This was our second time eating there going into tonight. We ordered the brisket as we did the the first time, as We loved it the first time. However, tonight it was completely different! The amount of peppercorn crust easily out numbered the brisket itself on certain parts of the brisket. I'm ok with spicy foods for the most part, but my boyfriend is NOT! When he asked for rolls to counter the spice, we were charged for it. Whatever, that's fine. We're NOT those people (I'm in the business) . Regardless, if I wanted spicy tonight we would have gotten Mexican. We both are not feeling good after this meal, and I honestly don't want anyone to feel how we feel right now, especially after paying good money hoping for a good meal. Should have went to one of our regular places in Avon or Avon Lake where it was guaranteed good food. So much for supporting Elyria. We're done!!!! read more

Attention Drug Company reps.... this is a very good place to get catering for your doctor's lunch appointments. Good job guys! The staff greeted me when I first walked in and we're very friendly. There were about for people that all stood around and welcoming me and carried on with conversation about the way they prepare their food. I was even joking about their sign twirlers on Highway 95 and said they do a good job but they assured me that they only work for 20 minutes at a time and are required to drink plenty of fluids. It's kind of like a Famous Dave's but here in Bullhead City. However I can honestly say this place has better quality meats than Famous Dave's (no-knock Famous Dave's). As you walk into the place from outside they have smokers that are burning would that really gets you in the mood for barbecue. As someone who really loves to cook I'm a very harsh food critic. I really enjoyed this place. I ordered the brisket the baby back ribs and a half a chicken. The brisket was so tender that it practically fell apart when trying to serve it on the plate. The baby back ribs were very tender and the sauce complimented the ribs perfectly. You couldn't ask for ribs much better than these. I also had the grilled chicken and the flavor was awesome and the meat almost fell off the bone it was so tender as well. I will definitely be back! read more

Great food & great service. Will definitely come again next time we're in town. Had the pulled chicken sandwich and a loaded baked potato - it was amazing! read more

Amazing! Absolutely amazing! Our first takeout, perfect! It was our first time and we had high expectations but Uncle Bo's exceeded them. We moved to Ohio from Texas and I cannot believe how good this place is!!! read more

We ordered the whole smoked chicken wings, back ribs, brisket, fries and corn muffin. The chicken wings were dried out, the back ribs were good, and the brisket was soft but lacked flavor without the sauce, the fries were good, and the corn muffin was good but was served covered in butter. Their barbecue was similar to the highly rated John Mulls Meats & Road Kill Grill in Vegas which I was not a fan. I'm a fan of Rollin Smoke Barbecue in Vegas. I guess you can't expect too much because these foods are not made to order an more than likely are sitting in a oven. Maybe barbecue is better for lunch than dinner. read more

The staff is amazing and the food is awesome... True Texas BBQ in Elyria, OH... And the owners have a heart as big as texas to go with it...

Absolutely loved our meals! Delicious brisket! Loved the sauces! The side dishes were amazing! Collard greens! Jalapeño Mac and cheese! Jambalaya! Baked beans! Cole slaw! Tried all of these and they were all incredible! Corn bread muffin drizzled with butter was over the top! Big doggy bag was needed! The staff was friendly and fun and very helpful offering samples of sides before ordering. Loved the clean, homey atmosphere. We will return! read more

The aroma that greets you in the parking lot lets you know you're in for something delicious, and we were not disappointed. The decor was delightful. Our waitress was indulgent, welcoming and knowledgeable, like a favorite cousin. We sampled several items before ordering and never felt rushed. In the end, everything was delightful. Ribs tender and flavorful, brisket fell to pieces on the way to my mouth, fries could've been the freshly cut and fried ones from the county fair. My husband's catfish was mouth watering, and my daughter's pulled pork scrumptious. What did I order? The salad with smoked chicken on top. Make sure you try the Chipotle dressing. Oh, the baseball sized corn muffins were excellent as well. We got to speak to Uncle Bo himself- personable, knowledgeable and down to earth. I really wish the best for this location. I love supporting local, and places like this make it easy. I also appreciate the complimentary dessert given to my son as it was his birthday. Who am I kidding? We ALL appreciated it. read more

The food was excellent once we got it. Waited a very long time to place order. Also never got asked if I needed a refill even though my empty glass sat on the edge of the table. Barely saw our waitress after we were served. read more

Went a few weeks ago when they first opened. Service was eh. I ordered ribs, too bad, we are out of ribs. Huh, BBQ and no ribs ? Wife ordered something else. Can't remember what it was, but doesn't matter, they didn't have it either. Got talked into the bbq chicken. It was Ok. First impressions are so important for a new business :-( We will try it again in a few weeks and see if they got a handle on things. I see the good reviews, but I'm sure they have more family than the amount of people that reviewed. Being a good cook has nothing to do with running a good business. They will need both to survive. read more

