"Celebrity chef Michael Symon’s hit barbecue restaurant has smoky, tender meats and unconventional takes on the barbecue canon. Prepare for shells and cheese made with subtle mascarpone; brisket and pork fried rice with spicy kimchi, sesame, aioli, and fresh scallions; and pork shank with horseradish gremolata. The restaurant is also a great location to watch sports and offers weekly specials." - Janna Karel

Reservations for both dine-in or take-out options are available on OpenTable." - Emmy Kasten
"Michael Symon’s barbecue restaurant, Mabel’s Barbecue, which opened in 2018 will return with the opening." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
"Cleveland-based chef Michael Symon originally opened Mabel’s BBQ in December of 2018, following quickly with a speakeasy style restaurant called Sara’s in early 2019. But since the Palms closed in March 2020, there’s been little word on what restaurant concepts would return as the casino reopens under new ownership. We’ve finally gotten news, though, that Mabel’s will reopen. The menu will be much the same, with brisket, smoked pork belly, burgers, and plenty of sides. The space, which was designed to look like the West Side Market, Cleveland’s oldest food hall, will also remain untouched. Guests can enjoy the patio and watch sporting events on the televisions inside the restaurant." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
"Michael Symon now serves tacos and tamales made from scratch alongside smokehouse dishes. The tacos feature house-made tortillas with various fillings such as pork shoulder, smoked chicken, beef brisket, and a vegetarian option. Mabel's also offers a classic hard shell taco with ground beef, pico de gallo, and jack cheese. Tamales come with fillings like KC BBQ brisket, smoked chicken with salsa verde, pork shoulder, and a vegetarian option with Monterey Jack cheese and smoked poblano peppers. The venue also has guacamole and chips made in house." - Susan Stapleton
