Very good! The service was quick, friendly and effecient. The food is very good! I had a Pulled Pork sandwich. Well smoked and the BBQ sauce on the table was good. I sort of wish they had more options when it comes to sauce. I’m a mustard based sauce fan. No joy there. :(My sister got the Brisket and loved it. My bother in law got a sandwich… and I cannot recall what it was! Overall, it was a delish experience and I look forward to going again. And maybe indulging in a beer.

Beer was very good service was excellent. Ordered the large order of wings and the beef brisket smothered in cheese, mushrooms and onions. Awesome wings and the brisket was excellent just disappointed to see all the time and work go into the proteins only to be served on a weak bun. That is my only complain im sure you can find a much better product than that. All in all very good and will be returning again in the future

Knocking off a couple stars. Tonight we went in and my wife ordered a «bowl» of beer cheese soup. What was delivered was 4oz — maybe 6oz — of soup in a bowl that probably could have held 16oz. She dipped the spoon straight in and only got maybe a half inch of depth. It was comical. When we asked our server, she said«one ladle is standard.» It really was comical compared to the sandwiches ordered by other people at the table. It used to be a full bowl when we last ordered it a year ago. Lame.

Since moving to the area, Lagerheads is probably the restaurant my family and I have visited most frequently. It’s kind of in the middle of nowhere, but it’s worth the trip for the smoky barbecue! Be careful about your timing… it gets really busy on Friday and Saturday nights and the wait is sometimes up to an hour. If it’s your first trip to Lagerheads, I’d say you can’t go wrong with the fresh pork rinds, the smoked chicken wings, or the White Water Witte. These pork rinds aren’t like the dusty curls you find at the store for a buck a bag… the huge plate of them arrives at your table piping hot and still crackling. The wings are full-sized, smoky, and tender. I just think the citrusy Begian Witte is a great complement to barbecue in general. Some of the entrees I’ve tried include one of the pulled pork sandwiches(huge), the IPA chicken(only slightly on the dry side but with great flavor), and the ribs. The ribs are tasty, but I think I actually liked them better the second day as leftovers! They also have a variety of sides, ranging from collard greens to hush puppies with all the standard options in between. The menu is pretty extensive, so I still haven’t tried all of the things that have caught my eye. Oh, and they usually have a cornbread sundae for dessert. I was so curious about it for my first few visits but had never saved enough room! I finally tried it the last time I went… it’s crumbled cornbread drizzled with honey and raspberry sauce and topped with pecans and ice cream. If those flavors sound like they’re up your alley, give it a try! Service here has been hit or miss for me, but it seems like it gets better every time I go. At first the servers were inattentive or really unaware of the items they had run out of, like the time my server came back to the table three times to tell me that they didn’t have the beer or cocktail I had ordered. That said, on our last visit we had Emma as our server and she was delightful!

This time when we were here the server forgot my beer and then served up some average fair. I should point out that I was in here once a few weeks earlier when they goofed up two entries in a row(they weren’t even edible) so I was mildly biased since I was looking for a repeat of that first time we went when this place knocked it out of the park. If I had to guess, success has made them complacent. However the pork rinds? Yum, almost worth five stars by themselves, but certainly worth at least three.

First off the food is great. Three stars represents the whole experience. The layout of the place is bad. Front entrance cramped the searing process is k but no where to wait. Once seated girls were great helpful and knowledgeable. Food came out quick. Ribs were the star. Wings were very good smoked and grilled. Collards underdone mac n cheese not the best. Onion rings were very good. Overall food was a 8 and place is a 4. Noise level in main room is ridiculously loud.

Heading up to a playoff football game and found this gem on the way up! I had the house soup and a sampler platter and was all great. Soup was so good when I return I will get some pig tails to accompany it. Brisket and pulled pork were excellent with the house bbq sauce and the wings with hot bbq sauce had the right heat with a touch of sweet, but the star imo was the ribs! The ribs were so tender and had a great Smokey and sweet flavor! The service was fast and friendly on a packed Saturday night we got in at the bar and were in and out. After placing our order appetizer was there in minutes followed by the main dish almost as soon as we finish our appetizer. A great dining experience!

Best ribs I have had in Ohio. Definitely worth the trip, or traveling to Medina. Glad to have found this place.

Best BBQ in Medina! I had the ½ & ½ platter because you can choose what you want. Large serving, love it left over too. Reheats well. Collard greens are delicious, almost as good as Bubbas Q in Avon, Ohio. Service is good. Lots of beers to choose from. Tonight I had the October Fest. Try it. You won’t be sorry.

