  • I have spent summers in North Carolina and winters in South Carolina. In the Carolinas barbecue means what is known rather sordidly as pulled pork elsewhere. Pork ribs are the only other meat at barbecue stands. On every table is a plastic pitcher of sweetened iced tea. These places are all over and usually have their own following but in truth most are similar offering excellent barbecue and ribs. Over the past few years I have seen the founders of Old Carolina interviewed and watched their Canton restaurant branch to Akron and now to Cleveland. Friends of mine living near the newly opened Lyndhurst location suggested I join them yesterday at Old Carolina. In my travels West I have acquired an appreciation of barbecued brisket, turkey and sausage. Old Carolina goes beyond Carolina tradition and offers brisket and turkey. Oddly being located in the undisputed USA sausage capital it does not offer sausage. I ordered the combo plate with turkey and brisket. For sides I had mac and cheese and Brunswick stew. Rather than corn bread Old Carolina places a commercially made inedible soft roll on the plate. Every thing on my paper lined metal tray was a letdown. The brisket was well smoked but was so streaked with fat it resembled pork belly. The turkey had a processed texture and was dry. The Brunswick stew was canned tomatoes with shreds of pork and beef. The mac and cheese was not the rich concoction of the Carolinas made with milk, cheese and eggs but a pale and flavorless pasta. Portions were conspicuously small. I had Cheerwine soda which the owners claim accompanies barbecue in the Carolinas, but I rarely see it there and even in local grocery stores very little shelf space is given to Cheerwine. Iced tea is the table wine. One of my companions had the boneless skinless chicken breast which can not be good anywhere, but his wife had the ribs which she said were a bit better than average. My dinner came to $17 and no where worth what that amount can buy elsewhere. The servers are a bit too attentive. The place is spacious and clean. Deserving of three stars at most but a demerit for over pricing. Ray Rays remains the best barbecue in Cleveland despite it being a food truck in Columbus.
