    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.

    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.

    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.

    Greens with pulled pork

    I got some lean brisket, smoke turkey and greens with pulled pork. Food was good as always no complaints from me. They are very nice and clean. Change gloves a lot . Was very helpful and patient it was an older lady in front of me and she was on the phone and they worked with her to find something she would like like.

    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!

    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.

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

    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.

    Ran across the Momma Wade's Smokehouse food cart outside of McArthur's Brew House at the corner of…read moreBailey Rd. & Rte. 59 in the Falls. Perfect timing as I was thinking about dinner and had BBQ on my mind. The owner went over the menu with me and let me sample all the sauces. I decided on a brisket sandwich ($7) and a side of mac-n-cheese ($4). He loaded up the brisket and let me sauce it myself. I went with the "Mike's Butt Sauce", a vinegar/pepper sauce that was both tangy and spicy. He also loaded up a generous helping of the mac-n-cheese. The brisket was tender and delicious, especially with the sauce which was excellent. The mac-n-cheese also tasted very good. I really like that they use full sized penne pasta instead of the standard elbow macaroni. The owner told me that he and his partner both have full time jobs so this is mostly a weekend gig for them at this point. They plan to be in this same spot 6x during the month of October and can be found every Sunday at Madcap Brewing in Kent. They have a website but their FB page seems to be the place to find out where they are going to be and when. They are worth seeking out, this is some good BBQ!

    I've been to some of the venues but was fortunate to sample most if not all of Momma Wade's Smoke…read moreHouse meats, sauces, and sides (the Mac-n-Cheese is the bomb), as well as the cookies. Mike (the Owner) says the cookies are an old family recipe which is an oatmeal crisp and delightful. It's not often I find a meal from a cart that can transform basic components into a memorable culinary experience but I suggest that you try it, sample the ribs or brisket, and form your own opinion...it's all good and you can't go wrong. It's reasonably priced, the portions are generous and the food fresh and tasty. I enjoy the ribs, the pink tint to the meat with some nice bark and a tender interior is delicious.
