Came here tonight with my sister and her fiancé. My husband had gotten a gift card and t-shirt from them for Christmas. I had the Brisket dinner and my husband had a special sandwich with pulled Brisket and prime rib with BBQ sauce. My Brisket was a bit dry but delicious and the coleslaw was really good. My husbands sandwich was amazing. He had one of their beer selections which he enjoyed. Overall we enjoyed our dinners and there was plenty on the menu for us to go back again and again! Definitely worth a few tries!!!! read more

We normally get fantastic food and okay service from this tavern. We asked for carry out and the lady on the phone A little testy at first but after talking for a second she was great. We ordered carry out sandwiches and pretzel sticks and were going to have a little picnic out of our car. When I got there to pick up my order there was not a single employee at the bar. Every time a waitress went by I tried to make eye contact or wave. ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR CUSTOMER, totally ignored, the other customers told me they would send someone over. When the lady came out with our order she was great and I paid. We got to where we were going to picnic and the sandwich I had was NOT what I ordered. It was correct on the ticket but the chef made whatever he wanted. And it was soaked in liquid so much that we could not eat any of it. Pretzel sticks where crunchy burnt. We went home and reheated the meat and tossed the rest of the sides too. What a waste. read more

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. read more

Unreal BBQ ribs fall off the bone. Beer is micro brew and great. Can't say enough good things about here. I eat here at least 2 times a month read more

I really thought the address must have been wrong because this place is in a residential-type area. Glad we found it, though. They brew their own beer here and from what I tasted they were pretty solid. I had the Smoke House Sampler which came with ribs, brisket, pulled pork, and wings. Everything on the sampler was good except for the pulled pork. But the wings, which I was least excited about when ordering, were awesome. They were very large, meaty, and the spicy curry sauce was great. We'll be returning for certain. read more

Stopped here last night to watch a little basketball. I had heard this place had great microbewed beer and barbeque food - and I heard right! For beer I had the "Kilt 'Em All" which had a nice malty flavor, that was smooth and not too overpowering (so I stuck with it for a couple more). For food I ordered "The Combo" appetizer because it allowed me to sample the wings, ribs, onion rings, and the cream cheese jalapeno wraps. The ribs had fantastic flavor; the wings (with Carribean jerk rub) were big and had great flavor as well; the beer battered onion rings were about as good as it gets; and the jalapeno wraps (like little won tons) were loaded with cream cheese and served with a side of plumb sauce. I will definitely be heading back to this place - however, deciding what to order may be a problem. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Lagerheads is the local go to place. So be warned any night of the week there will be a long wait. But it's worth it 100% of the time. My family's favorites are the pulled pork, the ribs, the massive piece of Devine carrot cake. The staff is always friendly. But the place is always hopping. But there is a great patio to wait on. read more

Just went to Lagerheads this afternoon with a group of 7. We ordered both food and drink, and I walked away fairly disappointed after having this place talked up They had the following Lagerhead-brewed beers on tap (I don't remember all of the names, but will include what I do remember): * Barnburner lager: listed as a golden lager, but clearly an amber lager. This beer was well out of style for something labeled "golden", but it was drinkable. I just think they should list this as what it is, pretty much a Vienna lager. And if this was labeled Vienna lager, I think it would be better served with some melanoidin malt because it comes off as lacking complexity. * Oktoberfest: probably the most to-style beer they had, very drinkable, low bitterness, and a nice, mild floral hop character. * Bed head red ale: no one had this, so I can't comment. * A tripel that I don't remember the name of, but no one had it, so again, I can't comment. * A barleywine: this barleywine was big, but not too alcoholic. However, it was fairly heavy-handed with the crystal malt. Barleywine as a style should really let the base malt come through (which is why for English styles you often see the use of Golden Promise or Maris Otter). One may certainly add character with some crystal malt, but in this case the SRM was in the mid- to high-20s, making this beer very cloying. * High five IPA: again, not too bad of a beer, but way overdone with the crystal malt. Very American character, with citrusy hops (probably Columbus and Centennial, maybe some Chinook, doubt there was Simcoe or Amarillo), but I thought the hop aroma and flavor could have been higher by using more late hop additions. The bitterness was nice for the rather high alcohol level for the style, 7.5%. This beer to me just had too much caramel character for an IPA, which should be drier to let the hop bitterness have more of a role. Given the beer only, I would have given this joint three stars, but the food that was ordered on my tab was pathetic. I ordered the ahi tuna dinner, but the tuna came out way overcooked, my salad was pretty pedestrian due primarily to the choice of iceberg lettuce which sucks compared to romaine, and a small side of baked beans, which was reasonably tasty. My girlfriend's chicken sandwich was undercooked, and the cheese on it seemed to be fairly low-quality. And I forgot to mention the service was fairly mediocre. All the way around, I think this place could use an overhaul. They seem to be trying to do things on the cheap; maybe that will work for a while, but eventually it catches up with you. read more

