Mabel's came to Cleveland, specifically to East 4th Street, at a time where there really wasn't a high-quality casual dining spot to go to where people could feel free wearing jeans, down a few beers and get a good but relatively inexpensive meal. Mabel's has solved that and really given a new flavor to the street. Everything is smoked in-house, and their house sauce is to die for. I have not tried anything here that I haven't liked, and that's saying a lot for someone who RARELY eats red meat. My personal favorite has to be the Mr. Beef sandwich - super filling and a great way to try out the brisket!