Great beer and BBQ! Came in on a Saturday afternoon around 3:30. The house has 6 beers that they make. I had their IPA and loved it. We were just coming from a big lunch, so eating again wasn’t a priority, but damn the place smelled good! And we had it on good advice their pulled pork and brisket was excellent. So we tried the sampler platter. Enough pulled pork for a meal, and it was fantastic. Long strings of pork nicely seasoned without any type of sauce. I need to figure out how to make the same in my smoker. Although mine is pretty good, this was excellent! And the beef brisket was good, too. Nice smoke ring around the edge, great flavor. There were 3 rib bones. I don’t think these were babybacks, but the meat was good and fell off the bone. Wasn’t impressed, however, with the BBQ sauce. Too much like Open Pit to me. Lastly, there were 2 chicken wings. These were full wings, including both the wing and drumette. We got the spicy garlic BBQ sauce. They were excellent. You could really taste the chargrilled flavor in the wing. Only disappointment was the wing sauce was ladled on the wings, they weren’t tossed in it so some of the wing was left uncoated. Got mixed feelings on that, as I’m a big fan of sloppy wings, but you wouldn’t have tasted the chicken as well. We also tried the pig tails… beef brisket and cheese in a deep fried tortilla. Almost tasted like a flauta. It was good, but served with the same Open Pit style BBQ sauce. Although, I liked the sauce on the pig tail better than the ribs. Lastly, as we were leaving, a guy sitting down next to us at the bar got the Saturday prime rib special. OMG, this thing was HUGE! Look at the picture, had to be 2+” thick! Apparently, this is a Saturday after 5:00 special… and a lot of people know about it. When we arrived around 3:30, there were only a few people there. By 5:30, there were people waiting.

My friend and I took a long country drive out to Medina last weekend and appropriately wanted some good country BBQ — and Lagerheads definitely satisfied. The place looks perfect right when you pull in — a Roadhouse nestled quite literally in the middle of nowhere in rural medina — next to a cornfield and a mile drive from the local high school down gorgeous winding roads. There’s a nice porch filled with rocking chairs up front if there’s a wait while inside the joint is spacious but cozily packed as well. Our waitress was quick, incredibly nice, and very helpful when deciding on our meals for dinner — which can be hard to pick from as everything sounds amazing. They smoke their meats right there and you can definitely tell, as I could in my perfectly smoky, moist, bbq-y, and flavorful ribs/brisket combo. it was seriously so good that I considered getting another to-go order. The sides were equally as amazing, especially the baked beans. My buddy got the Cajun pasta dish which he loved and I also tried which I will attest was just as delicious. Each was wonderfully complimented by(many) of they well crafted local brews as well. This joint is worth the drive for an authentic, out in the backwoods, country, roadhouse BBQ experience and will definitely satisfy your cravings for some ‘que and brews.

Tried this place for lunch after church and it was pretty good. We both had pulled pork sandwiches with fries. The pork was very flavorful and the fries were fantastic. However, it should be noted that they cook their barbecue in a variety of spices that I found to be too spicy for me to be able to finish my sandwich. I could see the red pepper flakes very easily and since I don’t eat spicy foods at all, I wasn’t able to finish my sandwich. Prices also seemed a bit high. We may try it again if we’re in the area.

Went there Friday night and service was great very fast seating with no wait for us. We have been here quite a few times and food was always good. But I had the RIBS and was not to impressed very dry and tough and were just tasteless but this will not stop me from going back.

Went here on a Friday. Place was busy. Got the highfive ipa which was decent for an ipa Got the monster sandwich which was more hoagie than filling so it was disappointing. Should have got two more beers Instead. Cheese was not even melted. Over all I would go again but maybe expecting less before I come.

I haven’t visited Lagerheads since last year so I was excited when we had the opportunity to go back. We ordered the smokehouse sampler because we loved this when we visited before. Much to our surprise it was not nearly as good as we remembered. The pork was bland, brisket was terribly dry, and wings just okay(Fatheads spoiled me). Honestly the only good thing about the sampler was the amazing ribs. So I would suggest ditching the sampler and just going for the rib dinner! The pork rind appetizer was really good if that’s your sort of thing while the side salad I got with my entrée was really sad. Service was also really slow and inconsistent. Sad that this place has gone down hill a little!

We got the smokehouse platter: pulled pork, brisket, ribs & wings w/cornbread. Every single thing on the plate ROCKED. If you come here, you MUST get wings. WHOLE wings seasoned, smoked, and then grilled in one of many tasty sauces. Their BBQ sauce is awesome also. Had the Savage Stout… Outstanding. Tasted the Smokie Robbins… Even better. Sat at the bar, had perfect service. An all-around great experience.