My husband and I came for a late dinner while staying at the Hampton Inn. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I got the smoked chicken, which was juicy and very tasty, plus collards and coleslaw -- everything was excellent. My one objection was the corn bread which came literally drenched in a butter sauce... I wish I had read that prior to ordering (or they really should have mentioned the butter on the menu) as it made it inedible for me; fortunately, the waitress was happy to bring me a plain one. My husband was disappointed that they were out of beef ribs, but really enjoyed the brisket and liked the pork ribs. We both loved the blackberry cobbler --- a very large portion, home-made and topped with lots of berries and ice cream. We will definitely come back if in the area again! read more

Great food. Real smoked meat. No wait. Good price. Nice spot for Elyria since almost everything else is gone.

I'm from Texas, and this was laughable for more that I pay at world famous bbq spots that sell out in mere hours, due to the line before opening. But I'm sure you'll be fine for local bbq. read more

This place was amazing. The service was amazing, food was amazing, and they really went the extra mile to make us feel great! We had our pup with us so opted to sit outside. The owner himself brought us water for our pup and then later brought us hamburger meat for him as well! I had the brisket sandwich and everything was perfect from the bread to the slaw to the brisket to the sauce! I love brisket and I love BBQ sauce and this place does it right. Not to mention the jalapeño mac and cheese was damn good too. Oh and an absolute must are the collard greens daaaamn wanted to drink the liquid! read more

These guys surprise me every time I eat there. They get better each time, the service is always good. The smoked sausage is the best I've ever had. The brisket is always cooked to perfection, and is never dry. Their greens are awesome and don't forget the fresh cut fries. Their ribs are good but, no ones perfect at everything. Their chicken is really good too. Check this place out, they are new to the area but, becoming a local favorite. read more

We really liked it and found our new bbq place. Super clean and new. Lots to choose from and kids were happy.

I came in with a group of ten and the service was excellent. The waitress and owner even took extra time to go over the menu and help with our order. We even returned for lunch the next day! I would love to go back the next time I'm in town. read more

Delicious food! Service was good, however the waitress messed up on a couple of our requests. Would totally go again.

OMG if I could give this place a zero stars, I would. This place is WAY overpriced, $18 for a brisket plate served on disposable service ware, small, small, ( did I mention small?) portions, dry with a choice of either runny and watery bourbon sauce, house sauce or Sweet Baby Rays bbq sauce, self serve on the table. The bacon jalapeno mac and cheese had a decent flavor but the noodles were undercooked and the texture was gelatinous and goopy. My husband had the pulled pork, also very dry. Our waitress was courteous but forgot my husband's bread sends she didn't reappear until it was time to bring the bill. I always, very courteously, tell the waitress if my meal was not good and she did offer to have it remade, but honestly, if it sucked the first time, unless they cut meat from another, fresher brisket, it was going to be more of the same. She offered to ask if we could get discount coupon for another visit but at those prices, I don't see us returning, even if the food had been delicious. read more

This place is really good. We always get the family meals to go and it never disappoints. Prices are very reasonable with large portions. Our favorite is the brisket. The Cole slaw is amazing. The macaroni and cheese is lacking flavor but the Jalapeño Mac n cheese is much better. The rolls are just basic Hawaiian rolls. The baked beans are delicious. I am so glad we have a new place to eat at in the area. The options around here are minimal. read more

Uncle Bo's Slow-n-Low - Bar area is nice - Barbeque Near Me - Elyria, Ohio

Very high quality,well smoked meat with care ! I highly recommend Bo's I was a real unexpected find ! read more

I recently wrote a less than positive review for this establishment, but I now have good reason to amend what I reported. As indicated in my previous post, I returned to speak with Bo about resolving a billing error. I was treated with great respect and sensed a genuine concern from this gentleman to not only resolve the matter but to gain my continued patronage. We covered the initial billing problem from every angle and it appears that a final and positive resolution is just days away. Bo and his wife, Angela, demonstrated a more than generous amount of patience throughout this ordeal. I am also impressed with his generosity, offering me a full refund and more if I so desired.....not typical of most dining establishments in this demographic region. So, if you're looking for good food and outstanding customer service, please give Uncle Bo's a try.....you'll be glad you did! read more

