| - We went to oak and embers this Sunday, we live near strongsville, figured we'd trek out to chesterland to try this place out. Let me preface this by noting my family and I lived in Kansas City for 11 years and we loooove our bbq. We initially wanted to try out the restaurant as its pretty much, as far as I know, the only bbq place in the area that serves burnt ends--which is a quintessential kc bbq offering. We tried the burnt ends- tender, cooked perfectly, smokey and the sauce was awesome; a little sweet for my taste, but good. (Btw y'all should consider making the burnt ends a meal or offer a pork burnt end option) I got the pulled pork- also tender, fell apart the way it should, massive portion, and the sauce was even better than the one served with the burnt ends. First family member got the beef brisket- she loved it, I had a bite and can attest it was also tender, more lean than expected (not a bad thing). Other family member got the sausage-he said it was really good, flavorful, spicy; but will be sticking to the pulled pork or brisket next time. Our sides were also to die for-the Mac and cheese was good, sometimes when it's out on a menu at a southern style restaurant or bbq place it can taste like an afterthought but this was seriously good Mac and cheese. Cornbread was dope as well. Not to be forgotten, the drink selection is extensive and impressive for someone interested in bourbon. We will be back, we were very happy with our food, the service and the atmosphere. We were surprised to have found an authentic bbq place up in ne Ohio, we've tried a few but nothing had compared to home, but this place did.
