    Polish boy
    LJ W.

    Amazing food, looooooong wait times. I had heard about this place from numerous Clevelanders. This is a go-to chicken spot for many of the locals. This place isn't in the nicest area, but like many good eateries, that is a sign that the food will be good. I walked in and saw a lobby full of partrons who looked hot and tired of waiting. I didn't mind this because I knew I wanted to try them. When I placed my order, the cashier told me it would be about 15 minutes. Around 40 minutes later, my number was called. I overheard some other patrons stating that the cashier tells everyone the same wait time. I ordered 10 wings and fries with sauce on everything and a Polish Boy. My biggest mistake was waiting until I got back to my hotel to dig in. Our hotel was about 30 minutes away, so that caused the heat from the hot food to make my wings and fries a bit soggy. But, I could tell that if I had eaten them sooner, they would've been even better. Don't get me wrong, the food was still good, but I should've tried it in the parking lot. The sauce is amazing, and it can be purchased in a bottle. It reminds you of the sauce that they used to carry at Hot Sauce WIlliams. The fries were decent, and the sauce drizzled on them, making them better. The Polish Boy was huge, sloppy, and full of flavor. That is exactly how a Polish Boy should be made and consumed. Pro Tips When you order, make sure you are not in a rush. Eat your food shortly after getting it to avoid it getting soggy. Purchase a bottle of sauce to go. WIngs 1-5=4. Fries 1-5=2. Polish Boy 1-5=4. Sauce 1-5=5!

    They have there groove back food has been excellent!Been there at least 10 times lately food has been great. They fell off for a little while after Covid but they got it back . Everything is well priced ,there not gouging on the price side despite food costs . Inside very clean!

    Came here for lunch to try their Polish Boys. Nobody was up front to take our order. No biggie just waited a few minutes until an older lady came up to take our order. The Polish Boy itself was rather smaller in size. A huge plus was that it came very saucy. The bbq sauce covered the small amount of fries they put on they were frozen fries so they also lacked that flavor. Also, I could barely taste any cole slaw and the kielbasa looked old. The price for these polish boys was actually very inexpensive, but I'd rather pay a dollar more per Polish Boy to get a much bigger and better product. I can't speak for any of their other dishes they offer, because all I care for to try in Cleveland are polish boys, but there are better polish boys elsewhere and don't believe I will be returning.

    This employee verbally assaulted one of my teachers when we realized that we were short 2 orders of the 7 orders that we called in. My staff recommended this restaurant to me and 7 staff members called in the orders in advance. There is no excuse for start to use profanity. It is not professional. The customer service sucks!! It overshadows the delicious rib dinner we had.

We went on a Saturday at 1:00pm. Great time for conversation with our group of 10 and not too loud so you could hear everyone. Nick and Ivey took care of us and they were tremendous owner/host/servers, very, very nice staff in general and so welcoming. Our family seeks out BBQ restaurants in the CLE and we try new ones about every other month, so with 10 people I had a big group to gather opinions from. Consensus was that the meat was a 3. Ribs were tough, brisket over cooked, loved the rub on the brisket and the sauce was amazing. Sides were a 5. Great mac and cheese (I combined them with the baked beans and that was amazeballs!!). Maybe we were there on a bad meat day? I don't know, I would absolutely go back because the ambiance is very friendly and the food does hit the spot.

We ordered beers and as luck would have it, I was able to order their last available rack of ribs for the evening (my go-to barbecue item)! We also got some beef brisket and a few sides to share. Overall the meats were tasty, but there were a few issues with the meal. The ribs had a nice dry rub seasoning on them and were quite tender. The brisket also had a good bark, but was a tad dry. In terms of available sauces, the Kansas City sauce was thick and tangy, but the Proof sauce was not good at all...I just could not put my finger on what about it I didn't like n its flavor profile. The coleslaw was shredded with vinegar and quite dry, the mac-n-cheese was only semi-gooey and the fries (although tasty) were limp from being undercooked. Bottom line was thumbs up on the meats and thumbs sideways (or down) on the sides. Wil most certainly give them another try as I am a BBQ junky, hoping the outcomes are slightly better.

As of 430 they were turning people away due to being out of literally everything except some chicken. I understand not wanting to waste food but... if you're out of food by 30min past your opening time then you're doing something seriously wrong. My order is still not out. This is barbecue. It has been 1 hour and I am only one of three parties at tables. The waitress is incredibly nice but can't make up for ungodly slow service. When my food finally came out over an hour later, they literally brought 2 items out of maybe 10 I ordered. Everything else they were out of an hour after I ordered, 5 minutes after opening. HOW does this happen??? I didn't have to pay for my single ribeye and Mac and cheese which is the only somewhat not negative factor but I didn't get anything else I ordered either. Pretty beyond disappointed. I was incredibly calm and polite, even asking how I can prevent this in the future. Zero suggestions from waitress or manager who aggressively grabbed the receipt off the table and went elsewhere in tears. I gather somehow this was a really bad day for them? But I have no idea how I don't get screwed in the future either when I rsvp'd. Maybe I'll have to try to go by phone next time and ask if they're sure they have everything. The Mac n cheese thank god was tasty. Garlicky flavor throughout. The ribeye was big and heavy but god it was tough.
