This is a best kept secret for our village! Just quality and reasonable prices! The food is home made and never disappoints.

The reviews were encouraging, but overall it was not the taste for me. Both brisket & pork were overly seasoned. So that was disappointing. Mac cheese super cheesy & the baked beans are a win. But the collards that looked to have so much potential were Just overdone with vinegar. Coleslaw & pickles as well as the sauces were nice. Unfortunately the cornbread was drenched in honey & had no crumble. Great little location, disinterested staff. I'll leave it to the locals & travel north in search of meat that stands on its own! read more

I love the bbq here. This place is such an important addition to the area which otherwise doesn't have anything of the sort. The pork ribs (always available), beef short ribs and pork brisket (when available) are remarkable, so are the collard greens. The corn succotash is delicious and the brisket chili, baked beans and mac and cheese are as well. I don't love the coleslaw but big deal when everything else is so good. The turkey is so well seasoned and juicy; definitely the best turkey I've ever had. The service is excellent and I love that they'll let you sample things before you commit. It's not cheap but the best things in life typically are not and this is some of the best bbq I've had and without a doubt the best this suburban area has to offer. read more

Soul bowl, it does not come this way. It's not on the menu but I order cornbread, brisket chopped, smoked sausage, macaroni & cheese and greens. We call it a Soul food bowl, let me know if you try it this way. The service is always fast, everything is ready on the line and hot. The service is amazing, and the food is very flavorful. If you dine in, they also have dessert. read more

I don't hand out five-star reviews often but this place was so good I couldn't find a reason to deduct a star. For the past couple of years, I've been on the search for the best BBQ in the Cleveland area. See my other reviews for my thoughts on Mabels, Smokin' BBQ, Woodstock, Landmark, and some others. My search might be over. To date, Smokehouse 91 is the absolute best BBQ in Cleveland, but it's not perfect. It's located in a small strip mall on Route 91. The parking lot was full and very difficult to find a spot. In fact, my wife almost got hit by an Amazon driver pulling in and another driver backing out--so be careful! Outside of that...Smokehouse 91 knocks it out of the park. The service is great and set-up the way a BBQ joint should be. Pick your meats...add your sides...hit the sauce station...and then eat. As always, I try to sample as many meats as I can during my BBQ visits, and today my party had a turkey sandwich, baby back ribs, smoked turkey, sliced brisket (fatty), a smoked poblano pepper sausage, and the star of the show--a beef short rib. Our sides included macaroni and cheese and the collard greens. You also get a small sampling of cole slaw pickles, and white bread with your meats. I'll start with the sides, because as I've said in my other BBQ reviews, if the restaurant puts the time in to make quality sides, then their meat is usually fantastic. My daughter and I both gave the mac-and-cheese five stars out of five. "It was so creamy, powerful, and it had the right texture," according to my daughter. I'm a huge fan of collard greens but every BBQ restaurant in Cleveland has let me down. Smokehouse 91 came up with an excellent collard green, filled with meat and just the right spicing. Five stars. The cole slaw gets four stars. It hits the right texture--I like mine a bit runny--but was a bit off on the flavor. Now for the meats: Brisket This is hands down the best brisket in the Cleveland area. It could use a bit more pepper--again, I inject my personal preferences--but it had a great looking bark and held up to the bend test. I read one review that stated the brisket didn't have a smoke ring. My brisket certainly did...not that it matters outside of appearance. The brisket was the first thing I saw when I walked in the door, and I immediately could tell this place was going to be legit. Five stars. Turkey The turkey had a great flavor profile along with being very moist. "It's the best I've had" said my wife. "It was really juicy and had a nice flavor." Five stars. Poblano Pepper Sausage Where is the eye-popping emoji when you need it? The sausage was pulled out of a vat of juice. My first thought was the sausage would be waterlogged...and it was, to a point. Much to my surprise, it worked well. Every bite included a splash of that poblano pepper juice and it was fantastic. Five stars. Baby Back Ribs I saved the ribs for last because it was the only part of the meal that isn't getting five stars. The ribs had a softer texture than I like and the flavor was off a bit (I didn't add any extra sauce). I'd have liked to see a bit more bark as well as a stickier texture, but that doesn't mean we didn't like the ribs. I'd certainly order them again (and spoiler, I will!). Three stars. Overall, our visit to Smokehouse 91 went very well--and there's a bonus butcher shop next door. There are only about four square tables and three high tops inside, so seating is very limited. I think that's going to become a problem as word spreads about this place. We already know the parking lot is an issue, but don't let that deter you from giving this spot a try. I think you'll become a regular. read more

Excellent dinner this evening. People were very friendly, patient as we browsed the menu board, and answered questions. Format is order at the counter with a few tables and some high counter space. Very clean. The brisket sandwich with slaw and pickles was amazing. Great flavor and very fresh. Pulled pork was good as well. Both were overstuffed. Any meat that fell out of the sandwich allowed me to use sampling the BBQ sauce bar which had many great options. The Mac and cheese was very good . Cornbread had great flavor and tasted fresh. Overall a great meal and worth a stop if you enjoy barbecue. read more

