As far as barbecue in Mentor goes, this place is your best bet. Service is better when the manager is there, but overall not too shabby. They have the types of meats you expect to get when craving barbecue and their sides are alright. I'm a fan of a fresh baker (baked potato with your choice of meat and fried onions) and their salad is a good choice too. Hubby usually goes for a meat plate and the baked potato casserole. Pretty sure this is the only place around with fried okra. The best part, however, is the fact that you can leave with a souvenir cup filled with root beer and ice cream!
