    Saturday night beef rib special
    Karen C.

    Saturday Beef Ribs are no joke! Go hungry! Portions are huge and well worth the price. The bark was delicious, meat was tender and juicy, so flavorful it doesn't need any sauce. Service was friendly and efficient. Pleasant atmosphere and good selection of beers.

    Dedicated dance floor and bandstand

    If there were 10 stars, this place would qualify!! Do NOT let the name throw you off--Uncle Bo's food and service was fantastic!! Inside, everything is wooden, giving the place a real feel for Barbecue. We ordered several items from the menu to try, and they were all memorable. There's a large area dedicated for live music and dancing - which was not open just yet. I believe it is a family run business and the owner/chef takes great pride in his work--claims have been made that he doesn't let anybody else do the cooking. All the meats are smoked and prepared by him--a true testament to the craft. Limited hours of operation but I am so glad we decided to give this place a try and not go to that "other" steakhouse which claims to be from "down under". Great tasting food at a great price-- if your passing through the area do not let this one get away!

    Burnt ends brisket, pulled pork, collard greens and corn muffin - so good!

    We were traveling through Elyria on a Saturday night and stayed near this restaurant. Don't let the abandoned mall or other storefronts deter you from coming here - this is some of the best BBQ I've had! We had the burnt ends brisket and pulled pork - the brisket is exceptional. The collard greens and green beans were both delicious. And finally - the corn muffin was a very pleasant surprise. Serving sizes are big, we brought more than half home. The service was very good - the server was attentive and very sweet. If you're ever traveling I80 through Ohio - don't pass Elyria without stopping here.

    Fantastic "marbled brisket" which is the fattier brisket they serve. Great bbq sauce which is sweet and thick like I love as a native Kansas Citian. The chocolate cake was very very dense like a brownie and in good fudgy flavor with good moisture level. The pulled pork atop the salad was really juicy and flavorful. The ranch dressing was nasty and the Cajun aioli was pretty tangy and a bit spicy. The salad was unremarkable- just a bunch of lettuce (not mixed greens or anything) with cheese and a very few small mini bell pepper rings. Not bad with aioli and meat though.

    Good news: Uncle Bo's is open again. Great news: the food is better than ever. Don't miss this great BBQ place. The brisket is excellent and their sides are every bit as good as the meats. Try the jambalaya if you aren't afraid of little heat.

    Smoked Brisket

    I'm sorry to say this was only my first visit to uncle Bo's. The brisket was incredible. It has a nice dark bark on the outside and it was tender and juicy. I ordered carry out at the bar and the bartender said you're going to want more brisket because I ordered a half pound and she was right! I ordered 1 lb of brisket, a half rack of ribs, smoked half chicken, collard greens, baked beans, jalapeño Mac 'n cheese and cornbread. Without exception, everything was delicious, but I will say the brisket is on the next level! I've had smoked brisket in the south, and I don't recall it tasting this good. You might think the mac & cheese was spicy, but the heat was taken out of the jalapeños so it is something everyone could enjoy. I would say the ribs were more chew off the bone than fall off the bone, but the flavor was excellent. I highly recommend uncle Bo's.

    Brisket, Corn bread, slaw, and jalepeno mac and cheese

    See all
