I often stop in here after playing golf as Shale Creek and love filling up on their wings. I swear they have some magic sauce or secret preparation, because I can not get enough. Pretty much every thing I've ever had has been amazing as well. The portions are very generous and the flavors are balanced. The atmosphere is also a plus, with high top seats in the bar area and plenty of seating in the dining. Whatever a Lagerhead is, I want to become one! Keep doing what you're doing and expect me back often. read more

Awesome pork rinds. The food was good and the workers were very friendly. Nice place to have a beer and some munchies. read more

My daughter and I went out on A Monday night. Not really knowing what to expect, she got a pulled chicken sandwich with fries and I ordered pork medallioms with sweet potato tots and mac n cheese. The mac and cheese was ok..... but everything else was outstanding including the beer. I highly recommend this place. read more

Took my wife and 3 year old daughter last night and was very pleasantly surprised! I was expecting a much larger place, and when we pulled up and saw what is basically a red barn, my expectations dropped. The staff and other patrons were VERY friendly and showed quick service. The BBQ Porkloin was amazing, the chicken fingers were greatly above average, great cole slaw... the works! Being a beer snob, I'm generally pretty critical about beer. I had their IPA, and it was decent. Just an average IPA, a little dark in color, but worth trying if you're into the style. My wife had their Belgian Wit, and that was very refreshing and tasty. I had a sample of their stout, and wasn't blown away, but I still enjoyed it. Nothing too special about it, just a solid all-around stout. Very pleasant experience. I'll definitely go back soon! read more

I love ribs. I'm a rib freak - a rib aficionado. The ribs here are awesome. It's the sauce, the smokiness, and the char. Put these attributes together on tender, loose on the bone meat and it makes me close my eyes and savor. I'm salivating right now just writing this. Aside from the ribs, the chicken is very good. My daughter and I had the wings, and while they came with dipping sauces, I enjoyed them sans sauce. The smoke and char on them was just right, and they were crisp and tender. While the brisket was tasty, it was a bit dry. And while my daughter really enjoyed the pulled pork, I thought it too was a little too dry. read more

Everyone was friendly and the atmosphere is nice. I was very happy with the beer, but the food was disappointing. The pulled pork was very dry and lacked much flavor except smoke. The brisket was also very dry and other than smoke, had some kind of processed meat chemical flavor. The only comparison I could think of is the flavor of pre-marinaded meats from the grocery store. The wings and the ribs were pretty good if you dont mind the heavy smoke flavor. I also got the brisket melt sandwich and the cheese was a processed cheese like the nacho cheese you get in bulk and the bread was not at all up to the job of holding the sandwich together. When I picked it up, the bread fell apart and everything came out. I took a small taste of the brisket and didn't eat anymore. They need to adjust their smoker temp, time, and wrap the meat earlier so it doesn't dry out and end up with such an overpowering smoke flavor. read more

Get there early because the parking lot fills up quickly! My favorite go to is the half rack of ribs and the collard greens which are the best I've had. The interior tables could use a little updating - two of the chairs at the table wobbled. The Abbeyville Trippel was a delicious ale choice as well! Our waiter was super nice and efficient. The burgers are great, the drinks are mixed well and the venue is enjoyable for a social night out. read more

Okay, so I was really pleasantly surprised by this place. I'm not a BBQ joint type of gal, but I dutifully went with my BBQ-loving boyfriend. Somehow, I ended up enjoying it more than he did. I got the seasonal spinich salad. I don't even remember all of the scrumptious things they covered it in, all I remember was that it was one of the best salads I've had in a long time. FRESH spinach, FRESH veggies, FRESH, vibrant fruit and an amazing House Dressing. I seriously used restraint in not licking the plate. The only reason I didn't give a higher review is because of my boyfriend's "Meh" attitude towards his porkloin. I mean, if they're known for BBQ and his was "Meh," I can't rightly give a higher star rating than "A-OK," now can I? Either way, I'll be back for that salad. read more

On vacation from Indy we need a place like this there just happened to looking on line for places to eat, OMG, what a goof find, excellent beer and food had the smoked pork dinner, very good read more

This is my second favorite BBQ place I've been to in Ohio. Second to Pig Iron. Lagerheads is a bit of a 'country' drive, but onceyou're there it is really a nice place. It's got a huge on-site smoker, cute patio (not for dining), large bar area and plenty of seating. It's got great atmosphere and great food to match. The service is friendly and on the slower side, but not sooo slow you'd complain. It looks like sitting at the bar would be fun and fast. Lagerheads is my parent's absolute favorite BBQ as far as ribs and briskett go. For pulled pork, it's still Pig Iron. I had the pulled pork sammie (my BBQ test meal) with fresh cut fries. The pulled pork was good, just a tad dry, but great smoky flavor. Their sauce was pretty good too. Not too thick and not too runny. The fries were fries. Overall, my meal here was better than average for BBQ and blew Hoggy's out of the water. Lagerheads is definitely a place that deserves repeat visits! read more