When you first walk it the smells make you hungry. They cut the meat fresh in front of you. I love that they break up the brisket nicely. Assorted sauces available. Service was simple and fairly fast for what they are doing. Definitely worth the try! read more

My boss and I had a sandwich at smokehouse 91 and I have to tell you it's a perfect 10! I had the brisket he had the pulled pork, perfect sandwich perfect bun, ton of barbecue sauce you can try. Do yourself a favor go grab a sandwich and then take one for home and maybe another for your wife. Bonus They sell their meat by the half pound and it's a good deal. You can look like a hero at the next cookout. read more

Just had a fantastic late lunch at Smokehouse 91, and let me tell you, those five-star reviews are spot on! Having spent 15 years living and working in Texas, I make it a point to return often, and their ribs and pulled pork are straight out of a BBQ lover's dream--just like you'd find on the BBQ Trail in Northwest Austin! I tried the Babyback ribs and I can't recommend them enough. My friend had a massive pulled pork sandwich with pickles and coleslaw that was simply delicious. I also ordered their greens, which were fantastic, plus their cornbread was a real treat. Everything was top-notch! I'll definitely be heading back and even picked up some of their rub to celebrate BBQ season! The atmosphere is casual, the place is clean, and the service was excellent! read more

You can tell it's going to be good BBQ when right when you open the door it smells awesome and service was very nice and very cool that they slice the meat right in front of you when you order. The lean brisket was amazing, super lean, tender, great smoke ring, and awesome flavor. The coleslaw was very good, and nice that they give pickles and two pieces of white bread on the side. The BBQ sauce bar that you can take cups of is very nice and the Texas style and Sweet BBQ sauces were my favorite and the Carolina style vinegar was awesome too. Didn't get any desserts but they looked amazing. Definitely will be back. read more

This was worth the five and a half hour drive from Indy. It started with outstanding customer service and ended with the best bbq I've ever had in my life! The ribs were competition worthy.

I'm in town from Texas and I took a chance to see how Cleveland BBQ stacks up. Well Cleveland, I picked the right place. Brisket was on point. Sausage was outstanding. Only things that lost them a star were 1) How can you serve Collard Greens and not have hot sauce? 2) The Cole slaw wasn't good. Had a weird after taste. 3) Their "Texas Style" BBQ sauce wasn't not Texas style. read more

Well smoked brisket and ribs. Sides too salty. Get the fatty brisket as lean was too dry.

I ordered a smoked turkey sandwich to go. The meat was cut fresh but for $15 there was no more than three flimsy ounces. Slaw and pickles were on the sandwich. The sandwich was ok, but nothing special. The sandwiches next door at Heinens are better and bigger for $7.99. read more

I could smell the awesomeness coming from this place from the Heinens parking lot and just had to come try some meat. The staff was super friendly, the shop was clean as can be, and my god the food. I had the 18hr brisket and it melted in my mouth. I can't wait to go back and try more things! read more

Great BBQ. The line can be a little slow. The meats are very nice. I've tried about everything here. I'm not a big fan of the bbq sauce but the meats are top tier. read more

Every thing is okay . Curious what they are using to cook the BBQ with. Taste like Electric Smokers not a wood burning pit... Not a lot of smoke Flavor. I had the Beef Ribs here and was not very good. Kinda the same thing they seemed like they were steamed. Not a good rib and could not eat. I sold all my smokers. Time to reinvest read more

Alright Y'all, being from Texas, we take Barbeque seriously. Smokehouse 91 is legit, and lit. Highly recommend going for Lunch or Dinner, as the Staff and Atmosphere are on point, as is the food. The Brisket is too good to pass up, as are the rest of the meat fare. Go when you can, Y'all definitely will not regret it. If anything, Y'all will keep going back. read more

I've been to many BBQ places and this one is my favorite. The brisket, and pulled pork are delicious. The sandwich, I had to cut in half because it was loaded with pork that filled me up quick. They have a to-go sauce bar, and I had to try them all. So delicious. highly recommend this place, it's definitely a hidden gem read more

Delicious! And we're comparing it to a recent trip to San Antonio Texas. Very impressed.

Overpriced and the workers are rude. Will not be coming back and believe it or not. There are better places to get barbecue then there.

I thought the men behind the counter could use some customer service tips. They were rude. I wasn't told that brisket comes with bread, pickles and cole slaw. I thought the brisket was just OK at $40 a pound. The lid came off the cole slaw and the cashier did not put my brisket in the bag either so I had to come back in and they were not very friendly about it as they put my order in someonelse's bag. I called there and left a message to have someone call me re: my experience and they never called. I guess they don't care. read more