Great food and good beer. I highly recommend the sampler platter. Also be warned the wings are not traditional wings so don't order qty based on BW3. read more

Never had a bad meal!!! You can always plan on a good meal no matter what you order!!! Beer selection is great!! We frequent lagerheads often! read more

I'd like to write a review, but... I'm in Medina for business on Monday, get in on Sunday, want a beer and some hockey. Evidently the Puritans of Local Government need to foist their morality on everyone since the blue laws of the 1700's are still in place in NW Ohio NO BEER SALES ON SUNDAY Hmm, maybe we should burn some witches later.... read more

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! read more

This is the best BBQ restaurant in the area. Don't go to Dickey's...drive a little further and have real BBQ! Great service, great beer, great food and amazing corn bread. read more

Sloppy BBQ is the way to go! Huge pulled pork sandwich, covered in coleslaw and bbq sauce on a hoagie. The only thing I have tried there, but why stray from SUCH a great thing?? The fries are sometimes a little undercooked (mushy), or they've been sitting too long. But when they're done right, they're good. I'm honestly not a huge fan of their beers, I wish they had a bigger selection. read more

We met two of our friends here on Saturday. None of us had been here previously and didn't know what to expect. We were coming here because of the beer. Let me tell you this place was great! The beers were excellent. I tried the stout, the pale ale and the red. All were excellent. The stout was my favorite. We sat at the bar because there was an hour wait. We had a blast. Even though the bartenders were really busy, they were attentive and friendly. The other patrons were also friendly. After we were seated, we had the Cajun wings as an appetizer. These are full, smoked and seasoned wings and they were outstanding. These rank as some of the best wings I have ever had. I had the smoked brisket for my entree. It was outstanding. The vegetable of the day was fried green tomatoes Everything was excellent. We will go back again. This is a new favorite! read more

My wife and I have been going to Lagerheads for over a year and a half now. This place is almost an hour drive for us, but is well worth it. The hot wings put most places to shame. Phenomenal flavor and always perfectly cooked. They aren't deep fried like most places. The pulled pork is smoked there at the restaurant and is as good as some of the south's best. The bbq sauce is a great blend of spicy and sweet. The brisket is a great sandwich too. The beer is fantastic too. If you have a chance to taste their stout don't pass up the opportunity. We can't complain about the service either. Service is typical of a place that busy. Every time we go there the restaurant is usually packed (which is a good sign). Prices are very reasonable for the proportions that you get. I really can't say enough about this place. If you like bbq or wings you really have to try it. read more

The food was good, but not exceptional. I was very disappointed that I called a month ahead & was told I could save tables for my large party of 20-30, then the day before & of, I was told they could not let me hold tables for my party. The manager was very rude & was going to have my 87 yr. Old mother who uses a walker to stand & wait because she did not want to seat us. There was a whole room open with plenty of seats for 20 of us. I could understand this if we just showed up, but I called twice. At one point she told me I could call another restaurant in town for seating. This might be why that restaurant is above this one on Yelp. We did end up with 22 people & probably spent $400 +. I'm guessing this means they do not care about our business anymore & I will not be visiting them again. read more

Great beer and ribs! This the first place I bring friends from out of town! It's the first place they ask to go back to on there next visit. Medina' best kept secret. Don't miss this place read more

Lagerheads is my local bbq / bar food " go to " if I don't want to venture out of Medina. I am a chicken wing connoisseur, and let me tell you the wings at Lagerheads are amazing! I could also eat their beer cheese soup for every meal. Beer has awesome taste, but if we are being picky here it could use slightly more carbonation. Staff has always been more than accommodating. The atmostphere is a bit better in their bar area than it is in the smaller dining area. Great place, check it out. read more

My husband and I stopped in there Friday afternoon to grab a quick bite to eat while we were doing some running around. My husband has been in there before and is a huge fan of the wings so we figured it would be a great place to grab lunch. As we entered we were greeted immediately by the bartender. She asked if we wanted to sit at a table or the bar, so we figured we would just scoot up to the bar since she seems very pleasant. We ordered the pork rinds which were amazing and plentiful. I had a bowl of the beer cheese soup and my husband had some chicken tortilla soup which were both delicious and we split the Poboy. The food in itself was really good but the reason for my post is the bartender. Kristen was amazing I was having somewhat of a rough day and she took the time out to talk to me and make me feel better. Long story short we stayed a lot longer than we expected to lol. Kristen is a great asset to your company and we will definitely make a point to come back more often. read more