This was probably the best restaurant food I've ever had. I got the BBQ ranch wedge salad minus ranch, BLT & chips & Ribs and it was all amazing. I will definitely be going back and the service was amazing read more

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. read more

Lagerheads - Fun bar great food. - Barbeque Near Me - Medina, Ohio

Great food! Great local beer! Great Overall experience. The local BBQ sauce is sweet and a little tangy. Was able to get two tall (32 oz) beers a short (16 oz) beer and a couple appetizers. (Good portions). For less than $39.00 for two. Definitely coming back! read more

1st time visiting the area and wanted to find something local. The atmosphere is great and service is friendly. It is off the beaten path so was full of locals. There is a separate dining section which is likely where families would be seated. I was seated in the bar section which has more then enough seating. I was not so impressed with the food. The cornbread was less than desirable (a bit too floury) and my ribs were burnt. It's a shame because the BBQ sauce was quite tasty. Unfortunately, I believe they may have added extra sauce to my ribs to cover their mistake in overcooking the ribs. As for beers, I only tasted one. It's too bad they don't have a small sampler on the menu - I would have gladly ordered it to taste all of the different types they had on tap (approx 6 of their own). I also asked the service attendant what she would recommend as far as their local beers go and she did not seem to be very knowledgeable on which would be a local favorite. I ended up ordering their Stout which tasted like a Guinness clone. read more

This place is dope. Great atmostphere. First time I ate here I salivated. Has become my favorite place to visit. Have been taking out of town friends here even though it is very far away. Totally worth it. WING,RIBS,NACHOS, BREWS---- ALL KICK ASS!!!!! Seeds&Things read more

The ambiance of this place is amazing. Not your average restaurant in a shopping plaza. Sits by itself in the country in Medina. The décor is also cool with the feeling that your at a local neighborhood tavern in a gravel parking lot. Don't be fooled by getting a small order of 3 wings and a large order of 6. Each wing is twice the size of your average wing and are very filling. I got the Sloppy "Big Butt" sandwich. For around $9, I struggled to finish this and I got an appetite. They also give you a generous portion of fries. I also heard the ribs here are amazing. Finally, they have a great list their famous Lager Heads brew that is excellent. I really liked the Red Bead Ale as it goes down easy with any sandwich. If you aren't into microbrews, they also have a list of domestic beers. If you like microbrews and hidden finds in the country setting of Medina County, Lager Heads is the place for you. read more

So glad we found this place! Absolutely delighted with the food and service. I'll definitely be back!

oh good lord. fantastic food outstanding service. and the deserts. HOMEMADE. how many restaurants can boast that ?! just try it. it's closer than you think. wow. and great micro beer too! wow 4 years ago? dang. oh well ok. now it's 04/18. not once have i had a complaint about this place, but i have hit the chink in the armor. salmon is usually very good. get it blackened, as does my daughter but this time, hers was raw in the center. yuk! they made good by taking it off the bill, but knowing my kid. this place is off the list! but i must say. a great place. everyone deserves a second chance. read more

Lager heads is the best! I wish i could give it even more stars! Everything I've ate and drank here has been amazing. We return every chance we get. Abbey cakes are the best thing ever created and i could really eat them as my meal but why stop there? Lol .... both lagers & the red head taste the best and the high five doesn't taste the best but it smells good so it's easier to drink.. enjoy! read more

Lagerheads has the best BBQ around. Get the smokehouse sampler. Great value. Brisket, ribs, pulled pork, and wings. Comes with two sides. For $17.99 it was more than enough for two. Lagerheads is also a microbrewery and offers 5 microbrews. Tried 2 and they were great as well. Service was outstanding. I will be going back very soon. read more

I just came back from a short trip to Ohio and was pleasantly suprised when we were introduced to this restaurant for lunch. The menu was typical barbeque and bar food...but that is exactly what I wanted. We stared off with a couple appetizers, including their Rib Teaser and Beer Battered Onion Rings. Both were delicious. The Ribs had a nice Char on them and the Barbeque sauce was very tasty. We ordered their Big Butt Sandwich (pulled pork), Rib dinners and Black and Blue Burger. ALL were exceptional. We enjoyed some of their home brews. They had quite a selection so we ordered a Flight of beers to sample 6 of them. Quite a variety of flavors and over all great products. Service and Quality of food was excellent. So good that we ended up eating there for dinner the next night. Enjoyed their Fish Fry dinner and Pork Rinds for an appetizer. (those were excellent...not something you can find in every restaurant. Great to see a local business thriving in literally the middle of two corn fields. I would highly recommend it for all. Don't let the "Barn style" building keep you away. Give it a try...I am confident you will be pleasantly suprised as well. read more

Visited with the family and really enjoyed our meals. We started with the Nachos that we all agreed were the best we ever had. The southern style brisket was excellent. Very good service and excellent food. read more

Lagerheads - Southern Style Brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Medina, Ohio

Perfect date night for two. I love this place! From appetizers to salads and ribs and dessert. This is one of my favorites, hands down.

