B&M Bar-b-que

The food was great! Had a polish boy and a rib/​wing combo. Wings were awesome and the sauce too. No need to ask for extra sauce, when they put the sauce on everything it’s more than enough. Service is slow but worth the wait.

Fresh ribs and chicken anyone? Slather on some of that «slap yo mamma» BBQ sauce, a side of that crab potato salad and you’re good to go… Did i mention it’s reasonably priced? Friendly service? Can watch them smoke those ribs outside? Yep, it’s all there… Don’t let the bullet proof glass scare you off, good eatins’ within

Was excited to find BBQ near one of my clients. I was spoiled down in Columbus by Ray Ray’s Hog Pit where I ate nearly every single day they were open (Fri-​Sun).
This place is cleaner than Hot Sauce, but the same low grade Cleveland ‘hood slop.
Shoulder sandwich was a uniform and uninspiring grey with no smoke ring or ANY visual evidence of being smoked. I requested sauce on the side, but had my sandwich covered in cold BBQ sauce and as is customary in Cleveland, served on flimsy sliced bread.
I don’t understand how people think places like this and Hot Sauce Williams are any good…

I was born and raised in Cleveland… But I haven’t lived there for 20+ years
that being said I know good barbeque:)
I was in town for Thanksgiving had to have some… my family picked it up
the taste was wonderful and brought back memories
I will visit again… I wonder if they can ship it… T

Don’t know a lot about the Waterloo neighborhood but I was starving and wanted to stop someplace in the area. My trusty Unilocal app pointed out this place and I’m glad it did
Everyone always talks about Hot Sauce Williams and how amazing it is but the ambiance leaves little to be desired. Being dirty is not charming. It does not add character.
That’s why I think B&M is better. Everything about this place was surprising in the best possible way. You can see the smoke as your driving down the street beckoning you to the parking lot. The smokers are always in action. As you step out the delicious smell of meat greets you.
You walk in the doors and the place is immaculate. I mean spotless. There’s no place to sit but it’s designed so you can see what’s going on in the kitchen through the bulletproof glass.
I tried the chicken wings and the shoulder sandwich. For about 5 bucks you get a generous portion of deliciously tender shoulder slathered in homemade BBQ sauce and covered in slaw. The BBQ sauce was tangy and light and the slaw was the perfect compliment to the shoulder.
The fried chicken wings were big, crispy and full of meat. Definitely better than wings from actual wing places.
This was a great experience and I would definitely go out of my way to go here again.

Would you like B.M.
awesome bar-​b-​que behind
bulletproof glass waits.
Having passed this joint up in the past, this joint got my curiosity up enough to stop in and fulfill my munchie desires. Big ghetto grills were smoking away in the parking lot. Always a good sign. Not a trace of litter in the parking lot — another good sign. The walk from the car to the takeout window (no eating in) was a walk through an oh-​so-​heady wood and meat scented fog. Heavenly. It could be made into a men’s cologne. You look straight into the kitchen which appears to be big and super clean. No Ramsey Kitchen Nightmares here folks.
Simple menu.
RIBS: long, short, half slabs, by-​the-​bone…
RIB TIPS: 4−8−12 oz size, spicy/​sweet Yankee style BBQ sauce.
SHOULDER: Pork shoulder superbly smoked and pulled with a vinegary southern style BBQ sauce. Sandwich or dinner option.
WINGS: with or without sauce. I am not sure if they have regular fried chicken, but I hope so, as these wings were full size, battered and fried to perfection.
There were a few sides, and a peach cobbler as well.
The pork shoulder dinner $ 8.75, was out of this world good. Super moist, deep smokey flavor.
The fried chicken was superb. By far the best I have had in Cleveland.
Rib tips were a tad tough at times, but I’d do it again in a heart beat. Or heart attack.
Real homemade coleslaw was a bonus!
All in all, clean, cool, and the real deal. –Don’t be in a hurry, service is slow, but I’ll be back B&M!
Carry on.