This was our first time at Lagerheads (a Saturday night) and the parking lot was packed - had to wait for a spot to open but we figured that was a good sign. They did not disappoint, food was delicious. I had the prime rib (served Saturdays only) and my husband tried the barbecued chicken. Both meals were delicious including the creamy coleslaw and sweet potato tots. Great service too. We will definitely be going back. read more

Dry pulled pork, Ribs were cold. They were out of Brisket and mac and cheese was extremely dry. Wings were fine. The beers were good. Extremely disappointed considering the reviews. read more

Ordered smoked wings and brisket to-go. Brisket was much fattier than expected. Smoked wings were delicious. We ordered the plain dry rub with 2 sauces on the side. Spicy garlic was amazing. Asked for the veggie of the day for our side and got watery broccoli in cheese sauce? Very strange. read more

Great meats, home brews, and good BBQ! Definitely a locals hangout and worth the drive.

Very plain interior but the bbq ribs were delightful as was the onion ring appetizer! The beer was so-so and really wasn't anything to get excited about read more

Food was fantastic! Service was perfect and the beers were amazing. Kind of a hidden gem to me. We just stumbled upon this place and we weren't sure if it was a house or restaurant. Very inviting. We are not from this area and this place is about 40 min from our house but it's so worth the drive. Thanks for the great food, service and of course the beer!! read more

Everything here is good to eat. Try the big butt or their pulled pork! They have a great selection of beer as well as their own microbrews which are great! They can get busy and have a long wait with little space to wait unless it's warm and you are a smoker. read more

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

Nice try. Beer was average. Service was average. And food was below average. I got the special "pork tenderloin sandwich". Let's just say I'm from Indiana and that is not how you make that sandwich. It was very chewy in Davie was not tenderized at all. They're famous beer cheese on their fries tasted like cheese whiz in frozen french fries. Been there done that never again. read more

Went on a busy Saturday night. The waitress was very prompt and attentive. We had good barbecue with chicken wings, pulled pork, and the ribs being our favorites. The winter warmer on tap was good as well. read more

Cannot say enough good things about this place! I have yet to order something I did not like. The beer selection is vast and the food compliments it well. Friendly staff will just add to the great experience. Definitely a unique place that any explorer needs to try. read more

Great Food! I had ribs and brisket very tender sauce was very good. I really liked the Scottish Ale. The High Five was my least favorite. Server was very polite, funny and attentive. Can't wait to try the Big Butt Sandwich. Will definitely return. read more

I go and and think this will be awesome, but it is just pretty good. It is a solid choice.

Great place with some good BBQ. I had the sloppy BBQ samwhich, which was pretty good. The pulled pork was delicious, unfortunately the coleslaw tasted like the bottom of a pickle jar, a lot of dill. And the hoagie roll wasn't too fresh. Fries were all right. The service was very good however and my party of 8 had a great time and was well taken care of. read more

Some of the best smoked BBQ in the north. Great craft beers as well. Moderately priced but smoking takes time and money so I get it. My family of 6 can eat and drink for under $80 which is about standard at the chains. The service is strong and the atmosphere is down home country. read more

Just moved into the Medina area and we were looking for a place to grab lunch. We hit the place during the off-lunch hours. The place was pretty empty except for some folks sitting at the bar. I would highly recommend the pork rinds! Crackling right to the table and they were delicious. We ordered three different sandwiches and all were outstanding, although enough to feed two or more! I might suggest smaller portion options, or maybe share your lunch with another. Service was good, atmosphere is ok. Would stop back in again. read more

This is a great place to dine while you watch your favorite sport. Or for those that want a more restaurant feel, they have that too. My husband and I arrived around 6:45pm on a Saturday. Parking lot was pretty full, so pleasantly surprised when we were seated immediately. We sat in,2/3 full, bar area, great atmosphere, multiple TV's with sporting events on. Nick, our server, was friendly, attentive and quick to serve us. By the time we ordered, place was full, with line waiting to be seated. Food was delicious, we shared the House soup, great beer cheese soup with pull pork. Sample dinner, had brisket, pulled pork, ribs and a couple full chicken wings. Brisket and pulled pork were moist, tender with great smoked flavor, no sauce needed. Ribs were tender and easily removed from bone. Chicken wings, we got with Caribbean jerk dry rub, were also tender and tasty. Onion rings cooked to perfection crispy coating but onion not mushy. Cole slaw had light dressing with great taste. Plenty of food for two. Finished with carrot cake, to go, which was large enough for two or three. It completely filled a regular size to go container, see pic. Reasonably priced. Would definitely return and recommend to others. read more

Lagerheads - Barbeque Near Me - Medina, Ohio

See all

Food was fantastic. Went on a Saturday and almost didn't find parking so I'm not the only one to think this. The brisket I had melted in my mouth, best I've ever had. Place was a little loud due to the open style seating, and it looked like a long wait but well worth it. I sat at the bar and got service right away. read more
