We had lunch and stayed for about an hour and a half. The food is wonderful and most of the staff are wonderful. Only complaint is our server did not fill our drinks after the initial drop off. She checked on the table next to us six times and by the time we finished our meal to when the check was dropped off not once was asked if we wanted a refill. I really wish I could give a full five stars cause the food is well worth it.

Oh My Gawd Becky, look at this rack, it’s so big! I have eaten at over 50 BBQ places in my life; the rated best-of-best places like Cozy Corner in Memphis and Grady’s in Carolina; chains like Dickey’s and Famous Dave’s; places good and bad you’ve never heard of… and Uncle Bo’s is right there with the best of them. I couldn’t possibly recommend this place more. We ended up here by accident, caught in some lake effect snow and stopped for the night, Bo’s was right next door, so why not. It’s an old Lonestar, next to a virtually vacant Mall, in a part of Elyria that won’t be confused with the Flats. Expectations were low.. pulling into the empty parking lot at 8pm on a Friday night didn’t do much to raise hopes. But the moment the first whiff of BBQ hit our noses and for the next 70 minutes everything was perfecto. The greeter was friendly, the decor was amazing, the menu was traditional yet unique, it had everything you’d expect and some treats you wouldn’t but will love. They had a catfish special (lent in Elyria is a big thing I’d learn). They had a super selection of beer and wine and a whole list of alcohol concoctions.. we went for Ozark Lemonaid and Carolina Blueshine and it was fabulous. We got a half rack of ribs, baked potato, Jalapeño Mac & Cheese, Cajun Jambalaya rice and a platter of Beef Brisket. Freaking awesome. We asked if they might have any extra Jalapeño and got a whole fresh Jalapeño, plus Uncle Bo himself brought out some ghost pepper BBQ for us to try. He was a pleasure to talk to. Our server was a joy. A few more people got tables, but this place should have had a 2 hour wait. It’d be worth it. Next door was a full parking lot at Applebees.. seriously.. idiots, everyone of them, they don’t know what they are missing. If you made it this far, you probably ly think this is a paid advertisement. I assure you it’s not. I’m just a verbose guy who likes to do reviews and I’ll tell you exactly like it is, good ir bad. This is one of my new all-time favorites.. try it, you’ll agree.

We never had brisket before. It was phenomenal. Their cornbread muffins are homemade and terrific,garlic and Parmesan french fries, jalapeno Mac and cheese…not flaming hot, just for flavor. The kids loved it. Even their green beans were delicious, and I’m not a green bean fan. Ribs, burgers. Excellent menu and good prices. You will walk away filled up . Wait staff was friendly, helpful and speedy. Restaurant was very clean. Wonderful place to eat.

The meat is so good here. I love the burnt ends, catfish, brisket, sausage….the list goes on. The jalapeno Mac is amazing too. More people need to give them business, we can’t lose such a good smokehouse in this area. My mouth is watering just thinking about the food.

I don’t normally order BBQ at restaurants outside of Texas or Memphis because I have found that I almost always can make it better at home — and sometimes it’s not even close. I decided to buck that trend and go with my gut and trust that Uncle Bo knows what he’s doing, and by golly does he! The brisket was moist and flavorful with a nice bark and proper smoke ring. It was, dare I say, teetering on the edge of being the slightest bit overdone, but just like ribs, some people like it that way, and I won’t argue. You could definitely cut the brisket with a spoon, but the flavor is so good that you can overlook it if you like a little more pull.

The brisket burnt ends were absolutely delicious as well as the sides. The potato was huge. We really enjoyed ourselves and Kara was a great waitress. We will definitely be back.