I have been here 2 times and ate here twice. The food is average and my opinion nothing really to rave about. If you live locally and looking to go out to eat this is your place. But if your not from the area don't make a special trip out here. The only thing I thought was good, was the beer. Been here in a busy Saturday evening and also on a Tuesday evening, both times the service was nothing exceptional. read more

Best BBQ in the area! Everything is absolutely delicious. I was nervous when I first went with my family because from the outside it looked like a biker bar, but oh wow was I blown away by the pulled pork and BBQ ribs. And the wings are to die for too! read more

5 stars for sure. Love this place. A red neck setting in side and some of the best beer you will ever have. I am not much for lager but I drink it here. And their smoke food is the best around for sure. When we came here the first time we ordered their Abby cakes and were so mind blowing they could've been the meal them selves. A mixture of pulled pork, bell peppers, and other stuff lol and fried. Make sure you get these as your appetizer. You won't regret it, I promise! read more

Got some beers and dinner after golf. High five ipa, good stuff, Cuban sandwich, fantastic stuff. Sandwich was awesome. Pork was great, pickles were great, bread was great. Nice crunch. I think I got the remnants on the chips, but were good too. Great place for beer and BBQ. Will always go back. read more

Lagerheads is a Distinct Pleasure There are very few restaurants in Medina, Ohio that can be described as a great experience. Lagerheads demonstrates that good food and drink are possible outside of urban environments. Lagerheads brews their own beer, and it is quite tasty. One act of poor judgement of the 200th Aniversary Committee was denying the community the pleasure of a quality beverage that represents the excellence of the people of Medina. Any ways, the beer is cold and good! The food is excellent. If you like smoked meats and thick, juicy burgers, then you are looking at the right place for a great meal. Go there! The only problem with Lagerheads is that it often gets crowded and parking is impossible. Hopefully the owners will resist the temptation to expand. When places go for size, quality often suffers. I would rather wait. read more

We have been to Lagerheads with my in laws a few times, it is a scenic drive through Medina to get there. The beers they brew are pretty good and it is a nice place to visit. I wish the food was better, it is average, at best. The staff is very nice and friendly but food is disappointing and not consistent at all. Such a shame, because the historic building and bar is really nice...not a big fan of their menu... read more

GREAT food and wonderful little place! The barn burner is a must have, but have a designated driver!

Smoked wings have always been one of our favorites but our latest take out order was a big bust. Something went very wrong with the process or the cook that day. Losing faith in getting a consistent order lately. read more

The outdoor seating is reserved for the golf league. Well I guess there is no outdoor seating. Have no reason to go back to this place the tables can sit empty. read more

Took mother and father in law for father's day excellent service tory was great food was the best bbq I've had in ohio beers were fantastic also great job we will be back!! read more

Very nice wait staff, really made me want to like them The smokehouse sampler platter consisted of three ribs, at least a half pound of brisket, half again as much pork and two wings, which were full chicken wings. Throw in the two sides and this is a heck of a lot of food for 18.99. Two people could share it with no one going without Ribs - overcooked, dry and a complete waste of time Chicken wings - undercooked and pink/bloody at the bone. I wish I could say that it was just smoked meat, but the pink and blood was near the bone and the joints, so they plainly weren't fully cooked. A shame, because the spicy bbq sauce was one of the best things I tasted. Brisket - cooked perfectly, but lacked seasoning. It was a sad, because it was very moist and tender. Some salt and pepper and this would have been a home run, as it was, it was a "meh". Pork - watery, mushy and just plain bad. Not even their pretty good sauce could salvage it The service was good and it's a nice looking place. Plenty of cars in the parking lot, so I doubt they care much about anything I have to say, but this place wouldn't last 6 months anywhere in the South PS putting gravy on brisket does not make it southern read more

This was our second visit. The food was fine, I had the half chicken and my husband had the pork loin. The service was really lacking this night though. The place was busy, but not so busy that no one could check on us or refill a drink! The parking lot was jam packed but there were still tables, so service should have been alright. We will probably go back because we live close by, but I'm not in a rush to get there soon. read more

This is only my 2nd time coming here...and, I assure you...my LAST! Went in with a large group of friends...everyone in the room's meal came...but neither mine nor my husband's! I was told the first reason we weren't served was that they ran out of fries...then it was the timing of my having ordered a salad first...and then that my husband had ordered deviled eggs- that threw off the timing??!! Everyone at my table got their meals- and were finishing up, when she finally brought our meals. What'd we order, you ask??? A simple bacon cheeseburger, and ribs! Not anything Super complicated...they didn't have to go out and harvest potatoes or slaughter a cow, right? But it took 20 minutes after everyone else was served for her to even bring our food out! Come back again? hmmm... I think not! They get 1 star, and that's only because I can't go lower than 1! read more

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. read more

Every time I've been here I have been disappointed. I don't know if it is just the style of food or if I'm not alone. I go, I order chicken wings because everyone tells me how great they are and they just taste like burnt chicken with no seasoning or flavor, just plain burnt chicken. So if you're not into what people keep telling me is "great BBQ" I would not go here. I am not and was not impressed. read more