Now this is good eatin' in the neighborhood. We've gone at least 3 or 4 times since November 2019. Wife loves the sweet tea. Staff is great. I've ordered differently each time - entrees one week, apps another. The jalapeno mac and cheese is great and ALMOST as good as Chick fila (hands down my personal favorite) but I always choose it when I need sides. I recommend the salad with pull pork or brisket on top. Everything is served on your own tray. Loaded baked potatoes (are loaded with brisket or pulled pork) and quesadilla are good choices from the app menu. Elyria finally has a great BBQ joint. Only unfortunate point is the location - it's near the dead mall called Midway Mall. read more

Finally able to try this place out.. I was skeptical because I know what good BBQ is and man did they hit the Mark!! Well done uncle bo! Well done. I had the ribs with the original BBQ sauce, super tender fall off the bone good. And those collard greens. Man.. I love me some good collard greens and these outstanding. The burgers were huge and tasted amazing according to my kids and hubby so we were all very pleased with the food and prices. Service was fantastic and enjoyed chatting with our server. 5 stars and will be back for more! read more

Bbq is good Mac and cheese is awesome same with collard greens beers on tap are very good however their mix drinks are limited and taste awful they definitely need more variety! read more

Looking for a stop off route 80, we found a jackpot in Uncle Bo's! Abby is a great server! Food was awesome and for you skeptics all the food is offered with Free samples! Also we came in from New Jersey ! read more

Nice outdoor patio and delicious BBQ! Great comfy food and space for large parties. We will definitely be going back on the regular.

Locally owned and operated this joint is a local favorite. Everything is hoMe made annd fantastic. I suggested trying the brisket!

Such a good restaurant and food. From the hostess, to literally the owner "Bo". They made us feel so welcome! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to out of towners! read more

When a waiter or waitress praises something on the menu as being 'the best they ever had', you're either in for a great meal or a big disappointment.

We are new to the area and spotted this place while driving through Bullhead City. The wonderful aroma from the large smoker out front drew us in as soon as we got out of our car. We arrived at lunch time and were seated right away. My wife and I ordered a pulled pork sandwich and brisket sandwich. Both of them were ordered with the BBQ sauce, coleslaw and fried onions on the sandwich. The sides we ordered were mac and cheese and fries. A dill pickle spear came with the sandwiches as well. The pulled pork sandwich was fantastic as was the mac and cheese. The fries were OK but nothing to rave about. The brisket was lost in the sandwich. I pulled some of the meat out and found it to be moist and having a great smokey flavor. It should be ordered solo instead of on the sandwich wear it's great flavor and texture was lost. The service was fast and very good. The restaurant was clean and the decor was very nice for a BBQ spot. We will return. read more

Excellent, fall-off-the-bone ribs, delicious brisket you can cut with a butter knife, and really good sides. Recommend the bourbon BBQ sauce, if you like sauce; otherwise, the out of the smoker favor is tasty without. Our group of sux enjoyed everything. Not sure, they will give you FREE SAMPLES of anything you want to try. Our first but certainly not our last visit! read more

Uncle Bo's Slow-n-Low - Great dinner at Uncle Bo's tonight! HIGHLY recommend to anyone who ever comes to Bullhead/Laughlin! - Barbeque Near Me - Elyria, Ohio

In my opinion It is truly the best BBQ in the area. It is only there seasonally at this point, but will soon be a permanent part of the area. Had stopped by after several good reviews through friends and social media. Owner is a very engaging gentleman who took the time to come out and greet us, offer samples of any of his food, and explained his operation. After we placed an order, he took time to show us the smokers he uses out back. The brisket was absolutely delicious. Tender, juicy, melt in your mouth with just a bit of Char. Jalapeño Mac and cheese was tasty, without being overly spicy. We are looking forward to going back soon. Seating is limited to some picnic tables and chairs, so until it becomes permanent it is best taken to go. read more

Great BBQ. All the meat was really tender thr sauces were great and the sides were delicious. Highly recommend it.

Excellent food, great customer service and cool atmosphere. Definitely a great addition to the area!

Best BBQ around, the brisket is AMAZING. On a soft but substantial bun, with the homemade BBQ sauce and slaw is just perfect together. Highly recommend the parmesan fries as well as the jalapeño mac and cheese! read more

This restaurant is a great addition to the Midway area. I ordered a few sandwiches and the armadillo eggs to go on the day they opened and it couldn't have been a better experience! The staff was very friendly and even Bo himself was out front helping out and talking to customers. As for the food, it's even better than advertised. You can tell they don't take shortcuts when it comes to preparing every last ingredient. You can't go here and not try the armadillo eggs as they are an unreal flavor bomb. I highly suggest everyone gives this new place a chance as you're sure to be amazed. read more

Their beef brisket is truly Delish! Fast service and very attentive wait staff! Decor is well themed. One flaw, side dishes are pricey at $4.50 each, for a very small portion. Definitely will visit again. read more
