Smokin’ Q’s BBQ and Beer House in Mayfield Village is a new project for an established Cleveland restaurateur. Carl Quagliati ran the beloved Giovanni’s Ristorante for 40 years; he bought the 82-year-old Fisher’s Tavern and transformed it into a southwestern-style smokehouse with former Giovanni’s chef, Texas-bred Zack Ladner in charge of the kitchen, opening in June 2017.
Meat platters featuring pulled pork, chicken, back ribs, brisket and more are served traditional style with cornbread, slaw and pickles or “el jefe” (Southwestern) with tortilla, salsa, guacamole and slaw. Meat sandwiches on homemade brioche buns, tacos and burgers (including a lentil burger for those who can’t deal with the meat) are also available, along with a good-sized list of appetizers, salads and sides — no one will leave here hungry.
