Have you been to Mt. Pleasant BBQ? Good stuff, served in quantity. They serve a delicious, and especially messy version of the Cleveland Polish Boy that adds a layer of pulled pork to the fries and slaw already covering a deep fried kielbasa. Be sure to ask for the"Deluxe" to add the pork.
Very good fried fish too.
Good selection of sides including Mac & Cheese, Collards, BBQ Beans, and fresh cut Fries.
No place to sit, strictly carry out, but I always drive, so I've got a folding table and chairs in my trunk. There's a spot off to the side where you can set up.
I assume you're already familiar with the usual suspects; Balaton, Flat Iron Cafe, Bearden's, Slyman's, etc.
Sadly two of my favorite restaurants in the world are no more; Sokolowski's University Inn and Babushka's. Retirement did them both in, although the pandemic hastened Sololowski's departure. Sigh.
Send me a PM with your email address and I'll send you a full itinerary from a Cleveland/Akron Crawl we did a couple of years ago.
