I really enjoyed the overall experience at Mabel's! We came here for a double lunch date after exploring the West Side Market (yay day full of CLE fun!). The first thing you notice when you walk in is just how well everything flows... the decor is very urban, chic, and fun! It's kind of like walking into a cool warehouse where they serve you food. The tables are very close to each other like community seating, but that just helps you make new friends!
As far as the food goes, I really liked the Polish girl (which I ordered solely because it describes me as a person). The kielbasa was delicious and the sweetness from the cole slaw was not overpowering. We also ordered the potatoes... would 100% recommend those! Perfectly cooked and delicious. Both my fiance and the couple we were with ordered ribs. The others seemed to like them, but Bill was not pleased with the amount of gristle in his ribs. He said they were too tough for him and he was disappointed since this was supposed to be a BBQ place.
Our server was good... She was not all up in our business but she seemed to be around when we needed her. I would definitely come here again, but I guess it will have to be without Bill (oh well!)
