I read Marks comment and would like to say that the food is well worth the price. They give you a lot. As far as service goes, they're very accommodating! Super friendly and are always concerned with your experience and go out of their way to make sure you're satisfied! I even saw the owner get on his hands and knees to pick up fries a child threw on the floor. Great place, great food, and a great time! read more

Best food I've ever eaten!!!!! Chef and workers were extremely nice and more than willing to cater to special orders, a MUST try!!!!

If you haven't tried this place, you're missing out on a great place to enjoy the BEST 1/2lb. burgers, down home cooking, BBQ, breakfast, lunch and dinner north of the Mason Dixon line! The ambiance and culinary POV is southern comfort on steroids. Self seating, tons of interesting photos, trinkets and memorabilia takes you to the 1800's when times were slower and people were friendlier. They make an effort to get to know you by name. The restaurant is open, but divided into friendly nooks and crannies including couches, tables, church pews complete with a simulated "front porch" setting to sit back with friends and family and sip your coffee or other favorite beverages. Non pretentious and welcoming owners Jessica and Ken Hatfield (Ken is an actual direct descendant of The legendary Hatfield's & McCoys), will wow you with their friendly and gracious customer service and passion to please. Stop in and give it a try! You will not regret it. Oh, and make sure to top off your meal with their amazing homemade bacon, gooey, chocolate chip cookie! Mmmm! read more
